# spk-mission-types

Use this skill when the user asks which kind of mission to run or how mission
types differ.

## Workflow

1. Identify the requested work: software change, documentation, research, or
   custom/team workflow.
2. Compare available mission types before creating new process.
3. Use the legacy `spec-kitty-mission-system` skill for detailed step-contract,
   procedure, action-index, and template-resolution mechanics.

## Boundary

Mission types define workflow behavior. Skills explain how to operate that
behavior; they do not redefine the mission DAG.
