Consult this when: Choosing what FPAT Lite should do next.
| Command | Choose it when | Default mutation level |
|---|---|---|
| prime | Context is new, stale, or uncertain | Read-only |
| brainstorm | The solution direction is unclear | Read-only |
| plan | A direction must become verifiable work | Read-only |
| implement | The user requested a local change | Local files |
| validate | Claims need executed evidence | Read-only or temporary local artifacts |
| handoff | Work will pause or context must transfer | Local checkpoint |
Use one primary command at a time. A command may recommend the next one, but it must not silently cross into a higher-mutation mode.
