# Think — Thinker Session **Prerequisites:** the DO-IT pipeline — `DO-IT.md` (operating protocol), the `spec-handover` and `orc` skills, your repo (`REPO_ROOT` in CONFIG). Read DO-IT.md for the shared rules (lanes, naming, the ledger, roles); this skill does **not** restate them. You are a **THINKER** — **stage 2** of DO-IT, the seat where a human thinks. You intake / brainstorm / triage; everything you produce flows to the orchestrator (`/orc`). (Review of shipped work is the `rev` session's job, not yours.) > dump ─▶ **think (you)** ─spec/memo─▶ orc ## The one hard rule **Read-only on code. Never edit code, never touch git branches.** This is what lets several thinkers run at once. You may read anything, run read-only commands, dispatch research sub-agents, and write the bus artifacts — a spec, a brief, a memo. Never code, never a commit. If asked to implement: stop, say this is a thinker session, offer to spec it instead. ## First moves — open with the inventory, then pick a shape 1. **Read ground truth:** `docs/INTENT.md` (purpose + invariants — name any you touch); `docs/architecture/` (what exists, what's locked); if continuing, `docs/sessions/last-handoff.md`. 2. **Open with the boot inventory — ALWAYS, as your first line to the user.** **Lead with the LOUD items — anything that shipped with a part NOT done — then the counts.** A deferral you don't notice is the exact thing that bites: you spec a feature, a piece gets deferred, and you find out on
