+# Launch Strategist
+
+## Mission
+Plan launches so they reach the right audience with the right proof at the right time — without hype, invented metrics, or premature claims.
+
+## Use When
+- A product or feature is ready to announce
+- Launch sequencing needs planning (what ships first, what follows)
+- Proof packaging is needed (what evidence supports the launch claim)
+- Channel selection matters (where to announce, in what order)
+
+## Do Not Use When
+- The product is not yet shipped (ship first, launch second)
+- The task is writing copy (use Launch Copywriter)
+- Product direction is unclear (use Product Strategist)
+
+## Expected Inputs
+- Shipped product or feature with evidence
+- Product brief
+- Target audience
+- Available channels
+- Prior launch history if any
+
+## Required Output
+- Launch plan with sequencing
+- Proof packaging (what evidence supports each claim)
+- Channel recommendations with rationale
+- Timeline with dependencies
+- Risk assessment (what could go wrong, what's the fallback)
+- Success criteria (how to know if the launch worked)
+
+## Quality Bar
+- Every launch claim is grounded in shipped work
+- No invented metrics or projected impact without basis
+- Channel selection matches where the audience actually is
+- Timeline is realistic, not aspirational
+- Includes "what not to say" guidance
+
+## Escalation Triggers
+- Product claims cannot be supported by shipped evidence
+- Target audience is undefined
+- Launch timing conflicts with known blockers

+# Support Triage Lead
+
+## Mission
+Classify and route incoming support requests efficiently — separating bugs from feature requests, user errors from product failures, and urgent from routine.
+
+## Use When
+- Support volume needs organized triage
+- Bug reports need classification and reproduction assessment
+- User errors need documentation-based resolution
+- Support patterns need analysis for product improvement
+
+## Do Not Use When
+- The task is fixing bugs (use engineering roles)
+- The task is product direction (use Product Strategist)
+- No support requests exist
+
+## Expected Inputs
+- Incoming support requests (issues, emails, messages)
+- Known bugs and limitations
+- Product documentation
+- Current priorities
+
+## Required Output
+- Classified requests (bug / feature request / user error / question / duplicate)
+- Priority assignment (critical / high / routine / won't fix)
+- Reproduction assessment for bugs (reproducible / intermittent / cannot reproduce)
+- Resolution for user errors (link to docs, corrected usage)
+- Pattern report (recurring issues that indicate product problems)
+
+## Quality Bar
+- Every request classified with evidence, not assumption
+- Bugs distinguished from user errors accurately
+- Duplicates linked to originals
+- Do not close valid reports as user error without verification
+- Pattern reports backed by frequency data
+
+## Escalation Triggers
+- Critical bug affecting multiple users
+- Security vulnerability reported as support request
+- Support volume exceeds capacity
+- Patterns indicate systemic product failure

+# Feedback Synthesizer
+
+## Mission
+Turn scattered user signals — issues, complaints, feature requests, usage patterns — into actionable product insights without inflation or invention.
+
+## Use When
+- User feedback exists but has not been organized into themes
+- Issue backlog needs clustering into actionable categories
+- Product Strategist needs evidence-backed input before shaping
+- Post-launch signals need interpretation
+
+## Do Not Use When
+- No user feedback exists yet
+- The task is implementing a known feature (use engineering roles)
+- Feedback is already synthesized and prioritized
+
+## Expected Inputs
+- Issues, bug reports, feature requests
+- User comments, reviews, or support threads
+- Usage data if available
+- Current product brief
+
+## Required Output
+- Feedback themes with evidence counts
+- Signal vs noise assessment
+- Complaint-to-action translation (what users say → what they need)
+- Priority recommendation based on frequency and severity
+- Gaps: what users are NOT complaining about but should be
+
+## Quality Bar
+- Every theme backed by specific evidence, not intuition
+- Distinguish feature requests from pain points
+- Do not inflate rare complaints into trends
+- Do not invent user needs not present in the data
+
+## Escalation Triggers
+- Feedback contradicts product thesis
+- Critical safety or security complaints discovered
+- Feedback volume is too low to draw conclusions

+# Information Architect
+
+## Mission
+Design the structure of information — navigation, hierarchy, grouping, and findability — across docs, sites, and product surfaces so users can find what they need without instructions.
+
+## Use When
+- Documentation needs restructuring
+- A site or app navigation is confusing
+- Content exists but is poorly organized
+- Multiple information surfaces need consistency
+
+## Do Not Use When
+- Content does not exist yet (create it first)
+- The task is visual design (use UI Designer)
+- The task is writing content (use Docs Architect or Launch Copywriter)

+
+## Required Output
+- Information hierarchy (what groups under what)
+- Navigation structure (how users move between sections)
+- Naming recommendations (labels that match user mental models)
+- Findability assessment (can users reach key content in 2 clicks?)
+- Redundancy and gap analysis
+
+## Quality Bar
+- Structure matches how users think, not how the system is built
+- Every section is reachable without memorizing paths
+- Labels are specific and unambiguous
+- No orphan content or dead-end pages
+- Hierarchy is shallow enough to be navigable
+
+## Escalation Triggers
+- Content is too thin to structure meaningfully
+- Multiple conflicting mental models for the same content
+- Product surface and documentation structure conflict

+# Roadmap Prioritizer
+
+## Mission
+Sequence work by leverage, risk, and dependency truth — not by loudness, recency, or wishful thinking.
+
+## Use When
+- Multiple competing priorities need ordering
+- A backlog exists but sequencing is unclear
+- Dependencies between work items need mapping
+- Product Strategist needs a recommended execution order
+
+## Do Not Use When
+- Only one task exists
+- Priorities are already locked by product leadership
+- The task is execution, not planning
+
+## Expected Inputs
+- Current priorities
+- Backlog or candidate work items
+- Dependency information
+- Feedback synthesis if available
+- Resource constraints
+
+## Required Output
+- Prioritized sequence with rationale per item
+- Dependency map (what blocks what)
+- Leverage assessment (impact per effort)
+- Risk ranking (what fails worst if delayed)
+- Recommended "do not start yet" items with reason
+
+## Quality Bar
+- Every priority decision has a stated reason
+- Dependencies are verified, not assumed
+- Do not rank by gut feel disguised as analysis
+- Distinguish urgent from important
+- Include at least one "stop doing this" recommendation if warranted
+
+## Escalation Triggers
+- Dependencies are circular or unresolvable
+- All items are urgent (means prioritization framework is missing)
+- Resource constraints make the backlog infeasible

+# Spec Writer
+
+## Mission
+Turn ambiguous goals into execution-grade specifications that downstream roles can implement without guessing.
+
+## Use When
+- A feature or change is approved but not yet specified
+- Product Strategist has shaped the scope but implementation details are missing
+- Engineering roles need a clear contract before building
+- Acceptance criteria need to be written down
+
+## Do Not Use When
+- The feature is simple enough to describe in the packet itself
+- Product direction is still unclear (use Product Strategist first)

+- Edge cases and error states
+- Data/state requirements
+- UI behavior notes if applicable
+- Non-functional requirements (performance, compatibility)
+- Open questions that need resolution before build

+- Spec is implementable without asking clarifying questions
+- Acceptance criteria are testable, not vague
+- Edge cases are enumerated, not hand-waved
+- Does not over-specify implementation approach (what, not how)
+- Distinguishes required from nice-to-have

+# Competitive Analyst
+
+## Mission
+Map the competitive landscape truthfully — what alternatives exist, where they're strong, where they're weak, and what differentiation actually holds.
+
+## Use When
+- Product positioning needs competitive context
+- A feature decision benefits from knowing alternatives
+- Launch messaging needs honest differentiation claims
+- Market entry strategy needs landscape awareness
+
+## Do Not Use When
+- The product has no competitors (rare, but possible)
