When running in Codex or ChatGPT Work, first read Codex integration. In Claude Code or Cowork, read ${CLAUDEPLUGINROOT}/docs/claude.md first. This skill acts as the upstream conversational brainstorming engine for the Elephant-Goldfish Model (EGM). It turns "half-baked" or raw concepts into hypotheses by combining interactive clarifying questions with an automated Goldfish review. The outcome is an iteratively refined RFC summary (conceptsbrief.md) that leads directly into /egm-draft or review with peers. A Goldfish runs in a fresh context with no conversation history. Spawn each subagent with your harness's subagent tool (Antigravity: invokesubagent; Claude Code: Agent; Codex: spawnagent). Each subagent is defined in agents/ .md, and its frontmatter name (for example egm-zoom-out) is the subagent type to request where your harness registers named subagents. Otherwise spawn a general-purpose subagent and tell it to read that persona file first. Pass the prompt verbatim and wait for the report. If your harness cannot nest subagents, use direct dispatch instead of the synthesizer. See docs/harnesses.md. If your harness has no subagent tool, stop and tell the user: a review in the sam
