Create Spike

Investigate a problem, map it to the codebase, and produce a structured GitHub issue ready for build-from-issue.

A spike is an exploratory investigation. The user has a vague idea — a feature they want, a bug they've noticed, a performance concern — but hasn't mapped it to code, assessed feasibility, or structured it as a buildable issue. This skill does that mapping.

Prerequisites
