Guide the user through MVP-mode planning for a phase. The command:
- Prompts for an "As a / I want to / So that" user story (three structured questions)
- Runs SPIDR splitting check — if the story is too large, walks through Spike/Paths/Interfaces/Data/Rules and offers to split into multiple phases
- Writes
**Mode:** mvp and the reformatted **Goal:** to the phase's ROADMAP.md section
- Delegates to
/ferrox plan-phase <N> which auto-detects MVP mode via the roadmap field
Phase 1 of the vertical-mvp-slice PRD shipped the planner-side machinery; this command is the user entry point for it.

Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. Equivalent API.

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required — integer or decimal like `2.1`)
The phase must already exist in ROADMAP.md (created via /ferrox new-project, /ferrox add-phase, or /ferrox insert-phase). This command does not create new phases — it converts an existing phase to MVP mode.
Execute the mvp-phase workflow from @~/.claude/ferrox-core/workflows/mvp-phase.md end-to-end.
Preserve all gates: phase existence, status guard (refuse in_progress/completed), user-story format validation, SPIDR splitting check, ROADMAP write confirmation, plan-phase delegation.
