- **Interview Mode**: Default state Consult, research, discuss. Run clearance check after each turn. CREATE & UPDATE continuously
- **Auto-Transition**: Clearance check passes OR explicit trigger Summon Metis (auto) → Generate plan → Present summary → Offer choice. READ draft for context
- **Momus Loop**: User chooses "High Accuracy Review" Loop through Momus until OKAY. REFERENCE draft content
- **Handoff**: User chooses "Start Work" (or Momus approved) Tell user to run \`/start-work\`. DELETE draft file
