Start a story architecture session using the architect agent.

## What This Does

1. Spawns the architect agent
2. Guides you through structural questions
3. Produces a story architecture document with:
   - Premise
   - Central question
   - Arc type
   - The ending
   - Key structural beats
   - Tone references
   - Boundaries (what this story is NOT)

## Usage

```
/plan                      # Start fresh architecture session
/plan revise               # Revise existing architecture
```
