+    phewsh clarify                    Guided: a 5-question walk that aligns your thinking, then compiles

+    Walks you through the five strongest nodes of the Intent Compass —

     Writes .intent/pps.json as the source of truth.
     Generates vision.md, plan.md, next.md as human-readable views.
