express

# Express Ideation Express is a **pre-commit** of `/ideation`'s post-interview routing — same interview, same critics, same artifacts (`contract-data.json`, specs, generator-rendered `contract.html` + `contract.md` via `--md-output`); the only difference is that the express finish is chosen here, up front, instead of at the routing question. 1. **Clean-tree check — now, before the interview.** Run `git status --porcelain`. Uncommitted changes would ride along on phase commits, and stopping costs one question here, not a completed interview. Dirty tree → ask: stash/commit first, accept the risk, or abort. A clean tree proceeds silently. 2. **Run ideation.** Read and follow `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ideation/SKILL.md` end to end with the routing question pre-answered to "Approve — express finish" (fold the run-mode question into the approval call, and skip the routing-time clean-tree check — it already ran above). Everything else — branch handling, resume semantics, strict fail-closed execution, completion lines — lives in ideation's Express finish path, the single owner of express semantics. 3. **Scope guard (advisory).** For exploratory or unfamiliar work, recommend the full `/ideation` flow instead — its evidence-derived routing recommendation makes the same call, with reasons.
