+name: trailhead
+description: Start and drive a large project — more than one agent session can hold — as a map of decision tickets on GitHub Issues, resolving one at a time until the way to the destination is clear. Self-contained: map-based onboarding and a discuss→plan→execute→verify engine with atomic commits, with everything — map, discussion, plan, verification — living on the Issues. No dependencies beyond an authenticated gh CLI. Invoke only when the user explicitly runs `/trailhead` (or a `/trailhead:<verb>` command) or asks to chart, adopt, or work a trailhead map — do not auto-invoke for generic planning, project, or task-tracking requests.
+argument-hint: "[new|adopt|work|ticket|inbox|map|config|grill|split|pause|resume|bug|todo|idea|seed|note] [text | ticket]"
+---
+
+A loose idea has arrived, too big for one session: the way from here to the **destination** isn't visible yet. `trailhead` is where the trail begins. It charts the way as a **shared map on GitHub Issues**, then works its **tickets** — one at a time — until the road is clear and the destination reached.
+
+The method fuses two lineages, both as **inspiration** — `trailhead`'s core invokes no other skill and depends on nothing but an authenticated `gh` CLI (the one opt-in exception: `claude.ai/design` mockup mode uses Claude Code's built-in Claude Design, and falls back to disk if it's unavailable):
+- **From Wayfinder — the map.** Question-driven onboarding, the destination named first, the frontier, the fog of war, reference *by name*, one ticket per session.
+- **From GSD — the engine.** Zero-friction capture and the `discuss → plan → execute → verify` cycle with atomic commits that resolves each build ticket *inside* the map.
+
+The techniques those lineages package as separate skills (grilling, TDD, systematic debugging, codebase mapping, code review) are **built in here as inline protocols** — see [Techniques](#techniques). `trailhead` is self-contained.
+
+**Everything lives on the Issues.** No `.planning/`: the map is the parent issue, each ticket is a child issue, and discussion / plan / verification are **comments** on the ticket. The repo holds code only.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Only an **authenticated `gh` CLI** — the tracker is GitHub Issues. Nothing else to install. The subagents `trailhead` spawns (research, codebase-map, review) use the built-in `Agent` tool; every technique is defined inline below.
+
+## Commands
+
+The **first word** of `$ARGUMENTS` is the verb; the rest is the text (or a ticket number). With no verb, `/trailhead` does **smart entry**: it detects the repo state and proposes — no map → offer *chart* or *adopt*; map present → *work* the next frontier ticket.
+
+Every verb is also a **namespaced command** — `/trailhead:new`, `/trailhead:work`, `/trailhead:bug`, … — so typing `/trailhead` lists them all in the picker. They're thin wrappers that delegate here; `/trailhead <verb>` and `/trailhead:<verb>` are equivalent.
+
+**Flow**
+| Command | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `/trailhead` | smart entry — detect and propose |
+| `/trailhead:new [idea]` | chart a new map → Mode 1 |
+| `/trailhead:adopt` | adopt an existing project → Mode 1-bis |
+| `/trailhead:work [ticket]` | work the map: the next frontier ticket, or the one you name → Mode 2 |
+| `/trailhead:inbox [issue]` | triage issues opened by others and integrate the worthwhile ones into the map |
+| `/trailhead:resume [ticket]` | resume a paused ticket: read its latest `PAUSED` checkpoint and continue |
+| `/trailhead:pause [note]` | checkpoint the ticket in play so it can be resumed later (by you or anyone) |
+| `/trailhead:split [ticket]` | split an oversized ticket into children and supersede the original |
+| `/trailhead:ticket <type> <title>` | open one child ticket of the map on the fly (`type` = decision\|research\|prototype\|build\|bug\|task) |
+| `/trailhead:grill [topic]` | run a standalone grilling session on a decision/topic (or a named ticket) |
+| `/trailhead:map` | show the low-res map (destination, decisions, frontier, fog) |
+| `/trailhead:config [get\|set …]` | show the effective config (global + project), or set a key |
+
+**Capture** — zero friction, one confirmation line, resolves nothing (→ Mode 3):
+| Command | Destination |
+|---|---|
+| `/trailhead:bug [--of <ticket>] <text>` | a `trailhead:bug` ticket on the frontier; `--of` records it as a `Regression of: <ticket>` |
+| `/trailhead:todo <text>` | a small ticket on the frontier — work you *will* do |
+| `/trailhead:idea <text>` | a line in *Not yet specified* (the fog); a ticket only if already razor-sharp |
+| `/trailhead:seed <text>` | a blocked ticket with its trigger noted in `## Blocked by` |
+| `/trailhead:note <text>` | a verbatim note (fog; outside a project → `$HOME/.claude/notes/`) |
+
+Missing text in a capture → ask for the line. Unrecognised verb → treat the whole string as `idea`.
+
+**Idea vs todo:** `idea` is a maybe-later thought (fog by default, graduates when the frontier reaches it); `todo` is defined work you will do (born a ticket). The test stays Wayfinder's: can you *phrase* the question precisely now? Yes → ticket, no → fog.
+
+## Principles
+
+- **Execution inside the map (default).** Unlike pure Wayfinder ("plan, don't do"), here the map carries **construction** within it: after the decision tickets, build tickets graduate from the fog and are **executed** as children of the map. The destination is the **working** artifact (a deployed app), not a spec document — the spec is a waypoint. *Override:* a project that must stop at the spec declares it in the map's `## Notes` (that wins over this default).
+- **Refer by name.** Every map and ticket is an issue, so it has a **title**. In everything the human reads, refer by name, never by a bare `#number`. A wall of `#42, #43, #44` is illegible; names read at a glance. The id and URL don't vanish — a name wraps its link — but they ride *inside* the name.
+- **One ticket per session — hard rule.** Resolve **at most one** ticket per session; once one is resolved, do **not** start a second — end the session instead. The only exceptions: `research` tickets (AFK, run in parallel) and `capture` operations (they resolve nothing). On resolving a ticket, close the session with the **[Session handoff](#session-handoff)** ritual.
+- **Commit straight to `main`.** Build tickets commit straight to `main`, conventional commits, no feature branch/PR unless explicitly requested. Never `Co-Authored-By`.
+
+## Session handoff
+
+Resolving a ticket **ends the session** — one ticket per session is a hard rule (see [Principles](#principles)). So every resolution closes the same way. After the resolution comment + `gh issue close` + the `Decisions so far` update, **always** sign off with, in order:
+
+1. **A one-line confirmation** the ticket is resolved, by name (not a bare `#number`).
+2. **An invitation to `/clear`** — start the next ticket with clean context. State it **every time**, not only when context is heavy.
+3. **The concrete next command** — read the frontier and name it: `/trailhead:work <next frontier ticket by name>`. If the frontier is empty, or the choice is ambiguous (several equal candidates), suggest `/trailhead:map` instead so the user picks.
+
+This ritual fires from every **Resolve** step (`build`, `bug`) and from **Mode 2**'s close (which resolves `decision` / `prototype` / `task` too). It does **not** fire after a `capture` (resolves nothing) or a parallel `research` batch (AFK, not session-ending).
+
+## Substrate: GitHub Issues
+
+The tracker is GitHub via the `gh` CLI (account already authenticated). Conventions:
+
+| Element | How |
+|----------|------|
+| Map | an issue with label `trailhead:map` |
+| Ticket | a child issue with label `trailhead:ticket` + exactly one **type** label: `trailhead:decision` / `trailhead:research` / `trailhead:prototype` / `trailhead:build` / `trailhead:bug` / `trailhead:task` |
+| Child→map link | a `Parent: <map name>(link)` line in the ticket body |
+| Blocking | the `## Blocked by` body section lists *which* tickets block (name+link — GitHub has no native blocking in the API); the **`trailhead:blocked`** label marks *that* it is currently blocked, so the frontier is one query. Add the label when you wire a blocker; **remove it the moment the last blocker closes** (that's what graduates a ticket onto the frontier). |
+| Claim | assign the ticket to yourself: `gh issue edit <n> --add-assignee @me` — the assignee *is* the claim; the claimer owns it end to end and closes it (no approver). Re-check before starting; on a collision, stop and ask the user. See [Working as a team](#working-as-a-team). |
+| Resolution | comment with the answer → `gh issue close` → update `Decisions so far` on the map |
+
+**State labels** (orthogonal to the type label, on top of `trailhead:ticket`):
+- **`trailhead:blocked`** — has an open blocker; excluded from the frontier. Removed when unblocked.
+- **`trailhead:seed`** — a forward-looking capture parked until a trigger fires (kept blocked); makes seeds auditable.
+- **`trailhead:out-of-scope`** — closed because ruled beyond the destination, *not* resolved; keeps it distinct from resolved tickets and out of `Decisions so far`.
+- **`trailhead:superseded`** — closed because split into child tickets that replace it (see [Working as a team](#working-as-a-team)); *not* resolved, and out of `Decisions so far`.
+- **`trailhead:unverified`** — a `trailhead:*` issue whose provenance isn't trusted (see [Trust & provenance](#working-as-a-team)); quarantined off the frontier until a maintainer adopts or rejects it.
+- **`trailhead:fog`** — an in-scope-but-not-yet-sharp issue (usually an inbound suggestion) **kept open as a clarification space** — visible and tracked, off the frontier and out of the inbox — where the reporter and others discuss until it's sharp enough to graduate into a ticket. See [Inbox](#inbox--issues-opened-by-others).
+
+**Frontier** = open, unassigned tickets that are **not** `trailhead:blocked` and **not** `trailhead:unverified`. That's the whole query — the labels are the pre-computed answers to "are all blockers closed?" and "is this a trusted trailhead ticket?", so no per-ticket body parsing.
+
+Base commands:
+```bash
+# create the map
+gh issue create --label "trailhead:map" --title "<destination>" --body-file <body>
+# create a child ticket (add trailhead:blocked too if it has an open blocker)
+gh issue create --label "trailhead:ticket,trailhead:build" --title "<question/goal>" --body-file <body>
+# the frontier: open, unassigned, not blocked, not unverified — one query
+gh issue list --label "trailhead:ticket" --state open --search "no:assignee -label:trailhead:blocked -label:trailhead:unverified"
+# unblock a ticket once its last blocker closes
+gh issue edit <n> --remove-label "trailhead:blocked"
+# claim
+gh issue edit <n> --add-assignee @me
+# resolve
+gh issue comment <n> --body-file <resolution>   &&   gh issue close <n>
+```
+On first use in a repo, create any missing labels with `gh label create` (all fourteen: `trailhead:map`, `trailhead:ticket`, the six type labels, `trailhead:blocked`, `trailhead:seed`, `trailhead:out-of-scope`, `trailhead:superseded`, `trailhead:unverified`, `trailhead:fog`).
+
+## The Map
+
+A single `trailhead:map` issue, the canonical artifact. It's an **index**, not a store: it lists the decisions made and points at the tickets that hold their detail. A decision lives in exactly one place — its ticket — the map gists it and links.
+
+**`/trailhead:map`** renders this at low resolution as a read-only dashboard (it changes nothing) — the map body plus the live ticket state, by name:
+- **Destination** — the one-line where-we're-headed.
+- **Frontier** — takeable now (open, unassigned, not blocked/unverified), each with its type.
+- **In progress** — claimed tickets, with who holds each.
+- **Blocked** — with what each waits on.
+- **Decisions so far** — the index of what's settled.
+- **Not yet specified** + **parked fog** — the coarse fog, and a count/link of open `trailhead:fog` issues.
+- **Out of scope** — what's been ruled out.
+- **Inbox** — a count of untriaged inbound issues, as a nudge.
+
+Map body (loaded once per session):
+
+```markdown
+## 🎯 Destination
+<what reaching the end of this map looks like — the spec, decision, or change this effort tends toward. The working artifact, unless overridden. One or two lines; every session orients to it before choosing a ticket.>
+
+## 🗒️ Notes
+<domain; vocabulary (see Domain vocabulary); standing preferences for this effort; any "stop at the spec" override.>
+
+## ⚙️ Config
+<!-- overrides the global ~/.claude/trailhead/config.json; omitted keys inherit global, then defaults. See Configuration. -->
+models: { plan: opus, execute: sonnet, research: sonnet, review: sonnet, debug: opus }
+design: disk                       # disk | claude.ai/design   (mode; project URL auto-cached below)
+design.approval: explicit          # explicit | auto  (require explicit mockup approval before UI code?)
+# design.project:                  # auto-filled at execution when a claude.ai/design project is created
+tdd: seams                         # seams | on | off
+acceptance.browser: auto           # auto | on | off
+testing: { webapp: true, url: http://localhost:3000 }
+plan_review: off                   # off | on | gemini,codex   (external AI review of build PLANs)
+plan_review.rounds: 2
+
+## ✅ Decisions so far
+<!-- the index — one line per closed ticket -->
+- [<closed ticket title>](link) — <one-line gist of the answer>
+
+## 🌫️ Not yet specified
+<!-- fog of war: in-scope fog not yet ticketable; graduates as the frontier advances -->
+
+## 🚫 Out of scope
+<!-- work ruled beyond the destination; closed, never graduates -->
+```
+
+Section names are matched by their **text** — the emoji are cosmetic anchors, so `Decisions so far` / `Not yet specified` / `Out of scope` still refer to these blocks throughout.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Two optional layers, **project wins over global**, key by key (built-in defaults otherwise):
+- **Global** — `~/.claude/trailhead/config.json` (honour `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`): your standing defaults across every project.
+- **Project** — the map's `## Config` block: overrides for this map. Omitted keys inherit global, then defaults.
+
+Load the effective config at the start of a work session. The **keys, their values, the model/tdd/acceptance semantics, and the guided menu setup live in `references/configuration.md`** — read it when running `/trailhead:config` or when you need a key's exact meaning. `/trailhead:config` with no args runs the guided setup; `config get` prints the merged config; `config set <key> <value>` writes one key.
+
+## The Tickets
+
+Each ticket is a child issue. Its **title carries the type icon** (see below); the body stays lean, one Question, sized to one ~100K-token session:
+
+```markdown
+Title: 🐛 <clear, specific title>
+
+**Parent:** [<map name>](link)
+
+## Question
+<the decision, investigation, or build goal this ticket resolves>
+
+## Blocked by
+<!-- names+links of tickets that must close first; empty → write "— nothing (on the frontier)" -->
+```
+
+The answer isn't in the body: it's recorded on resolution as a comment. Assets created while resolving a ticket are linked from the issue, not pasted in.
+
+**Visual style.** Tasteful icons for scannability, never at the cost of the lean body. The **type icon** prefixes the ticket title and appears wherever tickets are listed (`/trailhead:map`, inbox):
+
+| Type | Icon | | Map section | Icon |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `decision` | 🧭 | | Destination | 🎯 |
+| `research` | 🔬 | | Notes | 🗒️ |
+| `prototype` | 🎨 | | Config | ⚙️ |
+| `build` | 🔨 | | Decisions so far | ✅ |
+| `bug` | 🐛 | | Not yet specified | 🌫️ |
+| `task` | 🔧 | | Out of scope | 🚫 |
+
+The map issue title is prefixed 🗺. Keep the icons stable and don't add others — they're anchors, not decoration.
+
+## Techniques
+
+The ticket engines call these by name. Each technique's full protocol lives in its own file under `references/techniques/` — **read that file the first time a session needs the technique**, so only the ones in play load into context (don't preload them). They are `trailhead`'s own, self-contained (distilled from Wayfinder and GSD); subagents are spawned with the built-in `Agent` tool.
+
+| Technique | File | In one line |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Grilling** | `references/techniques/grilling.md` | interrogate the human, one question at a time, to converge on a decision |
+| **Domain vocabulary** | `references/techniques/domain-vocabulary.md` | build a precise shared glossary so each term means one thing |
+| **Prototype** | `references/techniques/prototype.md` | throwaway artifact for "how should it look/behave"; routes UI mockups (disk / claude.ai/design) |
+| **Research** | `references/techniques/research.md` | a focused subagent gathers a decision-ready fact from primary sources |
+| **TDD** | `references/techniques/tdd.md` | RED → GREEN → REFACTOR at the seams; no implementation before a failing test |
+| **Codebase map** | `references/techniques/codebase-map.md` | one-time fan-out of 5 read-only readers, distilled into the map's Notes |
+| **Debug** | `references/techniques/debug.md` | scientific method: reproduce → localise → falsifiable hypotheses → confirm cause → verify |
+| **Code review** | `references/techniques/code-review.md` | review the diff on 4 axes, adversarially verify each finding before reporting |
+| **Acceptance testing** | `references/techniques/acceptance-testing.md` | prove it does what the *user* wanted: automated → browser-drive → guided UAT |
+| **Cross-AI plan review** | `references/techniques/plan-review.md` | send a PLAN to external AI CLIs, converge on their concerns (opt-in via `config.plan_review`) |
+
+## Ticket types and their engine
+
+Every ticket is **HITL** (human in the loop, speaking for themselves) or **AFK** (driven by the agent alone). A HITL ticket resolves only through the live exchange: the agent never stands in for the human's side.
+
+### `decision` — HITL — *default for decision tickets*
+Close a choice — but widen before you narrow:
+
+1. **Diverge (only if the option space isn't already clear).** Mapping the frontier usually framed the options already; skip straight to grilling when it did. When it didn't — the ticket names a question but the candidate answers aren't laid out — open the space *first*: brainstorm the plausible options, name each concretely, and post them as an `OPTIONS` comment. Divergence has no judgement yet: surface possibilities, don't rank them. If a missing **fact** is what's blocking clarity, spin a `research` ticket and block on it; if the question is "how could it look/behave", spin a `prototype`. Don't grill a space you haven't opened.
+2. **Converge.** Run the **Grilling** + **Domain vocabulary** techniques over the options to pick one. Record the decision and the why.
+
+The two phases are distinct on purpose: divergence generates, grilling chooses. Never let the agent invent the options *and* pick for the human — the choice stays theirs.
+
+### `research` — AFK
+Reading docs, third-party APIs, or local resources to surface a fact a decision waits on. Resolved by the **Research** technique. The only type that runs in parallel and more than one per session.
+
+### `prototype` — HITL
+Raise the fidelity of the discussion with a rough, concrete artifact to react to — the **Prototype** technique. Link the prototype as an asset.
+
+### `build` — the engine inside the map
+The ticket that *builds*. Lean cycle, all in **ticket comments**:
+
+1. **Discuss** — **never auto-grill.** Start from Plan. If reading the ticket surfaces blocking ambiguity, **stop and ask the user** whether they want a **Grilling** round: don't launch it on your own initiative. Only on their assent run the short round and post a `DISCUSS` comment with the closed choices. The user may also ask for it themselves at any time.
+2. **Plan** — a `PLAN` comment: the steps, the seams, the files touched, the verification criteria. Apply **TDD** per `config.tdd` (`seams`/`on`/`off`). When `config.models.plan` differs from `config.models.execute`, produce this plan via a *planner subagent* on the plan model, then execute in the session on the execute model. If `config.plan_review` is on, run **Cross-AI plan review** before Execute — send the plan to external AI CLIs and converge on their concerns.
+3. **Execute** — implement with **atomic commits straight to `main`** (conventional commits). One commit = one verifiable step.
+4. **Verify** — a `VERIFY` comment: run the tests / the plan's criterion; then the **Code review** technique; then **Acceptance testing** if the change is user-facing (browser-drive it, or hand the user a guided UAT checklist). Report the outcome honestly (if a test fails, say so).
+5. **Resolve** — a resolution comment with what was done → `gh issue close` → update `Decisions so far` on the map. Then close the session with the **[Session handoff](#session-handoff)** ritual (`/clear` + next command).
+
+New scope that surfaces mid-build (while planning, executing, or testing) → **capture or split, never expand this ticket in flight** (see [Scope that surfaces while working a ticket](#capture-zero-friction--tracker)).
+
+### `bug` — the fix with diagnosis first
+A defect to correct. Unlike `build`, you don't start from implementation: first you **understand**.
+
+**New bug ticket vs reopen — decide first.** A bug in the work of an already-closed ticket almost always means a **new** `bug` ticket, *not* reopening the old one, because `Decisions so far` is append-only history: that ticket really did deliver, and the defect surfaced later is a new event. The one exception is a **premature close** — a ticket closed before its Verify ever passed, i.e. it never actually delivered. The discriminator is sharp: **did that ticket genuinely pass Verify?**
+- **Yes** → new bug ticket carrying `Regression of: <closed ticket name+link>` in its body. Leave the original closed. Open it with `/trailhead:bug --of <ticket> <text>` (below), which fills the pointer for you.
+- **No** (closed by mistake, never delivered) → this isn't a new bug, it's a bad close: `gh issue reopen <n>` and finish it.
+
+Then run the cycle, all in ticket comments:
+
+1. **Repro** — a `REPRO` comment: how to reproduce, expected vs observed behaviour.
+2. **Diagnose** — run the **Debug** technique. A `DIAGNOSIS` comment with the root cause.
+3. **Fix** — implement the correction with **atomic commits to `main`**. Where sensible, a test that fails before and passes after (**TDD**).
+4. **Verify** — a `VERIFY` comment: the repro now passes, no regressions; **Code review** on the fix; **Acceptance testing** if the bug was user-facing (browser-drive the fixed flow, or a guided UAT checklist).
+5. **Resolve** — a resolution comment (cause + fix) → `gh issue close` → update `Decisions so far`. Then close the session with the **[Session handoff](#session-handoff)** ritual (`/clear` + next command).
+
+A **blocking** bug that halts other work is worked immediately; an isolated one is a normal frontier ticket. New scope surfacing while fixing → capture or split, never expand this ticket in flight (see [Scope that surfaces while working a ticket](#capture-zero-friction--tracker)).
+
+### `task` — HITL or AFK
+Manual work that must happen before a *decision* can be made: signing up for a service to judge its API, provisioning access, moving data to see its shape. The agent drives it alone where it can (AFK); otherwise it hands the human a precise checklist (HITL). Resolved when the work is done; the answer records what was done and the resulting facts (where credentials live, new URLs, row counts) later tickets depend on.
+
+## Fog of war
+
+The map is *deliberately* incomplete: don't chart what you can't yet see. Beyond the live tickets lies the fog — decisions and investigations you can feel coming but can't yet pin down, because they hang on questions still open. Resolving a ticket clears the fog ahead of it, graduating into fresh tickets whatever has become specifiable — one at a time, until the way to the destination is clear and no tickets remain.
+
+**Not yet specified** is where that dim view is written: the suspected question, the area to revisit. Everything here is in scope, just not sharp enough for a ticket.
+
+**Fog or ticket?** The test is whether you can *phrase* the question precisely now — not whether you can *answer* it now.
+- **Ticket** when the question is already sharp, even if blocked.
+- **Not yet specified** when you can't yet phrase it that sharply. Don't pre-slice the fog into ticket-sized pieces.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+Fog only ever gathers *toward* the destination. Work beyond the destination is **out of scope**: it isn't fog, it doesn't belong in *Not yet specified*. It gets its own section on the map. It never graduates — the frontier stops at the destination. When an existing ticket turns out to sit beyond the destination, label it **`trailhead:out-of-scope`**, **close it**, and leave one line in *Out of scope* with the why, linking the closed ticket. The label keeps it distinct from a resolved ticket; it stays out of *Decisions so far*, which records the way actually walked.
+
+## Capture (zero friction → tracker)
+
+Capture without breaking flow, but with the **tracker** as destination, not scattered files. The verbs are in the **Capture** table under [Commands](#commands); here is the detail of each:
+
+- **`note`** → a verbatim line in `## Not yet specified` (outside a project → `$HOME/.claude/notes/`). No questions, no rewriting.
+- **`idea`** → fog by default in `## Not yet specified`; becomes a ticket only if already phrasable as a sharp question. An idea in the fog is **not executable** — to work it, it must first **graduate** into a ticket (which happens when the frontier reaches it, or when you can now phrase it sharply). A `todo`, by contrast, is born a `build` ticket and is workable immediately.
+- **`todo`** → a small `trailhead:build` ticket on the frontier (defined work you will do — a todo is just a small build ticket). If it's a parking spot *beyond* the destination, it goes in `## Out of scope` instead.
+- **`bug`** → a `trailhead:bug` ticket on the frontier; the repro in the body if you know it. If it blocks the ticket you're working, add it to that ticket's `## Blocked by` and label that ticket `trailhead:blocked`. Pass **`--of <ticket>`** (a number, `#n`, name, or URL) to record it as a `Regression of: <ticket>` pointer in the body — use it for a bug in already-closed work, which is always a *new* ticket, never a reopen (see the `bug` engine for the reopen exception). **Don't derail**: capture and continue — you resolve it in a dedicated session.
+- **`seed`** → a ticket labelled `trailhead:seed` + `trailhead:blocked`, kept in its own `## Blocked by` until the trigger fires; note the trigger in the body. When the trigger fires, drop both labels to graduate it onto the frontier.
+
+**note · idea · seed · todo form a spectrum** of commitment and timing (`bug` is separate — a defect, not a capture-tier):
+
+| Verb | Lands as | Workable when | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **note** | verbatim text (fog, or global notes) | maybe never — just recorded | *remember this* (not necessarily work) |
+| **idea** | fog (`Not yet specified`) | later, **if** it graduates to a ticket | *maybe I'll do it* |
+| **seed** | a blocked ticket | when a **trigger** fires | *I'll do it when X happens* |
+| **todo** | a frontier ticket | **now** | *I'm doing it* |
+
+Discriminator: not even work → `note`; maybe, once it's clear → `idea`; yes, when X happens → `seed`; yes, now → `todo`. The close pairs: `note` vs `idea` — raw text vs a work-candidate meant to graduate; `idea` vs `seed` — waiting on *clarity* vs waiting on a *condition*; `seed` vs `todo` — committed *later* vs committed *now*.
+
+One capture = one action + one confirmation line. It resolves nothing.
+
+**Scope that surfaces while working a ticket.** Testing or building X often sparks new ideas — do **not** grow X in flight; a ticket is one answerable Question, sized to one session. Decide per idea:
+- part of X's Question and small → just do it in X (that's completing X, not expanding it);
+- it balloons X past one session → **`split`** X (children carry the new pieces, supersede the original);
+- separate work or a follow-up beyond X's goal → **capture and continue** (`idea`/`todo`/`ticket`/`bug --of X`), don't derail.
+
+Tickets born this way carry a **`Surfaced from: <ticket name+link>`** line in their body — the same lineage convention as `Split from:` and `Regression of:` — so where an idea came from stays visible. Never let extras become silent lines inside X: the map stays honest by spinning them into their own tickets or fog.
+
+## Working as a team
+
+Many people (and their agent sessions) share one map and work it concurrently. The tracker is the single source of truth; these conventions keep concurrent work from colliding.
+
+### Claiming
+Whoever claims a ticket **owns it end to end** — they work it and close it themselves. "Owner" means only "the current claimer of *this* ticket," never a project-wide approver; there is no gate and no one to wait on to close your own ticket. GitHub assignment isn't an atomic lock, so keep the protocol simple and human-decided:
+
+1. **Before claiming, check it's not already being worked.** Read the assignee. If it's already assigned to someone else, it's in progress — don't take it; pick another frontier ticket. (If the user explicitly named this taken ticket, stop and tell them it's assigned to `<login>`.)
+2. **Claim it** — assign it to yourself: `gh issue edit <n> --add-assignee @me`.
+3. **Re-check right before starting work.** Read the assignee again. If someone else got assigned in the meantime, **do not do any work — stop and flag it to the user with a clear message**, e.g.:
+
+   > ⚠️ **Claim collision on “<ticket name>” (#<n>).** It's now also assigned to **@<other-login>**, who may be working it right now. I've stopped and done nothing. How do you want to proceed?
+   > 1. **Leave it to them** — I'll unassign myself and take the next frontier ticket.
+   > 2. **Take it over** — I'll keep it and post a comment notifying @<other-login> that you're taking it.
+
+   Do exactly what the user chooses — never resolve the collision silently.
+4. **Unclaim if you stop.** Pausing or abandoning a ticket → remove your assignment so it returns to the frontier. A claimed-but-idle ticket is invisible work.
+5. **Never touch a ticket someone else holds.** Don't edit its body, labels, or state; contribute via a comment and let its owner incorporate it.
+
+### Pausing & resuming
+Switching away from a ticket mid-work — to clear a blocker, chase an urgent bug, or just stop — must not lose the thread.
+- **Pause** (`/trailhead:pause [note]`) — first commit any work-in-progress (atomic) so nothing is stranded, then post a **`PAUSED`** checkpoint comment: what's done, the exact next step, and any local state (branch, how to run it). Keep the claim if you'll return soon; **release it** (unassign) if it's open-ended, so someone else can resume — the checkpoint is what makes that safe.
+- **Resume** (`/trailhead:resume [ticket]`) — read the ticket's latest `PAUSED` checkpoint (and the `DISCUSS`/`PLAN` comments above it), then pick up at the recorded next step. Anyone may resume a *released* ticket; a still-claimed one, only its owner.
+- One ticket per session still holds: pausing A to work B ideally means B in a fresh session. If you must switch within one session, checkpoint A first — never leave it half-done and unrecorded.
+
+### Splitting a ticket
+A ticket is sized to one ~100K-token session. When a claimed ticket turns out too big, or fans into distinct pieces, **split it** — don't grind through an oversized ticket:
+1. **Create the child tickets** (create-then-wire): each carries `Parent: <map>`, a `Split from: <original name+link>` line, its type label, and `trailhead:blocked` if it has an open blocker.
+2. **Supersede the original**: post a comment listing the children (`split into <names+links>`), label it **`trailhead:superseded`**, and **close it**. The children fully replace it.
+3. The superseded ticket stays **out of `Decisions so far`** (it wasn't a decision walked — its children are). If other tickets were blocked by the original, re-point their `## Blocked by` at the relevant child and re-evaluate their `trailhead:blocked`.
+
+Splitting is not resolving: a superseded ticket delivered nothing itself. (If instead the ticket sits beyond the destination, that's *out of scope*, not a split.)
+
+### Concurrent edits to the map
+The map issue's **body** is a shared mutable document — two sessions appending to `Decisions so far` at once will clobber each other (GitHub doesn't merge bodies). So:
+- **The durable record of a resolution is the ticket's resolution comment**, never the map body. The map's `Decisions so far` is a best-effort index rebuilt from the tickets; if a line is lost to a race, it's recoverable from the closed ticket.
+- **Re-read the map body immediately before editing it**, append your one line, write back — keep the window tiny. Never edit the map from stale content read earlier in the session.
+- **Keep map-body writes small and append-only** where possible; heavy restructuring of the map is a single-session job, done when no one else is mid-write.
+- Ticket-level state (claim, labels, comments, close) is naturally conflict-free — prefer expressing state there over in the map body.
+
+### Trust & provenance
+`trailhead:*` labels drive the map, so they must not be forgeable by outsiders. GitHub already blocks users without write access from applying labels at all; this layer defends against the rest (triage-level collaborators, automations, or a repo that later loosens permissions).
+
+**Trust rule.** Treat a `trailhead:map` / `trailhead:ticket` issue as genuine **only if** its `trailhead:*` label was applied by a repo collaborator with **write access or above**, *and* (for a ticket) it carries a valid `Parent:` line pointing at this map. To check the labeller, read the issue timeline — `gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{n}/timeline` gives `labeled` events with their `actor` — and confirm the actor's permission with `gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/collaborators/{actor}/permission` (`admin`/`write`/`maintain` = trusted; `read`/`none` = not).
+
+**On an untrusted match** — a `trailhead:*` issue whose label came from a non-write actor, or a ticket with no valid `Parent:` — do **not** put it on the frontier or act on it. Label it **`trailhead:unverified`**, and surface it to the user as a quarantined item to **adopt** (a maintainer re-applies the real labels + wires `Parent:`) or **reject** (strip the `trailhead:*` labels, leave it a normal issue). Never silently trust a label just because it's present.
+
+**Repo-side enforcement (recommended).** trailhead **installs the label guard for you** — don't tell the user to copy files. When charting or adopting a map on a shared repo, offer to install it; on their go-ahead, write the shipped label-guard template (`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/trailhead-label-guard.yml` for a plugin install, or `~/.claude/trailhead/templates/trailhead-label-guard.yml` for an npm install — take whichever exists) to the repo's `.github/workflows/trailhead-label-guard.yml` and commit it (conventional message; the commit-guard hook keeps it clean). The Action strips any `trailhead:*` label added by a non-write actor and comments why; set an optional `TRAILHEAD_LABEL_ALLOWLIST` repo variable to whitelist extra logins (e.g. a bot trailhead runs as). **Caveat:** pushing a workflow file needs a token with the `workflow` scope — if the push is rejected, run `gh auth refresh -s workflow` and retry (or, as a last resort, tell the user to add the file by hand).
+
+## Inbox — issues opened by others
+
+People file issues that aren't trailhead tickets — bug reports, feature requests, questions. `/trailhead:inbox [issue]` triages them and **integrates the worthwhile ones into the map**, keeping the reporter's authorship.
+
+`/trailhead:inbox` presents **two sections**:
+
+**A. New — to triage.** Open issues carrying **no** `trailhead:*` label (plus any `trailhead:unverified` from the trust guard):
+```bash
+gh issue list --state open --json number,title,author,labels \
+  | jq '[.[] | select([.labels[].name] | any(startswith("trailhead:")) | not)]'
+```
+
+**B. Parked fog — any ready to graduate?** The open `trailhead:fog` issues, **most-recently-active first** — recent discussion is exactly where the fog has likely cleared, so you review those, not all of them:
+```bash
+gh issue list --label trailhead:fog --state open --search "sort:updated-desc"
+```
+This is **how you notice a fog has cleared**: you don't watch each thread — you run the inbox (as you would to triage new issues), and section B surfaces the parked items that moved. For each, decide: **graduate** (adopt in place — see Fog), **keep parked** (still vague), or **drop** (turned out out-of-scope/dead → `trailhead:out-of-scope` + close). Optionally, a participant can nudge readiness by commenting on the thread; you confirm at graduation.
+
+For each issue in either section, decide — with the user for judgement calls, on your own for clear ones:
+
+- **Adopt → a ticket.** Integrate it *in place* (same issue number, so the reporter stays credited): append a trailhead block to the body — `Parent: <map name+link>`, `Adopted-from: opened by @<author>`, a reframed `## Question` (the decision/build the *map* will act on), and `## Blocked by` — **without erasing the reporter's original text above it**. Apply `trailhead:ticket` + the right type label (`bug`/`decision`/`build`/`research`/`task`) as a write-access maintainer (which also satisfies [Trust & provenance](#working-as-a-team)); add `trailhead:blocked` if it has an open blocker. It lands on the frontier. Comment to the reporter that it's been picked up.
+- **Fog.** In scope but not sharp enough to ticket → **keep the issue open and label it `trailhead:fog`** (parked: still visible and tracked, but the `trailhead:*` label drops it out of the inbound query, so it won't re-surface at every triage). Then use the open issue as a **clarification space**: post a comment with the questions that would make it concrete — in the spirit of **Grilling**, but async ("what would *done* look like? which users? where does it show?") — and invite the reporter and anyone interested to refine it in the thread. The fog dissipates through that conversation as much as through other work landing; others can carry the discussion with the reporter without you in the loop. **You don't lose it** — `gh issue list --label trailhead:fog` is the durable list, and the reporter follows their own open issue. When the thread (or the wider work) has made the question sharp, **adopt it in place**: swap `trailhead:fog` for `trailhead:ticket` + the type label, add `Parent:` and the now-answerable `## Question`, and it lands on the frontier — same issue, same reporter, the clarifying discussion preserved above.
+- **Out of scope.** Beyond the destination → label `trailhead:out-of-scope`, close with the why.
+- **Duplicate.** Link the existing ticket and close.
+- **Needs info.** Ask the reporter for a repro or specifics; leave it open.
+
+A rogue issue wearing a `trailhead:*` label it shouldn't (now `trailhead:unverified`) is triaged the same way: **adopt** (a maintainer applies the real labels + `Parent:`) or **reject** (strip the `trailhead:*` labels, leave it a normal inbound issue). Never adopt by trusting a label that was already there — you apply the labels on adoption.
+
+## Invocation
+
+### Mode 1 — Chart the map (new project) — `/trailhead:new`
+The user invokes with a loose idea.
+
+1. **Name the destination.** Run the **Grilling** + **Domain vocabulary** techniques to pin down what this map tends toward. The destination fixes the scope, so it's settled first. Default: a working artifact.
+2. **Map the frontier.** Grill again, **breadth-first**: fan out across the whole space rather than deep on one thread, surfacing the open decisions and the first steps takeable now. **If no fog surfaces** — the way is already clear, the whole thing fits one session — you don't need a map: stop and ask how to proceed.
+3. **Create the map** (`trailhead:map`): Destination and Notes filled in, Decisions-so-far empty, the fog sketched into *Not yet specified*.
+4. **Create the tickets you can specify now** as child issues — then wire the blocking in a **second pass** (issues need ids before they can reference each other): fill each blocked ticket's `## Blocked by` and add the `trailhead:blocked` label. Wiring sorts them into frontier (unlabelled) and blocked; the rest stays fog.
+5. **Fire the research subagents.** For each `research` ticket created, run the **Research** technique in parallel, findings on a `research/<name>` branch with a pointer from the ticket.
+6. Stop — charting is one session's work; it hand-resolves nothing.
+
+### Mode 1-bis — Adopt an existing project — `/trailhead:adopt`
+When the code already exists (project in progress). Like Mode 1, but start from **reality**, not a blank page. One heavy step at entry, then all lean.
+
+1. **Map the codebase (once).** Heavy step, *only* at adoption — it does not repeat per ticket. Run the **Codebase map** technique (a parallel fan-out of reader subagents) for a structured understanding: architecture, stack, decisions already embodied, risk areas. Distil the essence into a `## Codebase` block in the map's *Notes* and discard the raw. The tracker stays the source of truth; the per-ticket cycle stays lean.
+2. **Name the destination of the remaining stretch.** **Grilling** + **Domain vocabulary**, **seeded by the map you just built**: not "what is the project" but "what's left to reach working / the next milestone".
+3. **Backfill the decisions already made.** Choices already embodied in the code (now visible from the map) or stated by the user go into `Decisions so far` as **ticket-less** lines (they're already closed), so the map reflects reality and doesn't pretend greenfield. Link to code/commits where useful.
+4. **Map the frontier of the remainder** → tickets specifiable now + fog in *Not yet specified*, then wire the blocking and fire the research. As Mode 1, steps 4–6.
+
+The tracker is the existing repo's (`gh` in its directory); create any missing `trailhead:*` labels on first use.
+
+### Mode 2 — Work the map — `/trailhead:work`
+The user invokes with a map (URL or number). A ticket is optional — without one, you pick the next decision.
+
+1. Load the **map** (the low-res view, not every ticket body).
+2. Choose the ticket. If the user names one, use it. Otherwise the first frontier ticket in order. **Claim** it: assign it to yourself before any work, then re-read the assignee before starting — on a collision, stop and ask the user (see [Working as a team](#working-as-a-team)). If the ticket proves too big once you're in it, **split** it rather than grind (same section).
+3. Resolve it with its type's engine — **zoom as needed**: fetch the full body of related/closed tickets on demand. If in doubt on a `decision` ticket, run **Grilling** + **Domain vocabulary**. If in doubt on a `build`, **stop and ask** (see the Discuss step) — never auto-grill.
+4. Record the resolution: a comment with the answer, `gh issue close`, add the pointer to *Decisions so far*. Then **unblock dependents**: for every ticket this one was blocking, if it was the last open blocker, remove its `trailhead:blocked` label so it graduates onto the frontier.
+5. Add newly-surfaced tickets (create-then-wire, labelling blocked ones `trailhead:blocked`); graduate the fog that became specifiable, clearing the patch from *Not yet specified*. If the answer reveals a ticket sits beyond the destination, **out of scope** (label + close) instead of resolving it. If the decision invalidates other parts of the map, update or delete them.
+6. **Hand off.** Close the session with the **[Session handoff](#session-handoff)** ritual: confirm the ticket is resolved by name, invite `/clear`, and suggest the next command — `/trailhead:work <next frontier ticket by name>`, or `/trailhead:map` if the frontier is empty/ambiguous.
+
+### Mode 3 — Capture — `/trailhead:bug|todo|idea|seed|note`
+The user fires a capture on the fly → route it per the **Capture** section and confirm with one line.
+
+### Auxiliary verbs — `/trailhead:ticket|config|grill|split|pause|resume`
+- **`ticket <type> <title>`** — open ticket(s) of the map on the fly, for any of the six types (`decision`, `research`, `prototype`, `build`, `bug`, `task`) — the escape hatch the capture verbs don't cover. **Adding a ticket is a micro-charting act, so diverge briefly first, don't blind-commit to a single piece:** run a short breadth-first pass around the request — is this really *one* session-sized ticket, or a small **cluster** (a `decision` that needs a `research` before it, a UI `build` that needs a `prototype`, obvious siblings)? Does it imply a blocker? Surface the neighbours, *then* create the ticket(s): each gets `trailhead:ticket` + its `trailhead:<type>`, a `Parent:` line, a `## Question`; put each on the frontier, or wire `## Blocked by` + `trailhead:blocked`. This is a framing brainstorm (is this the right work?), distinct from the `decision` engine's option brainstorm (which choice?). If `<type>` is missing or invalid, ask which of the six. *(The zero-friction captures — `bug`/`todo`/`idea`/`seed`/`note` — deliberately skip this; they're one action, one confirmation.)*
+- **`grill [topic|ticket]`** — run a standalone **Grilling** (+ **Domain vocabulary**) session on a decision or topic, or on a named ticket, without committing to the full work cycle. Record the outcome where it belongs: a ticket's resolution, the map's `Decisions so far`, or a fresh `decision` ticket.
+- **`config`** — a **guided, menu-driven** setup (see [Configuration → Guided setup](#configuration)): pick the scope, then walk each setting as an `AskUserQuestion` menu with icon-labelled options, and write the result. `config get` prints the effective config read-only (global merged with the map's `## Config`, showing which source wins each key); `config set <key> <value>` writes one key directly — to the map's `## Config`, or to `~/.claude/trailhead/config.json` with `--global`.
+- **`split [ticket]`** — split the named (or in-play) ticket per [Splitting a ticket](#working-as-a-team): create children, supersede & close the original.
+- **`pause [note]`** / **`resume [ticket]`** — checkpoint and pick back up per [Pausing & resuming](#working-as-a-team).
+
+The user may work unblocked tickets in parallel: expect concurrent sessions editing the tracker — see [Working as a team](#working-as-a-team) for claiming, splitting, and safe map edits.
