Capability Spec: Viewpoint Discussion Distillation

1. Purpose

Convert a long viewpoint discussion into a durable Knowledge Vault material package without losing source traceability.

2. Inputs

- source document path
- source type
- known boundary rule
- intended use
- output workspace path
- optional seed topics
- optional forbidden merges
- optional downstream intent

3. Outputs

- README.md
- 00-source-map.md
- 01-topic-map.md
- 02-material-routing-log.md
- 03-run-notes.md
- topics/
- audits/
- model-mining/
- handoff/
- invocations/

4. Operating Principle

First preserve, then structure.

The source material layer must remain separate from the structured viewpoint layer. Topic documents may reorganize ideas, but must keep source block ids and enough original material to support later reuse.

5. Human Gates

Gate 1: Confirm workspace path.
Gate 2: Confirm source block convention.
Gate 3: Confirm candidate topic-map.
Gate 4: Confirm audit repair strategy.
Gate 5: Confirm downstream routing.

6. Acceptance Criteria

- every source block has a routing status
- every formal participant output has a valid record
- no topic document relies only on summary
- low-confidence routing remains visible
- source-disposable claims are blocked until coverage audit
- downstream work is optional and user-confirmed
