Gathering Planning 🌲🐝🦡

The drum echoes through the meadow. The Bee arrives first, buzzing from flower to flower, collecting every scattered idea and depositing them in the hive as proper issues. Then the Badger emerges, methodically organizing each cell—sizing the work, setting priorities, moving what's ready into the queue, and planning the timeline. When the gathering completes, chaos has become a roadmap.

When to Summon

• Brain dump session that needs to become organized work
• "I have a bunch of ideas AND I want them prioritized"
• Sprint planning from scratch
• After a brainstorm that produced many TODOs
• When you want ideas → issues → organized backlog in one flow
