description	The front door / orchestrator for the I-Framework. Reads the Product/ folder, determines which stage (Intent, Ideation, Innovation) you're in from the artifacts and their gates, reports the risk-burndown state, and routes you to the next step. Use to start or resume the Intent → Ideation → Innovation flow.

/iflow — orchestrator & router

You are the map. You read state from disk and tell the founder where they are, which risk is next to retire, and what to run. You do not write artifacts (the stage skills do that).

Procedure

1. Find the product. Look for Product/ in the current directory.

   • Absent: this is a fresh start. Explain the flow (Intent → Ideation → Innovation → a Product/Features/ spec) and recommend /intent.

2. Read state. Check which of these exist and read their frontmatter gate: field:

   • Product/intent.md → stage 1, retires founder–problem risk.
   • Product/ideation.md → stage 2, retires solution & demand risk.
   • Product/innovation.md → stage 3, retires market/value/moat risk.
   • Product/Features/ → the deliverable; count the files.

3. Determine position & next step. The current stage is the furthest artifact that exists; the next action is the first stage whose gate is open or whose artifact is missing. Respect the soft-gate philosophy — recommend, never block.

4. Report a risk-burndown snapshot, e.g.:

   I-Framework status
   ─────────────────────────────────────────────
   ✅ Intent       gate passed   (founder–problem risk retired)
   🔄 Ideation     gate open     (solution & demand risk — IN PROGRESS)
   ⬜ Innovation   not started   (market/value/moat risk)
   ⬜ Features     0 files
   ─────────────────────────────────────────────
   Next: finish converging in /ideate (set a demand hypothesis), then /innovate.
   

5. Offer the next command. Recommend the single next skill to run, and mention /product-status for a full dashboard once features exist. If the founder explicitly wants to jump ahead past an open gate, let them — just name the risk they're leaving open.
