**First — extract repeat flags:** Follow the REPEAT PREAMBLE from `mastermind-repeat/SKILL.md`. Extracts `--repeat`, `--tillend`, `--maxruns`, `--wait`, `--rep`, `--loop` from `$ARGUMENTS` before all other parsing. If `is_continuation = true`, skip the empty-prompt check and intake below. Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for: - `--auto` flag → mode = auto - `--confirm` flag → mode = confirm - `--project ` → project_name = - Remaining text = prompt If prompt is empty: ask "What would you like researched?" Load brain context for the `research` domain (follow mastermind-protocol/SKILL.md Brain Load Procedure). Run intake if prompt is vague (follow mastermind-intake/SKILL.md — stop at Q3, domain is already known as `research`). Default mode for this command: **auto** (unless `--confirm` flag present or intake Q4 says confirm). Invoke `Skill("mastermind-research")` passing: brain_context, prompt, project_name, board_id (create if needed), mode. After skill returns: follow mastermind-protocol/SKILL.md Brain Write Procedure for domain `research`. **MANDATORY — invoke `Skill("mastermind-repeat")` now.** This is required regardless of how the skill above completed, regardless of whether you think the work is done, regardless of whether you plan to end your response. For `--repeat N`: the count is non-negotiable — all N runs must happen. For `--tillend`: only a verified empty round (confirmed by git diff) stops the loop. Do not end your response without invoking this skill.
