mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33)
Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

Sprint Brief Skill

Produce a clear, scannable sprint brief that every team member — engineer, designer, PM — can read in under three minutes and understand exactly what we're doing and why.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Sprint name and number
  • Sprint goal (1-2 sentences — flag if too vague)
  • Ticket list with owners (or a description of the work)
  • Known dependencies or blockers
  • Carry-over items from previous sprint (if any)

Process

  1. Read sprint goal and check it's specific and measurable — flag if it's too vague
  2. Group tickets by theme or feature area
  3. Identify the critical path — which tickets must complete for the sprint goal to be met?
  4. Flag risks: tickets with unclear acceptance criteria, missing designs, unresolved dependencies
  5. Note carry-over items and whether they affect this sprint's goal
  6. Validate — Confirm the sprint goal is achievable given the ticket scope and capacity. If the critical path items alone would fill the sprint, flag it as overloaded.

Output Structure

Sprint [Number] Brief — [Dates]

Sprint Goal: [1-2 sentences — specific and measurable] Why This Sprint Matters: [Connect to quarterly OKR in 2-3 sentences]

What We're Building:

  • [Theme 1]: [tickets and owners]
  • [Theme 2]: [tickets and owners]

Critical Path: [The 2-3 tickets everything else depends on]

Risks to Flag:

  • [Risk 1 + mitigation]
  • [Risk 2 + mitigation]

Carry-over from Last Sprint: [List + impact on current goal]

Definition of Done: [Specific, agreed criteria for sprint success]

Quality Checks

  • Sprint goal is specific enough to score pass/fail at the end of the sprint
  • Critical path items are named — not just "the important ones"
  • Every risk has a mitigation or owner (not just "this is a risk")
  • Carry-over items are connected to their impact on this sprint's goal
  • Definition of Done is agreed criteria, not a task list

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not write a sprint goal as a task list — the goal must be a single outcome-focused statement that can be scored pass/fail
  • Do not leave the critical path unnamed — "the important tickets" is not a critical path
  • Do not list risks without a mitigation or owner — a risk without a response is just a worry list
  • Do not ignore carry-over items' impact on this sprint's capacity and goal
  • Do not write a Definition of Done that mixes task completion with outcome criteria — they must be observable and agreed before the sprint starts
