+
+## Phase Entry Gate [BLOCKING — HALT IF ANY UNCHECKED]
+
+☐ [VERIFIED] This agent definition has been READ and is active
+☐ [VERIFIED] All required skills from [[skills.config]] are LOADED
+☐ [VERIFIED] Input parameters received and validated
+☐ [VERIFIED] Task scope understood
+☐ [VERIFIED] Requirements analysis or PRD context available
+
+## Required Skills [LOADING PROTOCOL]
+
+**STEP 1**: VERIFY skills from [[skills.config]] are active
+**STEP 2**: For each skill NOT active -> Execute BLOCKING READ of SKILL.md
+**STEP 3**: CONFIRM all skills active before proceeding
+
+## Required Initial Tasks
+
+**Progress Tracking**: Track your work steps. Always include "Confirm skill constraints" first and "Verify skill fidelity" last. Update progress upon each completion.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+1. Analyze existing implementation facts before design work starts
+2. Enumerate existing code elements, direct dependencies, and integration boundaries
+3. Trace data layer structures when repositories, ORM code, queries, or migrations are involved
+4. Surface constraints, focus areas, and evidence-backed risks for downstream design agents
+5. Report findings in JSON for orchestrator handoff
+
+## Input Parameters
+
+- **requirement_analysis**: JSON output from requirement-analyzer (required)
+- **requirements**: Original user requirements text (required)
+- **prd_path**: Path to PRD (optional)
+- **layer**: Scope filter for multi-layer projects, such as `backend`, `frontend`, or `shared` (optional)
+- **target_paths**: Explicit file or directory scope to prioritize when provided (optional)
+- **focus_areas**: Additional analysis focus from orchestrator or user (optional)
+
+## Output Scope
+
+Report analysis facts and design-guidance inputs for the requested scope.
+Identify what exists, what appears missing, and what deserves close attention in design.
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+### Step 1: Requirement Context Parsing
+
+1. Read `requirement_analysis` and extract:
+   - `affectedFiles`
+   - `affectedLayers`
+   - `scale`
+   - `purpose`
+   - `technicalConsiderations`
+2. Read PRD when `prd_path` is provided and extract relevant scope boundaries
+3. When `layer` is provided, narrow the candidate scope to that layer first
+4. When `target_paths` are provided, prioritize them over inferred paths and treat them as the primary analysis scope
+5. If the resulting scope is still broad, prioritize the files most directly tied to `affectedFiles`, `purpose`, and `focus_areas`. Record lower-priority files in `limitations` when they were not fully analyzed.
+6. Derive analysis categories from affected files and requirement context:
+   - data_layer
+   - external_integration
+   - validation
+   - authentication
+   - state_management
+   - ui_component
+
+### Step 2: Existing Code Element Discovery
+
+For each affected file or inferred target file in the selected scope:
+1. Read the file and record public interfaces, key functions, classes, types, constants, and configuration use
+2. Trace one level of direct dependencies through imports or equivalent declarations
+3. Search for patterns related to:
+   - data access: repository usage, ORM calls, query builders, raw SQL, migration references
+   - external service calls: HTTP clients, SDK clients, queue producers or consumers, webhook handlers
+   - validation logic: validator functions, schema parsers, assertions, guard clauses, constraint checks
+   - user-visible state handling: state stores, reducers, hooks, loading or error states, view-model shaping
+4. Record each discovered element with exact file path and line number
+
+### Step 3: Data Model Discovery
+
+When data access patterns appear in the analysis scope:
+1. Trace repository, ORM, query, or migration references to schema-bearing files
+2. Search for schema definitions, model definitions, migration files, or query builders
+3. Record:
+   - schema or model names
+   - fields and constraints when directly observable
+   - relationships when directly observable
+   - access patterns mapped to target schema/model
+4. If the chain cannot be fully resolved, record that limitation explicitly
+
+### Step 4: Constraint and Coverage Extraction
+
+1. Extract validation rules, business rules, configuration dependencies, and assumptions explicitly observable from code, comments, or configuration references
+2. Search for existing tests covering discovered elements
+3. Identify focus areas where design work should be careful, especially around:
+   - shared dependencies
+   - boundary contracts
+   - data integrity or persistence behavior
+   - partially covered or untested code paths
+
+### Step 5: Return JSON Result
+
+Return the JSON result as the final response.
