author-item

Use ONLY when explicitly asked to write, file, structure, or revise a work outcome item, issue ticket, outcome brief, or backlog entry (Stage 1 ATDD: defining goal, observable positive and negative acceptance test cases, constraints, and references without prescribing implementation steps), or when ranking backlog items by Cost of Delay divided by Duration (CD3 / WSJF). Use when turning a vague request or step-by-step task list into a structured WHAT-only work item or brief. Do NOT use when asked to add, build, or implement a code feature, parser capability, or export format directly (use deliver-and-verify, even if the workspace is empty), when drafting or evaluating a launch plan, architecture, tech stack, contract, or budget (use challenge), when investigating a failure or unblocking a task (use prove-it or unblock), or when writing/translating user-facing copy (use clear-writing).
