# Step 1: Orientation

Understand what the target is and what it is for. Use the target's
plan or spec, PR description, and commit messages when they exist.
Ask the user questions until you know both.

## CHECKPOINT

If subagents are available: is the background subagent for writing
the log and narrative files running? If not, spawn it now. Doing
that work in the main session distracts the user. Do not load the
next step until that subagent is running.
