Create a chapter outline using the outliner agent.

## What This Does

1. Reads existing architecture
2. Spawns the outliner agent
3. Breaks story into chapters with:
   - Chapter purposes
   - POV assignments
   - Scene beats (Goal → Conflict → Disaster)
   - Word count targets
   - Pacing notes

## Usage

```
/outline                   # Create outline from architecture
/outline book 2            # Outline specific book in series
/outline revise            # Revise existing outline
```

If arguments provided: $ARGUMENTS
