Pareto 

Cuts a bloated list to the five that matter and kills the rest with named reasons.

Skill description

Takes a list you already have and returns the five items that matter, a kill list with one named reason each, and the hidden assumption that bloated it. No tiers, no scoring, no "later" bucket.

Use cases
01

Founder cutting a Q3 roadmap: 23 items chasing 5 engineers becomes 5 keeps, a named kill list, and the assumption that every customer request weighs the same.

02

Content lead pruning an editorial backlog: 40 ideas and a team of two becomes 5 pillar pieces, after the data kills "more posts equals more reach."

03

Hiring manager triaging the slate: 12 open roles on a budget for 4, with the six that quietly serve a bet the company already dropped surfaced and cut.
