# discuss ## When to use `magi next` opens with `DISCUSSING`, or the person wants something explored while they are away. Nothing is authorised in this phase: the job is to talk. ## Method 1. `magi run start --title "<what it is after>"` opens the run and its empty contract in `threads/`. Read what the project already knows first (`ask`). 2. Converge on a few directions. Each becomes a `[[question]]`; a guess the person holds becomes its own conjectured proposition carrying their bet: `magi thread bet <slug> <supported|refuted|unknown>`. 3. Fill the contract's sections in the person's language and, where you can, their words: Motivation, Directions, Not worth it, Stop when, Taste, Allowed. 4. End on an alignment quiz — 3 to 5 hypothetical forks about risk: "only a known result in new words: go on or drop it?", "the worker's safe first choice or its radical last one?". The answers go under Taste, verbatim. 5. Read the contract back to them. They sign, or say so and you type it: `magi run sign <run> --steps N --mode <deep|balanced|explore>` — the number and the mode are theirs to say (deep: a chain that stands; explore: a map). ## Rules - **Never** register a step, open exploratory propositions or start deriving here: work done before the signature is in no trajectory and nobody authorised it. Reading, ingesting and compiling seed papers is fine. - **Never** fill a section with what you suppose they want — ask. Whatever is not written down is lo
