+ System-level feature discussion for orchestrator mode.
148
+
149
+ **Opening:**
150
+ ```
151
+ Let's talk about what you're building across the system.
152
+
153
+ What's the {feature-name} feature? What system-level behavior does it add?
154
+ ```
155
+
156
+ Wait for response.
157
+
158
+ **Follow the thread:**
159
+ Based on their response, ask follow-up questions that:
160
+ - Identify which projects are affected ("Which parts of the system does this touch?")
161
+ - Explore cross-project behavior ("How would data flow between projects for this?")
162
+ - Identify contract implications ("Does this change how projects communicate?")
163
+ - Understand project responsibilities ("What does each project need to do?")
164
+
165
+ **System-level probes (follow the conversation, don't march through):**
166
+ - "Which projects does this involve?"
167
+ - "What crosses project boundaries here?"
168
+ - "Does this change any existing communication patterns?"
169
+ - "What's each project's responsibility for this feature?"
170
+ - "Are there shared data structures or APIs that need to align?"
171
+ - "What's the simplest cross-project version that would work?"
172
+
173
+ **Use system-level context from codebase docs:**
174
+ - Reference PROJECTS.md for project responsibilities
175
+ - Reference TOPOLOGY.md for existing communication patterns
176
+ - Reference CONTRACTS.md for existing shared interfaces
177
+ - Reference CONCERNS.md for system-level gotchas that might apply
178
+
179
+ **Check understanding:**
180
+ After 4-6 exchanges, summarize with project involvement:
181
+ ```
182
+ So if I understand correctly:
183
+ - This feature [system-level behavior]
184
+ - It involves these projects:
185
+ - {project-1}: [responsibility]
186
+ - {project-2}: [responsibility]
187
+ - Cross-project interaction: [how projects coordinate]
188
+ - Key constraint: [constraint]
189
+
190
+ Does that capture it, or should we dig into anything more?
191
+ ```
192
+
193
+ **When to move on:**
194
+ - User confirms understanding is correct
195
+ - You have a clear project list with per-project responsibilities
196
+ - Cross-project behavior is understood

205
+ From the discussion, identify involved projects. Cross-reference with:
206
+ - CONTRACTS.md — which projects have existing relationships relevant to this feature
207
+ - PROJECTS.md — project responsibilities that align with feature needs
208
+
209

226
+ **Compute unblocked work:**
227
+ From the combined state and dependency graph:
228
+ 1. Find all phases with status "ready" (dependencies satisfied, not started/in-progress)
229
+ 2. Among "ready" phases, prioritize by:
230
+ - Phases that unblock the most downstream work
231
+ - Earlier phases within a project
232
+ - Projects with less progress (balance workload)
233
+
234
+ **If target_project specified (from argument):**
235
+ Filter to only that project's unblocked work.
236
+
237
+ **If no unblocked work:**
238
+ ```
239
+ All available phases are blocked or complete.
240
