Should I run? (decision gate)

Before starting Phase 1, check whether aggregation is actually needed:

Situation	Action
`workspace/inputs/idea.md` and `workspace/inputs/experimental_log.md` both exist and are non-empty	Skip this skill entirely. Proceed directly to `paper-orchestra`.
Either file is missing or empty, and the user provided a directory path	Run this skill with that directory as `--search-roots`.
Either file is missing or empty, and no directory was provided	Scan cwd and `~` by default; show the discovery summary to the user before continuing.
The inputs exist but look thin (e.g. idea.md has < 5 lines, no numeric data in experimental_log.md)	Ask the user whether to supplement with aggregation or proceed as-is.

The skill is intentionally a pre-pass — it is cheap to skip and should only run when the structured inputs don't already exist.
