Scope a GOAL (release / initiative / major objective) into a few coherent owned LANES — the planning front-end of the epic lifecycle. Convert goals into lanes (not scrap tickets); peers self-select lanes; the planner defines goal+lanes but never assigns a peer. Triggers: before decomposing a release/initiative/major-goal into work; when a goal needs scoping into owned streams; when work is being chased as scattered micro-tickets with no owned lanes; when tempted to skip planning OR to assign peers to lanes.

If you are about to decompose a GOAL (a release, initiative, or major objective) into work — or you notice work being chased as scattered micro-tickets with no owned lanes, or you are tempted to assign peers to work — you MUST immediately use the view_file tool to read and strictly adhere to .agents/skills/goal-scoping/references/goal-scoping-workflow.md before scoping or assigning anything.
