Intake

What this stage is

Intake is where signal enters the loop - the conversations, notes, research, and half-formed ideas you're picking up. Instead of scattering across tools and memory, they land in one place so the next stage can work them.

The skill that runs it: intake-review

intake-review takes an intake source - a transcript, a chat export, a file, or a GitHub issue - pulls out the parts relevant to your work, and routes those findings toward where they belong (an existing phase, a new phase, a new track, or a new workstream). It's the bridge from raw signal to a structured change you can act on.

In your AI tool it surfaces as the fai:workstreams_intake-review prompt.

What you give it, what you get

• Give it: a source - a GitHub issue reference, a file path, or a transcript.
• Get back: structured findings, routed by where they belong, ready for the next stage.
