# Phase 1 — Intake

One free-text line + one click batch of 5 questions. Only Phase 1a is typed.

## 1a — Ask for the project goal

Emit a regular message (NOT AskUserQuestion):

> Describe the project in one line: what do you want to produce / prove /
> ship, at what scope (feature / service / paper / proof)? Reply in one
> message. The main agent and sub-agents will read this verbatim.

Store the reply as `GOAL`. Derive `PROJECT_SLUG = kebab-case(first 4-6
meaningful words of GOAL)`, ≤ 40 chars, ASCII only.

## 1b — Shape click (AskUserQuestion, ONE batch of 5)

Store answers as `PROJECT_TYPE`, `THEORY_PART`, `FANOUT`, `MAIN_AGENT`,
`DB_MODE`.

## Verify-criterion

- `GOAL` non-empty.
- `PROJECT_SLUG` matches `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{2,39}$`.
- All 5 click answers are exactly one of the labels above.
- If `MAIN_AGENT == "spawn specialist"` — Phase 2 begins with a handoff to
  `/new-agent` before any ledger fork.
- If `DB_MODE == "file-only"` — Phase 2 skips the `kei-ledger fork` call
  but STILL writes the 6-file bundle. Report this deviation in the final
  report so the user sees the ledger SSoT was bypassed by explicit choice.
