+# Model Profiles
+
+Model profiles control which Claude model each EZ Agents agent uses. This allows balancing quality vs token spend.
+
+## Profile Definitions
+
+| Agent | `quality` | `balanced` | `budget` |
+|-------|-----------|------------|----------|
+| ez-planner | opus | opus | sonnet |
+| ez-roadmapper | opus | sonnet | sonnet |
+| ez-executor | opus | sonnet | sonnet |
+| ez-phase-researcher | opus | sonnet | haiku |
+| ez-project-researcher | opus | sonnet | haiku |
+| ez-research-synthesizer | sonnet | sonnet | haiku |
+| ez-debugger | opus | sonnet | sonnet |
+| ez-codebase-mapper | sonnet | haiku | haiku |
+| ez-verifier | sonnet | sonnet | haiku |
+| ez-plan-checker | sonnet | sonnet | haiku |
+| ez-integration-checker | sonnet | sonnet | haiku |
+| ez-nyquist-auditor | sonnet | sonnet | haiku |
+
+## Profile Philosophy
+
+**quality** - Maximum reasoning power
+- Opus for all decision-making agents
+- Sonnet for read-only verification
+- Use when: quota available, critical architecture work
+
+**balanced** (default) - Smart allocation
+- Opus only for planning (where architecture decisions happen)
+- Sonnet for execution and research (follows explicit instructions)
+- Sonnet for verification (needs reasoning, not just pattern matching)
+- Use when: normal development, good balance of quality and cost
+
+**budget** - Minimal Opus usage
+- Sonnet for anything that writes code
+- Haiku for research and verification
+- Use when: conserving quota, high-volume work, less critical phases
+
+## Resolution Logic
+
+Orchestrators resolve model before spawning:
+
+```
+1. Read .planning/config.json
+2. Check model_overrides for agent-specific override
+3. If no override, look up agent in profile table
+4. Pass model parameter to Task call
+```
+
+## Per-Agent Overrides
+
+Override specific agents without changing the entire profile:
+
+```json
+{
+  "model_profile": "balanced",
+  "model_overrides": {
+    "ez-executor": "opus",
+    "ez-planner": "haiku"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Overrides take precedence over the profile. Valid values: `opus`, `sonnet`, `haiku`.
+
+## Switching Profiles
+
+Runtime: `/ez:set-profile <profile>`
+
+Per-project default: Set in `.planning/config.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "model_profile": "balanced"
+}
+```
+
+## Design Rationale
+
+**Why Opus for ez-planner?**
+Planning involves architecture decisions, goal decomposition, and task design. This is where model quality has the highest impact.
+
+**Why Sonnet for ez-executor?**
+Executors follow explicit PLAN.md instructions. The plan already contains the reasoning; execution is implementation.
+
+**Why Sonnet (not Haiku) for verifiers in balanced?**
+Verification requires goal-backward reasoning - checking if code *delivers* what the phase promised, not just pattern matching. Sonnet handles this well; Haiku may miss subtle gaps.
+
+**Why Haiku for ez-codebase-mapper?**
+Read-only exploration and pattern extraction. No reasoning required, just structured output from file contents.
+
+**Why `inherit` instead of passing `opus` directly?**
+Claude Code's `"opus"` alias maps to a specific model version. Organizations may block older opus versions while allowing newer ones. EZ Agents returns `"inherit"` for opus-tier agents, causing them to use whatever opus version the user has configured in their session. This avoids version conflicts and silent fallbacks to Sonnet.

+# Phase Argument Parsing
+
+Parse and normalize phase arguments for commands that operate on phases.
+
+## Extraction
+
+From `$ARGUMENTS`:
+- Extract phase number (first numeric argument)
+- Extract flags (prefixed with `--`)
+- Remaining text is description (for insert/add commands)
+
+## Using ez-tools
+
+The `find-phase` command handles normalization and validation in one step:
+
+```bash
+PHASE_INFO=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" find-phase "${PHASE}")
+```
+
+Returns JSON with:
+- `found`: true/false
+- `directory`: Full path to phase directory
+- `phase_number`: Normalized number (e.g., "06", "06.1")
+- `phase_name`: Name portion (e.g., "foundation")
+- `plans`: Array of PLAN.md files
+- `summaries`: Array of SUMMARY.md files
+
+## Manual Normalization (Legacy)
+
+Zero-pad integer phases to 2 digits. Preserve decimal suffixes.
+
+```bash
+# Normalize phase number
+if [[ "$PHASE" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
+  # Integer: 8 → 08
+  PHASE=$(printf "%02d" "$PHASE")
+elif [[ "$PHASE" =~ ^([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)$ ]]; then
+  # Decimal: 2.1 → 02.1
+  PHASE=$(printf "%02d.%s" "${BASH_REMATCH[1]}" "${BASH_REMATCH[2]}")
+fi
+```
+
+## Validation
+
+Use `roadmap get-phase` to validate phase exists:
+
+```bash
+PHASE_CHECK=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" roadmap get-phase "${PHASE}")
+if [ "$(printf '%s\n' "$PHASE_CHECK" | jq -r '.found')" = "false" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: Phase ${PHASE} not found in roadmap"
+  exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+## Directory Lookup
+
+Use `find-phase` for directory lookup:
+
+```bash
+PHASE_DIR=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" find-phase "${PHASE}" --raw)
+```

+Configuration options for `.planning/` directory behavior.
+
+<config_schema>
+```json
+"planning": {
+  "commit_docs": true,
+  "search_gitignored": false
+},
+"git": {
+  "branching_strategy": "none",
+  "phase_branch_template": "ez/phase-{phase}-{slug}",
+  "milestone_branch_template": "ez/{milestone}-{slug}"
+}
+```
+
+| Option | Default | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `commit_docs` | `true` | Whether to commit planning artifacts to git |
+| `search_gitignored` | `false` | Add `--no-ignore` to broad rg searches |
+| `git.branching_strategy` | `"none"` | Git branching approach: `"none"`, `"phase"`, or `"milestone"` |
+| `git.phase_branch_template` | `"ez/phase-{phase}-{slug}"` | Branch template for phase strategy |
+| `git.milestone_branch_template` | `"ez/{milestone}-{slug}"` | Branch template for milestone strategy |
+</config_schema>
+
+<commit_docs_behavior>
+
+**When `commit_docs: true` (default):**
+- Planning files committed normally
+- SUMMARY.md, STATE.md, ROADMAP.md tracked in git
+- Full history of planning decisions preserved
+
+**When `commit_docs: false`:**
+- Skip all `git add`/`git commit` for `.planning/` files
+- User must add `.planning/` to `.gitignore`
+- Useful for: OSS contributions, client projects, keeping planning private
+
+**Using ez-tools.cjs (preferred):**
+
+```bash
+# Commit with automatic commit_docs + gitignore checks:
+node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" commit "docs: update state" --files .planning/STATE.md
+
+# Load config via state load (returns JSON):
+INIT=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" state load)
+if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
+# commit_docs is available in the JSON output
+
+# Or use init commands which include commit_docs:
+INIT=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" init execute-phase "1")
+if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
+# commit_docs is included in all init command outputs
+```
+
+**Auto-detection:** If `.planning/` is gitignored, `commit_docs` is automatically `false` regardless of config.json. This prevents git errors when users have `.planning/` in `.gitignore`.
+
+**Commit via CLI (handles checks automatically):**
+
+```bash
+node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" commit "docs: update state" --files .planning/STATE.md
+```
+
+The CLI checks `commit_docs` config and gitignore status internally — no manual conditionals needed.
+
+</commit_docs_behavior>
+
+<search_behavior>
+
+**When `search_gitignored: false` (default):**
+- Standard rg behavior (respects .gitignore)
+- Direct path searches work: `rg "pattern" .planning/` finds files
+- Broad searches skip gitignored: `rg "pattern"` skips `.planning/`
+
+**When `search_gitignored: true`:**
+- Add `--no-ignore` to broad rg searches that should include `.planning/`
+- Only needed when searching entire repo and expecting `.planning/` matches
+
+**Note:** Most EZ Agents operations use direct file reads or explicit paths, which work regardless of gitignore status.
+
+</search_behavior>
+
+<setup_uncommitted_mode>
+
+To use uncommitted mode:
+
+1. **Set config:**
+   ```json
+   "planning": {
+     "commit_docs": false,
+     "search_gitignored": true
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Add to .gitignore:**
+   ```
+   .planning/
+   ```
+
+3. **Existing tracked files:** If `.planning/` was previously tracked:
+   ```bash
+   git rm -r --cached .planning/
+   git commit -m "chore: stop tracking planning docs"
+   ```
+
+4. **Branch merges:** When using `branching_strategy: phase` or `milestone`, the `complete-milestone` workflow automatically strips `.planning/` files from staging before merge commits when `commit_docs: false`.
+
+</setup_uncommitted_mode>
+
+<branching_strategy_behavior>
+
+**Branching Strategies:**
+
+| Strategy | When branch created | Branch scope | Merge point |
+|----------|---------------------|--------------|-------------|
+| `none` | Never | N/A | N/A |
+| `phase` | At `execute-phase` start | Single phase | User merges after phase |
+| `milestone` | At first `execute-phase` of milestone | Entire milestone | At `complete-milestone` |
+
+**When `git.branching_strategy: "none"` (default):**
+- All work commits to current branch
+- Standard EZ Agents behavior
+
+**When `git.branching_strategy: "phase"`:**
+- `execute-phase` creates/switches to a branch before execution
+- Branch name from `phase_branch_template` (e.g., `ez/phase-03-authentication`)
+- All plan commits go to that branch
+- User merges branches manually after phase completion
+- `complete-milestone` offers to merge all phase branches
+
+**When `git.branching_strategy: "milestone"`:**
+- First `execute-phase` of milestone creates the milestone branch
+- Branch name from `milestone_branch_template` (e.g., `ez/v1.0-mvp`)
+- All phases in milestone commit to same branch
+- `complete-milestone` offers to merge milestone branch to main
+
+**Template variables:**
+
+| Variable | Available in | Description |
+|----------|--------------|-------------|
+| `{phase}` | phase_branch_template | Zero-padded phase number (e.g., "03") |
+| `{slug}` | Both | Lowercase, hyphenated name |
+| `{milestone}` | milestone_branch_template | Milestone version (e.g., "v1.0") |
+
+**Checking the config:**
+
+Use `init execute-phase` which returns all config as JSON:
+```bash
+INIT=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" init execute-phase "1")
+if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
+# JSON output includes: branching_strategy, phase_branch_template, milestone_branch_template
+```
+
+Or use `state load` for the config values:
+```bash
+INIT=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" state load)
+if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
+# Parse branching_strategy, phase_branch_template, milestone_branch_template from JSON
+```
+
+**Branch creation:**
+
+```bash
+# For phase strategy
+if [ "$BRANCHING_STRATEGY" = "phase" ]; then
+  PHASE_SLUG=$(echo "$PHASE_NAME" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed 's/[^a-z0-9]/-/g' | sed 's/--*/-/g' | sed 's/^-//;s/-$//')
+  BRANCH_NAME=$(echo "$PHASE_BRANCH_TEMPLATE" | sed "s/{phase}/$PADDED_PHASE/g" | sed "s/{slug}/$PHASE_SLUG/g")
+  git checkout -b "$BRANCH_NAME" 2>/dev/null || git checkout "$BRANCH_NAME"
+fi
+
+# For milestone strategy
+if [ "$BRANCHING_STRATEGY" = "milestone" ]; then
+  MILESTONE_SLUG=$(echo "$MILESTONE_NAME" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed 's/[^a-z0-9]/-/g' | sed 's/--*/-/g' | sed 's/^-//;s/-$//')
+  BRANCH_NAME=$(echo "$MILESTONE_BRANCH_TEMPLATE" | sed "s/{milestone}/$MILESTONE_VERSION/g" | sed "s/{slug}/$MILESTONE_SLUG/g")
+  git checkout -b "$BRANCH_NAME" 2>/dev/null || git checkout "$BRANCH_NAME"
+fi
+```
+
+**Merge options at complete-milestone:**
+
+| Option | Git command | Result |
+|--------|-------------|--------|
+| Squash merge (recommended) | `git merge --squash` | Single clean commit per branch |
+| Merge with history | `git merge --no-ff` | Preserves all individual commits |
+| Delete without merging | `git branch -D` | Discard branch work |
+| Keep branches | (none) | Manual handling later |
+
+Squash merge is recommended — keeps main branch history clean while preserving the full development history in the branch (until deleted).
+
+**Use cases:**
+
+| Strategy | Best for |
+|----------|----------|
+| `none` | Solo development, simple projects |
+| `phase` | Code review per phase, granular rollback, team collaboration |
+| `milestone` | Release branches, staging environments, PR per version |
+

+
+Project initialization is dream extraction, not requirements gathering. You're helping the user discover and articulate what they want to build. This isn't a contract negotiation — it's collaborative thinking.
+
+<philosophy>
+
+**You are a thinking partner, not an interviewer.**
+
+The user often has a fuzzy idea. Your job is to help them sharpen it. Ask questions that make them think "oh, I hadn't considered that" or "yes, that's exactly what I mean."
+
+Don't interrogate. Collaborate. Don't follow a script. Follow the thread.
+
+</philosophy>
+
+<the_goal>
+
+By the end of questioning, you need enough clarity to write a PROJECT.md that downstream phases can act on:
+
+- **Research** needs: what domain to research, what the user already knows, what unknowns exist
+- **Requirements** needs: clear enough vision to scope v1 features
+- **Roadmap** needs: clear enough vision to decompose into phases, what "done" looks like
+- **plan-phase** needs: specific requirements to break into tasks, context for implementation choices
+- **execute-phase** needs: success criteria to verify against, the "why" behind requirements
+
+A vague PROJECT.md forces every downstream phase to guess. The cost compounds.
+
+</the_goal>
+
+<how_to_question>
+
+**Start open.** Let them dump their mental model. Don't interrupt with structure.
+
+**Follow energy.** Whatever they emphasized, dig into that. What excited them? What problem sparked this?
+
+**Challenge vagueness.** Never accept fuzzy answers. "Good" means what? "Users" means who? "Simple" means how?
+
+**Make the abstract concrete.** "Walk me through using this." "What does that actually look like?"
+
+**Clarify ambiguity.** "When you say Z, do you mean A or B?" "You mentioned X — tell me more."
+
+**Know when to stop.** When you understand what they want, why they want it, who it's for, and what done looks like — offer to proceed.
+
+</how_to_question>
+
+<question_types>
+
+Use these as inspiration, not a checklist. Pick what's relevant to the thread.
+
+**Motivation — why this exists:**
+- "What prompted this?"
+- "What are you doing today that this replaces?"
+- "What would you do if this existed?"
+
+**Concreteness — what it actually is:**
+- "Walk me through using this"
+- "You said X — what does that actually look like?"
+- "Give me an example"
+
+**Clarification — what they mean:**
+- "When you say Z, do you mean A or B?"
+- "You mentioned X — tell me more about that"
+
+**Success — how you'll know it's working:**
+- "How will you know this is working?"
+- "What does done look like?"
+
+</question_types>
+
+<using_askuserquestion>
+
+Use AskUserQuestion to help users think by presenting concrete options to react to.
+
+**Good options:**
+- Interpretations of what they might mean
+- Specific examples to confirm or deny
+- Concrete choices that reveal priorities
+
+**Bad options:**
+- Generic categories ("Technical", "Business", "Other")
+- Leading options that presume an answer
+- Too many options (2-4 is ideal)
+- Headers longer than 12 characters (hard limit — validation will reject them)
+
+**Example — vague answer:**
+User says "it should be fast"
+
+- header: "Fast"
+- question: "Fast how?"
+- options: ["Sub-second response", "Handles large datasets", "Quick to build", "Let me explain"]
+
+**Example — following a thread:**
+User mentions "frustrated with current tools"
+
+- header: "Frustration"
+- question: "What specifically frustrates you?"
+- options: ["Too many clicks", "Missing features", "Unreliable", "Let me explain"]
+
+**Tip for users — modifying an option:**
+Users who want a slightly modified version of an option can select "Other" and reference the option by number: `#1 but for finger joints only` or `#2 with pagination disabled`. This avoids retyping the full option text.
+
+</using_askuserquestion>
+
+<freeform_rule>
+
+**When the user wants to explain freely, STOP using AskUserQuestion.**
+
+If a user selects "Other" and their response signals they want to describe something in their own words (e.g., "let me describe it", "I'll explain", "something else", or any open-ended reply that isn't choosing/modifying an existing option), you MUST:
+
+1. **Ask your follow-up as plain text** — NOT via AskUserQuestion
+2. **Wait for them to type at the normal prompt**
+3. **Resume AskUserQuestion** only after processing their freeform response
+
+The same applies if YOU include a freeform-indicating option (like "Let me explain" or "Describe in detail") and the user selects it.
+
+**Wrong:** User says "let me describe it" → AskUserQuestion("What feature?", ["Feature A", "Feature B", "Describe in detail"])
+**Right:** User says "let me describe it" → "Go ahead — what are you thinking?"
+
+</freeform_rule>
+
+<context_checklist>
+
+Use this as a **background checklist**, not a conversation structure. Check these mentally as you go. If gaps remain, weave questions naturally.
+
+- [ ] What they're building (concrete enough to explain to a stranger)
+- [ ] Why it needs to exist (the problem or desire driving it)
+- [ ] Who it's for (even if just themselves)
+- [ ] What "done" looks like (observable outcomes)
+
+Four things. If they volunteer more, capture it.
+
+</context_checklist>
+
+<decision_gate>
+
+When you could write a clear PROJECT.md, offer to proceed:
+
+- header: "Ready?"
+- question: "I think I understand what you're after. Ready to create PROJECT.md?"
+- options:
+  - "Create PROJECT.md" — Let's move forward
+  - "Keep exploring" — I want to share more / ask me more
+
+If "Keep exploring" — ask what they want to add or identify gaps and probe naturally.
+
+Loop until "Create PROJECT.md" selected.
+
+</decision_gate>
+
+<anti_patterns>
+
+- **Checklist walking** — Going through domains regardless of what they said
+- **Canned questions** — "What's your core value?" "What's out of scope?" regardless of context
+- **Corporate speak** — "What are your success criteria?" "Who are your stakeholders?"
+- **Interrogation** — Firing questions without building on answers
+- **Rushing** — Minimizing questions to get to "the work"
+- **Shallow acceptance** — Taking vague answers without probing
+- **Premature constraints** — Asking about tech stack before understanding the idea
+- **User skills** — NEVER ask about user's technical experience. Claude builds.
