## Launch prompt

```
/wgl-brainstorming https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/issues/25

Brainstorm + write the Solution-Design spec for issue #25 —
"wgl-capture MVP — signal in session → typed, source-linked Gitea issues"
(Feature under Epic #24 "wgl-capture — the Capture phase skill").

Canonical design: engineering RFC proposals/capture-phase-and-gitea-native-flow.md
(§2.5 Capture · §5 issue template · §6 acceptance · §11.1 wgl-capture).
```

## Outcome

A **brainstorming** session that produced the reviewed **Solution Design for the
`wgl-capture` MVP** (Feature #25, Epic #24) and merged it to `main` via **PR #29**
(`e2103c6`). Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-09-wgl-capture-mvp-design.md`,
landed at **v0.3.0** after two in-session reframes driven by operator review. No
plugin version bump — a brainstorming session ships a spec, not code. The slice
checklist was written onto Feature #25 (the RFC §8.1/§9 required brainstorming
output). No skill was built; that is the downstream `wgl-planning-and-executing`
work (the slices).

## Pre-state

- Source at `main` = v0.23.0 (`6ed6a23`) at session open; a **concurrent**
  dev-claude-plugin session 0030 (OHM / `ohm-presence-notice`, v0.24.0) was running
  in the **same shared checkout** and merged PR #28 mid-session.
- Stored `Next /goal` = Patchwatch rfc-app remediation (parked at a depth call);
  this session was an explicit-goal interrupt (launched on #25) and did **not**
  consume it.
- Issue #25 = `type/feature`, `triaged:accepted`, `priority/P0`; canonical design
  = the engineering Capture RFC, present only on branch `proposals/capture-phase`
  (not engineering `main`).

## Turn-by-turn arc (uncurated — includes the reframes and the collision)

1. **Open + claim.** Got start time; read #25 + parent Epic #24 via `gitea-api.sh`
   (issue-scoped token); peeked (`claim-session-id.sh --dry-run`) — no concurrent
   *in-history* placeholders flagged — and claimed session **0029**
   (`--type brainstorming`). Read the Capture RFC from commit `f03abc4` on
   `proposals/capture-phase`. Verified clean pushed `main` baseline; seeded the
   transcript Plan; noted the Patchwatch goal is overridden by this explicit launch.
2. **Explore + clarify (superpowers:brainstorming).** Mapped the integration
   surface (`claim-session-id.sh` types, finalize Step-0 dispatch, the 4-type
   session gate, `file-feedback.sh` as the filing analog). Asked 4 design questions
   → review gate, target tracker, signal intake, WSJF depth.
3. **Spec v0.1.0 — batch model.** Wrote the Solution Design as a one-shot "distill
   a signal → confirm → file" gesture. Committed + pushed `feat/wgl-capture-mvp-spec`,
   opened **PR #29** (initially v0.1.0). Presented for review.
4. **Reframe → v0.2.0 (operator).** Operator: capture is an *interactive working
   session*, context assembled in-session (external signal optional). Re-asked
   scope → "assembled in-session, external signal optional" + "needs a rethink".
   Proposed a draft-state model; operator clarified the model = **author each issue
   in place on the live Gitea issue, section by section**, reviewed rendered on
   Gitea. Rewrote to v0.2.0.
5. **§5.4 COLLISION (live).** While pushing v0.2.0, the concurrent 0030 session had
   reset the shared checkout's branch/HEAD: my v0.1.0 commit `2d10ff7` was swept
   into `main` via PR #28's branch, my v0.2.0 reframe got committed onto
   `feat/ohm-guiding-principles` as `5113a47`, and the working file reverted to
   v0.1.0. **Recovered:** backed up v0.2.0, re-authored on a fresh branch
   `feat/wgl-capture-spec` off `main` in an **isolated worktree** (the §5.4-prescribed
   move), re-pushed, re-opened the PR cleanly. Nothing lost.
6. **Slice checklist (operator caught a gap).** Operator asked what Gitea issues
   were being created. Answer: only the runtime *output* issues the skill would
   create — and I had **not** emitted the slice checklist onto Feature #25, which
   the RFC §8.1/§9 makes a *required* brainstorming output. Fixed: PATCHed #25's
   Decomposition into a SLICE-1/2/3 (+ deferred SLICE-4) checklist.
7. **Reframe → v0.3.0 (operator).** Operator reconsidered the review surface:
   persist sections to a **markdown file**, reviewed in **VS Code**, rather than the
   live Gitea issue — converging on **markdown in the app's content repo** (so it's
   reviewable both in VS Code and, once published, on rfc.wiggleverse.org).
   Settled: `<content>/issues/<slug>.md` (an `issues/` collection alongside
   `specs/`/`plans/`), target = the app's own content repo, **working-tree only**
   (skill never commits/pushes), issue **filed from the approved file**. Rewrote to
   v0.3.0 in the worktree, pushed to PR #29.
8. **Approval + merge.** Operator approved ("This looks great"). Merged PR #29 to
   `main` (`e2103c6`), removed the worktree, fast-forwarded local `main`.
9. **Finalize.** This wrap-up: memory updated, transcript published. Brainstorming
   addendum `submit-spec.sh` no-op'd (plugin has no content role — the spec is
   recorded in the plugin's own `docs/superpowers/specs/` via PR #29 instead).

## Cut state (what landed)

- **`main` @ `e2103c6`** carries the spec at **v0.3.0**.
- **Feature #25** carries its slice checklist (SLICE-1 plumbing · SLICE-2 filing
  layer · SLICE-3 the interactive skill; SLICE-4 resume + the publish step are
  deferred follow-ups).
- No code/skill built; no version bump (correct for a brainstorming session).

## Loose ends / gotchas for next time

- **Q2 (live):** the plugin's `app.json` has **no content role** → capturing
  *about the plugin itself* has nowhere to draft. Give the plugin a content role,
  or dogfood `wgl-capture` against an app that already has a content repo.
- **Q1:** intake boundary — dev-provided URL/file/text *in*, automated recorder
  discovery *out* (unconfirmed; my recommendation stands).
- **Q3:** does `rfc-app` need front-matter in `issues/<slug>.md` to render on
  rfc.wiggleverse.org (publish-time; informs the draft template).
- **RFC §11.3 unbuilt:** `wgl-brainstorming` does not yet emit the slice checklist
  onto the Feature issue (had to do it by hand) — worth filing/building.
- **§5.4 leftover artifacts (operator's to clear — deletes were permission-denied):**
  stray commit `5113a47` on the merged `feat/ohm-guiding-principles`; stale branch
  `feat/wgl-capture-mvp-spec` (= `2d10ff7`, ⊂ main). Worktree already removed. An
  untracked `…-design.pdf` (operator's review export) left in the working tree,
  not committed.

## Deferred decisions

_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls. All substantive **design** decisions this
session were made WITH the operator (AskUserQuestion + dialogue), so the only
entry is the recovery improvisation:_

- **§5.4 concurrent-checkout collision recovery.** Chose to recover via an isolated
  worktree + a fresh branch (`feat/wgl-capture-spec`) off `main` and re-open the PR,
  rather than force-pushing the stale branch (force-push / remote-branch-delete were
  also permission-denied). Alternative considered: reset the stale branch in place
  (rejected — risked colliding again with the concurrent session). Left the stray
  commit / stale branch for the operator to delete.

## Next-session prompt

```
/goal wgl-capture SLICE-1 — tracked-lite capture session plumbing: accept --type capture
in claim-session-id.sh, add a `capture` branch to wgl-session-finalize (publish the
transcript only, no spec/plan submit), and add the 5th type to hooks/session-gate.md,
per docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-09-wgl-capture-mvp-design.md §7.2 and Feature #25's
slice checklist
```

SLICE-2 (`capture-issues.sh` + `ensure-capture-labels.sh`) is parallelizable;
SLICE-3 (the skill) wants spec **Q2** resolved first. The **Patchwatch** rfc-app
remediation goal remains **parked** (blocked on a depth call) — switch to it
explicitly if preferred. Read `memory/project_dev_claude_plugin.md` (the 0029
entry + the `Next /goal:` / `Parked goal:` fields) before starting.
