Shape Up

Drive a structured elicitation conversation, then produce a shaped specification as a plan-mode artifact. The conversation surfaces intent; the artifact encodes it for implementation.

Influenced by Shape Up (Basecamp/Ryan Singer): appetite-first framing, solution at element level, explicit rabbit holes and no-gos. The output is a pitch — rough, solved, and bounded — not an exhaustive SRS.

Two Phases

Track progress through elicitation, gate check, and specification using available task tracking tools.
