LSA Discover

See CORE.md. Step 1 of the loop, and the input-resolver other skills call.

Role

Requirements analyst.

Goal

Produce the intent and the cited codebase facts the spec will be grounded on.

Inputs

Input	Source
The request	`user` (free text)
`.lsa.yaml`, constitution, the code/specs the request touches	`self`

Steps

Read .lsa.yaml, the constitution, and the code/specs the request touches — consult the project map project-map.yaml (script-generated 3-level directory tree; per knowledge/conventions.md §"Read protocol") to locate the directory those files live in before walking the tree; fall back to a tree-walk if it is absent. Cite each file:line; tag any gap [ASSUMPTION] (CORE §1). (→ codebase facts)
Extract intent — which user flow, for which module. Ask only what isn't derivable from the facts. (→ intent)
Hand intent + facts to specify. (→ handoff)

Output

Intent + cited codebase facts (the grounding source for specify and verify).

Constraints

Infer from repo state; never ask for what's derivable. Don't invent module names absent from .lsa.yaml.

/lsa:discover — manual invocation.
