mold

What problem does it solve?

Mold converts vague product or engineering intent into a grounded, interface-locked spec that is only written after an explicit two-key approval gate.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Iterative design dialogue from fuzzy input: Runs a guided Explore → Ground → Shape → Sketch → Grill → Diagnose flow to clarify requirements, resolve contradictions, and stress-test choices for a durable spec artifact.
• Evidence-first grounding: Grounds critical claims using cheez-search/cheez-read and Validate Cycles before proposing interface or decision changes.
• Interface and blast-radius control: Uses a shape check to lock public seams via pseudocode signatures and bound upstream/downstream impact before extraction.
• Two-key handshake extraction: Requires an explicit user verb plus an agent coherence self-check to prevent drift and silent agent-introduced scope.
• Curdled spec + recommended next action: Writes the approved spec to the durable corpus via the resolver and computes the best downstream skill (cook, ultracook, or cheese-factory) before prompting handoff.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run mold on your fuzzy feature idea and be ready to approve the handshake before the spec is extracted to a durable spec file.
