## Process
1. **Explore project context** - files, docs, recent commits
2. **Ask clarifying questions** - one at a time, prefer multiple choice
3. **Propose 2-3 approaches** - with tradeoffs and recommendation
4. **Present design in sections** - get approval after each section
5. **Write design doc** - save to `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md`
6. **Transition to writing-plans** - the ONLY next step
