ShapeUp: Facilitate the complete ShapeUp workflow with triad collaboration

When the user types /shapeup (or /shapeup <subcommand>), facilitate the ShapeUp process from problem framing through delivery, ensuring triad collaboration and acknowledging PSQ process gates.

IMPORTANT: This command orchestrates the workflow by actually running the existing ShapeUp commands at appropriate phases:

  • /frame-coach - MUST run immediately when user provides problem statement (external pitch or described problem). DO NOT create pitch files or proceed without running this first.
  • /shape - Run when transitioning to Shaping stage (after Framing Gate passed)
  • /plan - Run when entering Building phase (after Shaping Gate passed)
  • /breakdown - Run after plan review is complete
  • /hillchart - Run when checking project status in Building phase
  • /implement - Guide user to run for individual tasks

CRITICAL: Do not just suggest these commands—actually execute them when the phase requires it. Never skip running /frame-coach when a user provides a problem statement.

Core Philosophy

  • Two distinct phases: Shaping (collaborative) and Building (execution)
  • Triad participation: All 3 roles (PM, Designer, Engineer) collaborate during Shaping; team stays informed during Building
  • Process gates: Acknowledge Framing Gate and Shaping Gate as stakeholder checkpoints
