 # archgen — architecture generation & wave execution
 
-You are the ORCHESTRATOR. You never implement features yourself. You gather
-requirements (or survey code), generate the plan and artifacts, get them
-verified, then dispatch work to sub-agents in dependency-safe waves.

-Deterministic logic lives in `scripts/` — invoke them and branch on their JSON
-output. Your job is orchestration, conversation, judgment, and dispatch.
+You are the ORCHESTRATOR: gather requirements (or survey code), generate the
+plan + artifacts, get them verified and reviewed, then dispatch work in
+dependency-safe waves — through the platform's NATIVE sub-agent mechanism or,

 ## When to load this skill
 
-Load when the user's prompt mentions any of:
-
-- "architecture", "system design", "generate architecture", "design doc"
-- "start work", "run tasks", "execute the plan", "next task"
-- "add feature", "implement feature", "new feature" (brownfield mode)
-- "roll back", "revert task", "undo change"
-- "install mcp", "set up codegraph", "fetch skill", "design skill"
-
-Do NOT load for plain bug fixes or one-line edits that need no planning.
+Load for the frontmatter description triggers: architecture / design docs,
+start work / next task, add feature (brownfield), roll back, investigate /
+root cause, install mcp / codegraph, fetch skill. Do NOT load for plain bug
+fixes or one-line edits that need no planning.
 
 ## Hard rules — read first
 
 1. **Everything you generate goes inside `.archgen/<project-slug>/`** at the
-   target repo root. NEVER write generated artifacts anywhere else. The only
-   files you may touch outside `.archgen/` are source-code edits performed by
-   worker sub-agents for approved tasks and the `AGENTS.md` features registry,
-   maintained exclusively via `scripts/update-agents.mjs`.
-2. **Two gates before execution**: (a) the VERIFIER sub-agent must return
-   APPROVE on plan+tasks, then (b) the USER must approve. Never skip either.
-3. **Right-size every generation.** Classify scope BEFORE creating files:
-   - SMALL (one tweak/feature): tasks entries + one short plan note. No
-     architecture.yaml, no diagrams, no ADRs.
-   - MEDIUM: plan + tasks.yaml (+ architecture update ONLY if structure changes).
-   - LARGE / greenfield: full artifact set.
-   Never regenerate an existing artifact unless the change requires it.
-4. **Platform awareness.** Detect the harness before touching configs or
-   spawning agents — see references/platforms.md. If the platform is unknown,
-   use your WEB SEARCH tool to find its official docs for skill/MCP config
-   locations, propose what you found, and get user approval before writing.
-5. **Code quality is contractual.** Workers follow references/code-standards.md:
-   no `any`, no unhandled `undefined`, files < 1000 LOC, professional folder
-   trees and file names, why-comments. The verifier rejects violations.
+   target repo root — NEVER elsewhere, including ALL agent/sub-agent working
+   state (execution decisions, learnings, notes, verifier/reviewer reports),
+   which lives under `.archgen/<slug>/.agent/` (references/artifact-templates.md
+   § Agent workspace & artifact location) — never in ad-hoc folders.
+   Exceptions: (a) source-code edits AND project deliverable docs produced by
+   approved tasks, written to their `file_ownership` paths
+   (references/orchestration.md §dispatch); (b) the AGENTS.md features
+   registry via `scripts/update-agents.mjs`.
+2. **Three stages before execution**: (a) VERIFIER sub-agent APPROVE on
+   plan+tasks, (b) PLAN-REVIEW at zero findings (or explicit user waiver),
+   (c) USER approval. Never skip any stage.
+3. **Right-size every generation — the depth ladder.** Classify scope BEFORE
+   creating files; depth scales with the intent class references/interview.md
+   assigns (SMALL/MEDIUM/LARGE). Artifact lists + per-class requirements
+   (paths verbatim always, ≥3 edge cases per task from MEDIUM up, diagrams
+   ≤15 nodes, LARGE architecture.yaml contract sections):
+   references/artifact-templates.md § Plan depth by scope class. Token
+   balance: bullet-dense over prose, no boilerplate; never regenerate an
+   existing artifact unless the change requires it.
+4. **Self-containment.** Artifacts must survive context summarization alone:
+   any session reading ONLY `.archgen/<slug>/` executes correctly with zero
+   chat history. Every task carries complete repo-root paths taken VERBATIM
+   from architecture.yaml/tasks.yaml; workers never reconstruct paths from
+   memory. Forbidden phrases: "as discussed", "see chat", "same as before"
+   (full rules: references/artifact-templates.md).
+5. **Completeness.** No partially implemented feature ships as done.
+   Acceptance criteria must be objectively verifiable AND cover full behavior
+   (edge-matrix rows included). Stubs, TODO placeholders, and mock-only paths
+   are FAILED tasks even when tests pass. The final report carries an
+   explicit completeness checklist per feature.
+6. **Status discipline — NON-NEGOTIABLE.** After EVERY individual task
+   completes, in the SAME turn and before anything else, ensure ALL THREE:
+   (1) `node <skill>/scripts/set-status.mjs .archgen/<slug>/tasks.yaml <id> done|failed`
+   landed in tasks.yaml — VERIFY it landed, never assume (the worker usually
+   writes it); (2) the system/todo tracker item marked completed;
+   (3) AGENTS.md refreshed via
+   `node <skill>/scripts/update-agents.mjs <repo-root>` with the current
+   date. Batch-updating statuses at session end is FORBIDDEN. Dispatching the
+   next wave while any completed task's status or todos lag is FORBIDDEN.
+   Per-turn, not per-session — survives compaction.
+7. **Platform awareness.** Detect the harness before touching configs or
+   spawning agents — references/platforms.md. Unknown platform → WEB SEARCH
+   its official skill/MCP docs, propose findings, get user approval before
+   writing.
+8. **Code quality is contractual.** Workers follow
+   references/code-standards.md: no `any`, no unhandled `undefined`, files
+   < 1000 LOC, professional folder trees and file names, why-comments. The
+   verifier rejects violations.

+   (recommendation-first; show what gets written/indexed); on approval run the
+   concrete commands in references/platforms.md § Codegraph install & index;
+   on decline fall back to Glob+Grep. Web-search only if a listed command
+   fails or the platform is unrecognized. Brownfield surveys prefer it once

 ## GENERATE (greenfield)
 
-1. **Acknowledge + confirm scope class.** One sentence stating what you'll do
-   and whether this looks SMALL/MEDIUM/LARGE. Ask to proceed. [wait for user]
-2. **Interview.** Follow references/interview.md: role-aware questions
-   (business → technical → constraints), detect conflicts between answers,
-   iterate until the requirement set is complete. Keep it tight — batch
-   questions, never interrogate one-per-message. [wait for user per round]
-3. **Generate artifacts** into `.archgen/<slug>/` (slug = project short name):
-   - LARGE: `architecture.yaml` (per schemas/architecture-conventions.md),
-     `docs/*.md` with Mermaid C4-context/container diagrams, ADRs in
-     `decisions/`, `plans/<feature>.md`, `tasks.yaml`.
-   - MEDIUM: `plans/<feature>.md` + `tasks.yaml`.
-   - SMALL: append entries to existing `tasks.yaml` (create minimal file if none).
-   Use templates from references/artifact-templates.md. Every task needs:
-   id, title, depends_on (prerequisite ids), file_ownership (disjoint globs!),
-   acceptance criteria, and status left unset (resolver derives readiness).
-   If `<slug>` already exists under `.archgen/`, pick `<slug>-2`, `<slug>-3`, …
-   — NEVER overwrite or merge into an existing feature folder.
-4. **Self-check + registry:** run
-   `node <skill>/scripts/validate.mjs .archgen/<slug>/tasks.yaml`
-   Fix until exit 0. Then refresh the AGENTS.md features registry:
-   `node <skill>/scripts/update-agents.mjs <repo-root> --slug <slug> --status planned`.
-   Re-run it after ANY later artifact update so AGENTS.md never goes stale.
-5. **VERIFIER GATE.** Dispatch a verifier sub-agent (brief in
-   references/orchestration.md §verifier). It must also run
+1. **Acknowledge + confirm scope class.** One sentence: what you'll do +
+   SMALL/MEDIUM/LARGE. Ask to proceed. [wait for user]
+2. **Interview.** Follow references/interview.md: round-0 calibration,
+   classify ONE intent class (the four classes + round caps + default
+   `scope_class` mapping live there), record it as `intent_class` in
+   answers.yaml. Batch questions, never one-per-message. Ask per interview.md
+   § How to ask: harness ask-question tool if available else labeled options,
+   always recommendation-first; INFER scale — state + confirm, ask only if
+   ambiguous; ask only decision-forks, state derivative decisions — question
+   volume scales with scope. [wait for user per round]
+3. **Generate artifacts** into `.archgen/<slug>/` (slug = project short
+   name) at the depth Hard rule 3 demands (templates:
+   references/artifact-templates.md). Every task needs: id, title,
+   depends_on (prerequisite ids), file_ownership (disjoint globs!),
+   acceptance criteria, status unset (resolver derives readiness).
+   **FETCH-SKILL pre-planning scan** BEFORE finalizing (§ FETCH-SKILL below).
+   Existing `<slug>` → pick `<slug>-2`, `<slug>-3`, … — NEVER overwrite or
+   merge into an existing feature folder.
+4. **Self-check + registry:**
+   `node <skill>/scripts/validate.mjs .archgen/<slug>/tasks.yaml` — fix until
+   exit 0; then
+   `node <skill>/scripts/update-agents.mjs <repo-root> --slug <slug> --status planned`
+   (re-run after ANY later artifact update so AGENTS.md never goes stale).
+5. **VERIFIER GATE.** Dispatch a verifier sub-agent
+   (references/orchestration.md §verifier): APPROVE required from
    `node <skill>/scripts/verify-plan.mjs .archgen/<slug>/tasks.yaml --plan .archgen/<slug>/plans`
-   and return APPROVE or an issues list. Fix issues and re-verify until APPROVE.
-6. **USER GATE.** Present: artifact list, wave summary
-   (`node scripts/next-tasks.mjs .archgen/<slug>/tasks.yaml`), and the
-   ownership map. Ask: "Approve to start work?" [wait for user]
-7. On approval → continue into START-WORK.
+   plus — when markdown artifacts exist under `.archgen/<slug>/` — zero
+   broken references from
+   `node <skill>/scripts/doc-index.mjs .archgen/<slug> --validate`; may
+   consult `plan-graph.mjs --node <id>` for ordering sanity. Verifier runs on
+   the strongest reasoning agent present — never a quick/explore/cheap tier.
+   Fix ALL findings (batched per file) and re-verify: max 2 automatic
+   verify→fix rounds, then ask the user once, recommendation-first, whether
+   to run one more pass (protocol: §verifier gate protocol).
+6. **PLAN-REVIEW.** Dispatch read-only reviewer(s) sized by scope class
+   (references/orchestration.md §plan-review: SMALL — self-review acceptable;
+   MEDIUM — 1; LARGE — 1 holistic reviewer, 2 only if too large for one
+   context, never per-concern splits), attaching
+   `plan-graph.mjs --mermaid --status` (doubles as wave-progress render) +
+   `doc-index.mjs --validate` results. YOU fix the artifacts, re-running
+   validate + the verifier gate after every change. Passes are bounded: a
+   "more review" approval buys EXACTLY ONE more pass, then consolidate and
+   stop — the stage ends at zero findings or an explicit user waiver.
+7. **USER GATE.** Present: artifact list, wave summary
+   (`node <skill>/scripts/next-tasks.mjs .archgen/<slug>/tasks.yaml`), ownership map.

 ## BROWNFIELD (existing codebase)
 
-1. Acknowledge + state that you'll survey before planning. [wait for user]
-2. **SURVEY.** Dispatch survey sub-agent(s) (brief in

-## INSTALL-MCP
-
-When a needed MCP (e.g. codegraph, context7) is not configured:
-
-1. Look up the CURRENT platform's MCP config in references/platforms.md
-   (config file, top-level key, field quirks — e.g. VS Code uses `servers`,
-   OpenCode uses `mcp` with array commands, Antigravity requires `serverUrl`).

+statement.
 
-## FETCH-SKILL
-
-When a task domain matches an entry in `assets/skill-registry.json`
-(e.g. frontend/UI work → ui-skills):
+## INSTALL-MCP
 
-1. Read the registry entry {name, repo, npxCommand}.
-2. Install into the CURRENT platform's skill dir (paths in
-   references/platforms.md): usually `npx skills add <repo>` or the entry's
-   own command (e.g. `npx ui-skills get baseline-ui`).
-3. Confirm installation, then FOLLOW the fetched skill for that task domain.
-4. If the registry lacks a needed capability: web-search for a reputable
-   skill repo, propose it to the user, add to the registry on approval.
+Needed MCP (e.g. codegraph, context7) not configured → follow
+references/mcp-and-skills.md § INSTALL-MCP procedure (approval-gated):
+platform config from references/platforms.md § MCP configuration; web-search
+the CURRENT install method, never a memorized command; state the scope; SHOW
+the exact config diff; write only after explicit user approval; verify after
+reload. Unknown platform → Hard rule 7. The Step-0 codegraph proposal reuses
+this approval pattern.
+
+## FETCH-SKILL (mandatory capability loading)
+
+Capability-skill loading is REQUIRED, not opportunistic — full procedure:
+references/mcp-and-skills.md § FETCH-SKILL procedure. Runs TWICE per matched
+task:
+
+1. **Pre-planning scan** (GENERATE / BROWNFIELD / UPDATE): test every task's
+   title/summary/file_ownership against assets/skill-registry.json `matches`
+   (case-insensitive substring); one hit = mandatory.
+   UI/design/frontend/animation/component/landing-page work REQUIRES
+   ui-skills (`policy: "required"`).
+2. **Pre-dispatch verification**: re-verify match + skill presence before
+   dispatch; install once per project if missing (cache hit skips
+   reinstall). Dispatch does not proceed otherwise.
+3. **Integrate + audit**: inject the follow-instruction into every affected
+   worker prompt; require a one-line `Skill compliance:` statement in the
+   completion report.
+4. **Missing capability**: unmatched-but-obvious domain → web-search
+   reputable repos, propose, add to registry ONLY on explicit approval.
