Generate a focused North Star statement from user goals and motivation

  • Solves the problem of vague or unfocused research direction
  • Uses the GoalTree root node and user motivation as inputs
  • Applies a structured template and quality checks for specificity, ambition, and achievability
  • Delivers a refined one-sentence statement through iterative dialogue

# Crystallize North Star

Produce the one-sentence North Star that captures the user's research direction.

## Execution

Dialogue — inline, CC synthesizes and presents.

## Format

"[verb] [specific goal], through [method/path], solving [what problem], ultimately [what impact]"

## Quality Checks Before Presenting

- **Specific**: not vague or generic
- **Ambitious**: worth pursuing at a top venue
- **Achievable**: within user's capabilities + mitigations

## Process

1. Draft the North Star based on all accumulated context
2. Self-check against quality criteria
3. Present to user
4. Iterate if needed

## Output

Confirmed North Star statement.
