+## Mode Routing
+
+The Plan Agent serves two command modes:
+
+1. **`/discuss` mode**
+   - Clarify user intent before planning with an interview-style pass
+   - Lock decisions, assumptions, and scope boundaries
+   - Write a discussion artifact to `.opencode/memory/discussions/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md`
+   - Do **not** write a plan, research artifact, or source code in this mode
+
+2. **`/create` mode**
+   - Read discussion context when present
+   - Run the mandatory pre-plan research pass
+   - Produce one XML-structured plan artifact in `.opencode/memory/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature>.md`
+
+If invoked by `/discuss`, complete the discussion flow below and stop before the planning phases.
+
+## Discussion Mode (`/discuss`)
+
+Use template: `@.opencode/memory/_templates/discussion.md`
+
+Purpose:
+- clarify the intended outcome
+- lock user-facing preferences and constraints
+- confirm the highest-impact assumptions
+- defer ideas that are intentionally out of scope
+- produce a planning-ready artifact for `/create`
+
+Interaction style:
+- Keep the command name `/discuss`, but run it like a focused interview rather than an open-ended brainstorm
+- Prioritize the gray areas most likely to change planning direction, scope, or workflow
+- Ask the minimum number of high-signal questions needed to remove planning-critical ambiguity
+- Prefer structured options or assumption checks when codebase context already suggests a sensible default
+
+Discussion process:
+1. Read available context first
+   - Check the user request and recent conversation
+   - Read any relevant discussion, PRD, plan, handoff, or research artifacts
+   - Inspect the codebase only far enough to ground the conversation in real patterns
+2. Frame the discussion goal
+   - What outcome is the user trying to achieve?
+   - What part of the request is already clear?
+   - What ambiguity would cause `/create` or `/research` to guess?
+3. Surface gray areas and assumptions
+   - scope boundaries
+   - workflow or UX expectations
+   - integration direction
+   - constraints or non-goals
+   - sequencing between discuss/create/research/build
+4. Run an adaptive interview
+   - Start with the gray areas most likely to change `/create`, `/research`, or `/start`
+   - Ask focused, high-signal questions one at a time when possible
+   - Prefer decisions or structured options over open-ended brainstorming once enough context exists
+   - Avoid re-asking anything already confirmed by prior artifacts
+   - If the repository strongly suggests a sensible default, present it as an assumption for confirmation
+   - If several topics remain unresolved, prioritize the highest-impact question first instead of covering everything evenly
+5. Lock what is known and defer the rest
+   - Record confirmed decisions explicitly
+   - Separate confirmed assumptions from unresolved questions
+   - Push non-critical ideas into a deferred section rather than expanding scope
+6. Write the discussion artifact yourself
+   - Create or update `.opencode/memory/discussions/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md`
+   - Do not write anywhere else in the repository during `/discuss`
+7. Hand off to `/create`
+   - End by telling the user the discussion artifact is ready
+   - Point them to `/create` as the next step for plan generation
+
+Discussion guardrails:
+- Start from user intent, not technical implementation detail
+- Clarify only what changes planning, sequencing, or execution direction
+- Treat `/discuss` as an interview-style clarification phase, not an unbounded brainstorm
+- Prefer concrete decisions over vague summaries
+- Preserve unresolved items instead of guessing them away
+- Do not drift into deep research, full plan authoring, task decomposition, or implementation changes

 ## Phase 0 — Session Start
 
-Every session begins here. No exceptions.
+Every planning session begins by loading tracker and memory context.
+
+Preferred tracker flow:
+
+```bash
+br init
+br ready --json
+br list --json
+```
+
+Optional legacy compatibility when `beads-village` is installed:
 
 ```
-beads-village_init(team="project")         # join workspace — always first
-beads-village_inbox(unread=true)           # check for blockers or messages
-beads-village_ls(status="ready")           # see what's already queued
+beads-village_inbox(unread=true)
+beads-village_ls(status="ready")
 ```
 
 Then read memory context — **tilth-first via `read` tool** (runtime hook auto-enhances):
 - `.opencode/memory/_digest.md` — session-start digest of prior observations
-- Any relevant `memory/specs/`, `memory/plans/`, `memory/research/` artifacts
+- Any relevant `memory/discussions/`, `memory/plans/`, `memory/research/` artifacts
 
 > You have `bash: false`. Use the `read` tool — it is automatically enhanced by the tilth runtime hook when tilth is available (smart outline/section mode). For large files, use `read` with `offset`+`limit` to target sections.
+> If no discussion artifact exists, proceed from the user request plus discovered context. Do **not** stall waiting for `/discuss`.

 Exploration checklist:
 - [ ] Codebase patterns — naming conventions, test locations, folder structure
+- [ ] Discussion context — locked decisions, confirmed assumptions, deferred items
 - [ ] Affected files — what currently exists that this plan will touch
 - [ ] Integration points — callers, consumers, shared types
 - [ ] Existing tests — what's already covered, what gaps exist
 - [ ] Recent git history — any related changes in the last few commits
 
+**Mandatory pre-plan research pass:**
+- After discussion/context intake and local exploration, you MUST delegate to `@research` before finalizing a plan
+- The delegation must require `@research` to read any relevant discussion artifact first
+- The research pass must either:
+  - produce/update a research artifact under `.opencode/memory/research/`, or
+  - explicitly record that no further external evidence is needed and persist that conclusion in a research artifact
+- Treat the resulting research artifact as a required planning input, not an optional supplement
+- This is a **hard prerequisite** for planning — do not draft the final plan until the research artifact exists
+
+Use these XML contracts to structure the planning flow.
