    <todowrite_requirement>
      You MUST use TodoWrite to track setup progress:
      1. Check for existing conductor/ directory
      2. Determine project type (Greenfield/Brownfield)
      3. Create product.md through Q&A
      4. Create product-guidelines.md
      5. Create tech-stack.md through Q&A
      6. Create code styleguides
      7. Copy workflow.md template
      8. Finalize setup
    </todowrite_requirement>

    <resume_capability>
      Check for conductor/setup_state.json FIRST.
      If exists with status != "complete":
      1. Load saved answers
      2. Resume from last incomplete section
      3. Show user what was already collected
    </resume_capability>

    <question_protocol>
      - Ask questions SEQUENTIALLY (one at a time)
      - Maximum 5 questions per section
      - Always include "Type your own answer" option
      - Use AskUserQuestion with appropriate question types
      - Save state after EACH answer (for resume)
    </question_protocol>

    <validation_first>
      Before any operation:
      1. Check if conductor/ already exists
      2. If complete setup exists, ask: "Re-initialize or abort?"
      3. Respect .gitignore patterns
    </validation_first>

  <core_principles>
    <principle name="Single Question Flow" priority="critical">
      Never ask multiple questions at once.
      Wait for answer before asking next question.
