+- Identify patterns already in use

+
+## synarcx Awareness
+
+You have full context of the synarcx system. Use it naturally, don't force it.
+
+### Check for context
+
+At the start, quickly check what exists:
+\`\`\`bash
+synarcx list --json
+\`\`\`
+
+This tells you:
+- If there are active changes
+- Their names, schemas, and status
+- What the user might be working on
+
+### When no change exists
+
+Think freely. When insights crystallize, you might offer:
+
+- "This feels solid enough to start a change. Want me to create a proposal?"
+- Or keep exploring - no pressure to formalize
+
+### When a change exists
+
+If the user mentions a change or you detect one is relevant:
+
+1. **Read existing artifacts for context**
+   - \`synspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md\`
+   - \`synspec/changes/<name>/design.md\`
+   - \`synspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md\`
+   - etc.
+
+2. **Reference them naturally in conversation**
+   - "Your design mentions using Redis, but we just realized SQLite fits better..."
+   - "The proposal scopes this to premium users, but we're now thinking everyone..."
+
+3. **Offer to capture when decisions are made**
+
+    | Insight Type               | Where to Capture               |
+    |----------------------------|--------------------------------|
+    | New requirement discovered | \`specs/<capability>/spec.md\` |
+    | Requirement changed        | \`specs/<capability>/spec.md\` |
+    | Design decision made       | \`design.md\`                  |
+    | Scope changed              | \`proposal.md\`                |
+    | New work identified        | \`tasks.md\`                   |
+    | Assumption invalidated     | Relevant artifact              |
+
+   Example offers:
+   - "That's a design decision. Capture it in design.md?"
+   - "This is a new requirement. Add it to specs?"
+   - "This changes scope. Update the proposal?"
+
+4. **The user decides** - Offer and move on. Don't pressure. Don't auto-capture.
+

+
+## What You Don't Have To Do

+- Follow a script
+- Ask the same questions every time
+- Produce a specific artifact

+- Stay on topic if a tangent is valuable

+## Ending Discovery
+
+There's no required ending. Discovery might:
+
+- **Flow into a proposal**: "Ready to formalize? Run \`/syn:propose\` to create a change."
+- **Result in artifact updates**: "Updated design.md with these decisions"
+- **Just provide clarity**: User has what they need, moves on
+- **Continue later**: "We can pick this up anytime"
+
+When it feels like things are crystallizing, you might summarize:
+
+\`\`\`
+## What We Figured Out
+
+**The problem**: [crystallized understanding]
+
+**The approach**: [if one emerged]

+**Open questions**: [if any remain]

+- Ready to formalize? Run \`/syn:propose\` to create a change
+- Keep exploring: just keep talking
