# Slice skill source

## Question

Implement the packaged `slice` skill source from the approved implementation-ready specification.

## What to build

Use `/design-skill` to add the `slice` skill under the repository's packaged skill source tree.
The skill should guide agents through slicing source material into Wayfinder task tickets, including artifact destination handling, review-before-write behavior, blocking-edge recording, and implementation-oriented task bodies.

## Acceptance criteria

- [x] `/design-skill` has been applied to draft and verify the skill structure.
- [x] `skills/slice/SKILL.md` exists and follows the approved specification.
- [x] Any companion reference files needed by the skill live under `skills/slice/`.
- [x] The skill description is concise and accurately describes when to use `slice`.
- [x] The skill does not instruct agents to write `.claude/tasks/` files.
- [x] The skill uses Wayfinder artifact terminology consistently with `ARTIFACTS.md`.

## Implementation Notes

Created `skills/slice/SKILL.md` with `disable-model-invocation: true`.
No companion reference files were needed.
The skill source embeds the minimum Wayfinder ticket contract and tells agents to follow destination artifact conventions.
Applied `/design-skill` structurally by checking invocation mode, information hierarchy, completion criteria, duplication, sediment, sprawl, no-op behavior, and leading-word fit against `skills/design-skill/GLOSSARY.md`.
A headless Pi smoke-test with `--skill skills/slice` did not reliably exercise the user-invoked skill and produced horizontal slices, so I tightened the skill text to reject layer-only slices and to give an exact review shape.
The smoke-test evidence is under `/tmp/slice-smoke/`.
