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 this mode. 2. **Agent-invoked mini-spec mode.** `/cheese` calls into `/mold` at tier 1 of its escalation (see `skills/cheese/SKILL.md` § Escalation) when the cook fast-path checks all pass and a spec needs to materialise before `/cook --auto` runs. No dialogue, no handshake — the agent writes a mini-spec directly from the user's input (plus any tier-2 `/culture` / `/briesearch` synthesis) and returns the spec path. See `## Agent-invoked mini-spec mode` below. Do not use the user-invoked ceremony for free-form discussion with no artifact intent (`/culture`), direct implementation (`/cook`), or research-only questions (`/briesearch`). ## Flow 1. **Bounds pass** — before routing, run one Explore-style bounds round for *every* input shape: map the problem's edges to candidate goals and **non-goals**, and put the consequential ones to the user as questions rather than assuming them. Open the per-round decision ledger here (`Decided / Asking / [AGENT-DECIDED]`; see `## Rules`). Tier it — a genuinely clear input gets a single fast confirm of the bounds, not a full A/B/C/D menu — but it is never skipped, so asking precedes any output. See `references/modes.md`.
