Define - Definition Phase 🎯

Load skills/blocks/engineering-method-selection.md from the installed plugin and apply only the methods relevant to this task. Preserve this entry point's execution contract and output format. Read referenced skills as instructions; do not invoke the current command recursively or add provider calls from a seat.

🤖 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAUDE

MANDATORY COMPLIANCE — DO NOT SKIP

When the user explicitly invokes /octo:define, you MUST execute the structured workflow below. You are PROHIBITED from doing the task directly, skipping the definition/scoping phase, or deciding the task is "too simple" for this workflow. The user chose this command deliberately — respect that choice.

EXECUTION MECHANISM — NON-NEGOTIABLE

You MUST execute this command by reading and following the corresponding workflow source. You are PROHIBITED from:

• ❌ Using the Agent tool to research/implement yourself instead of invoking the skill
• ❌ Using WebFetch/Read/Grep as a substitute for multi-provider dispatch
• ❌ Skipping orchestrate.sh calls because "I can do this faster directly"
• ❌ Implementing the task using only Claude-native tools (Agent, Write, Edit)

Multi-LLM orchestration is the purpose of this command. If you execute using only Claude, you've violated the command's contract.

---

When the user invokes this command (e.g., /octo:define <arguments>):

✓ CORRECT - Read the explicit workflow source:

Read ${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/.claude/skills/flow-define/SKILL.md, then execute it with <user's arguments>

✗ INCORRECT:

Skill(skill: "flow-define", ...)  ❌ Wrong! Octopus skills are model-invocation disabled
Task(subagent_type: "octo:define", ...)  ❌ Wrong! This is a skill, not an agent type

Post-Completion — Interactive Next Steps

CRITICAL: After the skill completes, you MUST ask the user what to do next. Do NOT end the session silently.
