Ask Navigator

Ask-navigator is the shipyard's navigator: it takes an effort wrapped in fog — the way from here to the destination isn't visible yet — and charts it as a map of decision tickets on the repo's issue tracker, then works the frontier one ticket per session until the route is clear. It produces decisions, never deliverables: when the way is clear it hands off, it doesn't build. Delivery belongs to /oh-my-claudecode:launch.

The role contract. The captain (the human) signs the destination (W1) and the chart (W2); the navigator drafts everything else and never answers a question that belongs to the captain — a grilling session in which the agent answers its own questions has broken the role, not just the process. Facts are the navigator's job; decisions are the captain's.

Fog test. An effort has fog when either answer is no:

1. Q1 — Can the destination be stated in one sentence: the spec, decision, or change this effort is finding its way to?
2. Q2 — Can the first three decisions be stated precisely right now, even though none of them can be answered yet?

Both yes → no map is needed; run /oh-my-claudecode:launch (its fog gate sends efforts here only when an answer is no). Either no → chart first. ask-navigator is also reachable directly: invoke it with a loose idea, with residual questions handed over by launch's fog gate, or with no argument to continue the open map.

Map home

The map is a single issue labelled navigator:map on the repo's issue tracker; its decision tickets are child issues of the map. The tracker should have been recorded by /oh-my-claudecode:drydock; if none was recorded, ask once (GitHub / GitLab / local markdown) and remember the answer inside the map's Notes.

• Tracker-backed (GitHub, GitLab, or recorded tracker): one map issue, child issues per ticket, native blocking/sub-issue relationships. Concurrent sessions and the tracker's own UI render the frontier — the map lives where humans already look. Create the navigator:map label if the tracker doesn't have it yet; ticket types live in the ticket body, not in labels.
• Local markdown fallback: .omc/wayfinder/<map-slug>/map.md plus decisions/NN-<slug>.md, one file per ticket, numbered in dependency order. Local mode has no concurrent-claim guarantee: it is single-driver by convention, stated once in the map's Notes.
