| description | Building something new from scratch. Asks what you want, plans it, then offers to build it |

<runtime_note>
Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent — vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API.

**Flags:**
- `--auto` — Automatic mode. After config questions, runs research → requirements → roadmap without further interaction. Expects idea document via @ reference.
Initialize a new project through unified flow: questioning → research (optional) → requirements → roadmap.
Creates:
.planning/PROJECT.md — project context
.planning/config.json — workflow preferences
.planning/research/ — domain research (optional)
.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md — scoped requirements
.planning/ROADMAP.md — phase structure
.planning/STATE.md — project memory
After this command: it asks whether to build it now or one step at a time. "Build it now" hands
off to /ferrox-progress --next --auto and needs nothing further from you. "One step at a time"
ends on /ferrox-discuss-phase 1.
Do not print a different next step here. This line and workflows/new-project.md previously
disagreed, which is 2 contradictory next steps inside 1 command.
