What Wayfinder does

Wayfinder plans large efforts as a shared map of decision tickets on an issue tracker, then resolves them one at a time until the route to the destination is clear. Use it when the work is too big for one agent session and needs decisions before execution.

Wayfinder is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Wayfinder comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai-agents, claude-code, codex and coding-agents.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

A loose idea has arrived — too big for one agent session, and wrapped in fog: the way from here to the destination isn't visible yet. Wayfinding is about finding that way, not charging at the destination. This skill charts the way as a shared map on the repo's issue tracker, then works its decision tickets — questions whose resolution is a decision, not slices of a build to execute — one at a time until the route is clear.

The destination varies per effort, and naming it is the first act of charting — it shapes every ticket. It might be a spec to hand off and iterate on, a decision to lock before planning starts, or a change made in place like a data-structure migration. The map is domain-agnostic — engineering work, course content, whatever fits the shape.
