Process

1. Gather project info:

   • Project name
   • Client name
   • Project type (greenfield/brownfield)
   • Brief description

2. Create configuration:

   • Set consultant identity from global config or prompt
   • Configure rates
   • Set language preferences

3. Initialize state files:

   • Empty project-context.md ready for Discovery
   • workflow-status.yaml at phase 0 or 1
   • sprint-status.yaml with empty sprint

4. Detect project type:

   • Greenfield: Start at Discovery
   • Brownfield: Start at Analysis (analyze-codebase)

After Initialization

Next step will be:

• Greenfield: /clarify or /frame (Discovery phase)
• Brownfield: /analyze-codebase (Analysis phase)
