solution-factory

Start a new solution end-to-end (Frame → Draft → Polish → Ship). Default for new chats in the Solution Factory Cowork project.

Run Stage 2 (Draft) — markdown drafting of all 8 deliverables. Calls specialty skills from consulting, marketing, brand, cx, facilitation, design plugins as needed.

Run only Stage 1 (Frame) — the intake walkthrough. Output is a filled 00_Intake_Brief.md in WIP/. AskUserQuestion-driven for discrete fields; conversational for free-text.

Run Stage 3 (Polish) — generate visuals via the canonical toolchain (Napkin / Figma / PowerPoint native / higgsfield / Flaticon), format markdown to PPTX/PDF/HTML, apply brand. Optional Composable DXP microsite.

Run Stage 4 (Ship) — Quality Gates checklist, cross-document consistency check, dual-routed promotion (Composable DXP → 10_Practice; Slalom default → 40_Library), reference stub creation, practice catalog update.

Worker agent that promotes a finished solution from WIP to its canonical home, routing by Brand. For Composable DXP secondary solutions: copies to 10_Practice/Offerings/Solutions/{Tier}/[Solution-Name]-[YYYY-MM]-Slalom/, then delegates to solution-factory-stub-generator for the library reference stub at 40_Library/Solution_Briefs/. For Slalom default solutions: copies to 40_Library/Solution_Briefs/[Solution-Name]-[YYYY-MM]-Slalom/. Generates the hybrid promoted folder README.md with frontmatter + One-Pager content + kit index. Updates the practice catalog where applicable. Returns canonical and stub paths.

Worker agent that creates a new WIP folder for a solution. Called by solution-factory-frame after the Round 1 (solution name + brand) AskUserQuestion is captured. Creates 60_Digital_Manufacturing/Solution_Factory/WIP/[solution-name]/, copies the Intake_Brief.md template into it as 00_Intake_Brief.md, copies the eight deliverable templates from Templates/ as 01_*.md through 08_*.md, and creates the assets/ subfolder structure. Returns the absolute paths so the caller can surface them to the user.

Worker agent that creates the single-file library reference stub for Composable DXP secondary solutions promoted to 10_Practice/Offerings/Solutions/. The stub lives at 40_Library/Solution_Briefs/[Solution-Name]-[YYYY-MM]-Slalom.md and is a small markdown pointer back to the canonical practice path — discoverability surface without duplication. Single source of truth: the canonical practice folder; this is just the pointer.

Stage 2 orchestrator for the Solution Factory — Draft. Sequences the markdown-first drafting of all 8 deliverables (One-Pager, Sales Enablement Kit, Discovery Workshop, First Call Deck, Case Study, Email Templates, Handoff Packet, Marketing Handoff). Calls specialty skills from consulting, marketing, brand, cx, facilitation, and design plugins as needed. Pauses for review at the end of each deliverable (or batches review of the trio One-Pager + Sales Enablement Kit + First Call Deck per user preference). Output: 8 markdown files in WIP/. Also known as: solution drafting, deliverable authoring, draft stage runner.

Stage 1 orchestrator for the Solution Factory — Frame. Walks the user through the intake using AskUserQuestion for discrete decisions and conversational input for free-text fields. Captures the 5 required calls (Reframe / Deb Oler / Buyer State / Posture / Tier) plus the rest of the intake (problem, components, capabilities, industries, buyer personas, listen-fors). Outputs a filled `00_Intake_Brief.md` in `WIP/[solution-name]/`. Calls the `solution-factory-scaffolder` agent to set up the WIP folder structure. Routes to `solution-factory-draft` when the readiness check passes. Also known as: intake walkthrough, solution intake, frame stage runner.

Stage 3 orchestrator for the Solution Factory — Polish. Generates visuals using the canonical toolchain (Napkin, Figma+Mermaid, PowerPoint native, higgsfield with nano banana / chatgpt 2 / Seedance, Flaticon). Formats markdown to output (16:9 PPTX via PowerPoint MCP, 8.5×11 PDF via Word MCP, optional Composable DXP microsite via Vercel). Applies brand (Slalom default vs. Composable DXP secondary). Output: PPTX/PDF/HTML files at the top level of WIP. Also known as: visual + format + brand stage, polish runner.

Stage 4 orchestrator for the Solution Factory — Ship. Runs the Quality Gates checklist (15 unified anti-patterns + ~10 SF-specific gates), runs the cross-document consistency check, then promotes via the dual routing logic (Composable DXP secondary → 10_Practice/Offerings/Solutions/{Tier}/[Name]; Slalom default → 40_Library/Solution_Briefs/[Name]). Creates the library reference stub for DXP solutions. Updates the practice catalog. Calls `solution-factory-promoter` agent for the file-system work. Output: kit at canonical home + (optional) reference stub + WIP archived. Also known as: quality gates + promote, ship runner, solution finalization.

Advice skill for the Solution Factory. Inspects the WIP/ folder at 60_Digital_Manufacturing/Solution_Factory/ and reports on active solutions — which are at which stage (Frame / Draft / Polish / Ship), how complete each is, what's blocking, what's stale. Optionally inspects the canonical promotion targets (10_Practice/Offerings/Solutions/ and 40_Library/Solution_Briefs/) to report on recently shipped solutions. Read-only — does not modify anything. Also known as: WIP status, solution status, solution factory dashboard.
