Auto-Investigation

Detect existing product planning artifacts:

Glob("**/roadmap*.md")

Glob("**/.aidocs/roadmap.md")

Glob("**/stories/*")

Grep("As a .* I want")

Glob("**/spec*.md")

Glob("**/.aidocs/*/spec.md")

Glob("**/launch*.md")

Grep("go-to-market")

Glob("**/discovery/*")

Grep("Five Whys")

Glob("**/.aidocs/backlog/feature-*")

Read existing planning artifacts:
