## Runtime persistence
`.principled/` (in cwd) is the natural runtime emplacement for principled-related artifacts. At intake, read whatever is there if any — prior context may inform this work. When this skill produces durable artifacts, write them to `.principled/` too. Skip if absent.
## Routing Guidance
- **CAPTURE mode**: IMMEDIATELY to track new intent.
- **REFINE mode**: BEFORE implementation to detail specs.
- **IMPLEMENT mode**: To execute refined tasks with verification.
- **DOCUMENT mode**: AFTER implementation to update docs.

## Decision Router
### CAPTURE Mode
IF user wants to capture a task, add to backlog, or log an idea → CAPTURE
### REFINE Mode
IF user mentions a draft task file path OR needs to detail implementation steps → REFINE
### IMPLEMENT Mode
IF user needs to implement a refined task with automated verification → IMPLEMENT
### DOCUMENT Mode
IF user wants to update documentation after code changes → DOCUMENT

# CAPTURE Mode
Create a draft task specification file from user intent. Preserves the original user prompt verbatim.
Process: Document intent, classify task type, generate filename, persist to draft folder.
---
# REFINE Mode
Refine a draft task specification through a coordinated multi-phase workflow (Analysis, Architecture, Decomposition, Parallelization, Verification).
You MUST read `references/refine-workflow.md` BEFORE executing any REFINE commands. Do not make assumptions without reading this file.
