Structure work into plans and Beads. Three modes: plan from brainstorm, plan from scratch, or create Beads from existing plan.
Execute a single task with Pathfinder/Builder/Inspector crew. Self-fetches work from Beads.
Select feature, select mode, delegate to execution skill.
HOUSTON spawns Pathfinder, Builder, Inspector per task. Best for medium features (4-10 tasks).
Launch ralph.sh in background. Lightweight mode (default) or full Pod crew (--pod). Best for large features (10+ tasks).
Explore ideas through conversation. HOUSTON asks questions, has opinions, and suggests background agents when investigation would help.
