Choose up to three immediate priorities from competing initiatives. Use when everything is urgent and the customer needs a defensible order with explicit deferrals.
Start a fresh conversation. Replace the highlighted placeholders.
Use prioritize to triage [list of competing initiatives, stakeholder requests, or roadmap items] against [available team capacity and known dependencies], returning a proposed Now/Next/Later allocation with triage scores (Impact, Dependency, Cost of Delay) and a draft for `decisions.md` that explicitly identifies deferred items and pending approvals.

Purpose
Three immediate priorities and explicit deferrals.
Load further references only when the task needs them. Everything linked is included in this skill; no other skill pack is required.
Principles
Work directly from the supplied permitted context. Standalone work does not require an engagement folder or initialization. Record filenames in the method are optional persistence destinations when no engagement is bound.
If called by @fde, reuse its current sanitized packet and scope. Do not restart setup, discovery or questions already answered.
The task context contract controls persistence and authority in both modes. Preserve unknowns and distinguish implementation, verification, deployment and acceptance.
Use the customer's repository instructions and available tools. Report a missing capability or unrun check honestly; do not claim that installing a skill provisions infrastructure.
