What Book Idea does

description: For when you don't have a book concept yet — turn fragmented ideas (or nothing at all) into a structured premise, then hand off to /book-forge:book-new argument-hint: "[optional: any fragment of an idea you already have]"

book-idea

If `$ARGUMENTS` contains anything, treat it as a starting fragment and pass it straight to `ideation-agent`. If empty, dispatch `ideation-agent` and let it ask its Step 0 question (existing fragments, a reference work, or nothing at all).
