 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+## 0.11.0
+
+### Added
+
+- Added `artifact-chain-requirements` for preserving requirement entries, creating incremental
+  SPECs, and recording item-level acceptance with evidence and current-artifact destinations.
+- Added requirement and SPEC starter templates, requirement transition checks, project-shape and
+  adoption-stage readiness guidance, and matching routes across generated host adapters.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Project inventory and task orientation report approval, implementation, verification, and
+  release separately. Graph declarations, locks, test files, and release input lists no longer
+  stand in for authoritative execution or publication results.
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- **Entry skills renamed with the `artifact-chain-` prefix.** In multi-plugin environments the
+  bare entry names collided with same-named skills from other plugins and their descriptions
+  claimed bare global prompts. The four entries are now `artifact-chain-help` (was `help`),
+  `artifact-chain-setup` (was `setup`), `artifact-chain-quickstart` (was `quickstart`), and
+  `artifact-chain-where-am-i` (was `where-am-i`) — consistent with the existing
+  `artifact-chain-bootstrap` and `artifact-chain-maintainer` naming. No compatibility aliases or
+  symlinks are kept. Update prompts, scripts, and docs that referenced the old bare names.
+  Method registry refs (`artifact.help`, `artifact.setup`, `artifact.quickstart`) are unchanged;
+  only the provider skill names moved.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`artifact-chain-setup` is now a general install skill.** It still starts with read-only
+  diagnostics (plugin closure, Node/CLI, doctor, config, version lock, registry) and a PASS/WARN/FAIL
+  report, but after showing a mechanical install plan and receiving explicit user confirmation it
+  executes the mechanical steps itself: installing the `artifact-graph` CLI from the plugin's pinned
+  install spec, installing/updating Git hooks, injecting the minimal `AGENTS.md` trigger block, and
+  creating the thin `CLAUDE.md` pointer — then re-runs diagnostics to verify. Steps are idempotent,
+  and outdated existing blocks are reported for user decision instead of being overwritten.
+  Project-level decisions (artifact type trimming, `artifact-graph.config.yaml` contract content,
+  version-lock bootstrap, full workflow-methodology sections) remain with `artifact-chain-bootstrap`.
+  Autonomous or overwriting installs without user confirmation remain forbidden.
+- Entry descriptions and the quickstart routing vectors are domain-qualified: they respond to
+  artifact-chain/artifact-graph/制品链/版本锁 cues only and no longer claim bare global prompts
+  such as "hello", "what can you do", or "is my environment ready". The vague `ask` routing
+  target is retired; unclear domain input still gets a clarifying question instead of a guessed
+  route.
+- Runtime compatibility, installation commands, plugin manifests, Family API metadata, and adapter
+  catalogs are synchronized with `artifact-graph@0.11.0`.

-2. **`setup`** — Run this skill when you ask "is my environment ready". It performs read-only

 The bootstrap skill selects a minimum viable profile for your project shape. As the project matures,
 you may need additional artifact types (API contracts, deployment manifests, security reviews, etc.).
 
+### Project shape and stage readiness
+
+Use the existing workflow-profile checker to calculate adoption readiness without writing project
+files. The flags below are the public CLI contract; omit `--types` unless the user explicitly selected
+types that are not yet present in config or a workflow profile:
+
+```bash
+node "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/check-workflow-profile.mjs" \
+  --root . \
+  --project-shape cli-library \
+  --adoption-stage daily-iteration \
+  --types requirement,spec \
+  --format json
+```
+
+`candidate_types` contains shape and stage suggestions. `enabled_types` contains only candidates
+backed by the effective `artifact-graph.config.yaml`, an existing workflow profile, or explicit
+`--types` selection. Candidate-only entries are not readiness gaps. For enabled types, the report
+checks registration, starter templates, and generate/review methods separately. Requirement and SPEC
+generation can report `bundled-skill`; its presence never implies that review is ready. A review
+method must be configured in the workflow profile. The checker loads the effective graph config
+through the artifact-graph runtime and does not maintain a second YAML interpretation.
+
+### Requirement pool and iteration SPEC
+
+Use `artifact-chain-requirements` to preserve ideas, query or update their disposition, create an
+incremental SPEC, and record acceptance item by item. Without a project convention it saves
+requirements under `artifacts/requirements/` and SPECs under `artifacts/specs/`. It never creates
+an inbox or migrates IDs later. `captured` and `proposed` mean recorded but not approved;
+`implemented`, `verified`, and `released` require their own authoritative evidence.
+
+Register both types in the target project's `artifact-graph.config.yaml`; the runtime does not add
+software-domain types to its defaults:
+
+```yaml
+types:
+  requirement:
+    paths: ["artifacts/requirements/**/*.md"]

+```
+
+`statuses` replaces the whole project list rather than merging individual values. The list above is
+a base example; keep any additional project statuses when adopting it. Extend existing core type
+definitions without dropping their paths, and keep aliases for targets referenced through fields
+such as `related_features`, `related_scenarios`, `related_design_docs`, or `related_decisions`.
+
+#### Source and development requirements / 原始需求与开发需求
+
+`demand_kind` records whether the demand itself is `business`, `it`, `mixed`, or `unknown`.
+`requirement_level` separately records whether the entry preserves a source goal (`source`) or
+expresses a development requirement (`development`). Missing optional fields remain `unknown`; they do not make an
+older entry invalid. Do not infer either dimension from the other.
+
+`demand_kind` 记录诉求本身属于业务、IT、混合或未知；`requirement_level` 独立记录条目是保留原始目标的 `source`，还是已整理成可开发要求的 `development`。旧条目缺少可选字段时，对应维度为 `unknown`，条目仍然有效。两个维度不能互相推导。
+
+A child uses `parent_requirement` to point to a parent at the same level. A development entry uses
+the `derived_from` array to point to one or more source entries. Both edges point upstream: child to
+parent for `decomposes`, and development to source for `derives-from`.
+
+子条目用 `parent_requirement` 指向同层父条目；开发条目用 `derived_from` 数组指向一个或多个来源原始条目。两种边都指向上游：`decomposes` 从子到父，`derives-from` 从开发需求到来源需求。
+
+Assume `REQ-10` and `REQ-12` are existing source requirements. Store the following entries in two
+separate files. / 假设 `REQ-10` 和 `REQ-12` 是已经登记的原始需求。以下两个条目应分别保存为两个文件。
+
+Source child / 原始需求的同层子项：
+
+```yaml
+---
+id: REQ-11
+source: user-interview-2026-09-07
+demand_kind: business
+requirement_level: source
+parent_requirement: REQ-10
+---
+```
+
+Development requirement derived from two sources / 由两个来源派生的开发需求：
+
+```yaml
+---
+id: REQ-20
+source: refinement-session-2026-09-07
+demand_kind: mixed
+requirement_level: development
+derived_from: [REQ-11, REQ-12]
+---
+```
+
+The `development` value describes the expression level; it does not prove that work may start.
+Readiness still depends on unresolved questions and approval. The development entry must add an
+observable result, scope, and acceptance scenario in its body.
+When a user's direct input already has those three elements, record it directly as `development`
+and preserve the original `source`; do not create a duplicate source entry. Before writing either
+relationship, confirm that targets exist, levels are valid, and the new edge is neither self-referential
+nor cyclic. A verified child never makes its parent or source automatically verified or released.
+
+`development` 只描述需求的表达层次，不代表已经可以开工；是否可开工仍取决于待澄清问题和批准。开发条目正文必须给出可观察结果、范围和验收场景。直接输入已经具备这三项时，可直接记录为 `development` 并保留原始 `source`，无需复制一条内容相同的 source 需求。写关系前要核对目标存在、层次正确，并排除自引用和循环。子项通过验证不会自动把父项或来源项改成 verified 或 released。
+
+Copy `templates/core/requirement-entry.starter.md` and `templates/core/spec-entry.starter.md` into
+the project's authority template location before customization. A SPEC stays `open` while any
+change item is open or failed. Mark it `done` only after every item passed and records both evidence
+and its current-artifact destination; archiving a SPEC does not change requirement status.
+
+```bash
+artifact-graph validate --root . --warning-only
+artifact-graph query --from requirement:REQ-1 --format json
+artifact-graph context --target spec:SPEC-1 --view planned --format json
+node "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/requirement-state-check.mjs" \
+  artifacts/requirements/REQ-1.md --from approved --to implemented --evidence reports/acceptance.json
+```
+
+The state checker validates allowed fields and requires a non-empty evidence reference for
+`implemented`, `verified`, or `released`; it does not enforce adjacent or linear transitions and
+does not edit the entry. It reports the reference as unverified. The requirements skill must read
+the actual object, version, and result before recording the corresponding fact. An
+`implements`/`verifies` edge, source annotation, test file, fresh lock, or release input list is
+declaration evidence only. The requirements skill reports approval, implementation, verification,
+and release separately and leaves missing authoritative results as `unknown`.

+**From artifact-chain-where-am-i to bootstrap**:
 - No `artifact-graph.config.yaml` exists
 - Configuration severely inconsistent with project structure
 - Project shape changed significantly (e.g., CLI → API service)
 - Need to add new artifact types to profile
 - `artifact-graph doctor` reports configuration corruption
 
-**From where-am-i to maintainer**:
+**From artifact-chain-where-am-i to maintainer**:
 - Project has complete artifact-chain configuration
 - Daily version-lock refresh/audit needed
 - Git hook installation or update needed
 - Stale locks or orphan artifacts detected
 
+**From artifact-chain-where-am-i to artifact-chain-requirements**:
+- A new or unrefined idea must be preserved
+- Existing requirements need query, merge, deferral, rejection, or handoff updates
+- Approved requirements are entering an incremental SPEC
+- An open SPEC needs item-level acceptance or current-artifact writeback
+
 **From maintainer back to bootstrap**:
 - Configuration needs major restructuring
 - New artifact types required

-### Entry Triage (where-am-i)
+### Entry Triage (artifact-chain-where-am-i)
 - Use when you have a vague requirement or need to determine project stage
-- Routes to bootstrap for initialization, maintainer for daily work, or direct implementation
+- Inventory mode reports capabilities, evidence gaps, unknowns, and next steps before checking optional method providers
+- Task orientation routes to requirements, bootstrap, maintainer, or direct implementation
+
+### Requirement And Iteration Records (artifact-chain-requirements)
+- Use to preserve, query, merge, defer, reject, or hand off requirement entries
+- Use to create incremental SPECs and record each accepted item with evidence and its current-artifact destination
