Description

Synthesize the upstream review outputs into a single coherent direction document the user can roll with. The driving question: given what we actually have, given the honest critique, given the visual material available, and given the theoretical reframing in PR #1, is the current direction right?

Inputs (must read all)

STOCKTAKE.md (from stocktake task)
REVIEW_LANDING.md (from content review task)
VISUAL_LANGUAGE.md (from visual study task)
PR1_REVIEW.md (from PR1 engagement task)
v2 application + outline
STATE.md and CLAUDE.md

Output

DIRECTION.md at repo root with these sections in order:

What we actually are — paragraph anchored in real artifacts (cite STOCKTAKE.md), not aspirational claims.
Honest assessment of v2 — does the application reflect what we are? Where does it overreach? Where does it undersell?
Verdict on poietic.life — keep / redirect / rewrite. Specific.
Verdict on PR #1 — fold / parallel / defer.
The 4-day plan — concrete sequence of work between now (2026-04-27) and 2026-05-01 deadline. Dated steps.
The 12-week plan — coherent post-submission narrative for the demo, the scaffold, the post-submission preprint.
Risks to the direction — what could break it.

Constraints

Strong opinion. The user wants something to roll with, not fence-sitting.
Every claim cites the upstream review documents.
No em dashes (CLAUDE.md style rule).
36-month horizon is out of scope; focus is 4 days + 12 weeks.

Validation

DIRECTION.md exists at repo root
All seven sections present
Each verdict is unambiguous (no "we could either")
4-day plan has dated steps
Cites upstream review documents by name
No em dashes anywhere

2026-04-28T01:52:32.552956553+00:00 Lightweight assignment: agent=Default Evaluator (31847164), exec_mode=full, context_scope=graph, reason=Task is fundamentally evaluative—forming verdicts on current state (v2 application, landing page, PR#1 relevance) and synthesizing multiple review documents into strategic direction. Evaluator role best matches strong-opinion assessment and judgment formation.

2026-04-28T02:04:58.889013734+00:00 Starting direction synthesis. Reading inputs: STOCKTAKE.md, REVIEW_LANDING.md, VISUAL_LANGUAGE.md, PR1_REVIEW.md, v2 app, outline, STATE.md.
2026-04-28T02:05:55.300702004+00:00 All four upstream documents read. Writing DIRECTION.md as a single coherent direction the user can roll with: rewrite landing page, defer PR1, fix three gaps in v2 (cohort, PBC age, budget specificity), submit on May 1.
2026-04-28T02:10:12.334251337+00:00 DIRECTION.md complete. 7 sections, 39 citations to upstream docs, 4-day dated plan, 12-week plan with 6 fortnight blocks, 9 risks ranked. Verified no em or en dashes (Python unicode scan). All four verdicts unambiguous: rewrite landing page, defer PR1, fix three v2 gaps, submit May 1.
