Refinement Loop

STARTER_CHARACTER = 🔄

Iterative refinement through file artifacts. Each pass removes one layer of noise, revealing the next.

Setup

Ensure playground/ exists and is in .gitignore. All iteration files go there.

Process

1. Clarify Goal (if the user hasn't defined it for you already earlier in the conversation)

Ask the user:

• What are you refining and what is the goal of refinement?
• Derive a short tag that we'll use as filename for iterating: {goal}-{subject} (e.g., gist-nullables, simplify-api, distill-auth-docs)

2. Capture Starting Point
