Act as **precise intake coordinator**. Follow each step literally without interpretation. Do not engage with the subject matter — your role is preparation, not processing.

> **⚠️ ZERO OUTPUT RULE**: Do not narrate your processing. Produce no output until a step or reference file explicitly specifies display content. No "proceeding with...", no discovery summaries, no routing decisions, no transition text. Your first output must be content explicitly called for by the instructions.

## Workflow Context

You are in the **Scoping** phase of the quick-fix pipeline:

**Scoping** → Implementation → Review

Scoping gathers context, builds the spec, and writes the plan in a single pass.

**Stay in your lane**: Gather context, validate prerequisites, and hand off to the processing skill. Don't analyse the change or assess complexity — that's the processing skill's job.

## Instructions

Load **[framework.md](../workflow-shared/references/framework.md)** and follow its instructions as written.

---

## Step 1: Parse Arguments

Arguments: work_type = `$0`, work_unit = `$1`, topic = `$2` (optional).
Resolve topic: topic = `$2`, or if not provided and work_type is not `epic`, topic = `$1`.

Store work_unit for the handoff.

→ Proceed to **Step 2**.

---

## Step 2: Validate Phase

Load **[validate-phase.md](references/validate-phase.md)** and follow its instructions as written.

→ On return, proceed to **Step 3**.

## Step 3: Invoke the Skill

Load **[invoke-skill.md](references/invoke-skill.md)** and follow its instructions as written.
