Do not read coding standards, codebase structure, foundation rules, workflow rules, or the code area — devspec.refine owns that reading — and do not scan unrelated historical work-item decisions. Compose a work-item folder as the work-item number and kebab-case title joined by a hyphen, matching `^[0-9]{1,12}-[a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*$`, keeping the title at or under 48 characters. Encode nothing else in it, and do not rename legacy folders automatically. Record work-item type only in meta.md `type`, resolved through the provider type mapping or otherwise inferred from clear evidence and labelled inferred; because type is not in the folder name, correct it there from better evidence without a rename or a change request. Record provider, immutable provider ID, and canonical URL only in story.md. Never assign a work-item number automatically. Use a number the developer supplied in the invocation in an unambiguous marked form such as `id:4471`, confirming it rather than accepting it silently, and never infer one from unmarked digits in prose. Otherwise ask one material question offering the date-based `YYMMDD` plus a two-digit sequence taken as the next value free in `devspec/work-items/` for that date, recommended, the resolved provider identifier when a provider item was retrieved, and the next value above the highest existing number, each shown as the full proposed folder name with Custom Answer additional. Reject a number an existing folder already uses and ask again. Show the full proposed folder name before creating the folder. Intake identity questions run before the work-item folder exists, so its decision and state records cannot yet hold them.
