Aspire
Natural language work planning skill that accepts plain-English descriptions and routes them through investigation, intake, or pipeline monitoring.
Aspire is the front door for new work in Knowledge OS. You describe what you want in plain English, and it routes through 3 modes: investigate (research before committing — an agent builds a PRD, you review and approve/defer/reject), intake (create a kanban task immediately), or pipeline (monitor active work status across workstreams). The investigation mode prevents premature commitment: instead of starting work that might be wrong, the agent builds a plan you can review first. Approved investigations become PRDs that Ralph Execute iterates on. Rejected investigations are archived with rationale so the same bad idea does not resurface 3 months later. The pipeline mode surfaces stalled work that has been in_progress for more than 5 days.
