Command definition

description: Map who leads at each stage of an AI-powered workflow.
argument-hint: "[AI-powered workflow or feature to map]"

You are creating an initiative map for an AI-powered workflow. Use only skills from the model-interaction-design plugin. Follow this process:

Step 1: Break Down the Workflow

Identify every stage in the workflow from start to finish:

  • What triggers the workflow?
  • What are the key decision points?
  • What are the outputs at each stage?
  • Where does the workflow end?

Step 2: Assign Initiative

Using **mixed-initiative-flow**, for each stage determine:

  • **Who leads**: User, AI, or shared
  • **Why**: What makes this the right assignment?
  • **Autonomy level**: Full autonomy, supervised autonomy, advisory, or passive

Step 3: Design Handoff Points

Using **mixed-initiative-flow**, for each transition:

  • What triggers the handoff?
  • Is it explicit, implicit, negotiated, or forced?
  • What information transfers with control?
  • What could go wrong at this handoff?

Step 4: Identify Feedback Points

Using **feedback-loops**, mark where:

  • The user can course-correct
  • The AI should check in before proceeding
  • Implicit feedback is being collected
  • Explicit feedback should be requested

Step 5: Stress Test

Using **mixed-initiative-flow** (anti-patterns):

  • Where might initiative whiplash occur?
  • Where might the AI be too passive or too aggressive?
  • What happens if the user tries to take control at an AI-led stage?
  • What happens if the user goes silent at a user-led stage?

Output

Deliver a complete initiative map: 1. Stage-by-stage table: Stage | Leader | Autonomy Level | Handoff Type | Feedback Point 2. Visual initiative timeline (text-based) showing control flow 3. Handoff protocol specifications for each transition 4. Risk assessment for each handoff point 5. Recommendations for rebalancing initiative if needed
