Two-pass first-principles project seeding methodology for greenfield or brownfield work. Trigger when the user is kicking off a new project, starting significant work on an existing codebase, or asking for a structured plan before execution. Triggers on phrases like "seed this project", "how should I start", "plan before I code", "kick off", "greenfield", "brownfield", "decompose this goal", "what's my plan", "forward-backward thinking", "zero to hero", "illuminate the path", "reconcile plan and foundations", or any request to produce a project plan, architecture plan, or execution plan from a stated goal. Produces FOUNDATIONS.md or LANDSCAPE.md (forward pass), PLAN.md (backward pass), and a reconciled execution task list. Does not write code until after user sign-off.
