metawork-articulate

metawork-articulate

Status: v0.1 stub. This is the first skill to be implemented per the build order — it's the elicitation tool that lets us thicken the methodology doc through real practice.

Purpose

Elicit Meta Work as a methodology from a practitioner and produce PR-ready markdown sections for metawork-methodology.

Inputs

• A topic to articulate: a pillar name, an integration point between pillars, a glossary distinction, a breakdown pattern, a daily-rhythm refinement, etc.
• Optionally: existing draft material the user wants to extend.

Outputs

• A markdown file or section, ready to PR into Integral-Productivity/metawork-methodology.
• A summary of any new glossary terms introduced (for inclusion in CONTEXT.md of the plugin repo).
• Optional: notes for the scholar skill on Socratic prompts that worked well during the elicitation (these become teaching scaffolds).

Method

Mirror grill-with-docs's discipline:

1. Interview relentlessly about every aspect of the topic until shared understanding.
2. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies one-by-one.
3. For each question, provide a recommended answer.
4. Ask one question at a time; wait for feedback.
5. Challenge against the existing glossary; sharpen fuzzy language; stress-test with concrete scenarios; cross-reference with existing methodology content.

Where output goes

If metawork-methodology is cloned at ~/GitHub/metawork-methodology/:

• Pillar drafts → docs/pillars/<name>.md
• Methodology narrative additions → docs/methodology.md
• New glossary terms → propose CONTEXT.md edits in both repos (methodology and plugin)

If not cloned, write the draft to the current working directory with metawork-draft-<topic>.md and instruct the user how to land it.

Implementation notes

• Use the superpowers:brainstorming skill's interview discipline.
• Keep sessions tight (45–90 minutes) so output is review-able as one PR.
• After each session, summarize: what was articulated, what was deferred, what new questions emerged.
