Summary

ce:work now handles bare prompts (not just plan files) and includes test discovery as a first-class execution step.

Phase 0 — Input Triage routes bare prompts through a complexity assessment before execution. Trivial work skips ceremony entirely, small/medium work gets an inline task list, and large work surfaces a recommendation toward brainstorm/plan without forcing it. When a plan document is provided, Phase 0 is skipped entirely — no overhead for the existing pipeline.

Test Discovery is a new universal step in the Phase 2 execution loop. Before changing a file, the agent finds its existing test files (by import, naming pattern, or shared references). When a plan specifies test scenarios, the agent starts there and supplements with any coverage the plan missed. Test guidance throughout the skill now uses "add/update/remove" instead of just "add new tests."

Both changes propagated to ce:work-beta — they're orthogonal to the delegate mode that beta exists to test.

…n loop

Add Phase 0 input triage so ce:work can be invoked with a raw prompt
instead of requiring a plan file. Complexity assessment routes trivial
work directly to execution, nudges large work toward brainstorm/plan
without forcing it, and builds inline task lists for everything in between.

Add Test Discovery as a universal execution step — find existing test
files for implementation files before changing them, and ensure test
updates (add/modify/remove) accompany implementation changes regardless
of whether a plan enumerated them.

Sync decision: Propagated to beta — Phase 0 input triage and Test
Discovery are general execution improvements orthogonal to the
delegate mode that beta exists to test.

Trivial path now says "implement directly — no task list, no execution
loop" instead of "skip task tracking" which contradicted the Phase 2
while-loop. Strategy selection now defaults bare prompts to inline and
marks subagent strategies as requiring plan-unit metadata.

Both fixes applied to ce-work and ce-work-beta.

The skip condition on "Create Todo List" only covered "Phase 0 already
built one" but trivial work intentionally builds no task list. Extended
the skip to also cover the trivial route.
