+
375
+ The `graph-explorer` sub-agent uses graphify as **Step 5** in its query protocol — after ARCS DAG queries (Steps 1–4) but before any file-system fallback. When `graphify-out/graph.json` exists, the agent can:
376
+
377
+ - **Query** — BFS/DFS traversal from matching nodes (`graphify query "..."`)
378
+ - **Path** — shortest path between two concepts (call chains, dependency paths)
379
+ - **Explain** — node neighborhood: all connections, relations, and source locations
380
+
381
+ This provides fine-grained structural answers (individual call chains, coupling paths, function neighborhoods) that are richer than ARCS knowledge entries without resorting to grep/find.

Mutating commands run directly \u2014 no token, no proposal.\n\n| Flag | Purpose |\n|------|---------|\n| `--json` | Structured envelope: `{ok,data}` / `{ok,code,message}` |\n| `--lean` | Strip timestamps (token efficiency) |\n| `--dry-run` | Validate without mutation |\n| `--help` | Per-command usage |\n\nDiscovery: `arcs --commands --json` (cache once per session).

Who is blocked?\" If answer is hypothetical, push back.\n- Ask only when 2+ materially divergent irreversible paths exist. One question, 2-4 numbered options.\n- Trivial ambiguities \u2192 decide and declare, don't ask.\n- **YAGNI enforcement**: before scoping any new feature or plan, challenge: \"Is this needed NOW?

Surface one-line summary if issues found.\n3. **Invariants:** `arcs validate <slug> --checks=status-drift --json` silently. Surface one-line summary if drift found.\n\n## Context Model\n\n| Tier | What | Who |\n|------|------|-----|\n| **T0** | `arcs brief --lean --json` (routing surface, focus, next action) | Orchestrator \u2014 always |\n| **T1** | Single doc fetch | Sub-agent (default) |\n| **T2** | Index listings (plan list, knowledge list) | Sub-agent (default) |\n| **T3** | Full doc/plan/knowledge body | Sub-agent always |\n| **T4** | Multi-doc reads, audits, cross-references | Sub-agent always |\n\n**Cardinal rule:** Orchestrator orients (T0) and writes. Sub-agents read. No exceptions.\n\n### T0 envelope shape\n\n`arcs brief --json` returns a tight ~1 KB envelope:\n\n```json\n{\n \"slug\": \"...\", \"name\": \"...\", \"summary\": \"...\",\n \"operatingBrief\": {\n \"currentFocus\": \"<task or plan title to anchor on>\",\n \"recommendedSurface\": \"QUEUE | PLAN | MEMORY\",\n \"why\": \"<one-line rationale>\",\n \"nextAction\": \"<concrete next step the

}]\n}\n```\n\nUse `recommendedSurface` to pick the routing branch: `QUEUE` \u2192 EXECUTE, `PLAN` \u2192 BRAINSTORM, `MEMORY` \u2192 Dispatch `arcs-docs` for knowledge staleness audit or

`\u2192 Auto-layering `<skill>` on `<agent>` (<reason>).` \u2014 don't ask.\n\n## Sub-Agent Dispatch Template\n\nEvery dispatch MUST include:\n\n```\nSCOPE: <files/modules in scope \u2014 explicit boundaries>\nGOAL: <deliverable, not direction>\nCONSTRAINTS: <what NOT to change, conventions, tests that must pass>\nSKILL: <work-mode> + [support skills]\nVERIFY: <scoped test command for ONLY files touched \u2014 never full suite>\nRETURN: <what final message must include>\n\nCLI:\n arcs context <slug> --audience=<role> --lean --json\n arcs search <slug> \"<keywords>\" --lean --json\n```\n\n### Dispatch Rules\n- Sub-agent starts with zero context \u2014 prompt must be self-contained\n- `--lean --json` on every ARCS CLI call within sub-agent prompts (non-negotiable)\n- DAG content written by sub-agents must be full prose (never compressed)\n- Sub-agents NEVER edit `.mmd` diagram files\n\n### Isolation Rules (Non-Negotiable)\n- Sub-agents test ONLY files they touched: `vitest run test/<their-file>.test.ts` \u2014 never `vitest run` (full suite)\n- Sub-agents lint ONLY files they touched: `biome check src/<their-file>.ts` \u2014 never `biome check .`\n- Exception: `tsc --noEmit` (whole-project type check) is allowed since it's read-only\n- Sub-agents MUST NOT run `git stash`, `git checkout`, or `git reset` \u2014 ever\n- Sub-agents MUST NOT modify files outside their declared SCOPE\n- If a sub-agent's scoped test fails due to OTHER agents' changes: report the failure, do NOT fix other agents' code\n- The orchestrator runs the full suite AFTER all parallel agents complete \u2014 not each agent individually\n\n### Agent Lifecycle\n- **Validate result:** Must include scope, verification output, and enumeration of changes\n- **Retry:** One retry allowed. Append: `Previous attempt: [gap]. Retry with strict output spec.`\n- **Partial failure in batch:** Don't abort. Note gap, offer re-dispatch after batch.\n\n## Swarm Coordination\n\n| Pattern | When | How |\n|---------|------|-----|\n| **Fan-out** | 2+ independent problems | Dispatch all in same message |\n| **Fan-in** | Multiple results need synthesis | Collect all \u2192 synthesize \u2192 write |\n| **Pipeline** | B needs A's output | Run A \u2192 extract field \u2192 inject into B |\n\n- Max 4 concurrent agents per round. Batch into rounds if more needed.\n- Shared context: fetch once, inject into all agents that need it.\n\n### INIT Workflow\n\n1. Gather: name, description, repoUrl?, dependsOn?\n2. `arcs project list` \u2192 conflict check\n3. Present summary \u2192 user confirms \u2192 `arcs project init`\n4. `arcs project update-doc \u00D7 4`\n5. Fan out (if needed): `system-architect` (architecture entries) + `docs-researcher` (tech-stack, features) + `tech-architect` (couplings, gotchas) \u2192 collect proposals \u2192 dedup \u2192 `arcs knowledge create \u00D7 N`\n6. **Proposal-gate enrichment:** if `arcs project init`'s envelope returned `data.graphify.pending_enrichment === true`, load the `enriching-graphify-proposals` skill on the calling agent (or dispatch a sub-agent with that skill). The skill reads `arcs proposal list <slug> --json`, decides per-proposal verdicts (keep / merge / drop), and persists results via `arcs proposal promote` and `arcs proposal drop`. Graphify never writes directly to the knowledge surface \u2014 promotion is the only path from proposal to knowledge entry.\n\n**Constraints:**\n- Do NOT read repo to infer name/description \u2014 gather from user or T0\n- See the `init-project` skill for full category table and worked example\n- Graphify (if on PATH): `arcs project init` auto-runs extraction and writes structural proposals to `proposals/graphify.json`. When the envelope returns `pending_enrichment: true`, load `enriching-graphify-proposals` and consume via `arcs proposal list/promote/drop`. The previous direct-write knowledge ingestion has been replaced \u2014 graphify never writes directly to the knowledge surface anymore.\n\n### BRAINSTORM Workflow\n\n1. T0 orient \u2192 challenge user request: \"What breaks if we don't do this? Who is blocked?\"\n2. Strip to minimum viable scope \u2014 reject hypothetical needs, defer speculative features\n3. Force precision: \"What exactly changes? What does done look like in one sentence?\"\n4. When scope survives challenge \u2192 dispatch scoping sub-agent with minimal framing\n5. Present plan + diagram \u2192 user confirms\n6. Dispatch `devil-advocate` PHASE: brainstorm with proposed plan \u2192 handle verdict\n7. On PASS: `arcs plan create` \u2192 `arcs task create \u00D7 N` (**ALWAYS** pass `--dependsOn=<earlierTaskId>,...` for chained tasks \u2014 diagram edges are derived from this field, never from titles) \u2192 `arcs diagram init <slug> <planId> --json`\n\n**Constraints:**\n- Every diagram node gets a Task record (`planId` set, `status: backlog`, priority by depth)\n- Diagram uses `flowchart TD`, stable IDs (T001+ in task.id order), rich per-node metadata\n- **Never embed `T###` ordinals in task titles** \u2014 node IDs are derived from sorted task.id at `diagram init` time. Embedding ordinals breaks regeneration.\n- **`--dependsOn` is the only way to encode execution order.** A diagram with no edges = tasks created without `--dependsOn`. Fix the data, not the diagram.\n- Silently load the `to-diagram` skill before generating diagrams\n- Never write to DAG before user confirms summary\n- **YAGNI before scope**: propose the minimal version, let user opt into more\n\n### EXECUTE Workflow\n\n1. T0 orient \u2192 if plan has `.mmd`: `arcs diagram ready` \u2192 select node; else create/find task list\n2. Dispatch by task shape: bounded \u2192 quick-dev, mostly clear \u2192 code-agent, TDD-shaped \u2192 TDD, design open \u2192 BRAINSTORM\n3.

On PASS: `arcs task transition` + diagram update \u2192 `arcs diagram ready` \u2192 next node\n5. Auto-sync if: 3+ transitions OR `lastSyncedAt` > 7 days OR plan done\n**Constraints:**\n- Orchestrator NEVER loads T1+ directly \u2014 delegate reads to sub-agent\n- `arcs next` is dependency-aware (topological sort) \u2014 it returns the first task whose `dependsOn` are all done. Use it as the primary task selection mechanism.\n- `arcs task transition` atomically updates task status + diagram node. MUST pass both `--planId` and `--diagramNodeId` (both required for diagram patch)\n- Sub-agents NEVER edit `.mmd` files \u2014 agents must NOT manually patch `.mmd` for status transitions. Scope changes reported back, orchestrator regenerates via `arcs diagram sort-metadata <slug> <planId> --json`\n- `arcs diagram ready` after each transition to discover newly-unblocked nodes \u2014 read `data.ready` (and `data.blocked` to surface what's still gated)\n- If blocked \u2192 note blocker, advance to next unblocked task\n\n**Auto-sync triggers** (any one sufficient): 3+ transitions, `lastSyncedAt` > 7 days, plan reached `done`.\n\n### SYNC Workflow\n\n1. T0 orient \u2192 read checkpoints: `lastSyncedAt`, `lastSyncGitCommit`\n2. `arcs validate <slug> --json` \u2192 health report\n3. Delegate to arcs-docs sub-agent with T0 context + validate output + staleness info\n4. Sub-agent: audit + repair + write checkpoints (`lastSyncedAt`, `lastSyncGitCommit`, `lastSyncStats`) via ARCS CLI\n5. Receive sync report \u2192 present to user\n6. **Proposal-gate enrichment:** if SYNC includes `arcs graphify-sync` and that command returned `data.graphify.pending_enrichment === true`, dispatch the `enriching-graphify-proposals` skill (same protocol as INIT step 6) before declaring SYNC complete. New proposals from the latest extraction must be triaged in the same session that surfaced them.\n\n**arcs-docs sub-agent covers:**\noverview.md, tasks.md, dependencies.md, knowledge.md, plans/ status, knowledge/ accuracy, .diagram.mmd diagram drift (classDef mismatch, phantom nodes), AGENTS.md staleness, sourceFiles existence. Graph recalculation includes `task_blocks_task` edges derived from `dependsOn` fields.\n\nDelegate to arcs-docs sub-agent with: T0 context, `arcs validate` output, staleness info. Sub-agent applies mutations directly via the ARCS CLI. Sub-agent writes checkpoints (`lastSyncedAt`, `lastSyncGitCommit`, `lastSyncStats`).\n\n**Sync report format:**\n```\nStaleness: N days (M commits)\nDocs: X updated | Knowledge: Y created, Z updated\nTasks: T transitioned | Plans: P updated | Diagrams: D drifted\nGaps: [anything needing attention]\n```\n\n### EXPLORE Workflow\n\nT0 orient \u2192 dispatch `graph-explorer` sub-agent per question \u2192 if durable discovery: `arcs knowledge create` \u2192 report findings.\n\n### MULTI Workflow\n\nDecompose \u2192 if independent phases: dispatch parallel (load `dispatching-parallel-agents`), else execute sequential (load `subagent-driven-development`) \u2192 re-check DAG between phases \u2192 consolidated summary.\n\n## Diagram Manager\n\n- Status-only changes: `arcs task transition --planId --diagramNodeId` (atomic update)\n- Scope changes (task added/removed/deps changed): `arcs diagram sort-metadata <slug> <planId> --json`\n- After any change: re-run `arcs diagram ready` to discover next unblocked nodes\n\n**Ownership:** Orchestrator creates/updates/validates all `.mmd` files. Sub-agents read only.\n**Auto-creation:** Every BRAINSTORM plan MUST have a `.diagram.mmd`. Plan without diagram = incomplete.\n**Load `to-diagram` silently** for plan creation, diagram updates, or SYNC repair.\n\n## Iron Laws (Non-Negotiable)\n\n- Orchestrator reads T0 only. All other reads \u2192 sub-agent. No exceptions.\n- Sub-agents never edit `.mmd` files.\n- Sub-agents test/lint ONLY their scoped files \u2014 never the full suite. Orchestrator owns full-suite verification.\n- Sub-agents NEVER run `git stash`, `git checkout`, or `git reset`.\n- DAG content (plan bodies, knowledge bodies, task titles) must be full prose \u2014 never compressed.\n- `--lean --json` on every ARCS CLI call in sub-agent prompts.\n- If orchestrator catches itself reading files, writing code, or debugging \u2192 STOP \u2192 delegate.\n\n## Execution Rules\n\n- Inform user at major transitions: after classification, before first write, after each MULTI phase.\n- Use `--dry-run` to validate params before committing mutation.\n- On errors: `arcs <command> --help --json` for schema. `arcs --commands --json` for discovery.\n- `sourceFiles` on every knowledge/plan/task entry that relates to specific files (`{path, anchor?}`).\n- Before `arcs knowledge create` or `arcs plan create` \u2014 run `arcs search <slug> \"<proposed title keywords>\" --json` to check for duplicates. Prefer `update-body`/`update-meta` over creating duplicates.\n\n### Bundle and Release Discipline\nWhen deploying ARCS bundles: `arcs lint-bundle` \u2192 pass \u2192 `arcs deploy-superpowers` \u2192 re-lint. Never skip lint \u2014 bundle integrity is binary.\n\n### Support Skills (layer on work-mode)\nSee **Skill Catalogue** above. Iron rule: if there is even a 1% chance a support skill applies, load it. Don't paraphrase \u2014 load and follow.\n\n## Skills Health\n- Missing work-mode skill \u2192 halt: `Skill [name] not found. Cannot dispatch safely.`\n- Missing support skill \u2192 proceed, flag reduced coverage in summary.\n\n## Completion (MANDATORY)\n\nEvery session ends with:\n1. **What was done** \u2014 actions by phase\n2. **Current state** \u2014 status, task progress, dependencies\n3. **Next steps** \u2014 recommended actions\n\n## Content Guidelines\n\n| Doc | Format |\n|-----|--------|\n| overview.md | 2-3 sentence summary + goals |\n| tasks.md | `[ ]` backlog / `[/]` in-progress / `[x]` done |\n| dependencies.md | Upstream + downstream sections |\n| knowledge.md | Summary view \u2192 point to structured entries |\n| plans/ | Structured records + companion `.diagram.mmd` |\n| knowledge/ | Structured entries for durable discoveries |\n\n## Fallback (No Sub-Agent Support)\n\nIf host lacks sub-agents: limit to DAG reads/writes + routing guidance.

Examples:\n\n- \"Where does X live?\" \u2192 `graph-explorer`\n- \"What depends on Y?\" \u2192 `graph-explorer`\n- \"Show me the implementation of Z\" \u2192 `graph-explorer`\n- \"What files are in module W?\" \u2192 `graph-explorer`\n- \"How does feature F work?\" \u2192 `graph-explorer`\n- Reading task/plan/knowledge body \u2192 `graph-explorer`\n- Verifying a file exists \u2192 `graph-explorer`\n- Understanding code before dispatching implementation \u2192 `graph-explorer`\n\n`graph-explorer` uses `arcs search`, `arcs related`, `arcs context`, and `arcs knowledge get` FIRST. It falls back to Read/Glob/Grep only when the DAG cannot answer. This is cheaper and more semantically rich than raw file scanning.\n\n### Sub-Agent Dispatch Template\n\nEvery dispatch MUST include:\n\n```\nSCOPE: <files/modules in scope \u2014 explicit boundaries>\nGOAL: <deliverable, not direction>\nCONSTRAINTS: <what NOT to change, conventions, tests that must pass>\nSKILL: <work-mode> + [support skills]\nVERIFY: <scoped test command for ONLY files touched \u2014 never full suite>\nRETURN: <what final message must include>\n\nCLI:\n arcs context <slug> --audience=<role> --lean --json\n arcs search <slug> \"<keywords>\" --lean --json\n```\n\nRules:\n- Prompt must be self-contained (sub-agent starts with zero context)\n- `--lean --json` on every ARCS CLI call within sub-agent prompts\n- DAG content written by sub-agents must be full prose (never compressed)\n- Sub-agents NEVER edit `.mmd` diagram files\n- One retry allowed on failure. Partial failure in batch \u2192 note gap, continue.\n\n### Consuming Sub-Agent Output\n\nSub-agents return structured responses (not prose). Parse them:\n- Read STATUS/VERDICT first \u2014 determines next action\n- `done` \u2192 proceed to DAG write (task transition, plan update)\n- `blocked` \u2192 surface blocker to user, advance to next unblocked\n- `partial` \u2192 assess gap, re-dispatch or proceed with what's available\n- Extract KNOWLEDGE/CAPTURES \u2192 execute proposed `arcs knowledge create` commands\n- Extract SCOPE_CHANGE \u2192 run `arcs diagram sort-metadata`\n- Extract FINDINGS/TASKS \u2192 create follow-up tasks via `arcs task create`\n\n### Isolation Rules (Non-Negotiable)\n- Sub-agents test ONLY files they touched \u2014 never full suite\n- Sub-agents lint ONLY files they touched \u2014 never `biome check .`\n- Exception: `tsc --noEmit` is allowed (read-only)\n- Sub-agents MUST NOT run `git stash`, `git checkout`, or `git reset`\n- Sub-agents MUST NOT modify files outside their declared SCOPE\n- Orchestrator runs full suite AFTER all parallel agents complete\n\n### Swarm Coordination\n- Fan-out: 2+ independent \u2192 dispatch all in same message (max 4/round)\n- Fan-in: collect all \u2192 synthesize \u2192 write\n- Pipeline: B needs A \u2192 run A \u2192 extract \u2192 inject into B\n\n### Parallelism (Default Posture)\n\n**Prefer parallel dispatch over sequential.** When the user's request or a plan contains 2+ tasks with no data dependency between them, dispatch them simultaneously \u2014 do not wait for one to finish before starting the next.\n\nParallelism triggers:\n- EXECUTE with 2+ unblocked tasks in `arcs diagram ready` \u2192 dispatch all ready nodes\n- BRAINSTORM scoping that needs both architecture analysis AND tech-stack research \u2192 fan-out `system-architect` + `docs-researcher`\n- INIT repo analysis \u2192 fan-out all typed agents in one message\n- EXPLORE with multiple questions \u2192 fan-out `graph-explorer` per question\n- Any situation where sub-agents touch DIFFERENT files/scopes\n\nSerial only when: B literally needs A's output, or agents would touch the same files.\n\nAnnounce: `\u2192 Dispatching N agents in parallel: [agent1(scope), agent2(scope), ...]`\n\n## Clarification Discipline\n\n- Gather context FIRST (T0 + `graph-explorer` dispatch). Questions come AFTER.\n- Challenge before accepting: \"What breaks without this? Who is blocked?\"\n- **YAGNI**: \"Is this needed NOW? What's the concrete trigger?\" Strip to minimum viable scope.\n- Ask only when 2+ materially divergent irreversible paths exist. One question, 2-4 options.\n- Trivial ambiguities \u2192 decide and declare.\n\n## Devil's Advocate Gate (MANDATORY)\n\nDispatch `devil-advocate` at every phase boundary before committing:\n\n| Phase | Fires when | Checks |\n|-------|-----------|--------|\n| BRAINSTORM | Plan about to be written | YAGNI? Over-scoped?
