├── approved/
│   └── in-progress/
├── completed/
└── archive/

Generate RFC File
- Convert title to kebab-case: "API Gateway Selection" → "api-gateway-selection"
- Create file: rfcs/draft/RFC-XXXX-<kebab-title>.md
- Use template from skill references
Populate Metadata
- Set rfc_id to new number
- Set title from argument

- Set created and last_updated to today's date
- Leave author for user to fill

Confirm Creation

Created RFC-XXXX: <title>

Location: rfcs/draft/RFC-XXXX-<kebab-title>.md
Status: DRAFT

Next steps:
1. Fill in the Overview and Problem Statement sections
2. Define your Evaluation Criteria before analyzing options
3. Analyze at least 2 options objectively
4. When ready for review: /rfc-status RFC-XXXX --set REVIEW
