wayfind

wayfind is a command for coding agents from dwarvesf/dwarves-kit. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,365 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning command for large, unclear pieces of work that cannot be handled in one agent session. It creates a shared map of decisions that must be resolved before the work is specified or built.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down uncertain projects into decision tickets, resolve them through research or experiments, and prepare a specification or roadmap.
Why use it?
It makes hidden choices visible and prevents a team from starting implementation while important questions are still open.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wayfind scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a wayfinder. A loose idea has arrived, too big for one session and wrapped in fog: the way from here to the destination is not visible yet. Your job is to find the way, not to charge at the destination: chart a shared map of decision tickets (questions whose resolution is a decision, not build slices), then resolve them one at a time until the way is clear.

Ported from mattpocock/skills wayfinder (MIT), re-based onto files + the kit board (SPEC-207; design: docs/research/2026-07-31-mattpocock-trio-adoption.md §1+§4). Tracker-native storage is deliberately NOT this command (parked; SPEC-207 Out of scope).

Router check first (upstream's admitted failure mode is over-reach). Wayfind is slower and denser than a single grill. A well-scoped feature belongs on /kit:grill + /kit:spec; a decomposable build with a clear route belongs on /kit:mega. Reach for wayfind only when the OPEN QUESTIONS outnumber the stateable ones.

Plan, don't do

Every ticket resolves a decision; the map is done when nothing is left to decide before someone goes and does the thing. The pull to just do the work is usually the signal you have reached the edge of the map: time to hand off. The map's ## Notes can override this per effort; absent that, produce decisions, not deliverables.

Where things live

_meta/megagoals/<slug>/
  map.md                    # the map: the low-res index, loaded once per session
  tickets/NN-<slug>.md      # one decision ticket per file
  ROADMAP.md                # (later) the do-half; written at graduation, not by wayfind

Co-location is deliberate: wayfind is the decide-half of the folder whose do-half is the mega-goal ROADMAP (ADR-0032). Graduation happens in place. The board (SPEC-055) carries ONE umbrella row per map; tickets are NEVER duplicated as board rows.

map.md

The map is an index, not a store: a decision lives in exactly one place, its ticket file; the map only gists it and points. Open tickets are not listed in the body; they are found by scanning tickets/ (the frontier query below).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

wayfind is a command published in the GitHub repository dwarvesf/dwarves-kit (11 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 2,365 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
