Ladder Create

Generate a new phase spec in canonical Ladder format.

When to Use

• User says "create phase," "new phase," "add phase," "ladder create," or "/ladder-create"
• User provides a feature description to turn into a phase spec
• Direct mode: /ladder-create "Add SFTP support"
• Q&A mode: /ladder-create (no argument — will ask questions)

When NOT to Use

• .ladder/OVERVIEW.md doesn't exist → "Run /ladder-init first"
• Spec already exists and needs restructuring → use /ladder-refine
• Spec exists and is ready to implement → use /ladder-execute
