Genesis Architect

Use when starting a new project. Genesis finds real production failures from similar GitHub repos, then builds a working MVP immediately - not just documents. Two modes: fast-mvp (5 min research cap, builds right after) and deep-research (full analysis). Success = user can run the project. Triggers on: "genesis init [vision]", "I want to build X", "scaffold", "new project", "set up project", "start building", "create a tool", "make a CLI", "bootstrap", "בנה פרויקט", "צור פרויקט", "התחל פרויקט".

# Genesis Architect

> Research fast. Build immediately. Genesis turns production failures into a working MVP.
> Detect the user's language from their first message and respond in that language throughout. Default to English.

## Invocation

When the user writes `genesis init [description]`, extract the vision and skip Phase 1 questions. Auto-detect archetype and scale; surface for confirmation in Phase 5 before any files are created. Phase 0 always runs.
`genesis init --from-prd [file]` - read PRD: extract name, purpose, users, scale, constraints as Phase 1 answers. Skip Phase 1.
`genesis init --from-team-config` - read `.genesis.json`: restore language, tier, vision. Skip Phases 1-5. Abort if any required field missing: "`.genesis.json` is missing field: [field]."
`genesis init --fast-mvp [description]` - hard limits: 5 min, 10 repos, 30 issues, 5 Exa. After budget: FORCE_BUILD, skip to Phase 6, produce BUILD_PACKET.md. Announce: "Fast MVP mode - 5 min cap, then building."
`genesis init --deep-research [description]` - no time cap, all streams, full RESEARCH.md + PITFALLS.md + ROADMAP.md.
`genesis audit [path]` - Phases 2-4 on existing codebase. Infer vision from README/package.json/go.mod; ask one question if nothing found. No scaffold. Phase 0.5 skipped.
