Pre-implementation thinking — research the problem space, weigh approaches with devil's-advocate rigor, decide what's reversible and conventional while surfacing the load-bearing forks for the user, and emit one apex-ready plan. Use whenever a non-trivial task needs thinking, comparison, or decomposition before code — even when the user doesn't say "forge" (e.g. "should we", "what's the best way", "compare", "evaluate", "pros and cons", "think through", "plan this", "break this down", "spec out", "create issues for", "map out the steps"). Produces a Decision by default (terminal — discuss-then-build); promotes to a Spec with prioritized workstreams when the build path is clear. NOT implementation (→ /apex or /oneshot).

# Forge <!-- canonical:writing-rules:start --> ## Important — Writing rules These rules govern every prose artifact this skill emits — READMEs, CHANGELOGs, commit messages, PR bodies, release notes, doc paragraphs, non-trivial comments. Apply them at draft time, verify before output. - Match the surrounding style — punctuation, capitalization, backtick conventions, em-dash vs parens, bullet style. - Every sentence changes the reader's understanding. Cut it otherwise. - Front-load the verb — "Creates", not "This helps you create". - Concrete over abstract. Lists for ≥3 enumerable items. - Assert positively. Reserve negation for real constraints (`NEVER commit secrets`). - No marketing words: powerful, robust, seamlessly, leverage, unlock, comprehensive, delightful. - No AI tells: delve, tapestry, intricate, pivotal, testament, underscore, crucial, garner, showcase, additionally, moreover, furthermore, indeed. - After drafting English prose, invoke `/humanize-en` if installed. <!-- canonical:writing-rules:end --> Pre-implementation thinking for: $ARGUMENTS ## Objective Take any starting point — a question, a rough idea, a brainstorm, a GitHub issue — research it wide, stress-test the options, decide every call inside the engineering mandate, and emit one artifact `/apex` can build from. Forge is the "think" half; `apex` is the "build" half. The seam between them carries the one human checkpoint that matters: review the plan before any code. The discriminator is the Decid
