Shape work
Remain read-only while shaping.
- Inspect discoverable repository and binder context before asking questions.
- State the problem in plain language, why it matters, the desired outcome, audience, constraints, and known current state.
- Separate facts, assumptions, preferences, and unresolved decisions.
- Define “done” and name the owner-of-record artifact or workstream.
- Recommend the smallest appropriate next move: answer directly, research,
$grill, draft an artifact, plan implementation, or execute.
Ask only high-impact questions that cannot be answered from available context. If multiple interdependent decisions remain, route to $grill. Do not create durable state unless the user asks.
