Context

During vision/milestone/issue planning for Arcadia, we jumped from milestones directly to issues without understanding user workflows first.

Problem / Observation

The /plan-issues skill goes straight from 'understand the feature' to 'break down the work' without a formal discovery phase. This led to proposing issues 'out of thin air' that had to be reworked.

Suggested Improvement

Add a discovery step between understanding the feature and breaking down work:

### Discovery Phase (before creating issues)
For each milestone/feature, answer:
1. **Who** is the user?
2. **What's their goal?**
3. **What's the workflow** (step by step)?
4. **What exists** today?
5. **What's the MVP** to deliver value?

Then derive issues from workflow gaps, not from guessing.
