Orchestrates standalone releases from already-landed work: release readiness, version selection, changelog curation, release commit, tag, GitHub Release, install verification, and post-release follow-up. Use when the user says "cut a release," "publish a version," "release from main," or asks whether enough landed work should become a release. Not for reviewing or merging a PR (use ship).
Shapes messy input into a bounded, reviewable Change under docs/changes/YYYYMMDD-slug/, validated by loaf change check. Runs a fog-routed narrowing protocol — gather context, an optional blindspot pass, grilling for known unknowns, reaction artifacts for unknown-knowns — decomposes Implementation Units ordered by likelihood-of-change, runs a critique gate, and offers an opt-in draft PR. Use when the user asks "shape this," "turn this into a Change," or an idea has accumulated enough constraints to bound. Recognizes journal entries, sparks, ideas, brainstorms, Linear issues, PR conversations, and plain conversation as input. Produces a Change, never a numbered spec or task file. Not for quick capture (use idea) or open-ended divergent thinking before scope exists (use brainstorm).
