Phase 1: Define the Topic

$ARGUMENTS

1. Read strategy Section 3 -- verify this qualifies as a debate
2. Grep the codebase for files related to the topic
3. Read relevant SKILL.md files, docs, or shared references
4. Identify existing patterns that the proposal might change

Phase 2: Classify Debate Type

[RFC]

[RFC]

[Proposal]

[RFC]

[Poll]

Phase 3: Compose RFC Discussion

discussion_formatting.md

• Add

  ## Unresolved Details

  section after Open Questions — implementation details not yet decided, to be resolved during development
• Add

  ## Decision Criteria

  section — how the decision will be made (metrics, feedback threshold)
• Minimum 2 alternatives in the Alternatives table

Phase 4: Compose Poll (for Prioritization type)

## {Topic}

{1-2 sentence context}

**Vote by reacting to the options below** (each option is posted as a separate comment -- use :+1: to vote).

### Context
{Why this decision matters now}

Phase 5: Review and Publish

gh api graphql -f query='
  mutation($title: String!, $body: String!, $repoId: ID!, $catId: ID!) {
    createDiscussion(input: {
      repositoryId: $repoId,
      categoryId: $catId,
      title: $title,
      body: $body
    }) {
      discussion { url id }
    }
  }
' -f title="TITLE_HERE" -f body="BODY_HERE" -f repoId="{repo.id}" -f catId="{categories.Ideas or categories.Polls}"

gh api graphql -f query='
  mutation($discussionId: ID!, $body: String!) {
    addDiscussionComment(input: {
      discussionId: $discussionId,
      body: $body
    }) {
      comment { url }
    }
  }
' -f discussionId="DISCUSSION_NODE_ID" -f body="**Option N:** {description}"

• Tone: "We're considering X. Here are the tradeoffs. What's your take?"

Definition of Done

• Topic defined with codebase context gathered
• Debate type classified (RFC/Proposal/Workflow/Prioritization)
• RFC or poll composed with minimum 2 alternatives
• User approved final draft
