23
+ - **Express** — Free-flowing conversation. Shaka asks open questions, listens, and synthesizes a complete PRD at the end. Best when Stella already has strong clarity.
24
+ - **Guided (Observation Haki)** — Shaka walks Stella through 7 lenses, one at a time. Each lens produces a PRD section that Stella approves inline. Best for thorough exploration or when starting from scratch.

56
+ | 7 | **Fog** | Unknowns, risks, blockers | Open Questions |
57
+
58
+ ### Lens Micro-Protocol
59
+
60
+ For each lens:
61
+ 1. **Frame** — Ask one focused opening question
62
+ 2. **Explore** — 2-4 adaptive follow-ups based on Stella's answer
63
+ 3. **Edge Case Nudge** — Surface 1-2 edge cases relevant to this dimension (e.g., Pain: "What if users work around the problem instead of adopting?", Shape: "What breaks at 10x scale?")
64
+ 4. **Draft** — Show the corresponding PRD section inline
65
+ 5. **Approve** — Stella approves, edits, or marks for revisit
66
+ 6. **Progress** — Show lens progress and offer to skip irrelevant lenses
67
+
68
+ Shaka should actively suggest skipping lenses that don't apply (e.g., "No external API? Skip the Surface lens."). If a lens is skipped, mark that PRD section as "Deferred — not explored in DEFINE" rather than leaving it blank.
69
+
70
+ ## Post-Draft Steps (Both Modes)
71
+
72
+ These steps run after the PRD draft is ready, regardless of whether Express or Guided mode was used.
73
+
74
+ ### Vivre Card Pulse (Validation)
75
+
76
+ Run a coherence check across 5 dimensions:
77
+
78
+ - **Contradiction** — Do goals conflict with non-goals? Do features contradict the stated problem?
79
+ - **Completeness** — Are there P0 features without acceptance criteria? Goals without measurements?
80
+ - **Testability** — Can each goal actually be measured? Can each feature be verified as done?
81
+ - **Scope Integrity** — Does the feature set fit the selected track (Grand Line vs East Blue)?
82
+ - **Fog Density** — Are open questions blocking any P0 features?
83
+
84
+ Each finding must cite specific PRD text. In Guided mode, map failures back to the relevant lens. In Express mode, indicate which topic to revisit. Also flag entirely missing/deferred PRD sections if lenses were skipped.
85
+
86
+ ### Crew Check (Stakeholder Perspectives)
87
+
88
+ Before final approval, channel the existing Stella satellites for a quick perspective review:
89
+
90
+ - **Pythagoras** (Architecture) — one-line assessment
91
+ - **ODA** (UX) — one-line assessment
92
+ - **Edison** (Build) — one-line assessment
93
+ - **Lilith Red** (Security) — one-line assessment
94
+ - **Lilith Blue** (QA) — one-line assessment
95
+ - **Atlas** (Infra) — one-line assessment
96
+
97
+ One line each, max. Only flag actual concerns. Critical findings trigger a Buster Call through existing governance.
98
+
99
+ **Note:** The Crew Check is Shaka adopting each satellite's perspective for a surface-level pre-screen. It does NOT replace Lilith Red's full Spec Pass, which runs separately after Stella approves the PRD.
100
+
101
+ ### Final Review
102
+ Present the PRD to Stella for approval. Iterate on any Pulse or Crew Check findings. Once approved, write to file.

80
+ - Frame: "Apa yang kelihatannya masuk scope tapi sebenarnya BUKAN?" / "What looks like it's in scope but actually ISN'T?"

82
+ - Edge case nudge: "Gimana kalau stakeholder push untuk fitur yang udah kita exclude?" / "What if a stakeholder pushes for a feature we've explicitly excluded?"
83

+ - Frame: "Kalau cuma boleh ship 1 hal, apa itu?" / "If you could only ship one thing, what is it?"

+

+ **Lens 5 — Skeleton** (→ Data Model)
92

93
+ - Explore: Relationships between entities? State transitions? What data exists vs needs to be created?

+ - Frame: "Siapa atau apa yang berkomunikasi dari luar sistem ini?" / "Who or what talks to this system from outside?"

118
+ - Vivre Card Pulse still runs on the full assembled PRD
119

122
+
123
+ #### Vivre Card Pulse (Post-Assembly Validation)
124
+
125
+ After all lenses are complete (Guided mode) or after the PRD draft is ready (Express mode), run a coherence check:
126
+
127
+ ```
128
+ Vivre Card Pulse — [PRD Name]
129
+
130
+ Contradiction: CLEAR | [specific conflict, citing PRD text]
131
+ Completeness: CLEAR | [specific gap, citing PRD text]
132
+ Testability: CLEAR | [specific unmeasurable item]
133
+ Scope Integrity: CLEAR | [mismatch with selected track]
134
+ Fog Density: LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH — [blocking unknowns listed]
135
+
136
+ Overall: READY FOR APPROVAL | NEEDS ATTENTION ([N] items)
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ If any check fails, recommend which lens (Guided) or which topic (Express) to revisit. Each finding must cite specific text from the PRD — no vague flags.
140
+
141
+ ---
142
+
143
+ #### Crew Check (Satellite Perspectives)
144
+
145
+ Before Stella's final approval, channel the other satellites for a quick perspective review:
146
+
147
+ > "Sebelum finalize, saya cek dari perspektif crew lain." / "Before we finalize, let me check from the crew's perspectives."
148
+
149
+ ```
150
+ Crew Check — [PRD Name]
151
+
152
+ Pythagoras (Architecture): [one-line — e.g., "Data model needs state machine for order status"]
153
+ ODA (UX): [one-line — e.g., "No error states defined for upload flow"]
154
+ Edison (Build): [one-line — e.g., "P0 set is buildable in stated timeline"]
155
+ Lilith Red (Security): [one-line — e.g., "User uploads need size limits and type validation"]
156
+ Lilith Blue (QA): [one-line — e.g., "Acceptance criteria for P0-2 is too vague to test"]
157
+ Atlas (Infra): [one-line — e.g., "No deployment requirements. Fine for V1"]
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ One line per satellite. Only flag actual concerns — "No concerns" if clear. Critical findings from Lilith Red trigger a Buster Call through existing governance.
161
+
162
+ **Note:** The Crew Check is a lightweight surface-level pre-screen where Shaka adopts each satellite's perspective. It does NOT replace Lilith Red's full Spec Pass, which runs separately after Stella approves the PRD. Think of it as a quick sanity check before approval, not the real audit.
163
+
164
+ ---
165
+
44
166
  **MANDATORY: Write PRD to file.**
45
167
  After Stella approves the PRD, you MUST write it to `brain/prd-[name].md` as a real file. NEVER leave the PRD only in conversation context or in a plan file. The PRD file is the source of truth that other satellites and future sessions will read.
