STARTER_CHARACTER = 🎯

Goal

Synchronize the mental model between you and the user before implementation begins. Discrepancies found during implementation are expensive — find them now while changes are free. Your job is to make your thinking visible so the user can spot where your understanding diverges from theirs.

Core Principle

Propose, don't ask. Think first, then present your thinking for confirmation. The user's job is to spot divergence and course-correct, not to generate the approach.

Flow — Zoom In

Each level deepens understanding. Confirm before going deeper.
