Render a one-screen intent brief (Goal/Scope/Approach/Limits/Verify/Won't-do/Contradiction) before implementing ambiguous task-shaped prompts, triggered by the prompt_brief op (UserPromptSubmit via hooks/nav_dispatch.py). Confirms scope with max 2 open questions before touching files; detects brief drift mid-task.

# Navigator Intent Brief Skill
Front-load the scope negotiation. When a prompt is task-shaped but ambiguous,
render a one-screen INTENT BRIEF and get confirmation **before** writing code —
turning 2-4 correction exchanges into 1 confirmation exchange.
## Why This Exists
Ambiguity is not complexity. A small task can be highly ambiguous ("fix the
bug" — which bug?) while a large one can be fully specified. The expensive
failure mode is implementing on guessed scope: rework burns tokens on
undo/redo, pollutes context with dead ends, and forces mid-feature compacts.
## When This Fires
