<purpose>
Graduate a completed ideation from projects/{name}/ into apps/{name}/ with its own git repo, type-aware README, and workspace tracking updates.
</purpose>

<user-story>
As a builder with a completed PLANNING.md, I want to graduate my project into a proper app directory with git and a synthesized README, so that I can start building without manual setup.
</user-story>

<when-to-use>
- Ideation is complete and PLANNING.md exists in projects/{name}/
- Ready to move from planning to building
- Want a clean app directory with git repo and project brief
</when-to-use>

<context>
@seed.md
@checklists/planning-quality.md (quality gate — loaded before graduation)
</context>

## Detect BASE Version

Check for BASE v2 (Rust binary) for ecosystem integration.

1. Check for base binary:
   ```bash
   which base 2>/dev/null
   ```

2. **If base binary found:**
   ```bash
   base --version 2>/dev/null
   ```
   - If output contains a semver (e.g., "base 0.1.0") → Rust binary (v2) detected
     - Store `base_v2_available = true`
     - Silent pass — continue
   - If output is empty, errors, or doesn't match semver → v1/Python detected
     - **HARD STOP.** Display:
       ```
       ════════════════════════════════════════
       ⛔ BASE v1 detected — not compatible with SEED v1.0+
       ════════════════════════════════════════

       BASE v1 (Python/MCP) is no longer supported.
       SEED now integrates with BASE v2 (Rust) for the
       full Agentic OS experience.

       Upgrade: https://chrisai.cv/skool

       SEED · Chris AI Systems

       ```
     - Do NOT proceed

3. **If no base binary on PATH:**
   - Store `base_v2_available = false`
   - Display:
     ```
     ℹ️ BASE not detected. SEED works standalone, but for the
     full Agentic OS — workspace intelligence, proactive context,
     knowledge graph — get BASE v2: https://chrisai.cv/skool
     ```
   - Continue with graduation (not a hard stop)

4. **Additional v1 artifact check** (even if no base binary):
   - Check for `.base/data/*.json` files (v1's JSON store):
     ```bash
     ls .base/data/*.json 2>/dev/null
     ```
   - If found: display v1 warning (same hard stop as step 2)
</step>

<step name="validate_input" priority="first">
## Validate Project

Check `$ARGUMENTS` for a project name.

**If no argument provided:**
Scan `projects/` for directories containing PLANNING.md. List them:

> "Available projects ready for graduation:"
> - {name} ({type from PLANNING.md})
> - {name} ({type})
>
> "Which one? Or provide a name."

Wait for response.

**If argument provided:**
1. Confirm `projects/{name}/PLANNING.md` exists — if not: "No PLANNING.md found at `projects/{name}/`. Run `/seed` to create one first."
2. Confirm `apps/{name}/` does NOT exist — if it does: "`apps/{name}/` already exists. This project was already graduated."
3. If either check fails, stop.
</step>

<step name="quality_check">
## Quality Gate

Read `projects/{name}/PLANNING.md` and extract:
- **Type** metadata field (application, workflow, client, utility, campaign)
- Overall content depth

Reference `checklists/planning-quality.md` to assess whether the PLANNING.md is rich enough for a clean graduation and potential headless PAUL init.

<if condition="Type metadata is missing">
Infer type from content, or ask: "I can't find a Type field in this PLANNING.md. What type of project is this? (application, workflow, client, utility, campaign)"

Wait for response.
</if>

<if condition="PLANNING.md appears too thin">
Warn the user:

> "This PLANNING.md looks light — it may not have enough detail for a strong README or future PAUL init. Want to go back to `/seed` to flesh it out, or graduate as-is?"

Wait for response. If user wants to proceed, continue. If not, exit with suggestion to run `/seed`.
</if>
</step>

<step name="create_app_directory">
## Create App Directory

1. Create the app directory:
   ```bash
   mkdir -p apps/{name}
   ```

2. Initialize git repo:
   ```bash
   cd apps/{name}
   git init -b main
   ```
</step>

<step name="synthesize_readme">
## Synthesize README

Read `projects/{name}/PLANNING.md` fully. Generate `apps/{name}/README.md` by **synthesizing** (not copying) a clean project brief.

**Common sections (all types):**
- Title and one-line description
- Type, Skill Loadout, Quality Gates metadata
- Overview — concise summary of what and why
- Design Decisions — resolved decisions (numbered)
- Implementation Phases — phase breakdown (or "N/A" for small projects)
- Open Questions — unresolved items
- References

**Type-specific sections to add:**

| Type | Additional Sections |
|------|-------------------|
| Application | Stack, Deploy, Data Model, API Surface, Architecture, UI/UX |
| Workflow | Scope Definition, Integration Map, Interaction Design, Output Artifacts |
| Client | Client name, Business Context, Conversion Strategy, Timeline, Tech Approach |
| Utility | Location, Interface (invocation/input/output), Done Criteria |
| Campaign | Goal, Deliverables List, Timeline, Success Metrics |

**Synthesis guidelines:**
- Remove brainstorming artifacts, iteration history, abandoned ideas
- Keep all resolved design decisions
- Keep technical architecture details
- Keep implementation phases
- Preserve tables and structured data (information-dense)
- Preserve Type and Skill Loadout metadata — PAUL uses this for configuration
- The README should be comprehensive enough to run `/paul:init` against

Present the generated README to the user:

> "Here's the README I synthesized from your PLANNING.md. Take a look — anything to adjust?"

Wait for response.

<if condition="user requests changes">
Apply edits and re-present until approved.
</if>
</step>

<step name="finalize">
## Finalize Graduation

1. **Write README.md** to `apps/{name}/README.md`

2. **Initial commit:**
   ```bash
   cd apps/{name}
   git add README.md
   git commit -m "Initial commit: project brief from graduation"
   ```

3. **Register in BASE graph (if `base_v2_available`):**
   ```bash
   base project add --name "{name}" --path "apps/{name}"
   ```
   If the project was already registered during ideation (at `projects/{name}`), update the path:
   ```bash
   base project update {name} --path "apps/{name}" --status active
   ```

4. **Note graduation in PLANNING.md** — append to `projects/{name}/PLANNING.md`:
   ```
   ---
   **Graduated:** {today's date}
   **Location:** `apps/{name}/`
   **README:** `apps/{name}/README.md`
   ```

5. **Report:**
   ```
   Graduated: projects/{name}/ → apps/{name}/
   README: apps/{name}/README.md
   Git: Initialized with initial commit

   Next steps:
   - `/paul:init` in apps/{name}/ to start a managed build
   - `/seed launch {name}` does this automatically (graduate + PAUL init)
