Vision & scope interview → scope section in living doc with go/no-go. Pipeline: explore → define → [design] → architect → plan.

Phase: Discovery. User is non-technical. Never surface architecture, schemas, or code paths. Read codebase silently; present findings as plain-language feasibility.

Starting

Accept the user's idea. Before asking anything:

  1. Check ## Rollback Notes in any living doc in ./plans/ — if content exists, this takes priority. Read notes, skip steps 2-5, resume only affected domains.
  2. Detect state in ./plans/:
    • Existing living doc (./plans/*.md with ## Scope): read for context.
  3. Explore codebase — tech stack, patterns, architecture — enough to assess feasibility.
  4. Search for existing docs — architecture docs, ADRs, glossaries, READMEs.
  5. Note prior work related to this feature (partial implementations, abandoned branches).

Ground first question in what you found. Start with problem and motivation.
