Use when the meta-builder routes to kind=discipline. Generates a discipline spell with the rule, excuses table, warning signs, and hard gates.
Use when the user wants to capture a repeatable task as a reusable spell, or asks "how do I build a workflow / skill / framework for X"
Use when the meta-builder routes to kind=subagent. Generates a spell that dispatches one or more subagents to do work in parallel or in isolation.
Use when the meta-builder routes to kind=workflow. Generates a workflow spell with explicit stages, checkpoints, and loop-back conditions.
Use when composing multiple spells into a chain that runs end-to-end (e.g. brainstorm -> plan -> execute -> verify).
Use when browsing what spells are available - bundled seeds, your personal library, or both. Filter by kind, audience, or update status.

Turns "this problem is too big" into a one-page problem statement plus a list of subproblems sized so you can start work on the smallest one today.
This is a workflow.
Re-write the problem as one sentence with three parts: observed (what is happening), desired (what should be happening), gap (the difference).
Example: "Onboarding takes new users 14 days to reach activation; we want under 3 days; current funnel drops 60% on day 2."
What are the axes along which the problem could be split? Common axes: by user segment, by time/lifecycle, by component, by cause type, by responsibility, by cost.
Pick 1-2 axes that look most productive.
Along the chosen axes, list 3-7 subproblems. Each subproblem should be:
Of the subproblems, which can you start today with the inputs you have? That's your first move. Anything else is queued.
Read the breakdown back: does solving the subproblems together solve the original? If not, the decomposition missed something. Loop back.
Return to Stage 2 if Stage 5 reveals the breakdown doesn't reconstitute the original problem.
