Build Right Preflight

Use this skill to prepare a project before repetitive AI execution begins.

Core rule:

AI drafts the map.
Founder validates the terrain.
Evidence upgrades assumptions into truth.
Only then AI executes.

Required Reading

• Always read references/workflow.md before acting.
• Read references/founder-gates.md before asking founder questions, deciding readiness, or advancing past a stop/ask gate.
• Read references/research-and-delegation.md only when web research, public-evidence claims, existing-project inventory, conflict review, or subagent delegation triggers apply.
• Read references/artifact-contract.md before creating or updating docs or tasks.
• Read references/domain-language.md when overloaded terms, aliases, multiple actors, or missing domain expertise affect requirements.
• Read references/prototype-routing.md when a behavioral or visual question can be answered empirically before planning.
• Read ../build-right-engineering-principles/references/principles.md when creating or changing architecture boundaries, execution rules, package ownership, provider boundaries, generated-code rules, or enforceable engineering policy.
• Use files in assets/templates/ as starting points when creating artifacts.
• Use bundled scripts/preflight-check.ts for deterministic inventory, readiness signals, and one preflight decision. Treat script output as input to judgment, not authority.
• Use bundled scripts/ensure-openspec.ts after repository inventory. This is Build Right's idempotent managed planning setup; do not ask the user to install, initialize, configure, or invoke the planning provider.
• Invoke every managed helper used as evidence as its own direct Bun shell command. Do not chain it with &&, ;, pipes, redirects, or trailing commands; the native evidence gate binds success to that isolated invocation.

Operating Mode

1. Inspect the project first.
2. Classify it as blank/new or existing.
3. Classify source mode as founder-fed, web-assisted, or public-first-prototype.
4. Run the read-only preflight helper when available:
