Matt PocockandClaude Opus 4.8 e74fee89fe ask-matt: give wayfinder real routing help
Wayfinder is the heaviest, most cognitively demanding flow, and the
wiki shows people misusing it two ways: over-reaching for it on
well-scoped work (it's slower and denser than a single grill), and
losing the way at the handoff after the map (looping straight into
/implement and skipping /to-spec). Sharpen the router's wayfinder
on-ramp to steer both.

Make /ask-matt clued-up about /wayfinder — the heaviest, most cognitively demanding flow.

The router now sharpens the two routing mistakes people most often make with wayfinder:

  • Over-reaching for it. It's slower and denser than a single grill, so it's flagged as the heaviest flow and reserved for the idea that genuinely won't fit one session — a well-scoped feature belongs on /grill-with-docs, not here.
  • Losing the way at the handoff. When the map clears, wayfinder hands off, it doesn't build: merge onto the main flow at /to-spec (which collapses the map's linked decisions into a buildable plan) rather than looping the map straight into /implement. Straight-to-/implement is only for efforts that turned out genuinely small.
