$ /venture "an idea"

Venture case study · in progress

A Claude Code skill that takes a raw idea to a store release, and says no when it should. One orchestrator, phase files loaded one at a time, subagents doing the work, a human at every gate that matters.

version: v0.3.1
entry points: bootstrap · resume · adopt · retro
runs to store testing: 2
lessons folded back: 58

The epic loop is the part that runs unattended: pick the first unchecked epic, split it into sprint tasks, route UI work through a design loop, execute each task through TDD on its own branch, flip the checkbox when it lands. Kill the session and it resumes from the two state files.

$ cat SKILL.md | grep rule

Hard rules

menus, not guessesevery technology choice is a menu with one recommended option, never a silent pick
the gate always stopsvalidation ends in go / pivot / park and waits for a human, whatever the automation setting
two files of statePLAN.md holds decisions, BACKLOG.md holds checkboxes, nothing else remembers anything
publish needs consentrepo visibility, store submissions and DNS ask again at the moment of execution
no leaked identitye-mails, git names and org names are never inferred from the machine
