## Document Intelligence

This skill supports three modes: **Create**, **Update**, and **Find**.

### Mode Detection

| Signal | Mode | Confidence |
|--------|------|------------|
| "update", "revise", "modify" in input | UPDATE | 100% |
| File path provided (`@path/to/gtm.md`) | UPDATE | 100% |
| "create", "new", "draft" in input | CREATE | 100% |
| "find", "search", "list GTM" | FIND | 100% |
| "the GTM", "our GTM strategy" | UPDATE | 85% |
| Just product/feature name | CREATE | 60% |

**Threshold**: ≥85% auto-proceed | 70-84% state assumption | <70% ask user

### Mode Behaviors

**CREATE**: Generate complete new GTM strategy using template below.

**UPDATE**:
1. Read existing GTM doc (search if path not provided)
2. Preserve unchanged sections exactly
3. Update specific sections (timeline, channels, budget)
4. Show diff summary: "Updated: [sections]. Unchanged: [sections]."

**FIND**:
1. Search paths below for GTM documents
2. Present results: title, product, launch date, path
3. Ask: "Update one of these, or create new?"
