Shows available commands with context-aware recommendations. Adapts based on current project state.

When to Run

User seems unsure what to do next.
Proactively after maker:kickoff and after first maker:build.

Workflow

Step 1: Read State

Read .maker/project_state.md if it exists to determine context.

Step 2: Present Commands

## Maker Commands

| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| `/maker:kickoff` | Initialize project context and preferences |
| `/maker:discover` | Interactive product discovery — flesh out what you're building |
| `/maker:research [topic]` | Investigate technology, APIs, competitors, or market |
| `/maker:architect` | Design project structure and record technical decisions |
| `/maker:build` | Generate code from the architecture plan |
| `/maker:status` | See project state, progress, and next steps |
| `/maker:help` | This menu |

Step 3: Contextual Recommendation

Based on project state, add a recommendation section:

No .maker/project_state.md:

### Where to Start
You don't have a project set up yet.
→ `/maker:kickoff` — Let's get started.

Has profile but no product context:

### Recommended Next
→ `/maker:discover` — Let's figure out what you're building.

Has product context but no architecture:

### Recommended Next
→ `/maker:architect` — Product context is ready. Let's plan the technical structure.
→ `/maker:research [topic]` — If you want to investigate a technology or the competitive landscape first.

Has architecture but not built:

### Recommended Next
→ `/maker:build` — Architecture is planned. Ready to generate code.

Fully built:

### Recommended Next
→ Run quality gates (detect commands from `package.json` scripts).
→ `/maker:discover` — Add a new feature or change requirements.
→ `/maker:status` — See the full project state.
