Create Wardley Map

Create a Wardley Map to visualize value chains and component evolution for strategic planning.

Workflow

Step 1: Parse Arguments

  • context (required): The domain to map
  • focus (optional): Specific area within domain
  • depth (optional): overview | standard | detailed

Step 2: Research Context

Use MCP servers to understand the domain:

  1. Research current industry landscape for the context
  2. Identify common components and patterns
  3. Understand evolution state of key technologies

Step 3: Spawn Strategy Mapmaker Agent

Invoke the strategy-mapmaker agent with:

Create a Wardley Map for: [context]
Focus area: [focus if provided, or "full scope"]
Detail level: [depth or "standard"]

Requirements:
1. Start with user need identification
2. Build complete value chain
3. Position all components on evolution axis
4. Identify movement and inertia
5. Document strategic observations
6. Provide OWM notation for rendering

Step 4: Validate Output

Ensure the map includes:

  • Clear user need as anchor
  • Components positioned on both axes
  • Dependencies mapped
  • Evolution stages justified
  • Movement indicators where relevant
  • Strategic observations
  • OWM notation for visualization

Step 5: Return Results

Present the complete Wardley Map with:

  1. Visual representation (Mermaid or ASCII)
  2. OWM notation for online rendering
  3. Component analysis table
  4. Strategic observations
  5. Recommended next steps

Examples

Basic Usage

/wardley-map "e-commerce platform"

Creates a standard-depth Wardley Map for an e-commerce platform.

Focused Map

/wardley-map "CI/CD pipeline" focus="deployment-automation"

Creates a map focused on the deployment automation aspect.

Detailed Analysis

/wardley-map "cloud migration strategy" depth="detailed"

Creates a detailed map with comprehensive component analysis.

Output Format

The command produces:

  1. Map Overview: Purpose, scope, user need
  2. Visual Map: Rendered diagram or OWM notation
  3. Component Table: All components with positions
  4. Strategic Analysis: Opportunities, threats, plays
  5. Next Steps: Actionable recommendations

cache-components

Expert guidance for Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR). **PROACTIVE ACTIVATION**: Use this skill automatically when working in Next.js projects that have `cacheComponents: true` in their next.config.ts/next.config.js. When this config is detected, proactively apply Cache Components patterns and best practices to all React Server Component implementations. **DETECTION**: At the start of a session in a Next.js project, check for `cacheComponents: true` in next.config. If enabled, this skill's patterns should guide all component authoring, data fetching, and caching decisions. **USE CASES**: Implementing 'use cache' directive, configuring cache lifetimes with cacheLife(), tagging cached data with cacheTag(), invalidating caches with updateTag()/revalidateTag(), optimizing static vs dynamic content boundaries, debugging cache issues, and reviewing Cache Component implementations.
