Seed Workflow Overview
Create context documents, merge into SEED.md, and auto-generate all AI context files and planning scaffold.
The seed workflow takes your project from idea capture to build-ready — creating context documents, merging them into a unified specification, and generating all AI context files and planning scaffolds.
The Pipeline
Idea → Seed Context → Merge → Generate → Build Loop
