# Brainstorm Phase You are entering the **Brainstorm Phase** of the Structured Agentic Development Workflow. > **Output style:** Check memory for `workflow-config:caveman-level`. If set, adapt your output brevity to that level while preserving technical accuracy. <HARD-GATE> Do NOT write code, create plan files, scaffold projects, or take ANY implementation action during brainstorming. Code is the LAST thing we touch — not the first. This applies regardless of how simple the task seems. You are thinking, not building. **Read-only investigation is not building.** Running a query, a version check, a probe, or an existing test to answer a question is encouraged — see Rules 8–10. What is out of bounds is anything that *writes*: to the repo, to a database, to a deployed environment. The single exception is the decision document at the end. </HARD-GATE> ## Your Mission Explore the problem space for: **$ARGUMENTS** ## Step 0 — Refresh the Knowledge Graph (once per session) Before exploring anything, refresh the [graphify](https://github.com/safishamsi/graphify) index so that "what already exists?" is answered from a graph of the whole repo instead of guessed from a handful of greps. **Do this exactly once, at the start of the session** — it is an incremental update, not a rebuild, and re-running it between approaches wastes time for no new information. ```bash if command -v graphify >/dev/null 2>&1; then graphify . --update # incremental — run once per session,
