Survey

Use this skill when the job is discovering the landscape before committing to a plan.

survey stays portable by doing four things well:

1. freeze one bounded research question,
2. run the same 4 research lanes every time,
3. save reusable .survey/{slug}/ artifacts with fixed headings,
4. validate the artifact contract before handing off to planning or execution.
