* poteto-mode: extend Prototype playbook to empirical forks
Prototype was UI-only (layout/interaction, the eye is the test). Broaden
the trigger and steps 1/5 so a throwaway sketch can settle a behavioral
or timing fork by observation (which behavior, which timing, which
approach), not just a visual one. This is the destination the new
self-unblock trigger routes to.
* poteto-mode: route the AskQuestion reflex to a sketch
Before asking the human a which-approach / how-should-I / what-should-this-do
question, classify it. If the answer is empirical (observable by running
something), sketch it via the Prototype playbook and let the result decide;
reserve the ask for a genuine product or preference call. Wires Never Block
on the Human to Prototype, and broadens the Prototype catalog entry to match.
* poteto-mode: finish the Prototype empirical-fork broadening
Three gaps in the partial broadening. Step 3 still assumed a UI build, so
it now names the script path for a behavioral or timing decision. The Reply
still demanded screenshots, so it asks for the matching evidence instead.
The AskQuestion trigger had no read-only carve-out, so a cited-answer
Investigation no longer routes to a build.
* poteto-mode: add "sequence work into verifiable units" principle
New principle leaf plus its index entry in the Verification group. Break
multi-step work into small units that each end in a check, verify each
before the next, and stack commits and PRs so the sequence proves itself
to a reviewer (the failing test first, then the fix).
* poteto-mode: thread sequence-verifiable-units into playbooks
Reference the principle where it applies: the iterate-and-verify steps of
perf-issue and autonomous-run, the commit-staging steps of bug-fix,
feature, and refactoring, and the figure-it-out loop.
* pstack: per-role model configuration via /setup-pstack, drop codex
Makes pstack's model choices configurable per role instead of hardcoded.
- New /setup-pstack skill detects your available models and writes
~/.cursor/rules/pstack-models.mdc, an always-applied rule with one
line per role.
- poteto-mode gains a Model configuration section (default table and
precedence). Skills read the configured model per role and fall back
to the inline default when the rule is absent, so nothing breaks
with no setup.
- Review panels (arena, architect, interrogate, how critics) are now
config-driven and count-agnostic. One subagent runs per configured
model, with no fixed count or A/B/C/D labels.
- Dropped gpt-5.3-codex-high-fast. bug-fix and perf-issue default to
gpt-5.5-high-fast; feature and refactoring stay composer-2.5-fast.
Version bump to 0.8.0.
* pstack: keep model config out of poteto-mode
Drop the Model configuration section and table from poteto-mode. The
canonical defaults live in the setup-pstack rule shape, and each skill
already carries its inline default, so poteto-mode only needs a one-line
pointer in its Task defaults. Fixes the plan.md and setup-pstack
back-references to the removed section.
* pstack: build-the-lever defaults to building the tool for any non-trivial work
* pstack: plain wording in build-the-lever Balance
* pstack: add gold-plating to unslop abstract-metaphor list
* pstack: add usage examples to README
* pstack: condense README examples into a one-line bullet list
* pstack: drop trailing gloss from README examples, keep label + prompt
* pstack: wrap README examples in a single code block
the skills table listed every shipped non-principle skill except
typescript-best-practices. add a row for it in the README's existing
voice. the principles section already enumerates all eighteen principle
skills, including type-system-discipline, so it needs no change.
lauren tan's working style as a Cursor plugin. Bundles the poteto-mode
routing skill plus the workflow skills it routes through (how, why,
architect, arena, unslop, interrogate, automate-me, reflect, tdd) and
the full seventeen-skill set of first principles. Ships the poteto-agent
subagent that runs the same workflow end-to-end.
The why skill discovers available MCPs at run time and maps each to an
evidence category (source control, issue tracker, long-form docs,
real-time chat, infra observability, error tracking, analytics
warehouse). No third-party service integrations required.
cursor-team-kit's control-cli, control-ui, and deslop are referenced as
sibling-plugin dependencies for surfaces and commit cleanup; the kit
works standalone otherwise.
