| description | Write durable proposal files for significant cross-cutting work needing human approval before implementation. Use when user asks for a proposal, or when Zoo Refactoring, planning, implementation, or review classifies a finding as proposal-worthy. |
Follow .zoo/zoo.md, .zoo/proposals.md if exists.
Write proposal. Do not implement.
Filename: .proposals/YYYYMMDD-slug.md unless overridden. Copy references/proposal-template.md; replace placeholders.
Quality bar: approvable/rejectable/revisable; explicit scope, non-goals, validation, risks, open questions; no small cleanup/current-task work; no silent design decisions.
If in Zoo task, add:
Report > Remaining work: - Proposal: <path> - <finding>
Log: proposal path and current task continues/blocks
Report proposal path, status, finding handled, current-task disposition. Proposal closes finding unless technically blocking.
