name	consolidate
description	Organizes a messy WIP/Storm Session folder into a structured Abstract and Table of Contents. Auto-triggers on "consolidate this", "organize the wip", or "create a brief".

Consolidate — WIP Organization

Keep work safely quarantined in `wip/` while preventing it from becoming an unmanageable mess. Generates a `BRIEF.md` within the `wip//` folder to act as an abstract, scope definition, and Table of Contents for the scratchpad.

Triggers

• User says "consolidate this wip", "organize this", or "make a brief".
• A wip/ directory accumulates more than 5 files or becomes difficult to navigate.

Process

1. Scan the WIP: Analyze wip/<topic>/discussion.md, context.md, and all files in scratch/.
2. Synthesize: Extract the core problem statement, the decided scope, and catalog the existing files.
3. Generate Brief: Create or update wip/<topic>/BRIEF.md using the template below.
4. Clean up: Offer to archive or delete dead-end scratch files that are no longer relevant to the consolidated brief.

Template: wip/<topic>/BRIEF.md
