What it does

Produces an evidence-bounded spike for an uncertainty blocking estimation, feasibility, or design. Use when the user wants to frame, investigate, resume, or conclude one. Not for general research or implementation.

Transversal rules

  • Keep product and lifecycle decisions with the user.
  • Separate evidence, decisions, and assumptions.
  • Preserve source links and existing edits.
  • Ask natural questions; never expose actions, references, or unchanged state.
  • Require explicit approval or caller-provided bounded authority before any write.
  • Bound the question; never answer beyond its stop condition.
