moldlisted

Converge a fuzzy idea or half-formed feature into an approved spec through an iterative, grounded design dialogue. Use when the user has a fuzzy idea or design direction — phrases like "let's design X", "I'm thinking about Y", "what should the API for Z look like", "shape this into a spec", "what would it take to build/set up X", "I want to add a feature that…", "/mold". Use even when the user is "just thinking out loud" if they want the dialogue to leave behind a written artifact. Do NOT use for free-form discussion with no artifact intent (`/culture`), direct implementation (`/cook`), or research-only questions (`/briesearch`).

# /mold Two modes, by analogy to `/culture`: 1. **User-invoked full ceremony (default).** The user typed `/mold` (or `/cheese` routed an explicit fuzzy-design ask straight here). Runs the full Explore/Ground/Shape/Sketch/Grill/Diagnose dialogue and the two-key handshake before any spec is written; the Flow below describes it. 2. **Agent-invoked mini-spec mode.** `/cheese` calls into `/mold` at tier 1 of its escalation (`skills/cheese/SKILL.md` § Escalation) when the cook fast-path checks all pass and a spec must materialise before the gate-applicability route runs. No dialogue, no handshake. See `## Agent-invoked mini-spec mode` below. ## Flow 1. **Bounds pass** — map every input's goals and **non-goals** before routing; ask the user rather than assume. Open the `Decided / Asking / [AGENT-DECIDED]` ledger. Clear work gets one fast confirm; full-spec work gets an upgrade-tier warning. 2. **Route** — choose the secondary mode from `references/modes.md`, announce it, and correct false premises first. 3. **Dialogue** — consequential forks are the user's to pick. Supply options, trade-offs, and evidence before asking; ground critical claims through code, the [Validate Cycle](references/validate-cycle.md), or a [Prototype Cycle](references/prototype-cycle.md). Resolve contradictions and render the decision map after three consecutive fork questions or on request. 4. **Sketch** — for work spanning modules or adding a public interface, run `references/shape-check.md`, bind identi
