description	Create or update Requests for Comment for this repository. Use when the user wants a new feature, subsystem, module, game mechanic, API change, or vendor contribution proposal drafted in `proposals/rfc/` before implementation.

RFC Creator

Overview

Use this skill to draft repository-specific RFCs that follow proposals/rfc/README.md exactly. RFCs are for proposals before implementation, not for settled architectural decisions.

Workflow

1. Read proposals/rfc/README.md and any relevant context from README.md, docs/project-overview.md, and docs/architecture.md.
2. Confirm the change belongs in an RFC:
   • new subsystem, module, or feature
   • significant behavior or API change
   • vendor contribution introducing new interfaces or behavior
3. Determine the RFC filename: NNNN-short-title in lowercase kebab-case (e.g. 0001-minimal-poc).
4. Create a branch named proposal/NNNN-short-title matching the RFC filename exactly before writing any files. Do not proceed without switching to this branch.
5. Create or update proposals/rfc/NNNN-short-title.md on that branch.
6. Use this structure exactly:

# RFC-NNNN: Title

**Status:** draft | under review | accepted | rejected
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Authors:** @handle
**Related:** links to issues, ADRs, or other RFCs

## Summary

## Motivation

## Design

## Open Questions

## Alternatives

Writing Rules

• Keep ## Summary to one clear paragraph.
• Put interfaces, flows, and pseudocode in ## Design when useful.
• Use ## Open Questions to surface unresolved choices instead of hiding them.
• Compare realistic alternatives, not strawmen.
• Keep the proposal consistent with the current architecture unless the RFC explicitly challenges it.

Output

When creating a new RFC:

1. Confirm the active branch is proposal/NNNN-short-title before writing files.
2. Write the RFC file under proposals/rfc/.
3. Update the index table in proposals/rfc/README.md.
4. Call out missing inputs or unresolved dependencies.
5. Remind the author to run /rfc-review before opening the proposal for comment.
