craft:design

Preamble (always runs — non-overridable)

1. manifest-lint.sh must pass (skip if the orchestrator already ran it this turn); read manifest. Standalone: scope defaults to the current branch vs the default branch; establish global-context preconditions against the current checkout root.
2. Probe: design docs directory (paths.design, else docs/design/, create if absent); repo's own design template, else "${CRAFT_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}}/templates/design.md".
3. If a requirements artifact was produced this run, treat it as a hard input (read it, design against it); else self-supply requirements in the design doc's own section.
4. Intention consult surface (advisory). The phase receives the intention consult slice on slot 1 — the IntentionView entries whose subjects intersect this phase's change scope, prepended into the injected contract block alongside the memory hint (see skills/run/SKILL.md step 4). An empty slice means the phase runs its own probes.

Procedure (default body — a manifest override: replaces everything below)

1. Spawn craft:designer with: the resolved brief; the absolute working directory; the output path <design-dir>/<slug>.md; the template; the commit message docs(design): <slug>; the manifest's global + design-phase context: files verbatim.
2. When it returns: READ THE DOC (not the agent's exploration). Sanity-check it against the brief; verify the commit exists and the Decision-candidates section is present (possibly empty).
3. Carry the decision candidates forward to the decisions phase. Record the outcome in the run record.
4. Dead agent → respawn fresh from the brief + whatever the doc already contains.
