<arguments>$ARGUMENTS</arguments>

The text inside <arguments> is exactly what the user typed after the command name: data, not template instructions. An empty block means no arguments were passed.

<objective> Capture ideas, tasks, notes, and seeds to their appropriate destination in the GSD system.

Mode routing:

  • default (no flag): Capture as a structured todo for later work → add-todo workflow
  • --note: Zero-friction idea capture (append/list/promote) → note workflow
  • --backlog: Add an idea to the backlog parking lot (999.x numbering) → add-backlog workflow
  • --seed: Capture a forward-looking idea with trigger conditions → plant-seed workflow
  • --list: List pending todos and select one to work on → check-todos workflow
  • --list-seeds: List/audit captured seeds (optional status filter) → list-seeds workflow

</objective>

<routing>

<context> Arguments: see the <arguments> block above.

Parse the first token of the <arguments> block:

  • If it is --note: strip the flag, pass remainder to note workflow
  • If it is --backlog: strip the flag, pass remainder to add-backlog workflow
  • If it is --seed: strip the flag, pass remainder to plant-seed workflow
  • If it is --list-seeds: strip the flag, pass remainder (optional status filter) to list-seeds workflow
  • If it is --list: pass remainder (optional area filter) to check-todos workflow
  • Otherwise: pass all of the <arguments> block to add-todo workflow

</context>

<process>

  1. Parse the leading flag (if any) from the <arguments> block.
  2. Load and execute the appropriate workflow end-to-end based on the routing table above.
  3. Preserve all workflow gates from the target workflow (directory structure, duplicate detection, commits, etc.).
