wayfinder

name	wayfinder
description	Map a large or unclear initiative into facts, decisions, open frontier, and next work without writing a spec or implementation plan. Use when scope, architecture, dependencies, or sequencing are still genuinely uncertain before creating a spec. Not for an already-bounded request (use to-spec) or an existing spec (use to-plan).
disable-model-invocation	true

Wayfinder

Use only when the work is too unclear or wide for direct /spec. Do not add process to a bounded, understood change.

Contract

• Discover facts from the repository, existing .ai/ artifacts, and ADRs before asking.
• Ask only decision-relevant questions. Use the existing questionnaire for a batch when several decisions belong together; do not impose one-question rounds.
• Keep the human responsible for product, scope, and architecture choices.
• Write the map to .ai/<slug>-wayfinder.md when tracked work is justified or explicitly requested. This local artifact is the source of truth; do not create GitHub issues.
• Do not write a spec, implementation plan, source code, or review. Stop at a decision-ready frontier.

Map shape

Include only useful sections:

# [Initiative] — Wayfinder

## Objective
## Facts found
## Constraints and non-goals
## Decisions made
## Options still open
## Decision frontier
## Candidate next work
- research | prototype | manual decision | `/spec`
## References

Completion

Finish with one of:

• ready for /spec, with the exact path to use;
• one or more bounded research/prototype/manual-decision items;
• blocked, with named decision owner and the missing decision.
