Task Estimation
Turn fuzzy scope into a properly hedged estimate before anyone mistakes your number for a promise. This skill walks you through choosing the right sizing unit (story points, t-shirts, ranges), surfacing confidence and unknowns, comparing against anchors, and deciding whether to split the work or spike the risk first. It handles developer workflow, web/fullstack, product/ops, marketing/GTM, and game projects, and it separates discovery from delivery so you don't accidentally commit to fake precision. You get a clean estimate packet with uncertainty drivers, dependencies, and a forecast note explaining what the number actually means. Routes decomposition to task-planning and retrospectives to sprint-retrospective.
