name: spk-mission-types description: "Explain Spec Kitty mission types, step contracts, action indices, and when to choose each mission workflow."
spk-mission-types
Use this skill when the user asks which kind of mission to run or how mission types differ.
Workflow
- Identify the requested work: software change, standalone planning, documentation, research, or custom/team workflow.
- Compare available mission types before creating new process.
- Use the legacy
spec-kitty-mission-systemskill for detailed step-contract, procedure, action-index, and template-resolution mechanics.
Boundary
Mission types define workflow behavior. Skills explain how to operate that behavior; they do not redefine the mission DAG.
Built-In Types
