feat: add kanban-guru skill 555cf087d9

A virtual Kanban expert skill with rich reference material covering all
seven cadences, classes of service, Little's Law, flow metrics,
multi-portfolio operating models, and Scrum-to-Kanban transitions.

- SKILL.md: diagnosis, design, and transition modes with QuickScan
- references/cadences.md: all seven cadences with agendas and formats
- references/classes-of-service.md: four canonical + custom classes
- references/flow-metrics.md: SLEs, CFDs, forecasting, right-sizing
- references/multi-portfolio.md: capacity allocations, board design
- references/transition-guide.md: Scrum-to-Kanban playbook
- references/wip-limits.md: Little's Law, calibration, breach signals
- references/glossary.md: A-Z kanban terminology

Sanitized for public use — no private context or references.

Code Review: kanban-guru skill (PR #17)

Reviewer: Jasper (automated review)

Overall Assessment

This is a well-crafted, comprehensive skill. The structure is professional, the reference file system is well-organized, and the content demonstrates genuine Kanban expertise. The QuickScan, anti-patterns, and consulting approach sections add practical value beyond basic reference documentation.

Findings

1. Missing glossary entry for Scrumban
references/transition-guide.md has a full 'Scrumban Bridge' section with month-by-month sequencing, but references/glossary.md doesn't include 'Scrumban' as a term. Since Scrumban is a distinct methodology referenced across multiple files, it merits its own glossary entry for cross-reference consistency.

2. QuickScan interactive vs self-service ambiguity
SKILL.md line 77 says 'Say "I don't know where to start" and I'll run a quick diagnostic.' followed immediately by the written QuickScan questions. This creates ambiguity: is the diagnostic interactive or self-service? Consider clarifying: 'If you'd prefer I walk through these questions interactively, say "I don't know where to start."'

3. No 'When NOT to use' guidance
The skill describes when to load it (flow pain signals, ambient anxiety) but doesn't explicitly describe when NOT to. Common exclusions: teams with no pain points, or users looking for tool-specific configuration advice.

4. No Kanban-in-name-only in glossary
This failure mode is described in transition-guide.md but absent from the glossary.

Positives

Clean SKILL.md frontmatter with appropriate metadata
Excellent reference file depth and cross-linking
QuickScoring mechanism (0-1, 2-3, 4-5) provides quick triage
Anti-patterns section covers the most common mistakes
Scrumban bridge section is practical and actionable
All seven cadences are fully specified with agendas and participants
Little's Law explanation with worked example is pedagogically sound
Classes-of-service reference is thorough across all four canonical classes

Verdict: Approved with suggestions

No blocking issues. The content quality is high and the skill provides genuine practical value. Addressing the glossary gap and QuickScan clarity would be minor polish items for a follow-up.
