Documentation

README

Excerpt

Setup Goal

Turn an idea into a goal package at goals/<slug>/ through structured discovery, user interview, and codebase exploration.

State back what the user wants in your own words. If the conversation already has rich context, summarize it. If the goal is bare or vague, do minimal shallow exploration of the codebase to ground your understanding. Keep it to 2-3 sentences. Wait for the user to confirm or correct before continuing.

Create the goal directory once the slug is clear:

mkdir -p goals/<slug>

Use goals/<slug>/ for both working JSON files and final docs. The JSON files are provenance and iteration state; the markdown files are the human-readable authoritative goal package.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
