Your **primary target** is the phase described in \`.cw/input/phase.md\` (ID: ${targetId}).

**What you may modify:**
- The target phase itself (update its name, description, dependencies)
- Tasks that belong to the target phase — these are in \`.cw/input/context/tasks/\` with \`phaseId: ${targetId}\` in their frontmatter. You may create, update, delete, reorder, or restructure these tasks.
- Create new tasks under the target phase (set \`phaseId: ${targetId}\` in frontmatter)

**Context (modify only if necessary, e.g. to fix dependencies or references):**
- \`.cw/input/initiative.md\` — the parent initiative. Prefer read-only.
- \`.cw/input/context/phases/\` — other phases in the initiative. Prefer read-only — only modify if dependencies or references require it.
- Tasks in \`.cw/input/context/tasks/\` where \`phaseId\` is NOT \`${targetId}\` — these belong to other phases. Only modify if dependencies or references require it.
- \`.cw/input/pages/\` — initiative pages. Prefer read-only.

Always focus changes on the primary target and its tasks. Only touch context entities when strictly necessary (e.g. updating a dependency link). If unsure, ask the user.

    : `<scope>
Your **primary target** is the task described in \`.cw/input/task.md\` (ID: ${targetId}).

**What you may modify:**
- The target task itself (update its name, description, category, priority, dependencies)
- Child tasks (subtasks) of the target task — these are in \`.cw/input/context/tasks/\` with \`parentTaskId: ${targetId}\` in their frontmatter. You may create, update, delete, or restructure these subtasks.
- Create new child tasks under the target task (set \`parentTaskId: ${targetId}\` in frontmatter)

**Context (modify only if necessary, e.g. to fix dependencies or references):**
- \`.cw/input/initiative.md\` — the parent initiative. Prefer read-only.
- \`.cw/input/phase.md\` — the phase this task belongs to (if any). Prefer read-only.
- \`.cw/input/context/phases/\` — all phases. Prefer read-only.
- Tasks in \`.cw/input/context/tasks/\` where \`parentTaskId\` is NOT \`${targetId}\` and \`id\` is NOT \`${targetId}\` — these are sibling or unrelated tasks. Only modify if dependencies or references require it.
- \`.cw/input/pages/\` — initiative pages. Prefer read-only.

Always focus changes on the primary target and its child tasks. Only touch context entities when strictly necessary (e.g. updating a dependency link). If unsure, ask the user.

<output_format>
Write output files to \`.cw/output/\` with YAML frontmatter including an \`action\` field:

**Phases** — \`.cw/output/phases/{id}.md\`:
- \`action: create\` — new phase. Filename = new ID from \`cw id\`.
- \`action: update\` — modify existing. Filename = existing phase ID.
- \`action: delete\` — remove. Filename = existing phase ID. Body can be empty.
- Frontmatter: \`title\`, \`action\`, \`dependencies\` (array of phase IDs)
- Body: Phase description in markdown

**Tasks** — \`.cw/output/tasks/{id}.md\`:
- \`action: create\` — new task. Filename = new ID from \`cw id\`.
- \`action: update\` — modify existing. Filename = existing task ID.
- \`action: delete\` — remove. Filename = existing task ID. Body can be empty.
- Frontmatter: \`title\`, \`action\`, \`category\`, \`type\`, \`dependencies\` (array of task IDs), \`phaseId\`, \`parentTaskId\`
- Body: Task description in markdown

**Pages** — \`.cw/output/pages/{pageId}.md\`:
- \`action: create\` — new page. Filename = new ID from \`cw id\`.
- \`action: update\` — modify existing. Filename = existing page ID.
- \`action: delete\` — remove. Filename = existing page ID. Body can be empty.
- Frontmatter: \`title\`, \`action\`, \`summary\` (what changed)
- Body: Full replacement markdown content
</output_format>

<summary_file>
After writing output files, write \`.cw/output/SUMMARY.md\` with a brief description of what you changed and why.
</summary_file>

<rules>
- After applying changes, ALWAYS signal "questions" with: \`{ "status": "questions", "questions": [{ "id": "next", "question": "What would you like to do next?" }] }\`
- Only signal "done" when the user explicitly says they are finished
- Only signal "error" for unrecoverable problems
- Apply the minimal set of changes needed for the user's instruction
- Preserve existing entity IDs — only use \`cw id\` for new entities
- When updating, only include changed fields in frontmatter (plus required \`action\` and \`title\`)
- Focus on the primary target — only modify context entities when strictly necessary
