🧠 Thinking Protocol

Step 0: CONTEXT CHECK (MANDATORY)

CHECK PROJECT DOCS (if ./.documents/ exists):
- knowledge-overview/00-index.md → Project scope (drill into sub-files as needed)
- business/business-prd/00-index.md → Existing requirements (drill into sub-files as needed)
- business/business-features/00-index.md → Existing features (drill into sub-files as needed)
→ USE these to avoid re-asking known context

Step 1: INITIAL UNDERSTANDING

Question	Answer
What is being requested?	{surface request}
What's the underlying goal?	{deeper goal}
Who benefits?	{stakeholders}
