-# Matrix Workflow
-
-A structured workflow orchestrator for [Matt Pocock's Claude Code skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills), inspired by [Comet](https://github.com/rpamis/comet). It enforces evidence-based phase transitions to standardize your development process when using these skills.

-## Why Matrix
-
-[Matt Pocock's skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) are excellent individual tools — `/grill-with-docs` for requirements, `/tdd` for test-driven development, `/implement` for execution. But using them in isolation leads to common problems:
-
-- **No process memory**: You grill, then implement, but there's no record of what was decided
-- **Phase confusion**: Did we finish design? Are we in build? Hard to tell after context loss
-- **Silent scope creep**: Requirements change mid-build without returning to design
-- **Missing evidence**: "Looks done" without verification proof
-
-Matrix solves this by wrapping these skills into a deterministic state machine with explicit phases, guard conditions, and artifact tracking — inspired by [Comet](https://github.com/rpamis/comet)'s phase-based approach.
-
----
-
-## What It Does
-
-Matrix orchestrates Matt Pocock's skills into a structured workflow:
+# Matrix Workflow
+
+An evidence-driven development workflow with Prim and Arch orchestration, inspired by [Comet](https://github.com/rpamis/comet). Matrix can work with its own capabilities or conditionally invoke a verified cohort of [Matt Pocock's agent skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) without giving up lifecycle ownership.

+
+## Why Matrix
+
+[Matt Pocock's skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) provide focused capabilities such as `/grilling`, `/tdd`, and `/code-review`. Using independent tools without a lifecycle owner leads to common problems:
+
+- **No process memory**: You grill, then implement, but there's no record of what was decided
+- **Phase confusion**: Did we finish design? Are we in build? Hard to tell after context loss
+- **Silent scope creep**: Requirements change mid-build without returning to design
+- **Missing evidence**: "Looks done" without verification proof
+
+Matrix solves this with one deterministic state machine, explicit phases, guard conditions, and artifact tracking — inspired by [Comet](https://github.com/rpamis/comet)'s phase-based approach. Skills can assist a phase, but Matrix always owns the lifecycle.
+
+---
+
+## What It Does
+
+Matrix provides two capability-orchestration modes over the same workflow:
 
 ```
 open → design → build → verify → archive
-  ↓       ↓        ↓        ↓        ↓
-grill   plan    implement  tdd    commit
-        design            review
-```
-
-Each phase:
-- Has specific deliverables (artifacts)
-- Has guard conditions that must pass
-- Logs all transitions
-- Survives context loss (state on disk)
-
----
-
-## Prerequisites
 
-- [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude-code) and/or Codex installed
-- Node.js 18+ (for the installer)
-- Python is optional during the compatibility window; new installations run the bundled Node workflow runtime.
-
----
-
-## Installation
-
-Install the Matrix CLI once:
-
-```bash
-npm install --global @rosenfan/matrix
+Prim: Matrix performs phase work itself
+Arch: Matrix invokes verified atomic Skills only when task facts trigger them
 ```
 
-Then initialize Matrix inside any project:
+Recovery paths are controlled Runtime intents:
 
-```bash
-cd /path/to/your/project
-matrix init
+```text
+build  --design-gap--------------------> design
+verify --verification-failed-----------> build
+verify --acceptance-or-design-gap------> design
+any active phase --abort--------------> aborted
 ```
 
-The interactive setup lets you:
-
-- Choose English or Chinese, project or global scope, and Claude Code, Codex, or both
-- Copy skills (recommended) or symlink them for local development
-- Safely update an existing installation with an automatic backup
+Each phase:

+```
+
+Then initialize Matrix inside any project:
+
+```bash

+
+- Choose English or Chinese, project or global scope, and Claude Code, Codex, or both
+- Copy skills (recommended) or symlink them for local development
+- Safely update an existing installation with an automatic backup
 - Install Matt Pocock's companion skills in the same flow
-
-For automation and CI:
-
-```bash
-# Safe non-interactive installation for both verified platforms
+- Choose **Prim** or **Arch** as the project default without disabling the other available mode
+
+For automation and CI:
+
+```bash
+# Safe non-interactive installation for both verified platforms
 matrix init --yes --platform claude-code --platform codex --with-mattpocock
 
-# Preview exactly what would change (including backups) without writing
-matrix init --platform codex --dry-run --json
-
-# Inspect Matrix ownership, Matt Skills inheritance, and the selected platform
-matrix doctor --platform codex
-```
-
-Until the npm package is published, install directly from GitHub:
-
-```bash
-npm install --global github:Rosenfan/Matrix
-```
-
-Matrix installs:
-- `matrix/` — Entry point and state management
-- `matrix-open/` — Open phase (uses `/grill-with-docs`)
-- `matrix-design/` — Design phase (uses `/prototype`, `/research`)
-- `matrix-build/` — Build phase (uses `/implement`, `/tdd`)
-- `matrix-verify/` — Verify phase (uses `/code-review`)
-- `matrix-archive/` — Archive phase
-- `matrix-hotfix/` — Shortcut for small bugs
-- `matrix-tweak/` — Shortcut for bounded changes
-- `matrix-status/` — Check current state
-- `matrix-claude/` — Optional: export for Claude Code
-
----
-
-## Quick Start
-
-In Claude Code:
-
-```
-$matrix I want to add user authentication
-```
-
-Matrix will:
-1. Initialize a change with workflow type `full`
-2. Enter `open` phase → invokes `/grill-with-docs` to clarify requirements
-3. Create `proposal.md` with Goal, Scope, Acceptance, Risks
-4. Guard check: are all sections substantive?
-5. If pass → transition to `design`
-
----
-
-## Workflow Phases
-
-| Phase | Matt Pocock Skills Used | Deliverables | Guard Condition |
-|-------|-------------------------|--------------|-----------------|
-| **open** | `/grill-with-docs` (auto-invokes `/grilling` + `/domain-modeling`) | `proposal.md`, `CONTEXT.md`, ADRs | Goal, Scope, Acceptance, Risks present |
-| **design** | `/domain-modeling` → `/research` → `/wayfinder` → `/prototype` → `/codebase-design` | `design.md`, `plan.md` | Decisions, Test seams, Steps documented |
-| **build** | `/implement` (auto-invokes `/tdd` + `/code-review`), `/diagnosing-bugs`, `/resolving-merge-conflicts` | Code, `verification.md` | Plan exists, build evidence recorded |
-| **verify** | `/code-review` (two-axis: Standards + Spec), `/improve-codebase-architecture` | Test & review evidence | Test and review evidence present |
-| **archive** | — | Git commit | Verify guard passed |
-
----
-
-## How It Works

+matrix doctor --platform codex
+```
+
+Until the npm package is published, install directly from GitHub:
+
+```bash
+npm install --global github:Rosenfan/Matrix
+```
+
+Matrix installs:
+- `matrix/` — Entry point and state management
+- `matrix-open/` — Open phase and canonical proposal
+- `matrix-design/` — Design, plan, and Contract approval
+- `matrix-build/` — Bounded implementation and build evidence
+- `matrix-verify/` — Test and two-axis review evidence
+- `matrix-archive/` — Archive phase
+- `matrix-hotfix/` — Shortcut for small bugs
+- `matrix-tweak/` — Shortcut for bounded changes
+- `matrix-status/` — Check current state
+- `matrix-claude/` — Optional: export for Claude Code
+

+
+## Quick Start
+
+In Claude Code:
+
+```
+$matrix I want to add user authentication
+```
+
+Matrix will:
+1. Initialize a change with workflow type `full` and frozen orchestration `prim|arch`
+2. Enter `open`; Prim works directly, while Arch invokes only proven requirement triggers
+3. Create `proposal.md` with Goal, Scope, Non-goals, Acceptance, Risks
+4. Guard check: are all sections substantive?
+5. If pass → transition to `design`
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Phases
+
+| Phase | Arch capabilities (triggered, not a fixed sequence) | Deliverables | Guard Condition |
+|-------|------------------------------------------------------|--------------|-----------------|
+| **open** | `/grilling`, `/domain-modeling` | `proposal.md`; optional repository-standard context/ADR evidence | Goal, Scope, Non-goals, Acceptance, Risks present |
+| **design** | `/domain-modeling`, `/research`, `/wayfinder`, `/prototype`, `/codebase-design` | `design.md`, `plan.md` | Decisions, Test seams, Steps documented |
+| **build** | `/tdd`, `/diagnosing-bugs`, `/resolving-merge-conflicts` | Code, `verification.md` | Exact approved Contract matches; build evidence recorded |
+| **verify** | `/code-review` | Test & review evidence | Test and review evidence present |
+| **archive** | None; Matrix-owned in both modes | Archive record | Verify guard passed |
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+State is stored in `.matrix/`:

-| Type | When to Use | Phases |
-|------|-------------|--------|
-| **full** | New features, architecture changes | All 5 phases |
-| **hotfix** | Reproducible small bugs | Simplified: open → build → verify → archive |
-| **tweak** | Bounded changes, no API/schema impact | Simplified: open → build → verify → archive |

----
-
-## Special Feature: matrix-claude
-
-**Default usage**: Just use the main workflow (`$matrix`). Whether you're using Codex or Claude Code, the standard flow works for both:
+# Diagnose an interrupted Workflow without writing
+matrix workflow doctor
 
+# Repair only the exact transaction or stale lock reported by doctor
+matrix workflow doctor --repair --transaction <id> --strategy <continue|rollback>
+matrix workflow doctor --repair --lock <id>
 ```
-$matrix → open → design → build → verify → archive
-```
-
-**When to use `$matrix-claude`**: Only when you want to **split the work across tools** — use Codex for design, then hand off to Claude Code for implementation.
-
-| Scenario | What to Do |
-|----------|------------|
-| Use one tool for everything (default) | Just use `$matrix`, no extra steps |
-| Codex designs + Codex implements | Standard flow: design → build → verify |
-| Codex designs + Claude Code implements | design → `$matrix-claude` → Claude Code → verify |
-
-### How matrix-claude Works
-
-1. Design phase completes, guard passes
-2. Run `$matrix-claude` → exports frozen design as `artifacts/claude-task.md`
-3. Claude Code reads the task package and implements
-4. Claude Code produces evidence in `artifacts/verification.md`
-5. Return to Matrix: build guard → verify → archive
-
-The sidecar does NOT change Matrix state. It's a pure export — like taking a snapshot of the design for another tool to consume.
-
----
 
+`matrix.yaml` is the only canonical workflow/orchestration/phase/status/revision record, using `matrix/change/v2`. The resolved `prim|arch` value is frozen at initialization. Older schemas are rejected without mutation. The Design -> Build transition records a SHA-256 identity of the exact bytes of `proposal.md`, `design.md`, and `plan.md`; any byte change blocks Build, Verify, Archive, and Claude export until a controlled Return to Design and a new approval. Final Archive requires a read-only dry-run and a hash-bound commit; Runtime recomputes the protected change-directory manifest inside the Archive boundary and rejects drift. Every multi-file Workflow mutation is protected by a durable journal under `.matrix/transactions/`. `matrix workflow doctor` is read-only, and recovery requires the exact transaction/strategy or lock identity it reports. Terminal journals become bounded audit receipts; unresolved or conflicting journals are never automatically deleted.

 ## Integration with Matt Pocock's Skills
 
-Matrix is designed to work **on top of** Matt Pocock's skills, not replace them. Here's how they map:
-
-### open Phase
-
-| Skill | How Matrix Uses It |
-|-------|-------------------|
-| `/grill-with-docs` | Main skill: runs `/grilling` + `/domain-modeling` to clarify requirements |
-| `/grilling` | Stress-tests the plan through relentless Q&A |
-| `/domain-modeling` | Establishes shared vocabulary, creates `CONTEXT.md` and ADRs |
-
-### design Phase (Recommended Order)
-
-| Order | Skill | How Matrix Uses It |
-|-------|-------|-------------------|
-| 1 | `/domain-modeling` | Establish or refine domain vocabulary from the proposal |
-| 2 | `/research` | Investigate external APIs, docs, specs (runs in background) |
-| 3 | `/wayfinder` | Explore complex codebase structure and dependencies |
-| 4 | `/prototype` | Validate design questions with throwaway experiments |
-| 5 | `/codebase-design` | Define module boundaries, interfaces, test seams |
-
-### build Phase
-
-| Skill | How Matrix Uses It |
-|-------|-------------------|
-| `/implement` | Main skill: executes plan with TDD, then runs code review, then commits |
-| `/tdd` | Auto-invoked by `/implement`: red-green-refactor at pre-agreed seams |
-| `/diagnosing-bugs` | On failure: builds tight feedback loop before fixing |
-| `/resolving-merge-conflicts` | On merge conflicts: systematic resolution |
-
-### verify Phase
-
-| Skill | How Matrix Uses It |
-|-------|-------------------|
-| `/code-review` | Two-axis review: **Standards** (coding conventions) + **Spec** (requirements fidelity) |
-| `/improve-codebase-architecture` | Optional: scan for shallow-module deepening opportunities |
-
----
-
-**Key difference**: Matt Pocock's skills are individual tools. Matrix adds:
-- **State persistence**: Survives context loss
-- **Phase enforcement**: Can't skip design and jump to build
-- **Evidence requirements**: Guards check for artifacts, not assertions
-- **Transition logging**: Full audit trail of phase changes

+Prim uses Matrix's own capability. Arch uses one initialization-verified cohort of ten atomic capabilities:
+
+| Phase | Capability | Trigger |
+|---|---|---|
+| open | `/grilling` | Material ambiguity or explicit stress-test request |
+| open/design | `/domain-modeling` | Unclear vocabulary, invariants, or architectural decisions |
+| design | `/research` | Required external facts are unavailable in the repository |
+| design | `/wayfinder` | Module ownership or dependency seams are unknown |
+| design | `/prototype` | A material design question needs disposable evidence |
+| design | `/codebase-design` | A deep-module, interface, or test-seam decision remains |
+| build | `/tdd` | Observable behavior changes at a testable seam |
+| build | `/diagnosing-bugs` | An actual failure exists and root cause is unknown |
+| build | `/resolving-merge-conflicts` | A merge or rebase conflict is in progress |
+| verify | `/code-review` | Standards and Spec review evidence is required |
+
+`grill-with-docs`, `implement`, and `improve-codebase-architecture` are not Matrix-managed or automatically invoked. Existing user-installed copies are preserved as unmanaged extras. A companion never transitions, commits, archives, or writes Matrix state.
