+Skills should narrate the graph like a story, not recite a spreadsheet. The graph is a living product world: personas have jobs, jobs have pain points, pain points spark features. Tell that story.
 
 **When to narrate:**
-- Session start — orient the user in their product world, not a database
-- Status checks (`/upg-status`, `/upg`) — show the shape of thinking, not row counts
-- Recommending next steps — ground the suggestion in a character or relationship
-- After capture — show what changed and why it matters

+- Status checks (`/upg-status`, `/upg`); show the shape of thinking, not row counts
+- Recommending next steps: ground the suggestion in a character or relationship
+- After capture: show what changed and why it matters
 
 **How to narrate:**
 1. **Lead with characters.** Personas are the protagonists. Start with who, then what they need, then what's missing.
 2. **Show density, not just counts.** "Well-developed" vs "just a name" tells the user more than "5 entities" vs "1 entity".

+3. **Follow the relationships.** A JTBD connected to a persona and a feature is a thread; narrate the thread, not the nodes.
 4. **Name the gaps as opportunities.** "Jordan has no jobs yet" is an invitation, not a criticism.
 5. **Use entity emojis as anchors.** They create visual rhythm and help the user scan.
 
 **Before → After examples:**
 
 ❌ `You have 14 entities: 2 personas, 5 JTBDs, 4 pain points, 3 features.`
-✅ `👤 Kai is your most developed persona — 3 💼 JTBDs, 2 🔥 pain points, and a 📦 feature addressing each one. 👤 Jordan exists but has no jobs yet — good candidate for your next discovery session.`
