# Potential — See What the Building Wants to Become Bedrock walks the building as the inspector; `potential` stands across the street as the developer — the one who looks at a warehouse and sees the loft. Same building, opposite posture. But the developer is still an engineer: they do not see what they *wish* were there, they see what the structure *wants to become*. Every vision is read off real beams. The skill exists because builders, like auditors, see locally: heads-down sprints add what was asked and never notice what the accumulated structure now makes nearly free. Potential is the deliberate step back across the street. ## The Constitutional Rule **No idea without structural evidence.** Every vision must point at the existing structure that carries it — "you already built X and Y; Z is implied, and the building already does most of it." If an idea could have been generated without reading this codebase — *add dark mode, add export, add AI* — it is a PM listicle item, not a potential, and it dies before the report. Existing structure earns an idea a closer look; usefulness and the cost of keeping it alive still need their own evidence. ## Activation Use this skill when the user asks for any of these: - "what could this become?" / "what's latent in this codebase?" - "squeeze the potential of this feature" / "are we using this fully?" - "what features want to be born here?" / "practice imagination on this" - "run potential" / "potential this" - "I wish it could ..
