# Skill navigator Human Guide

## What This Is For
Use this skill when you need guidance on which skill to use for any task. It gives the agent a clearer input/output frame for skill navigator: what context to ask for, what decisions to make, and what usable artifact to return.

Use this as a human-readable version of the Skill navigator agent skill. It is meant for marketers, operators, founders, and other non-coders who want the workflow without reading agent-specific implementation instructions.

## When To Use This
- Use this when you need a repeatable process for skill navigator.
- Use this when the task needs judgment, examples, constraints, or a clear output format rather than a one-off prompt.
- Use this when you want to hand an AI assistant enough context to produce a usable marketing artifact.

## When Not To Use This
- Do not use this when you only need a quick factual answer.
- Do not use this when the work depends on private data you cannot share with the assistant.
- Do not use this as a replacement for legal, compliance, financial, or medical review.

## What You Need Before Starting
- The goal or business outcome you want.
- The audience, customer segment, or market context.
- Any source material the assistant should respect, such as notes, briefs, examples, URLs, or brand guidance.
- Constraints such as tone, length, channel, deadline, region, or approval requirements.
- A clear definition of what a good final answer should look like.

## Step-By-Step Workflow
1. State the job clearly: "Use the Skill navigator guide to help me with..."
2. Add context: audience, goal, offer, channel, source material, and constraints.
3. Ask the assistant to identify missing inputs before producing the final output.
4. Have the assistant follow the skill-specific guidance below.
5. Review the result against the final checklist and ask for revisions where needed.

## Skill-Specific Guidance
- Identify the best primary skill from the local `skills/` directory.
- Suggest at most 2 supporting skills for multi-step workflows.
- Explain the handoff order in plain language.
- Provide one copy-paste prompt for the recommended next step.
- Avoid recommending skills that are not present in this plugin.
- **Be Specific**: Focus on concrete, actionable outputs
- **Use Templates**: Provide copy-paste ready formats
- **Include Examples**: Show real-world usage
- **Add Context**: Explain why recommendations matter
- **Stay Current**: Use latest best practices for meta
- Understand user's context and goals
- Generate comprehensive output

## Decision Points And Nuance
The original skill emphasizes: Workspace Context, Operating Contract, Instructions, Output Format, Recommended Skill, Supporting Skills, Suggested Workflow, Copy-Paste Prompt, Best Practices, Common Use Cases.

Use these questions to steer the work:
- What is the intended audience or buyer?
- What source material must be preserved?
- What should the assistant optimize for: clarity, persuasion, accuracy, speed, creativity, or conversion?
- What examples represent the desired quality bar?
- What should the assistant avoid?

## Common Mistakes
- Avoid recommending skills that are not present in this plugin.

## Workspace Context

Read bootstrap context before asking questions: `strategy/brand.md` for brand, audience, offer, channels, tools, constraints, and metrics; `about/me.md` for personal voice; `content/ideas.md` and `content/calendar.md` for content planning. Use legacy product-marketing context files only as fallback. Save generated drafts to `content/<platform>/drafts/YYYY-MM-DD_short-topic-slug.md`, and route durable learnings back to `strategy/brand.md`, `about/me.md`, or `content/ideas.md`.

## Operating Contract

This skill is self-contained for its frontmatter scope: use its local instructions, references, scripts, and assets as the playbook; ask only for missing task-specific inputs; hand off to adjacent skills instead of expanding scope; and return an actionable artifact, decision, plan, draft, or diagnostic.
