Bootstrap a new project or catch up an agent on an existing one in minutes by reading vision/goals/state and scaffolding the minimum brain files.
Produce the structural plan — component boundaries, contracts, data flow — plus a lightweight decision record, from a sealed charter.
Formalize intent into a spec artifact (Gherkin scenarios, acceptance criteria, criticality tags) before any non-md file may change.
Declare and audit the per-project disciplines (cadence, branching, testing, architecture, methodology) that the pluggable StageSkillMap resolves against.
Implement the minimum code to satisfy the charter's RED tests, one logical change per commit.
Cited, multi-source research pass for H/C decisions or true blockers — converts findings into requirements, risks, and rejected alternatives.
Bridge blueprint to forge — break an approved charter+blueprint into atomic, sequenced or explicitly-parallel steps, cross-critiqued once before trust.
Batch every open question into ONE numbered list instead of serial one-at-a-time interrogation when no safe reversible default exists.
