park

/park — Park an idea

Quickly save an idea/task from the current session to pick up in the next one. Does not close the session — only captures the thought.

Step 1: Determine what to park

From the argument or from the context of recent messages, determine:

• What — the essence of the idea/task (1-2 sentences)
• Why — what problem it solves
• Workstream — which workstream it belongs to (from workstreams.json or a new one)
• Context — key details from the current conversation that would be lost without recording

If unclear — ask the user briefly.

Step 2: Choose where to save

By priority:

1. Existing workstream file — if the idea belongs to an active workstream, append to its file
2. New file in ideas — if it's a new topic:

---
name: {short name}
description: {one line — for search via memory.js}
type: project
---

## What
{essence}

## Why
{problem it solves}

## Context
{key details from the conversation}

## Next step
{what to do when you come back to this}

3. Quick note — if the idea is raw and has no structure:

node $MEM/memory.js note "{essence of the idea}"

Step 3: Propose & confirm

MUST show the user what will be saved and where BEFORE writing anything:

Park this?
  What: {essence}
  File: {path}
  Workstream: {name}

Save? (yes/skip)

Wait for explicit confirmation. Do NOT write until the user confirms.

Step 4: Write

After confirmation:

• Write the file (Step 2 format)
• If a new file was created — add a line to the MEMORY.md index
• Show receipt:

Parked: {name}
File: {path}
Pick up: /session-start {workstream}

Rules

• Do not close the session — the user continues working
• Do not duplicate — if the idea is already in backlog or memory, point out where
• Context from the conversation matters more than wording — better to record it raw than to lose it
• One park = one idea. If there are multiple — offer to park them one by one
• If the user did not provide an argument — suggest the last discussed topic
