-<purpose>
-Initialize a new project through unified flow: questioning, research (optional), requirements, roadmap. This is the most leveraged moment in any project — deep questioning here means better plans, better execution, better outcomes. One workflow takes you from idea to ready-for-planning.
-</purpose>
-
-<required_reading>
-Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting.
-</required_reading>
-
-<auto_mode>
-
-## Auto Mode Detection
-
-Check if `--auto` flag is present in $ARGUMENTS.
-
-**If auto mode:**
-
-- Skip brownfield mapping offer (assume greenfield)
-- Skip deep questioning (extract context from provided document)
-- Config: YOLO mode is implicit (skip that question), but ask granularity/git/agents FIRST (Step 2a)
-- After config: run Steps 6-9 automatically with smart defaults:
-  - Research: Always yes
-  - Requirements: Include all table stakes + features from provided document
-  - Requirements approval: Auto-approve
-  - Roadmap approval: Auto-approve
-
-**Document requirement:**
-Auto mode requires an idea document — either:
-
-- File reference: `/mindforge-new-project --auto @prd.md`
-- Pasted/written text in the prompt
-
-If no document content provided, error:
-
-```
-Error: --auto requires an idea document.
-
-Usage:
-  /mindforge-new-project --auto @your-idea.md
-  /mindforge-new-project --auto [paste or write your idea here]
-
-The document should describe what you want to build.
-```
-
-</auto_mode>
-
-<process>
-
-## 1. Setup
-
-**MANDATORY FIRST STEP — Execute these checks before ANY user interaction:**
-
-```bash
-INIT=$(node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" init new-project)
-if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
-```
-
-Parse JSON for: `researcher_model`, `synthesizer_model`, `roadmapper_model`, `commit_docs`, `project_exists`, `has_codebase_map`, `planning_exists`, `has_existing_code`, `has_package_file`, `is_brownfield`, `needs_codebase_map`, `has_git`, `project_path`.
-
-**If `project_exists` is true:** Error — project already initialized. Use `/mindforge-progress`.
-
-**If `has_git` is false:** Initialize git:
-
-```bash
-git init
-```
-
-## 2. Brownfield Offer
-
-**If auto mode:** Skip to Step 4 (assume greenfield, synthesize PROJECT.md from provided document).
-
-**If `needs_codebase_map` is true** (from init — existing code detected but no codebase map):
-
-Use AskUserQuestion:
-
-- header: "Codebase"
-- question: "I detected existing code in this directory. Would you like to map the codebase first?"
-- options:
-  - "Map codebase first" — Run /mindforge-map-codebase to understand existing architecture (Recommended)
-  - "Skip mapping" — Proceed with project initialization
-
-**If "Map codebase first":**
-
-```
-Run `/mindforge-map-codebase` first, then return to `/mindforge-new-project`
-```
-
-Exit command.
-
-**If "Skip mapping" OR `needs_codebase_map` is false:** Continue to Step 3.
-
-## 2a. Auto Mode Config (auto mode only)
-
-**If auto mode:** Collect config settings upfront before processing the idea document.
-
-YOLO mode is implicit (auto = YOLO). Ask remaining config questions:
-
-**Round 1 — Core settings (3 questions, no Mode question):**
-
-```
-AskUserQuestion([
-  {
-    header: "Granularity",
-    question: "How finely should scope be sliced into phases?",
-    multiSelect: false,
-    options: [
-      { label: "Coarse (Recommended)", description: "Fewer, broader phases (3-5 phases, 1-3 plans each)" },
-      { label: "Standard", description: "Balanced phase size (5-8 phases, 3-5 plans each)" },

-      { label: "No", description: "Keep .planning/ local-only (add to .gitignore)" }
-    ]
-  }
-])
-```
-
-**Round 2 — Workflow agents (same as Step 5):**
-
-```
-AskUserQuestion([
-  {
-    header: "Research",
-    question: "Research before planning each phase? (adds tokens/time)",
-    multiSelect: false,
-    options: [
-      { label: "Yes (Recommended)", description: "Investigate domain, find patterns, surface gotchas" },
-      { label: "No", description: "Plan directly from requirements" }
-    ]
-  },
-  {
-    header: "Plan Check",
-    question: "Verify plans will achieve their goals? (adds tokens/time)",
-    multiSelect: false,
-    options: [
-      { label: "Yes (Recommended)", description: "Catch gaps before execution starts" },
-      { label: "No", description: "Execute plans without verification" }
-    ]
-  },
-  {
-    header: "Verifier",
-    question: "Verify work satisfies requirements after each phase? (adds tokens/time)",
-    multiSelect: false,
-    options: [
-      { label: "Yes (Recommended)", description: "Confirm deliverables match phase goals" },
-      { label: "No", description: "Trust execution, skip verification" }
-    ]
-  },
-  {
-    header: "AI Models",
-    question: "Which AI models for planning agents?",
-    multiSelect: false,
-    options: [
-      { label: "Balanced (Recommended)", description: "Sonnet for most agents — good quality/cost ratio" },
-      { label: "Quality", description: "Opus for research/roadmap — higher cost, deeper analysis" },
-      { label: "Budget", description: "Haiku where possible — fastest, lowest cost" },
-      { label: "Inherit", description: "Use the current session model for all agents (OpenCode /model)" }
-    ]
-  }
-])
-```
-
-Create `.planning/config.json` with all settings (CLI fills in remaining defaults automatically):
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p .planning
-node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" config-new-project '{"mode":"yolo","granularity":"[selected]","parallelization":true|false,"commit_docs":true|false,"model_profile":"quality|balanced|budget|inherit","workflow":{"research":true|false,"plan_check":true|false,"verifier":true|false,"nyquist_validation":true|false,"auto_advance":true}}'
-```
-
-**If commit_docs = No:** Add `.planning/` to `.gitignore`.
-
-**Commit config.json:**
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p .planning
-node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" commit "chore: add project config" --files .planning/config.json
-```
-
-**Persist auto-advance chain flag to config (survives context compaction):**
-
-```bash
-node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" config-set workflow._auto_chain_active true
-```
-
-Proceed to Step 4 (skip Steps 3 and 5).
-
-## 3. Deep Questioning
-
-**If auto mode:** Skip (already handled in Step 2a). Extract project context from provided document instead and proceed to Step 4.

-**Display stage banner:**
-
-```
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- MindForge ► QUESTIONING
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-```
-
-**Open the conversation:**
-
-Ask inline (freeform, NOT AskUserQuestion):
-
-"What do you want to build?"
-
-Wait for their response. This gives you the context needed to ask intelligent follow-up questions.
-
-**Research-before-questions mode:** Check if `workflow.research_before_questions` is enabled in `.planning/config.json` (or the config from init context). When enabled, before asking follow-up questions about a topic area:
-
-1. Do a brief web search for best practices related to what the user described
-2. Mention key findings naturally as you ask questions (e.g., "Most projects like this use X — is that what you're thinking, or something different?")
-3. This makes questions more informed without changing the conversational flow
-
-When disabled (default), ask questions directly as before.
-
-**Follow the thread:**
-
-Based on what they said, ask follow-up questions that dig into their response. Use AskUserQuestion with options that probe what they mentioned — interpretations, clarifications, concrete examples.
-
-Keep following threads. Each answer opens new threads to explore. Ask about:
-
-- What excited them
-- What problem sparked this
-- What they mean by vague terms
-- What it would actually look like
-- What's already decided
-
-Consult `questioning.md` for techniques:
-
-- Challenge vagueness
-- Make abstract concrete
-- Surface assumptions
-- Find edges
-- Reveal motivation
-
-**Check context (background, not out loud):**
-
-As you go, mentally check the context checklist from `questioning.md`. If gaps remain, weave questions naturally. Don't suddenly switch to checklist mode.
-
-**Decision gate:**
-
-When you could write a clear PROJECT.md, use AskUserQuestion:
-
-- 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.
-
-## 4. Write PROJECT.md
-
-**If auto mode:** Synthesize from provided document. No "Ready?" gate was shown — proceed directly to commit.
-
-Synthesize all context into `.planning/PROJECT.md` using the template from `templates/project.md`.
-
-**For greenfield projects:**
-
-Initialize requirements as hypotheses:
-
-```markdown
-## Requirements
-
-### Validated
-
-(None yet — ship to validate)
-
-### Active
-
-- [ ] [Requirement 1]
-- [ ] [Requirement 2]
-- [ ] [Requirement 3]
-
-### Out of Scope
-
-- [Exclusion 1] — [why]
-- [Exclusion 2] — [why]
-```
-
-All Active requirements are hypotheses until shipped and validated.
-
-**For brownfield projects (codebase map exists):**
-
-Infer Validated requirements from existing code:
-
-1. Read `.planning/codebase/ARCHITECTURE.md` and `STACK.md`
-2. Identify what the codebase already does
-3. These become the initial Validated set
-
-```markdown
-## Requirements
-
-### Validated
-
-- ✓ [Existing capability 1] — existing
-- ✓ [Existing capability 2] — existing
-- ✓ [Existing capability 3] — existing
-
-### Active
-
-- [ ] [New requirement 1]
-- [ ] [New requirement 2]
-
-### Out of Scope
-
-- [Exclusion 1] — [why]
-```
-
-**Key Decisions:**
-
-Initialize with any decisions made during questioning:
-
-```markdown
-## Key Decisions
-
-| Decision | Rationale | Outcome |
-|----------|-----------|---------|
-| [Choice from questioning] | [Why] | — Pending |
-```
-
-**Last updated footer:**
-
-```markdown
----
-*Last updated: [date] after initialization*
-```
-
-**Evolution section** (include at the end of PROJECT.md, before the footer):
-
-```markdown
-## Evolution
-
-This document evolves at phase transitions and milestone boundaries.
-
-**After each phase transition** (via `/mindforge-transition`):
-1. Requirements invalidated? → Move to Out of Scope with reason
-2. Requirements validated? → Move to Validated with phase reference
-3. New requirements emerged? → Add to Active
-4. Decisions to log? → Add to Key Decisions
-5. "What This Is" still accurate? → Update if drifted
-
-**After each milestone** (via `/mindforge-complete-milestone`):
-1. Full review of all sections
-2. Core Value check — still the right priority?
-3. Audit Out of Scope — reasons still valid?
-4. Update Context with current state
-```
-
-Do not compress. Capture everything gathered.
-
-**Commit PROJECT.md:**
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p .planning
-node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" commit "docs: initialize project" --files .planning/PROJECT.md
-```
-
-## 5. Workflow Preferences
-
-**If auto mode:** Skip — config was collected in Step 2a. Proceed to Step 5.5.
-
-**Check for global defaults** at `~/.mindforge/defaults.json`. If the file exists, offer to use saved defaults:
-
-```
-AskUserQuestion([
-  {
-    question: "Use your saved default settings? (from ~/.mindforge/defaults.json)",
-    header: "Defaults",
-    multiSelect: false,
-    options: [
-      { label: "Yes (Recommended)", description: "Use saved defaults, skip settings questions" },
-      { label: "No", description: "Configure settings manually" }
-    ]
-  }
-])
-```
-
-If "Yes": read `~/.mindforge/defaults.json`, use those values for config.json, and skip directly to **Commit config.json** below.
-
-If "No" or `~/.mindforge/defaults.json` doesn't exist: proceed with the questions below.
-
-**Round 1 — Core workflow settings (4 questions):**
-
-```
-questions: [
-  {
-    header: "Mode",

-    ]
-  },
-  {

-    multiSelect: false,
-    options: [
-      { label: "Coarse", description: "Fewer, broader phases (3-5 phases, 1-3 plans each)" },
-      { label: "Standard", description: "Balanced phase size (5-8 phases, 3-5 plans each)" },
-      { label: "Fine", description: "Many focused phases (8-12 phases, 5-10 plans each)" }
-    ]
-  },
-  {
-    header: "Execution",
-    question: "Run plans in parallel?",
-    multiSelect: false,
-    options: [

-      { label: "No", description: "Keep .planning/ local-only (add to .gitignore)" }
-    ]
-  }
-]
-```
-
-**Round 2 — Workflow agents:**
-
-These spawn additional agents during planning/execution. They add tokens and time but improve quality.
-
-| Agent | When it runs | What it does |
-|-------|--------------|--------------|
-| **Researcher** | Before planning each phase | Investigates domain, finds patterns, surfaces gotchas |
-| **Plan Checker** | After plan is created | Verifies plan actually achieves the phase goal |
-| **Verifier** | After phase execution | Confirms must-haves were delivered |
-
-All recommended for important projects. Skip for quick experiments.
-
-```
-questions: [
-  {
-    header: "Research",

-]
-```
-
-Create `.planning/config.json` with all settings (CLI fills in remaining defaults automatically):
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p .planning
-node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" config-new-project '{"mode":"[yolo|interactive]","granularity":"[selected]","parallelization":true|false,"commit_docs":true|false,"model_profile":"quality|balanced|budget|inherit","workflow":{"research":true|false,"plan_check":true|false,"verifier":true|false,"nyquist_validation":[false if granularity=coarse, true otherwise]}}'
-```
-
-**Note:** Run `/mindforge-settings` anytime to update model profile, workflow agents, branching strategy, and other preferences.
-
-**If commit_docs = No:**
-
-- Set `commit_docs: false` in config.json
-- Add `.planning/` to `.gitignore` (create if needed)
-
-**If commit_docs = Yes:**
-
-- No additional gitignore entries needed
-
-**Commit config.json:**
-
-```bash
-node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" commit "chore: add project config" --files .planning/config.json
-```
-
-## 5.1. Sub-Repo Detection
-
-**Detect multi-repo workspace:**
-
-Check for directories with their own `.git` folders (separate repos within the workspace):
-
-```bash
-find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -name ".*" -not -name "node_modules" -exec test -d "{}/.git" \; -print
-```
-
-**If sub-repos found:**
-
-Strip the `./` prefix to get directory names (e.g., `./backend` → `backend`).
-
-Use AskUserQuestion:
-
-- header: "Multi-Repo Workspace"
-- question: "I detected separate git repos in this workspace. Which directories contain code that MindForge should commit to?"
-- multiSelect: true
-- options: one option per detected directory
-  - "[directory name]" — Separate git repo
-
-**If user selects one or more directories:**
-
-- Set `planning.sub_repos` in config.json to the selected directory names array (e.g., `["backend", "frontend"]`)
-- Auto-set `planning.commit_docs` to `false` (planning docs stay local in multi-repo workspaces)
-- Add `.planning/` to `.gitignore` if not already present
-
-Config changes are saved locally — no commit needed since `commit_docs` is `false` in multi-repo mode.
-
-**If no sub-repos found or user selects none:** Continue with no changes to config.
-
-## 5.5. Resolve Model Profile
-
-Use models from init: `researcher_model`, `synthesizer_model`, `roadmapper_model`.
-
-## 6. Research Decision
-
-**If auto mode:** Default to "Research first" without asking.
-
-Use AskUserQuestion:
-
-- header: "Research"
-- question: "Research the domain ecosystem before defining requirements?"
-- options:
-  - "Research first (Recommended)" — Discover standard stacks, expected features, architecture patterns
-  - "Skip research" — I know this domain well, go straight to requirements

-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- MindForge ► DEFINING REQUIREMENTS
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-```
-
-**Load context:**
-
-Read PROJECT.md and extract:
-
-- Core value (the ONE thing that must work)
-- Stated constraints (budget, timeline, tech limitations)
-- Any explicit scope boundaries
-
-**If research exists:** Read research/FEATURES.md and extract feature categories.
-
-**If auto mode:**
-
-- Auto-include all table stakes features (users expect these)
-- Include features explicitly mentioned in provided document
-- Auto-defer differentiators not mentioned in document
-- Skip per-category AskUserQuestion loops
-- Skip "Any additions?" question
-- Skip requirements approval gate
-- Generate REQUIREMENTS.md and commit directly
-
-**Present features by category (interactive mode only):**
-
-```
-Here are the features for [domain]:
-
-## Authentication
-**Table stakes:**
-- Sign up with email/password
-- Email verification
-- Password reset
-- Session management
-
-**Differentiators:**
-- Magic link login
-- OAuth (Google, GitHub)
-- 2FA
-
-**Research notes:** [any relevant notes]
-
----
-
-## [Next Category]
-...
-```
-
-**If no research:** Gather requirements through conversation instead.
-
-Ask: "What are the main things users need to be able to do?"
-
-For each capability mentioned:
-
-- Ask clarifying questions to make it specific
-- Probe for related capabilities
-- Group into categories
-
-**Scope each category:**
-
-For each category, use AskUserQuestion:
-
-- header: "[Category]" (max 12 chars)
-- question: "Which [category] features are in v1?"
-- multiSelect: true
-- options:
-  - "[Feature 1]" — [brief description]
-  - "[Feature 2]" — [brief description]
-  - "[Feature 3]" — [brief description]
-  - "None for v1" — Defer entire category
-
-Track responses:
-
-- Selected features → v1 requirements
-- Unselected table stakes → v2 (users expect these)
-- Unselected differentiators → out of scope
-
-**Identify gaps:**
-
-Use AskUserQuestion:
-
-- header: "Additions"
-- question: "Any requirements research missed? (Features specific to your vision)"
-- options:
-  - "No, research covered it" — Proceed
-  - "Yes, let me add some" — Capture additions
-
-**Validate core value:**
-
-Cross-check requirements against Core Value from PROJECT.md. If gaps detected, surface them.
-
-**Generate REQUIREMENTS.md:**
-
-Create `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` with:
-
-- v1 Requirements grouped by category (checkboxes, REQ-IDs)
-- v2 Requirements (deferred)
-- Out of Scope (explicit exclusions with reasoning)
-- Traceability section (empty, filled by roadmap)
-
-**REQ-ID format:** `[CATEGORY]-[NUMBER]` (AUTH-01, CONTENT-02)
-
-**Requirement quality criteria:**
-
-Good requirements are:
-
-- **Specific and testable:** "User can reset password via email link" (not "Handle password reset")
-- **User-centric:** "User can X" (not "System does Y")
-- **Atomic:** One capability per requirement (not "User can login and manage profile")
-- **Independent:** Minimal dependencies on other requirements
-
-Reject vague requirements. Push for specificity:
-
-- "Handle authentication" → "User can log in with email/password and stay logged in across sessions"
-- "Support sharing" → "User can share post via link that opens in recipient's browser"
-
-**Present full requirements list (interactive mode only):**
-
-Show every requirement (not counts) for user confirmation:
-
-```
-## v1 Requirements
-
-### Authentication
-- [ ] **AUTH-01**: User can create account with email/password
-- [ ] **AUTH-02**: User can log in and stay logged in across sessions
-- [ ] **AUTH-03**: User can log out from any page
-
-### Content
-- [ ] **CONT-01**: User can create posts with text
-- [ ] **CONT-02**: User can edit their own posts
