ce-brainstorm defines WHAT to build. ce-plan defines HOW to build it. ce-work executes the plan. A prior brainstorm is useful context but never required — ce-plan works from any input: a requirements doc, a bug report, a feature idea, or a rough description.
When directly invoked, always plan. Never classify a direct invocation as "not a planning task" and abandon the workflow. If the input is unclear, ask clarifying questions or use the planning bootstrap (Phase 0.4) to establish enough context — but always stay in the planning workflow.
This workflow produces a durable implementation plan. It does not implement code, run tests, or learn from execution-time results. If the answer depends on changing code and seeing what happens, that belongs in ce-work, not here.
When asking the user a question, use the platform's blocking question tool: AskUserQuestion in Claude Code (call ToolSearch with select:AskUserQuestion first if its schema isn't loaded), request_user_input in Codex, ask_user in Gemini, ask_user in Pi (requires the pi-ask-user extension). Fall back to numbered options in chat only when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes) — not because a schema load is required. Never silently skip the question.
Ask one question at a time. Prefer a concise single-select choice when natural options exist.
If the feature description above is empty, ask the user: "What would you like to plan? Describe the task, goal, or project you have in mind." Then wait for their response before continuing.
If the input is present but unclear or underspecified, do not abandon — ask one or two clarifying questions, or proceed to Phase 0.4's planning bootstrap to establish enough context. The goal is always to help the user plan, never to exit the workflow.
IMPORTANT: All file references in the plan document must use repo-relative paths (e.g., src/models/user.rb), never absolute paths (e.g., /Users/name/Code/project/src/models/user.rb). This applies everywhere — implementation unit file lists, pattern references, origin document links, and prose mentions. Absolute paths break portability across machines, worktrees, and teammates.
ce-brainstorm produced a requirements document, planning should build from it rather than re-inventing behavior.command -v, fetch, read) before assuming it's unavailable. Use it in place of generic alternatives. If it fails or doesn't exist, say so explicitly rather than silently substituting.Every plan should contain: - A clear problem frame and scope boundary - Concrete requirements traceability back to the request or origin document - Repo-relative file paths for the work being proposed (never absolute paths — see Planning Rules) - Explicit test file paths for feature-bearing implementation units - Decisions with rationale, not just tasks - Existing patterns or code references to follow - Enumerated test scenarios for each feature-bearing unit, specific enough that an implementer knows exactly what to test without inventing coverage themselves - Clear dependencies and sequencing
A plan is ready when an implementer can start confidently without needing the plan to write the code for them.
If the user references an existing plan file or there is an obvious recent matching plan in docs/plans/:
- Read it
- Confirm whether to update it in place or create a new plan
- If updating, revise only the still-relevant sections. Plans do not carry per-unit progress state — progress is derived from git by ce-work, so there is no progress to preserve across edits
Deepen intent: The word "deepen" (or "deepening") in reference to a plan is the primary trigger for the deepening fast path. When the user says "deepen the plan", "deepen my plan", "run a deepening pass", or similar, the target document is a plan in docs/plans/, not a requirements document. Use any path, keyword, or context the user provides to identify the right plan. If a path is provided, verify it is actually a plan document. If the match is not obvious, confirm with the user before proceeding.
Words like "strengthen", "confidence", "gaps", and "rigor" are NOT sufficient on their own to trigger deepening. These words appear in normal editing requests ("strengthen that section about the diagram", "there are gaps in the test scenarios") and should not cause a holistic deepening pass. Only treat them as deepening intent when the request clearly targets the plan as a whole and does not name a specific section or content area to change — and even then, prefer to confirm with the user before entering the deepening flow.
Once the plan is identified and appears complete (all major sections present, implementation units defined, status: active):
- If the plan lacks YAML frontmatter (non-software plans use a simple # Title heading with Created: date instead of frontmatter), route to references/universal-planning.md for editing or deepening instead of Phase 5.3. Non-software plans do not use the software confidence check.
- Otherwise, short-circuit to Phase 5.3 (Confidence Check and Deepening) in interactive mode. This avoids re-running the full planning workflow and gives the user control over which findings are integrated.
Normal editing requests (e.g., "update the test scenarios", "add a new implementation unit", "strengthen the risk section") should NOT trigger the fast path — they follow the standard resume flow.
If the plan already has a deepened: YYYY-MM-DD frontmatter field and there is no explicit user request to re-deepen, the fast path still applies the same confidence-gap evaluation — it does not force deepening.
If the task involves building, modifying, or architecting software (references code, repos, APIs, databases, or asks to build/modify/deploy), continue to Phase 0.2.
If the domain is genuinely ambiguous (e.g., "plan a migration" with no other context), ask the user before routing.
Otherwise, read references/universal-planning.md and follow that workflow instead. Skip all subsequent phases. Named tools or source links don't change this routing — they're inputs, handled per Core Principle 8.
Before asking planning questions, search docs/brainstorms/ for files matching *-requirements.md.
Relevance criteria: A requirements document is relevant if: - The topic semantically matches the feature description - It was created within the last 30 days (use judgment to override if the document is clearly still relevant or clearly stale) - It appears to cover the same user problem or scope
If multiple source documents match, ask which one to use using the platform's blocking question tool when available (see Interaction Method). Otherwise, present numbered options in chat and wait for the user's reply before proceeding.
If a relevant requirements document exists:
1. Read it thoroughly
2. Announce that it will serve as the origin document for planning
3. Carry forward all of the following:
- Problem frame
- Actors (A-IDs), Key Flows (F-IDs), and Acceptance Examples (AE-IDs) when present — preserve these as constraints that implementation units must honor
- Requirements and success criteria
- Scope boundaries (including "Deferred for later" and "Outside this product's identity" subsections when present)
- Key decisions and rationale
- Dependencies or assumptions
- Outstanding questions, preserving whether they are blocking or deferred
4. Use the source document as the primary input to planning and research
5. Reference important carried-forward decisions in the plan with (see origin: <source-path>)
6. Do not silently omit source content — if the origin document discussed it, the plan must address it even if briefly. Before finalizing, scan each section of the origin document to verify nothing was dropped.
If no relevant requirements document exists, planning may proceed from the user's request directly.
If no relevant requirements document exists, or the input needs more structure:
- Assess whether the request is already clear enough for direct technical planning — if so, continue to Phase 0.5
- If the ambiguity is mainly product framing, user behavior, or scope definition, recommend ce-brainstorm as a suggestion — but always offer to continue planning here as well
- If the user wants to continue here (or was already explicit about wanting a plan), run the planning bootstrap below
The planning bootstrap should establish: - Problem frame - Intended behavior - Scope boundaries and obvious non-goals - Success criteria - Blocking questions or assumptions
Keep this bootstrap brief. It exists to preserve direct-entry convenience, not to replace a full brainstorm.
If the bootstrap uncovers major unresolved product questions:
- Recommend ce-brainstorm again
- If the user still wants to continue, require explicit assumptions before proceeding
If the bootstrap reveals that a different workflow would serve the user better:
ce-debug as a route-out option alongside continuing with ce-plan whenever the bug surface is reachable (in cwd OR named repo found at another local path). Stay in ce-plan silently when the named code can't be found anywhere local — paper-planning is the only useful output for unreachable surfaces.When the bug is at another local path (not cwd):
- Announce the target explicitly before any cross-repo investigation: which path will be read AND where plan outputs will land (default: target repo's docs/plans/, not cwd's).
- Default: proceed from the target repo for both investigation and plan-write. The user can interrupt to redirect (switch context, paper-plan, abandon, etc.). No location menu — the announcement makes the cross-repo nature visible, and the user can speak up if they want something unusual.
- After announcing and proceeding, fire the standard ce-debug routing menu (continue with ce-plan vs switch to ce-debug) — same shape as the in-cwd case. Cross-repo location and ce-debug skill routing are orthogonal decisions; do not merge them into a single question.
Reading code at another path is fine in principle — that's just file access. The harm to avoid is silent operation on the wrong repo, especially writing the plan doc somewhere it won't be discovered (a busyblock plan landing in cli-printing-press/docs/plans/ is a discoverability disaster). The announcement requirement makes the target visible; defaulting to the target repo for both investigation and outputs respects the user's stated intent (they named that repo); the orthogonal ce-debug menu keeps the skill-choice question clean.
The accessibility classification is conservative and may under-suggest in monorepos, dependency bugs, or after renames. Users can always invoke /ce-debug manually.
Headless mode: skip the ce-debug suggestion menu entirely; default to continuing with /ce-plan (the user's explicit invocation). There is no synchronous user to resolve a route-out choice, and auto-routing to ce-debug would change the skill mid-flight without authorization.
ce-work as a faster alternative alongside continuing with planning. The user decides.If the origin document contains Resolve Before Planning or similar blocking questions:
- Review each one before proceeding
- Reclassify it into planning-owned work only if it is actually a technical, architectural, or research question
- Keep it as a blocker if it would change product behavior, scope, or success criteria
If true product blockers remain:
- Surface them clearly
- Ask the user, using the platform's blocking question tool when available (see Interaction Method), whether to:
1. Resume ce-brainstorm to resolve them
2. Convert them into explicit assumptions or decisions and continue
- Do not continue planning while true blockers remain unresolved
Classify the work into one of these plan depths:
If depth is unclear, ask one targeted question and then continue.
Surface call-outs to the user — the specific forks in scope or approach where user input materially changes the plan — so scope can be corrected before Phase 1 research is spent. Sub-agent dispatch (repo-research-analyst, learnings-researcher, etc.) is the expensive next step this phase guards against wasted effort on.
Fires only in solo invocation — when Phase 0.2 found no upstream brainstorm doc AND Phase 0.4 stayed in ce-plan (did not route to ce-debug, ce-work, or universal-planning) AND Phase 0.5 cleared (no unresolved blockers) AND not on Phase 0.1 fast paths (resume normal, deepen-intent). Each guard is an explicit conditional. Skip Phase 0.7 entirely when any guard fails — brainstorm-sourced invocations defer to Phase 5.1.5 instead.
Read references/synthesis-summary.md before composing the scoping synthesis. It carries the affirmability test, keep-test criteria, detail test, summary shape budgets, granularity rules, anti-patterns, revision-vs-confirmation discipline, doc-shape routing, soft-cut behavior, self-redirect support, the worked PII compression example, and full headless-mode routing — all required for a well-shaped synthesis.
Required gate output — do not skip; silent proceeding is not allowed. Compose an internal three-bucket scope draft (Stated / Inferred / Out of scope — internal thinking that feeds plan-body routing at Phase 5.2, not the chat output below). Derive call-outs (specific forks where user input materially changes the plan), then emit one of the two literal templates below in chat before continuing to Phase 1.
Synthesis is pre-plan-write. The agent does NOT yet know how plan-write will sequence the work. Do not claim PR count ("one PR"), commit/branch shape, effort or time estimates, Implementation Unit boundaries, or exact file paths in the synthesis. The synthesis surfaces decisions knowable at THIS point — for the solo variant, that's the user's request plus the Phase 0.4 bootstrap dialogue plus the agent's own internal three-bucket draft. Phase 1 research has not happened yet and there is no upstream brainstorm; do not claim grounding from either. Plan-write produces the rest. This rule holds even when the agent has formed plan-write opinions earlier in the session — those stay internal until plan-write.
Summary shape: the summary is a scope claim — what the plan will target, what it will not — at affirm-or-redirect level. NOT an enumeration of Implementation Units. Form is prose, bullets, or mix; tier budgets are ceilings, not targets (Lightweight 1-3 lines; Standard up to 3-5 lines or 2-4 bullets; Deep up to 4-6 lines or 3-6 bullets). 1-2 lines per bullet, conversational not documentary. Less is correct when there isn't more to say. See reference for keep test, detail test, and source-vocabulary discipline.
Do NOT enumerate the touch surface. Sentences like "The touch surface is...", "This plan touches...", "The implementation reaches into..." are plan-pitch leaks. File paths, module names, directory introductions, and per-file change descriptions belong in the plan body (Implementation Units at Phase 5.2), not the synthesis. The synthesis names what the plan targets, not where the code lives.
Pre-emit scans. Before emitting the synthesis, scan the output:
- Bare ID references (AE\d+, R\d+, F\d+, A\d+, U\d+) → replace with plain names.
- File paths (path/like.md, path/like.py, etc.) → cut unless the path IS the topic of an explicit fork in the call-outs.
Tier guard on auto-proceed: the auto-proceed path (announce without waiting for confirmation) fires only when plan depth is Lightweight AND zero call-outs survive. Standard and Deep plans always fire the confirmation gate, even with zero call-outs — substance earns the checkpoint, not interaction history.
Confirmation template (Standard/Deep regardless of call-out count, or any tier with one or more call-outs surviving):
Based on your request and our brief discussion, here's the scope I'm proposing to plan against:
[scope claim — what the plan will target, what it will not; affirm-or-redirect level; NOT an enumeration of Implementation Units]
**Call outs:** (omit this header when zero forks survived the keep test)
- [decision-level fork in 1-2 lines: name the choice and optional one-clause trade-off in parens. NO multi-sentence rationale, NO "my default is X" pitch]
Confirm and I'll proceed to research, drawing on this scope. (You can also redirect to /ce-brainstorm if this is bigger than you initially thought — I'll stop here and load it for you.)
Wait for user confirmation before continuing to Phase 1.
Auto-proceed template (Lightweight with zero call-outs only):
Planning: [1-3 line scope claim]
No open decisions to weigh in on — proceeding to research. Interrupt if I have the scope wrong.
Then continue to Phase 1 without a blocking question.
Headless mode: internal draft is composed but stage 2 (chat-time call-outs) is skipped — no synchronous user to confirm to. Continue to Phase 1 research as normal. At plan-write time (Phase 5.2), Inferred bets from the internal draft route to a ## Assumptions section in the plan instead of Key Technical Decisions. See references/synthesis-summary.md Headless mode for the full routing.
Prepare a concise planning context summary (a paragraph or two) to pass as input to the research agents:
- If an origin document exists, summarize the problem frame, requirements, and key decisions from that document
- Otherwise use the feature description directly
- If STRATEGY.md exists, read it and include the relevant pieces (target problem, approach, active tracks) in the summary so downstream research and planning decisions are anchored to product strategy
Run these agents in parallel:
docs/solutions/STRATEGY.md is present — flag any plan decisions that pull away from the active tracks or the stated approachSlack context (opt-in) — never auto-dispatch. Route by condition:
ce-slack-researcher with the planning context summary in parallel with other Phase 1.1 agents. If the origin document has a Slack context section, pass it verbatim so the researcher focuses on gaps. Include findings in consolidation.Decide whether the plan should carry a lightweight execution posture signal.
Look for signals such as: - The user explicitly asks for TDD, test-first, or characterization-first work - The origin document calls for test-first implementation or exploratory hardening of legacy code - Local research shows the target area is legacy, weakly tested, or historically fragile, suggesting characterization coverage before changing behavior
When the signal is clear, carry it forward silently in the relevant implementation units.
Ask the user only if the posture would materially change sequencing or risk and cannot be responsibly inferred.
Based on the origin document, user signals, and local findings, decide whether external research adds value.
Read between the lines. Pay attention to signals from the conversation so far: - User familiarity — Are they pointing to specific files or patterns? They likely know the codebase well. - User intent — Do they want speed or thoroughness? Exploration or execution? - Topic risk — Security, payments, external APIs warrant more caution regardless of user signals. - Uncertainty level — Is the approach clear or still open-ended?
Leverage ce-repo-research-analyst's technology context:
The ce-repo-research-analyst output includes a structured Technology & Infrastructure summary. Use it to make sharper external research decisions:
Always lean toward external research when: - The topic is high-risk: security, payments, privacy, external APIs, migrations, compliance - The codebase lacks relevant local patterns -- fewer than 3 direct examples of the pattern this plan needs - Local patterns exist for an adjacent domain but not the exact one -- e.g., the codebase has HTTP clients but not webhook receivers, or has background jobs but not event-driven pub/sub. Adjacent patterns suggest the team is comfortable with the technology layer but may not know domain-specific pitfalls. When this signal is present, frame the external research query around the domain gap specifically, not the general technology - The user is exploring unfamiliar territory - The technology scan found the relevant layer absent or thin in the codebase
Skip external research when: - The codebase already shows a strong local pattern -- multiple direct examples (not adjacent-domain), recently touched, following current conventions - The user already knows the intended shape - Additional external context would add little practical value - The technology scan found the relevant layer well-established with existing examples to follow
Announce the decision briefly before continuing. Examples: - "Your codebase has solid patterns for this. Proceeding without external research." - "This involves payment processing, so I'll research current best practices first."
If Step 1.2 indicates external research is useful, run these agents in parallel:
Summarize: - Relevant codebase patterns and file paths - Relevant institutional learnings - Organizational context from Slack conversations, if gathered (prior discussions, decisions, or domain knowledge relevant to the feature) - External references and best practices, if gathered - Related issues, PRs, or prior art - Any constraints that should materially shape the plan
If the current classification is Lightweight and Phase 1 research found that the work touches any of these external contract surfaces, reclassify to Standard:
.github/workflows/, Dockerfile, deployment scripts)This ensures flow analysis (Phase 1.5) runs and the confidence check (Phase 5.3) applies critical-section bonuses. Announce the reclassification briefly: "Reclassifying to Standard — this change touches [environment variables / exported APIs / CI config] with external consumers."
For Standard or Deep plans, or when user flow completeness is still unclear, run:
Use the output to: - Identify missing edge cases, state transitions, or handoff gaps - Tighten requirements trace or verification strategy - Add only the flow details that materially improve the plan
Build a planning question list from: - Deferred questions in the origin document - Gaps discovered in repo or external research - Technical decisions required to produce a useful plan
For each question, decide whether it should be: - Resolved during planning - the answer is knowable from repo context, documentation, or user choice - Deferred to implementation - the answer depends on code changes, runtime behavior, or execution-time discovery
Ask the user only when the answer materially affects architecture, scope, sequencing, or risk and cannot be responsibly inferred. Use the platform's blocking question tool when available (see Interaction Method).
Do not run tests, build the app, or probe runtime behavior in this phase. The goal is a strong plan, not partial execution.

For cross-cutting work, note affected parties in the System-Wide Impact section.
Break the work into logical implementation units. Each unit should represent one meaningful change that an implementer could typically land as an atomic commit.
Good units are: - Focused on one component, behavior, or integration seam - Usually touching a small cluster of related files - Ordered by dependency - Concrete enough for execution without pre-writing code
Avoid: - 2-5 minute micro-steps - Units that span multiple unrelated concerns - Units that are so vague an implementer still has to invent the plan
Each unit carries a stable plan-local U-ID assigned in Phase 3.5 (U1, U2, …). U-IDs survive reordering, splitting, and deletion: new units take the next unused number, gaps are fine, and existing IDs are never renumbered. This lets ce-work reference units unambiguously across plan edits.
Before detailing implementation units, decide whether an overview would help a reviewer validate the intended approach. This section communicates the shape of the solution — how pieces fit together — without dictating implementation.
When to include it:
| Work involves... | Best overview form |
|---|---|
| DSL or API surface design | Pseudo-code grammar or contract sketch |
| Multi-component integration | Mermaid sequence or component diagram |
| Data pipeline or transformation | Data flow sketch |
| State-heavy lifecycle | State diagram |
| Complex branching logic | Flowchart |
| Mode/flag combinations or multi-input behavior | Decision matrix (inputs -> outcomes) |
| Single-component with non-obvious shape | Pseudo-code sketch |
When to skip it: - Well-patterned work where prose and file paths tell the whole story - Straightforward CRUD or convention-following changes - Lightweight plans where the approach is obvious
Choose the medium that fits the work. Do not default to pseudo-code when a diagram communicates better, and vice versa.
Frame every sketch with: "This illustrates the intended approach and is directional guidance for review, not implementation specification. The implementing agent should treat it as context, not code to reproduce."
Keep sketches concise — enough to validate direction, not enough to copy-paste into production.
For greenfield plans that create a new directory structure (new plugin, service, package, or module), include an ## Output Structure section with a file tree showing the expected layout. This gives reviewers the overall shape before diving into per-unit details.
When to include it: - The plan creates 3+ new files in a new directory hierarchy - The directory layout itself is a meaningful design decision
When to skip it: - The plan only modifies existing files - The plan creates 1-2 files in an existing directory — the per-unit file lists are sufficient
The tree is a scope declaration showing the expected output shape. It is not a constraint — the implementer may adjust the structure if implementation reveals a better layout. The per-unit **Files:** sections remain authoritative for what each unit creates or modifies.
Each unit is a level-3 heading carrying a stable U-ID prefix matching the format used for R/A/F/AE in requirements docs: ### U1. [Name]. Number sequentially within the plan starting at U1. Do not render units as bulleted list items or prefix them with - [ ] / - [x] checkbox markers. List-based unit titles fragment in every standard renderer because the per-unit fields (**Goal:**, **Files:**, **Approach:**, etc.) are written flush-left, which terminates CommonMark list continuation and detaches the fields from the unit they describe. Headings render correctly everywhere, are the right semantic match for sections containing multi-block content, and give each unit an anchor link. The plan is a decision artifact; execution progress is derived from git by ce-work rather than stored in the plan body.
Stability rule. Once assigned, a U-ID is never renumbered. Reordering units leaves their IDs in place (e.g., U1, U3, U5 in their new order is correct; renumbering to U1, U2, U3 is not). Splitting a unit keeps the original U-ID on the original concept and assigns the next unused number to the new unit. Deletion leaves a gap; gaps are fine. This rule matters most during deepening (Phase 5.3), which is the most likely accidental-renumber vector.
For each unit, include:
- Goal - what this unit accomplishes
- Requirements - which requirements or success criteria it advances (cite R-IDs, and A/F/AE IDs when origin supplies them)
- Dependencies - what must exist first (cite by U-ID, e.g., "U1, U3")
- Files - repo-relative file paths to create, modify, or test (never absolute paths)
- Approach - key decisions, data flow, component boundaries, or integration notes
- Execution note - optional, only when the unit benefits from a non-default execution posture such as test-first or characterization-first
- Technical design - optional pseudo-code or diagram when the unit's approach is non-obvious and prose alone would leave it ambiguous. Frame explicitly as directional guidance, not implementation specification
- Patterns to follow - existing code or conventions to mirror
- Test scenarios - enumerate the specific test cases the implementer should write, right-sized to the unit's complexity and risk. Consider each category below and include scenarios from every category that applies to this unit. A simple config change may need one scenario; a payment flow may need a dozen. The quality signal is specificity — each scenario should name the input, action, and expected outcome so the implementer doesn't have to invent coverage. For units with no behavioral change (pure config, scaffolding, styling), use Test expectation: none -- [reason] instead of leaving the field blank. AE-link convention: when a test scenario directly enforces an origin Acceptance Example, prefix it with Covers AE<N>. (or Covers F<N> / AE<N>.). This is sparse-by-design — most test scenarios are finer-grained than AEs and do not link. Do not force AE links onto tests that only cover lower-level implementation details.
- Happy path behaviors - core functionality with expected inputs and outputs
- Edge cases (when the unit has meaningful boundaries) - boundary values, empty inputs, nil/null states, concurrent access
- Error and failure paths (when the unit has failure modes) - invalid input, downstream service failures, timeout behavior, permission denials
- Integration scenarios (when the unit crosses layers) - behaviors that mocks alone will not prove, e.g., "creating X triggers callback Y which persists Z". Include these for any unit touching callbacks, middleware, or multi-layer interactions
- Verification - how an implementer should know the unit is complete, expressed as outcomes rather than shell command scripts
Every feature-bearing unit should include the test file path in **Files:**.
Use Execution note sparingly. Good uses include:
- Execution note: Start with a failing integration test for the request/response contract.
- Execution note: Add characterization coverage before modifying this legacy parser.
- Execution note: Implement new domain behavior test-first.
Do not expand units into literal RED/GREEN/REFACTOR substeps.
If something is important but not knowable yet, record it explicitly under deferred implementation notes rather than pretending to resolve it in the plan.
Examples: - Exact method or helper names - Final SQL or query details after touching real code - Runtime behavior that depends on seeing actual test failures - Refactors that may become unnecessary once implementation starts
Distinct from 3.6 (which is about unknowns at plan time): 3.7 is about known but tangential work that the agent notices while planning but that falls outside the user's confirmed scope. When research surfaces an adjacent refactor, a "while we're here" cleanup, or a scope-adjacent nice-to-have ("we could also add rate limiting"), route it to the existing ### Deferred to Follow-Up Work subsection in Scope Boundaries (Phase 4.2 Core Plan Template), not into active Implementation Units.
This reinforces the synthesis discipline established at Phase 0.7 / Phase 5.1.5 — the user's confirmed scope is what the active plan executes; everything else is deferred. Does NOT impose architectural bias on extend-vs-invent decisions within confirmed scope — that judgment stays with the agent (and is surfaced via the Phase 5.1.5 synthesis when material). The user's explicit ask overrides this default — if the user explicitly requested a refactor, it's in-scope, not deferred.
NEVER CODE during this skill. Research, decide, and write the plan — do not start implementation.
Use one planning philosophy across all depths. Change the amount of detail, not the boundary between planning and execution.
Lightweight - Keep the plan compact - Usually 2-4 implementation units - Omit optional sections that add little value
Standard - Use the full core template, omitting optional sections (including High-Level Technical Design) that add no value for this particular work - Usually 3-6 implementation units - Include risks, deferred questions, and system-wide impact when relevant
Deep - Use the full core template plus optional analysis sections where warranted - Usually 4-8 implementation units - Group units into phases when that improves clarity - Include alternatives considered, documentation impacts, and deeper risk treatment when warranted
For sufficiently large, risky, or cross-cutting work, add the sections that genuinely help: - Alternative Approaches Considered - Success Metrics - Dependencies / Prerequisites - Risk Analysis & Mitigation - Phased Delivery - Documentation Plan - Operational / Rollout Notes - Future Considerations only when they materially affect current design
Do not add these as boilerplate. Include them only when they improve execution quality or stakeholder alignment.
Alternatives Considered — what to vary. When this section is included, alternatives must differ on how the work is built: architecture, sequencing, boundaries, integration pattern, rollout strategy. Tiny implementation variants (which hash function, which serialization format) belong in Key Technical Decisions, not Alternatives. Product-shape alternatives (different actors, different core outcome, different positioning) belong in ce-brainstorm, not here — surface them back upstream rather than re-litigating product questions during planning.
Read references/plan-template.md for the core plan template (frontmatter, all standard sections, fill-in placeholders) and the optional Deep extensions template (Alternative Approaches Considered, Success Metrics, Dependencies, Risk Analysis, Phased Delivery, Documentation Plan, Operational Notes). Omit clearly inapplicable optional sections — especially for Lightweight plans.
---) between top-level sections in Standard and Deep plans, mirroring the ce-brainstorm requirements doc convention. Improves scannability of dense plans where many H2 sections sit close together. Omit for Lightweight plans where the whole doc fits on a single screen./Users/name/Code/project/src/file.ts. Use src/file.ts instead. Absolute paths make plans non-portable across machines, worktrees, and teammates. When a plan targets a different repo than the document's home, state the target repo once at the top of the plan (e.g., **Target repo:** my-other-project) and use repo-relative paths throughoutRED/GREEN/REFACTOR instructionsWhen the plan contains 4+ implementation units with non-linear dependencies, 3+ interacting surfaces in System-Wide Impact, 3+ behavioral modes/variants in Summary or Problem Frame, or 3+ interacting decisions in Key Technical Decisions or alternatives in Alternative Approaches, read references/visual-communication.md for diagram and table guidance. This covers plan-structure visuals (dependency graphs, interaction diagrams, comparison tables) — not solution-design diagrams, which are covered in Section 3.4.
Before finalizing, check:
- The plan does not invent product behavior that should have been defined in ce-brainstorm
- If there was no origin document, the bounded planning bootstrap established enough product clarity to plan responsibly
- Every major decision is grounded in the origin document or research
- Each implementation unit is concrete, dependency-ordered, and implementation-ready
- If test-first or characterization-first posture was explicit or strongly implied, the relevant units carry it forward with a lightweight Execution note
- Each feature-bearing unit has test scenarios from every applicable category (happy path, edge cases, error paths, integration) — right-sized to the unit's complexity, not padded or skimped
- Test scenarios name specific inputs, actions, and expected outcomes without becoming test code
- Feature-bearing units with blank or missing test scenarios are flagged as incomplete — feature-bearing units must have actual test scenarios, not just an annotation. The Test expectation: none -- [reason] annotation is only valid for non-feature-bearing units (pure config, scaffolding, styling)
- Deferred items are explicit and not hidden as fake certainty
- If a High-Level Technical Design section is included, it uses the right medium for the work, carries the non-prescriptive framing, and does not contain implementation code (no imports, exact signatures, or framework-specific syntax)
- Per-unit technical design fields, if present, are concise and directional rather than copy-paste-ready
- If the plan creates a new directory structure, would an Output Structure tree help reviewers see the overall shape?
- If Scope Boundaries lists items that are planned work for a separate PR, issue, or repo, are they under ### Deferred to Follow-Up Work rather than mixed with true non-goals?
- U-IDs are unique within the plan and follow the stability rule — no two units share an ID; reordering or splitting did not renumber existing units; gaps from deletions are preserved
- Would a visual aid (dependency graph, interaction diagram, comparison table) help a reader grasp the plan structure faster than scanning prose alone?
If the plan originated from a requirements document, re-read that document and verify:
- The chosen approach still matches the product intent
- Scope boundaries and success criteria are preserved
- Blocking questions were either resolved, explicitly assumed, or sent back to ce-brainstorm
- Every section of the origin document is addressed in the plan — scan each section to confirm nothing was silently dropped
- If origin supplies A/F/AE IDs: every origin R/F/AE that affects implementation is referenced in Requirements, a U-ID unit, test scenarios, verification, scope boundaries, or explicitly deferred. Actors are carried forward when they affect behavior, permissions, UX, orchestration, handoff, or verification. The standard is preservation of product intent, not mandatory ID spam — irrelevant origin IDs may be omitted
- If origin was Deep-product (origin contains an Outside this product's identity subsection): the plan's Scope Boundaries preserves the three-way split — Deferred for later and Outside this product's identity carried verbatim from origin, Deferred to Follow-Up Work reserved for plan-local implementation sequencing
Surface plan-time call-outs to the user before Phase 5.2 commits the plan to disk — the latest cheap moment to catch plan-time scope errors. The brainstorm already validated WHAT to build; this phase surfaces HOW the plan will execute on the forks that matter.
Fires only when the plan was sourced from an upstream brainstorm doc (Phase 0.2 found a *-requirements.md match) AND not on Phase 0.1 fast paths (resume normal, deepen-intent). Skip Phase 5.1.5 in solo invocation — solo plans handled their synthesis in Phase 0.7.
Read references/synthesis-summary.md before composing the scoping synthesis. It carries the affirmability test, keep-test criteria, detail test, summary shape budgets, granularity rules, anti-patterns, revision-vs-confirmation discipline, doc-body reading rules, doc-shape routing, soft-cut behavior, self-redirect support, the worked PII compression example, and full headless-mode routing — all required for a well-shaped synthesis.
Required gate output — do not skip; silent proceeding is not allowed. Compose an internal three-bucket scope draft (Stated / Inferred / Out of scope — internal thinking that feeds plan-body routing at Phase 5.2, not the chat output below). Derive call-outs (specific forks where user input materially changes the plan), then emit one of the two literal templates below in chat before continuing to Phase 5.2.
Synthesis is pre-plan-write. The agent does NOT yet know how plan-write will sequence the work. Do not claim PR count ("one PR"), commit/branch shape, effort or time estimates, Implementation Unit boundaries, or exact file paths in the synthesis. The synthesis surfaces decisions knowable at THIS point (brainstorm + research + agent posture); plan-write produces the rest. This rule holds even when the agent has formed plan-write opinions earlier in the session — those stay internal until plan-write.
Summary shape: two paragraphs.
Do NOT enumerate the touch surface. Sentences like "The touch surface is...", "This plan touches...", "The implementation reaches into...", "Files modified include..." are plan-pitch leaks. File paths, module names, directory introductions, and per-file change descriptions belong in the plan body (Implementation Units at Phase 5.2), not the synthesis. The synthesis names what the plan targets, not where the code lives.
Pre-emit scans. Before emitting the synthesis, scan the output:
- Bare ID references (AE\d+, R\d+, F\d+, A\d+, U\d+) → replace with plain names.
- File paths (path/like.md, path/like.py, etc.) → cut unless the path IS the topic of an explicit fork in the call-outs.
Tier guard on auto-proceed: the auto-proceed path (announce without waiting for confirmation) fires only when plan depth is Lightweight AND zero call-outs survive. Standard and Deep plans always fire the confirmation gate, even with zero call-outs — substance earns the checkpoint, not interaction history.
Confirmation template (Standard/Deep regardless of call-out count, or any tier with one or more call-outs surviving):
The brainstorm scopes [1-2 sentence restatement in the brainstorm's vocabulary as orientation; NOT an enumeration of Implementation Units, constraints, or acceptance examples].
This plan [plan-specific scoping decisions: full-brainstorm coverage vs. narrowed subset; adjacent refactors in or out; test scope at scenario level. NOT PR count, sequencing, IU lists, or file paths].
**Call outs:** (omit this header when zero forks survived the keep test)
- [plan-time fork in 1-2 lines: name the choice and optional one-clause trade-off in parens. NO multi-sentence rationale, NO "my default is X" pitch]
Confirm and I'll write the plan next, drawing on the brainstorm, research, and this synthesis.
Wait for user confirmation before continuing to Phase 5.2.
Auto-proceed template (Lightweight with zero call-outs only):
Planning [brief brainstorm-scope restatement] — [plan-specific shape in one clause].
No open decisions to weigh in on — proceeding to plan-write. Interrupt if I have the scope wrong.
Then continue to Phase 5.2 without a blocking question.
Headless mode: internal draft is composed but stage 2 (chat-time call-outs) is skipped — no synchronous user to confirm to. Proceed to Phase 5.2 plan-write. Inferred bets from the internal draft route to a ## Assumptions section in the plan instead of Key Technical Decisions. See references/synthesis-summary.md Headless mode for the full routing.
REQUIRED: Write the plan file to disk before presenting any options.
Use the Write tool to save the complete plan to:
docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-NNN-<type>-<descriptive-name>-plan.md
Confirm (use absolute path so the reference is clickable in modern terminals):
Plan written to <absolute path to plan>
Pipeline mode: If invoked from an automated workflow such as LFG or any disable-model-invocation context, skip interactive questions. Make the needed choices automatically and proceed to writing the plan.
After writing the plan file, automatically evaluate whether the plan needs strengthening.
Two deepening modes:
Interactive mode exists because on-demand deepening is a different user posture — the user already has a plan they are invested in and wants to be surgical about what changes. This applies whether the plan was generated by this skill, written by hand, or produced by another tool.
ce-doc-review and this confidence check are different:
- Use the ce-doc-review skill when the document needs clarity, simplification, completeness, or scope control
- This confidence check strengthens rationale, sequencing, risk treatment, and system-wide thinking when the plan is structurally sound but still needs stronger grounding
Pipeline mode: This phase always runs in auto mode in pipeline/disable-model-invocation contexts. No user interaction needed.
Determine the plan depth from the document: - Lightweight - small, bounded, low ambiguity, usually 2-4 implementation units - Standard - moderate complexity, some technical decisions, usually 3-6 units - Deep - cross-cutting, high-risk, or strategically important work, usually 4-8 units or phased delivery
Build a risk profile. Treat these as high-risk signals: - Authentication, authorization, or security-sensitive behavior - Payments, billing, or financial flows - Data migrations, backfills, or persistent data changes - External APIs or third-party integrations - Privacy, compliance, or user data handling - Cross-interface parity or multi-surface behavior - Significant rollout, monitoring, or operational concerns
If the plan already appears sufficiently grounded and the thin-grounding override does not apply, report "Confidence check passed — no sections need strengthening", then load references/plan-handoff.md now and execute 5.3.8 → 5.3.9 → 5.4 in sequence. Document review is mandatory — do not skip it because the confidence check passed. The two tools catch different classes of issues.
When deepening is warranted, read references/deepening-workflow.md for confidence scoring checklists, section-to-agent dispatch mapping, execution mode selection, research execution, interactive finding review, and plan synthesis instructions. Execute steps 5.3.3 through 5.3.7 from that file, then return here for 5.3.8.
STOP. Load references/plan-handoff.md now before continuing. It carries the full instructions for 5.3.8 (document review), 5.3.9 (final checks and cleanup), and 5.4 (post-generation handoff, including the Proof HITL flow, post-HITL re-review, and Issue Creation branching). This load is non-optional — without it, the agent renders the post-generation menu, captures the user's selection, and stops without firing the routed action. Document review at 5.3.8 is also mandatory regardless of whether the confidence check already ran. The default mode is headless (mode:headless) — safe_auto fixes apply silently, remaining findings surface contextually above the menu, and a deeper interactive review is opt-in via free-form prompt.
After document review and final checks, print a one-line summary of the headless review state above the menu (e.g., Doc review applied 3 fixes. 2 decisions, 1 proposed fix, 4 FYI observations remain (1 at P1).), then present the menu. The menu has 5 options when actionable findings remain (proposed_fixes_count + decisions_count > 0) and 4 options otherwise — including the FYI-only case, which hides option 2 because ce-doc-review's walkthrough is gated to actionable findings and would have nothing to walk through. See references/plan-handoff.md for the full rule. Render the 5-option menu as a numbered list in chat per the AGENTS.md narrow exception for legitimate option overflow, with the hint "Pick a number or describe what you want." On platforms whose blocking question tool has no option cap (Codex request_user_input, Pi ask_user), use the platform's blocking tool; when that tool is unavailable or errors (e.g., Codex edit modes where request_user_input is not exposed), fall back to the same numbered-list-in-chat rendering with the "Pick a number or describe what you want." hint. The 4-option case routes through the platform's blocking tool normally (AskUserQuestion in Claude Code — call ToolSearch with select:AskUserQuestion first if its schema isn't loaded), with the same numbered-list-in-chat fallback when no blocking tool is available or the call errors. Never silently skip the question.
Question: "Plan ready at <absolute path to plan>. What would you like to do next?" (use absolute path so the reference is clickable in modern terminals)
Options (5 when actionable findings remain; option 2 dropped and remaining options renumbered otherwise — including FYI-only state):
1. Start /ce-work (recommended) - Begin implementing this plan in the current session
2. Run deeper doc review - Walk through the remaining findings interactively (full ce-doc-review walkthrough)
3. Create Issue - Create a tracked issue from this plan in your configured issue tracker (GitHub or Linear)
4. Open in Proof (web app) — review and comment to iterate with the agent - Open the doc in Every's Proof editor, iterate with the agent via comments, or copy a link to share with others
5. Done for now - Pause; the plan file is saved and can be resumed later
Routing. Act on the user's selection — do not just announce it. Elaborate sub-flows (Proof HITL state machine, Issue Creation tracker detection, post-HITL resync) live in references/plan-handoff.md.
/ce-work — Invoke the ce-work skill via the platform's skill-invocation primitive (Skill in Claude Code, Skill in Codex, the equivalent on Gemini/Pi), passing the plan path as the skill argument. Do not merely tell the user to type /ce-work — fire the invocation now so the plan executes in this session.ce-doc-review skill on the plan path without mode:headless so the interactive routing question and walkthrough fire. After it returns, re-render this menu with refreshed counts so the user can pick a next-stage action.gh for GitHub, linear for Linear) and create the issue from the plan file as described under "Issue Creation" in references/plan-handoff.md. After creation, display the issue URL and ask whether to proceed to /ce-work via the platform's blocking question tool.ce-proof skill in HITL-review mode with the plan file as source file, the plan title as doc title, identity ai:compound-engineering / Compound Engineering, and recommended next step /ce-work. Then follow the post-HITL resync logic in references/plan-handoff.md, which handles the four ce-proof return statuses, re-runs ce-doc-review after material edits, and falls back gracefully on upload failure.If the user types free-form prompts targeting the findings (e.g., "review", "walk through", "deep review"), route as if they picked Run deeper doc review — fire the skill rather than looping back to the menu. For other free-text revisions, accept the input and loop back to this menu after applying the revision.
Completion check: This skill is not complete until the post-generation menu above has been presented, the user has selected an action, and the inline routing for that selection has been executed. Presenting the menu and stopping at the user's selection is not completion — fire the routed action.
Pipeline mode exception: In LFG or any disable-model-invocation context, skip the interactive menu and return control to the caller after the plan file is written, confidence check has run, and ce-doc-review has run in headless mode (per references/plan-handoff.md).
Planning skill loaded. Before I spend research on this, let me lock the scope with you — this is a Deep, cross-cutting plan (it touches ingestion, dedup, the search index, the knowledge graph, and the agent-recall layer the team reads), so the forks below materially change what I plan against.
Planning against: getting the June 29 ChatGPT export into the PKM as net-new, dedup-aware content — ChatGPT exports are cumulative (every export re-dumps all conversations), so the plan keys on conversation-id against the last ingest to avoid re-adding the months already in the library — then refreshing the downstream layers (the unified search index, the knowledge graph, and the agent-recall layer Paperclip reads) so the new AINA-tailored material is actually searchable, and surfacing the recurring high-value pieces (workflow prompts + daily briefs) to the team. It will not re-LLM already-processed history, won't treat the raw export as anything but a read-only source, and won't rebuild the pipeline from scratch.
Two forks where your call changes the plan:
{
"questions": [
{
"question": "How far should the 'feed it to the team' part go?",
"header": "Team depth",
"multiSelect": false,
"options": [
{
"label": "Curate + index (Rec)",
"description": "Land it in the agent-recall index AND extract the recurring AINA workflow-prompts + daily-brief digest into first-class curated artifacts (Wiki/Paperclip) that marketing/curriculum/platform pull directly. Matches your emphasis on 'especially the workflow prompts and daily news.'"
},
{
"label": "Index only",
"description": "Just ensure the new content lands in the recall index; the team finds it via PKM search. No curated prompt-library or digest artifacts. Faster, less leverage."
}
]
},
{
"question": "You said 'figure out the content, knowledge graph, and agent memory layer' — how deep?",
"header": "KG + memory",
"multiSelect": false,
"options": [
{
"label": "Assess + refresh (Rec)",
"description": "Rebuild the existing knowledge graph (OKF emitter) + recall index on the new data, AND produce a short assessment of the content / knowledge-graph / agent-memory layers with targeted recommendations. 'Figure out' = diagnose, then refresh."
},
{
"label": "Refresh only",
"description": "Just rebuild what already exists on the new data (index + OKF graph). No assessment or recommendations."
},
{
"label": "Redesign the memory layer",
"description": "Treat this as a redesign of the agent-memory architecture (how Paperclip agents recall PKM). Bigger — a design plan, not an ingest+refresh plan."
}
]
}
]
}Your questions have been answered: "How far should the 'feed it to the team' part go?"="Curate + index (Rec)", "You said 'figure out the content, knowledge graph, and agent memory layer' — how deep?"="Assess + refresh (Rec)". You can now continue with these answers in mind.
Locked: curate + index for the team, assess + refresh for the KG/memory layer. Now researching — inspecting the export, the current PKM source breakdown, and how aliknowledgebank ingests/dedups ChatGPT exports (this directly answers your "how is it ingesting / last ingest / so we don't duplicate").

This is the complete picture I needed. Critical findings for the plan:
BASE = /Users/Ali/Claude/Claude Data Export — that's where classify_and_merge.py globs for ChatGPT Data Export*. The new export is in ~/Downloads — it won't be seen until it's placed in BASE.ChatGPT Data Export - 2026-05-19/, 1,900 records). New export = 2,295 conversations → the id-keyed merge + preservation file is the designed dedup ("guarded refresh").import_chatgpt_export.py runner ("run before classify_and_merge.py") + the full refresh chain (extract_briefs → build_unified_pkm → generate_qmd_markdown → qmd update/embed).THEMES — so the heavily-AINA content of the last 3–5 months isn't tagged for the team to find. That's a concrete plan item.extract_briefs.py, 2,958 runs incl. "AI Prompts & Workflows"); "workflow prompts" = recurring-task brief convos → the curation target.One last grounding check (import-runner input shape, OKF emitter, agent-index build), then I'll write the plan.

# feat: Ingest the June-2026 ChatGPT export into PKM + refresh the content / KG / agent-memory layers
> **Target repo:** `pkm-monorepo` (canonical). Code paths below are repo-relative (`aliknowledgebank/…`, `pkm-agent/…`, `docs/…`). Raw *data* locations are machine-absolute by nature (the corpus lives outside the repo) and are written as absolute paths where they are data, not code.
---
## Problem Frame
Ali exported his full ChatGPT history (`/Users/Ali/Downloads/ChatGPT Data Export June 29 2026/` — **2,295 conversations, 2022-12-13 → 2026-06-28**). The last ChatGPT ingest into the PKM was **2026-05-19** (`ChatGPT Data Export - 2026-05-19/`, **1,900 records** now in the unified index), so roughly **~395 conversations are net-new** — and the last 3–5 months are heavily AINA-related (workflow prompts that recur, AINA-tailored daily briefs, telemetry/Cloudflare/platform content).
Three things must happen, dedup-aware so nothing already in the library is re-added:
1. **Ingest** the new export as net-new content through the existing *guarded ChatGPT refresh* (id-keyed merge + legacy preservation).
2. **Make it usable by the AINA team** (marketing, curriculum, platform) — both by landing it in the agent-recall index AND by curating the recurring workflow-prompts + AINA daily-brief digest as first-class artifacts.
3. **Refresh PKM** end-to-end and **assess** the content layer, the knowledge graph (OKF + the in-flight M3 context graph), and the agent-memory layer, with targeted recommendations.
**How the PKM ingests this today (verified):** `aliknowledgebank/classify_and_merge.py` (v7.6, "guarded ChatGPT refresh") globs the **latest** `ChatGPT Data Export*` directory **under `BASE = /Users/Ali/Claude/Claude Data Export`** (by mtime), parses conversations keyed on `conversation_id`, classifies via the v5 taxonomy + THEMES, and merges into `all_records.json` (the 98 MB source-of-truth). A companion runner `aliknowledgebank/import_chatgpt_export.py` produces manifests/overlap/preservation rows and archives the raw source. Dedup is **by `conversation_id`**; a `legacy_preserved_chatgpt_records.json` file carries forward rows present in a prior corpus but absent from the newest export. The downstream chain is `extract_briefs.py` → `build_unified_pkm.py` → `generate_qmd_markdown.py` → `qmd update && qmd embed`, then the agent index (`unified_pkm.sqlite`) + remote MCP (D1/R2) + VDS snapshot. **The legacy-corpus refresh is manual** (monthly/bi-monthly); the nightly only rebuilds `/kb/` from the existing `all_records.json` and syncs.
---
## Scope Boundaries
**In scope**
- Net-new, dedup-aware ingest of the June-2026 ChatGPT export through the guarded refresh.
- An **AINA theme tag** (the gap — see Key Decisions) so AINA content is discoverable by the team.
- Daily-briefs refresh + curation of a **workflow-prompt library** and an **AINA daily-brief digest** (team-facing, work-scoped).
- Full downstream refresh: `/kb/` dashboard, QMD search, agent index, OKF knowledge graph, remote + VDS sync.
- A founder-readable **assessment** of content / knowledge-graph / agent-memory layers with recommendations.
**Deferred to Follow-Up Work**
- Automating the recurring monthly/bi-monthly ingest (currently manual; README roadmap item).
- Gemini export support (separate source, not in this export).
- Any redesign of the agent-memory architecture (this plan *assesses*; M3 context-graph work is its own track on branch `ali/m3-context-graph`).
- `qmd_reclassify.py` semantic reclassify (~3h) — optional, run only if default-classified rate on the new convos is high.
**Non-goals**
- Re-LLM-ing or re-ingesting already-processed history (dedup by `conversation_id` prevents this).
- Editing raw exports or hand-editing generated artifacts (`all_records.json`, `daily_briefs.json`, `unified_pkm_public.json`, `qmd_knowledge/`).
- Exposing Ali's **personal** content (health, relationships, life-admin) to the team — team-facing curation is work-scoped only (see Risks).

## Requirements Traceability
| Req | From the request | Addressed by |
|---|---|---|
| R1 | Process the export into the PKM library | U1, U3 |
| R2 | Dedup-aware — don't duplicate; check labels + last ingest | U1 (overlap report), U3 (id-keyed merge) |
| R3 | Surface the recurring workflow prompts + AINA daily news | U4 |
| R4 | Feed it to the team (marketing, curriculum, platform) | U2 (AINA theme), U4 (curated artifacts), U6 (agent index) |
| R5 | Refresh PKM end-to-end | U5, U6 |
| R6 | Figure out content + knowledge graph + agent-memory layer | U7 (assess + refresh) |
---
## Key Technical Decisions
1. **Use the guarded runner, not a raw folder drop.** The export must enter via `import_chatgpt_export.py` so we get the overlap report (net-new vs. missing), regenerated preservation rows, and a local archive — not just a copy into `BASE`. The runner is currently **hardcoded to the May-19 batch** (`ZIP_PATH`, `EXPORT_NAME`, `ARCHIVE_DIR`); parametrize it for the June-29 batch rather than forking it. *(see verified: `aliknowledgebank/import_chatgpt_export.py:27`)*
2. **The export is already extracted (a folder), the runner expects a zip.** Decision: re-zip the Downloads folder into the runner's input location (preserves the guarded zip→extract→archive flow + sha), rather than special-casing an extracted dir. Keeps one code path.
3. **Dedup is by `conversation_id`.** Re-running the cumulative export is the *designed* flow; the id-keyed merge + `legacy_preserved_chatgpt_records.json` is the dedup mechanism. No content-hash dedup needed.
4. **Add an `AINA` theme (the discoverability gap).** `THEMES` in `classify_and_merge.py` has Oscalar, VibeCoding, AI Agents… but **no AINA** — so the team can't filter to it. Add `AINA` (+ AI Fluency) keyword theme; it tags AINA content corpus-wide, not just the new convos.
5. **Team-facing curation is work-scoped.** The agent index stays complete (Ali's private, auth-gated store), but the *curated team artifacts* filter to AINA/business/marketing/platform topics and exclude Personal & Misc / Health / Relationships. *(see learning: [[feedback_pkm_privacy_posture_auth_gated]] — private store keeps full bodies; this is about the team-facing slice, not scrubbing the store.)*
6. **Right model/route for any LLM steps:** classification is deterministic keyword/taxonomy (no LLM). If `qmd_reclassify` runs, it's local QMD (no API). No Claude/Codex tokens needed for ingest. *(see learning: [[feedback_pkm_llm_route_to_codex]])*
7. **Back up `all_records.json` before the merge** (98 MB source-of-truth) and honor the gotchas: `safe_js_json()` in any HTML build, `qmd embed` via `nohup … no pipe`, disk pre-check (12 Gi free / 94% — tight).

## High-Level Approach
```text
Downloads/ChatGPT Data Export June 29 2026/ (2,295 convos, extracted)
│ U1: re-zip → guarded import_chatgpt_export.py → BASE + overlap/preservation/archive
▼
BASE/ChatGPT Data Export June 29 2026/ legacy_preserved_chatgpt_records.json (regenerated)
│ U2: add AINA theme │ U3: classify_and_merge.py (id-dedup + preserve)
▼ ▼
all_records.json (ChatGPT 1,900 → ~2,200; AINA-tagged)
│ U4: extract_briefs.py (daily news) + curate workflow-prompt library + AINA digest (work-scoped)
▼
│ U5: build_unified_pkm.py (/kb/) + generate_qmd_markdown.py + qmd update/embed
▼
│ U6: agent index (unified_pkm.sqlite) + OKF knowledge graph + M3 context graph + remote/VDS/hub sync
▼
│ U7: assessment (content / KG / agent-memory) + recommendations
```
*This illustrates the intended flow and is directional guidance for review, not implementation specification.*

## Implementation Units
### U1. Parametrize the guarded import runner + stage the June-2026 export into BASE
- **Goal:** Bring the new export into `BASE` through the guarded runner, producing an overlap report (net-new vs. legacy-missing), regenerated preservation rows, and a local archive.
- **Requirements:** R1, R2
- **Dependencies:** none
- **Files:**
- `aliknowledgebank/import_chatgpt_export.py` (parametrize `ZIP_PATH` / `EXPORT_NAME` / `ARCHIVE_DIR` for the June-29 batch — accept a `--zip`/`--export-name` arg or a dated config block; do not fork)
- Data (machine-absolute): re-zip `/Users/Ali/Downloads/ChatGPT Data Export June 29 2026/` → the runner's input zip → extract to `/Users/Ali/Claude/Claude Data Export/ChatGPT Data Export June 29 2026/`; archive under `archived_raw_exports/chatgpt/2026-06-29/`
- **Approach:** Add a small dated-batch config (date, zip path, export name, archive dir) the runner selects, defaulting to the latest. Run it for 2026-06-29: zip-inventory → extract → archive (sha-linked) → write manifest + **overlap report** (1,900 prior ids vs 2,295 new ids → net-new ~395 + preserved-missing) → regenerate `legacy_preserved_chatgpt_records.json`.
- **Patterns to follow:** the existing May-19 run shape in `import_chatgpt_export.py` (zip_inventory → extract_source → archive_zip → manifests).
- **Test scenarios:**
- Overlap report: net-new count ≈ 395 and preserved-missing count are both reported and plausible (Covers R2).
- Idempotent: re-running with the same zip reports `already_extracted` / `already_archived`, no duplication.
- `conversation_id` is the dedup key in the overlap computation (not title/content).
- Empty/`null`-title conversations are counted but don't crash the manifest.
- Archive manifest written with sha256 + size; raw source folder marked do-not-edit.
- **Verification:** `BASE/ChatGPT Data Export June 29 2026/` exists with `conversations-*.json`; overlap report + regenerated preservation file present; archive recorded.
### U2. Add an `AINA` theme (+ AI Fluency) to the taxonomy
- **Goal:** Make AINA content filterable by the team — close the missing-theme gap before the merge runs.
- **Requirements:** R4
- **Dependencies:** none (code edit; lands before U3's run)
- **Files:** `aliknowledgebank/classify_and_merge.py` (`THEMES` dict; optionally `CHATGPT_BRIEF_TITLES` in `extract_briefs.py` for AINA brief runs)
- **Approach:** Add `"AINA": ["ainative", "ai native academy", "ai-native academy", "aina academy", "ai fluency", "aifluency", "ainativeacademy"]` and consider a narrower `"AI Fluency"` theme. Keep keywords specific to avoid false-positive sweeps (e.g., bare "aina" is risky — require "aina academy"/"ainative"). Themes apply corpus-wide, tagging historical AINA convos too.
- **Patterns to follow:** existing `THEMES` entries (Oscalar, VibeCoding) — keyword lists, title+body matching.
- **Test scenarios:**
- AINA theme tag count is material (the last 3–5 months are AINA-heavy) and > 0 (Covers R4).
- Keywords do **not** false-positive onto unrelated convos (spot-check a sample of tagged rows).
- Existing theme counts (Oscalar, AI Agents, …) are unchanged by the addition.
- **Verification:** post-merge, `tags` contains "AINA" on a substantial, correct set of records.
### U3. Rebuild the merged corpus with the new export (`classify_and_merge.py`)
- **Goal:** Regenerate `all_records.json` incorporating the net-new convos, dedup by id, AINA-tagged, legacy preserved.
- **Requirements:** R1, R2, R4
- **Dependencies:** U1, U2
- **Files:** run `aliknowledgebank/classify_and_merge.py`; output `aliknowledgebank/all_records.json` (back it up first: `all_records.json.bak-2026-06-30`)
- **Approach:** Runner auto-globs the now-latest June-29 export under `BASE`, parses 2,295 convos, classifies + themes (incl. AINA), merges into `all_records.json`, dedups by `conversation_id`, folds in preserved legacy rows. No script edit beyond U2.
- **Patterns to follow:** the documented Update Workflow (`aliknowledgebank/CLAUDE.md` §Update Workflow).
- **Test scenarios:**
- ChatGPT source count rises from 1,900 toward ~2,200 (net-new added, no duplicates) (Covers R1, R2).
- Zero duplicate `conversation_id`s in the ChatGPT subset.
- Legacy-preserved rows present and flagged `source_export_status`.
- Non-ChatGPT sources (Claude, Grok, Recall, X) counts unchanged.
- `all_records.json` is valid JSON, size within sane bounds (~100 MB), backup exists.
- **Verification:** `source_counts` (via pkm-agent) shows ChatGPT increased by the net-new delta after the index rebuild (U6); spot-check several new June convos present with AINA tags.
### U4. Refresh daily briefs + curate the workflow-prompt library and AINA daily-brief digest (team-facing, work-scoped)
- **Goal:** (a) refresh the "daily news" (`daily_briefs.json`); (b) curate the recurring **workflow prompts** + an **AINA daily-brief digest** as first-class artifacts the team consumes — filtered to work topics, excluding personal content.
- **Requirements:** R3, R4
- **Dependencies:** U3
- **Files:**
- run `aliknowledgebank/extract_briefs.py` → `aliknowledgebank/daily_briefs.json`
- new: `aliknowledgebank/curate_team_library.py` (reads `all_records.json` + `daily_briefs.json`, filters to work topics + AINA theme, emits curated markdown)
- outputs: `aliknowledgebank/curated/aina-workflow-prompts.md`, `aliknowledgebank/curated/aina-daily-brief-digest.md` (+ `.html` companions); optionally mirrored to `Wiki/` for agent recall
- **Approach:** `extract_briefs` re-runs (picks up new recurring-task brief runs across "AI Prompts & Workflows", "AI Workflows", "Platform Watchlist", etc.). Then `curate_team_library.py` selects: recurring workflow-prompt conversations + AINA-tagged briefs, **excluding** Personal & Misc / Health / Relationships topics, and groups them for the three teams (marketing ← positioning/AI-Fluency/daily-news; curriculum ← workflow/prompting/AI-Fluency; platform ← telemetry/Cloudflare/infra). Apply `safe_js_json()` in any HTML.
- **Patterns to follow:** `extract_briefs.py` brief extraction; `aliknowledgebank/CLAUDE.md` design-system + `safe_js_json` rule; companion-html-spec for the `.html`.
- **Test scenarios:**
- `daily_briefs.json` run count rises vs. the May-19 baseline (Covers R3).
- The workflow-prompt library contains the known recurring prompts (spot-check the repeating ones Ali named).
- The curated artifacts contain **zero** Personal & Misc / Health / Relationships records (work-scoped filter holds) (Covers R4 + privacy decision).
- Each team slice (marketing/curriculum/platform) is non-empty and topically correct.
- HTML companions render without script-injection breakage (`safe_js_json`).
- **Verification:** curated artifacts exist, are work-scoped, team-grouped, and linked from the team-facing surface.
### U5. Rebuild the `/kb/` dashboard + QMD search corpus
- **Goal:** Propagate the refreshed corpus into the browse/search surfaces.
- **Requirements:** R5
- **Dependencies:** U3 (U4 if briefs feed the dashboard)
- **Files:** run `aliknowledgebank/build_unified_pkm.py` (→ `knowledge_bank_unified.html` + `unified_pkm_public.json`), `aliknowledgebank/generate_qmd_markdown.py` (incremental `qmd_knowledge/`), then `qmd update && qmd embed`
- **Approach:** Per the Update Workflow. `generate_qmd_markdown` only writes new/changed convos. `qmd embed` is long-running — run via `nohup … > /tmp/qmd_embed.log 2>&1 &`, **never piped through `head`** (SIGPIPE gotcha).
- **Patterns to follow:** `aliknowledgebank/CLAUDE.md` §Update Workflow + §Gotchas (1, 6).
- **Test scenarios:**
- `/kb/` entry/source counts reflect the new ChatGPT total; dashboard renders (no empty-script break) (Covers R5).
- New June AINA convos are returned by a `qmd query` after embed.
- `generate_qmd_markdown` writes only new/changed files (incremental, not full rewrite).
- `qmd embed` completes (log shows success), index status current.
- **Verification:** dashboard opens and shows updated counts; qmd query surfaces a known new convo.
### U6. Refresh the agent-memory index + knowledge graph + sync remote/VDS/hub
- **Goal:** Rebuild the agent-facing unified index (`unified_pkm.sqlite`) so Paperclip/Finch recall surfaces the new AINA content + curated artifacts; refresh the OKF knowledge graph + M3 context graph; sync remote MCP (D1/R2) + VDS snapshot + hub.
- **Requirements:** R4, R5, R6
- **Dependencies:** U3, U4, U5
- **Files:** the pkm-agent index builder (locate at execution — entrypoint that produces `pkm-agent/aliknowledgebank/unified_pkm.sqlite`), the OKF emitter (→ `/Users/Ali/Claude/Claude Data Export/okf-bundle`), `pkm-agent/scripts/build_d1_delta.py` + `pkm-agent/scripts/sync_remote_bundle.sh`, `transcripts/tools/vds_pkm_snapshot_sync.py`
- **Approach:** Rebuild the unified index from the refreshed `all_records.json` + Wiki + artifacts; re-run the OKF emitter → `okf-bundle`; refresh the M3 context graph (coordinate with branch `ali/m3-context-graph` — do not clobber in-flight work); sync remote D1/R2 (honor the recency-days hash-strip fix — [[reference_pkm_remote_d1_sync_repair]]) and the VDS consumer snapshot; redeploy hub if `/kb/` data changed.
- **Patterns to follow:** nightly stages in `transcripts/tools/transcripts-daily.sh` (build_unified_pkm → sync_remote_bundle); [[reference_pkm_pipeline_run_gotchas]]; D1 sync repair learning.
- **Test scenarios:**
- `source_counts` ChatGPT rises 1,900 → ~2,200 in `unified_pkm.sqlite` (Covers R5).
- `search_records("AINA workflow prompt", source="ChatGPT")` surfaces new convos; curated artifacts discoverable by agent recall (Covers R4).
- `brain_health` reports OK; remote D1 row count rises without "delta too_large"; VDS snapshot timestamp fresh.
- OKF `okf-bundle` regenerated (concept/link counts updated); M3 context graph intact (no branch clobber).
- **Verification:** pkm-agent `search_records` + `source_counts` + `brain_health` reflect the new corpus from both local and (synced) remote; a team agent recall query returns AINA content.
### U7. Assessment deliverable — content / knowledge-graph / agent-memory layers
- **Goal:** A short founder-readable assessment (+ HTML companion) of the three layers post-refresh, with targeted recommendations (not a redesign).
- **Requirements:** R6
- **Dependencies:** U6
- **Files:** `docs/pkm-deepdive/2026-06-30-pkm-content-kg-memory-assessment.md` (+ `.html`)
- **Approach:** Synthesize: **content** (source/theme coverage, AINA-tagging result, default-classified rate, gaps), **knowledge graph** (OKF concept/link counts + freshness, M3 context-graph state and how it serves agent recall), **agent-memory** (how Paperclip agents recall PKM today — local pkm-agent vs. remote MCP vs. the curated artifacts; X-bookmarks-excluded-by-default; ranking; gaps). Recommend next steps: recurring-ingest automation, AINA sub-tagging, the team-facing curated surface as a standing artifact, and whether M3 should back agent recall.
- **Patterns to follow:** companion-html-spec; prior `docs/pkm-deepdive/` deliverables.
- **Test scenarios:** Test expectation: none — documentation deliverable.
- **Verification:** assessment names concrete numbers (counts, freshness) and 3–5 actionable recommendations; HTML companion renders.
---
## System-Wide Impact
- **Corpus source-of-truth** (`all_records.json`) is regenerated — back up first; downstream `/kb/`, QMD, agent index all derive from it.
- **Agent recall** (Paperclip/Finch + remote MCP connectors) changes — the team will start seeing the new AINA content; ensure team-facing curation stays work-scoped.
- **Remote D1/R2 + VDS snapshot + hub** all refresh — watch the D1 delta-size guard (recency-days hash-strip fix must hold).
- **The nightly** will pick up the new `all_records.json` via `build_unified_pkm.py` automatically after this manual run.
---
## Risks & Mitigations
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Corrupting the 98 MB source-of-truth | Back up `all_records.json` before U3; keep `.bak-2026-06-30` |
| Personal content leaking to the team | U4 curation is work-scoped (excludes Personal/Health/Relationships); decision #5 |
| Import runner hardcoded to May-19 → wrong archive/preservation | U1 parametrizes the dated batch; verify overlap report before merging |
| Disk pressure (12 Gi free / 94%) | Pre-check `df -h`; `all_records` + sqlite + qmd vectors are ~hundreds of MB; free space first if needed |
| `qmd embed` SIGPIPE / long run | `nohup … no pipe`, monitor log (gotcha §6) |
| HTML dashboard silent break | `safe_js_json()` on all embedded JSON (gotcha §1, non-negotiable) |
| Clobbering in-flight M3 context-graph work | Coordinate with branch `ali/m3-context-graph`; don't reset its state in U6 |
| D1 "delta too_large" on remote sync | Recency-days hash-strip fix must be in place ([[reference_pkm_remote_d1_sync_repair]]) |
---
## Deferred Implementation Notes
- Exact pkm-agent unified-index build entrypoint + OKF emitter run command — locate at execution (the builder lives under `pkm-agent/`; OKF output is `BASE/okf-bundle`).
- Whether `qmd_reclassify.py` is worth the ~3h run — decide from the new convos' default-classified rate after U3.
- Exact AINA keyword set — tune against false-positive spot-checks in U2.
- Whether curated artifacts live in `aliknowledgebank/curated/`, `Wiki/`, or are pushed as Paperclip agent context — decide in U4 from how the team's recall actually reads.
---
## Success Criteria
- ChatGPT records in the unified index rise from 1,900 to ~2,200 with **zero duplicate `conversation_id`s**.
- AINA content is tagged and discoverable by the team via both agent recall and curated artifacts — with **no personal content** in the team-facing slice.
- `/kb/`, QMD, agent index, OKF graph, remote, and VDS all reflect the new corpus; `brain_health` OK.
- A founder-readable assessment of content / KG / agent-memory with concrete numbers + 3–5 recommendations.

Plan written to /Users/Ali/PKM-monorepo/docs/plans/2026-06-30-001-feat-chatgpt-export-pkm-ingest-plan.md.
Confidence check: the plan is well-grounded — I verified the actual ingest mechanism, the last-ingest date, the dedup key, the gotchas, and the in-flight M3 layer directly from the code, and every unit has concrete files + test scenarios. It's a Deep plan (touches the source-of-truth corpus, privacy, and remote/VDS sync), but the risk areas are each explicitly mitigated. No deepening pass needed.
The shape of it (7 units):
1. Parametrize the guarded import runner (it's hardcoded to May-19) → stage the export into BASE with an overlap report (net-new ~395 + legacy-preserved).
2. Add an AINA theme — the discoverability gap; today nothing tags AINA content for the team.
3. Re-merge the corpus (classify_and_merge.py) — id-keyed dedup, 1,900 → ~2,200 ChatGPT records.
4. Refresh daily briefs + curate a workflow-prompt library and AINA daily-brief digest — work-scoped (excludes your personal/health convos).
5. Rebuild /kb/ + QMD search.
6. Refresh the agent index + OKF/M3 knowledge graph + sync remote/VDS so Paperclip recall picks it all up.
7. Assessment of content / knowledge-graph / agent-memory with recommendations (the "figure out" part).
The two things I'd flag before any run: disk is at 94% (12 Gi free) — a pre-check, since the corpus + sqlite + qmd vectors rebuild; and personal content stays out of the team-facing slice (decision #5).

Execute work efficiently while maintaining quality and finishing features.
This command takes a work document (plan or specification) or a bare prompt describing the work, and executes it systematically. The focus is on shipping complete features by understanding requirements quickly, following existing patterns, and maintaining quality throughout.
Determine how to proceed based on what was provided in <input_document>.
Plan document (input is a file path to an existing plan or specification) → skip to Phase 1.
Bare prompt (input is a description of work, not a file path):
Scan the work area
Identify files likely to change based on the prompt
Note local patterns and conventions in the affected areas
Assess complexity and route
| Complexity | Signals | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Trivial | 1-2 files, no behavioral change (typo, config, rename) | Proceed to Phase 1 step 2 (environment setup), then implement directly — no task list, no execution loop. Apply Test Discovery if the change touches behavior-bearing code |
| Small / Medium | Clear scope, under ~10 files | Build a task list from discovery. Proceed to Phase 1 step 2 |
| Large | Cross-cutting, architectural decisions, 10+ files, touches auth/payments/migrations | Inform the user this would benefit from /ce-brainstorm or /ce-plan to surface edge cases and scope boundaries. Honor their choice. If proceeding, build a task list and continue to Phase 1 step 2 |
Read Plan and Clarify (skip if arriving from Phase 0 with a bare prompt)
Read the work document completely
Implementation Units, Work Breakdown, Requirements (or legacy Requirements Trace), Files, Test Scenarios, or Verification, use those as the primary source material for executionExecution note on each implementation unit — these carry the plan's execution posture signal for that unit (for example, test-first or characterization-first). Note them when creating tasks.Deferred to Implementation or Implementation-Time Unknowns section — these are questions the planner intentionally left for you to resolve during execution. Note them before starting so they inform your approach rather than surprising you mid-taskScope Boundaries section — these are explicit non-goals. Refer back to them if implementation starts pulling you toward adjacent workExecution noteDo not edit the plan body during execution. The plan is a decision artifact; progress lives in git commits and the task tracker. The only plan mutation during ce-work is the final status: active → completed flip at shipping (see references/shipping-workflow.md Phase 4 Step 2). Legacy plans may contain - [ ] / - [x] marks on unit headings — ignore them as state; per-unit completion is determined during execution by reading the current file state.
Setup Environment
First, check the current branch:
```bash current_branch=$(git branch --show-current) default_branch=$(git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's@^refs/remotes/origin/@@')
# Fallback if remote HEAD isn't set if [ -z "$default_branch" ]; then default_branch=$(git rev-parse --verify origin/main >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "main" || echo "master") fi ```
If already on a feature branch (not the default branch):
First, check whether the branch name is meaningful — a name like feat/crowd-sniff or fix/email-validation tells future readers what the work is about. Auto-generated worktree names (e.g., worktree-jolly-beaming-raven) or other opaque names do not.
If the branch name is meaningless or auto-generated, suggest renaming it before continuing:
bash
git branch -m <meaningful-name>
Derive the new name from the plan title or work description (e.g., feat/crowd-sniff). Present the rename as a recommended option alongside continuing as-is.
Then ask: "Continue working on [current_branch], or create a new branch?"
- If continuing (with or without rename), proceed to step 3
- If creating new, follow Option A or B below
If on the default branch, choose how to proceed:
Option A: Create a new branch
bash
git pull origin [default_branch]
git checkout -b feature-branch-name
Use a meaningful name based on the work (e.g., feat/user-authentication, fix/email-validation).
Option B: Use a worktree (recommended for parallel development)
bash
skill: ce-worktree
# The skill will create a new branch from the default branch in an isolated worktree
Option C: Continue on the default branch - Requires explicit user confirmation - Only proceed after user explicitly says "yes, commit to [default_branch]" - Never commit directly to the default branch without explicit permission
Recommendation: Use worktree if: - You want to work on multiple features simultaneously - You want to keep the default branch clean while experimenting - You plan to switch between branches frequently

Choose Execution Strategy
After creating the task list, decide how to execute based on the plan's size and dependency structure:
| Strategy | When to use |
|---|---|
| Inline | 1-2 small tasks, or tasks needing user interaction mid-flight. Default for bare-prompt work — bare prompts rarely produce enough structured context to justify subagent dispatch |
| Serial subagents | 3+ tasks with dependencies between them. Each subagent gets a fresh context window focused on one unit — prevents context degradation across many tasks. Requires plan-unit metadata (Goal, Files, Approach, Test scenarios) |
| Parallel subagents | 3+ tasks that pass the Parallel Safety Check (below). Dispatch independent units simultaneously, run dependent units after their prerequisites complete. Requires plan-unit metadata |
Parallel Safety Check — required before choosing parallel dispatch:
Files: section (Create, Modify, and Test paths)config/routes.rb — using serial dispatch"). Serial subagents still provide context-window isolation without shared-directory write races.Even with no file overlap, parallel subagents sharing the orchestrator's working directory face git index contention (concurrent staging/committing corrupts the index) and test interference (concurrent test runs pick up each other's in-progress changes). Worktree isolation eliminates both; the shared-directory fallback constraints below mitigate them.
Subagent isolation — give each parallel subagent its own working tree:
- Claude Code (Agent tool): pass isolation: "worktree" and run_in_background: true. The harness creates a per-subagent worktree under .claude/worktrees/agent-<id> on its own branch. Verify .claude/worktrees/ is gitignored before relying on this.
- Other platforms without built-in worktree isolation (e.g., Codex spawn_agent, Pi subagent): subagents share the orchestrator's directory.
Subagent dispatch uses your available subagent or task spawning mechanism. For each unit, give the subagent: - The full plan file path (for overall context) - The specific unit's Goal, Files, Approach, Execution note, Patterns, Test scenarios, and Verification - Any resolved deferred questions relevant to that unit - Instruction to check whether the unit's test scenarios cover all applicable categories (happy paths, edge cases, error paths, integration) and supplement gaps before writing tests
Shared-directory fallback constraints — apply only when worktree isolation is unavailable:
- Instruct each subagent: "Do not stage files (git add), create commits, or run the project test suite. The orchestrator handles testing, staging, and committing after all parallel units complete."
- These constraints prevent git index contention and test interference between concurrent subagents.
- With worktree isolation active, omit these constraints — subagents may stage, commit, and run their unit's tests within their own worktree branch.
Permission mode: Omit the mode parameter when dispatching subagents so the user's configured permission settings apply. Do not pass mode: "auto" — it overrides user-level settings like bypassPermissions.
After each subagent completes (serial mode):
1. Review the subagent's diff — verify changes match the unit's scope and Files: list
2. Run the relevant test suite to confirm the tree is healthy
3. If tests fail, diagnose and fix before proceeding — do not dispatch dependent units on a broken tree
4. Update the task list (do not edit the plan body — progress is carried by the commit)
5. Dispatch the next unit
After all parallel subagents in a batch complete (worktree-isolated mode):
1. Wait for every subagent in the current parallel batch to finish.
2. For each completed subagent, in dependency order: review the worktree's diff against the orchestrator's branch. If the subagent did not commit its own work, stage and commit it inside that worktree.
3. Merge each subagent's branch into the orchestrator's branch sequentially in dependency order. If a merge conflict surfaces, abort the merge (git merge --abort) and re-dispatch the conflicting unit serially against the now-merged tree — hand-resolving silently picks a side and discards one unit's intent. (Predicted overlap from the Parallel Safety Check surfaces here as a conflict, not as silent data loss in shared-directory mode.)
4. After each merge, run the relevant test suite. If tests fail, diagnose and fix before merging the next branch.
5. Update the task list (progress is carried by the merge commits).
6. After merging, remove each subagent's worktree and delete its branch. Use the absolute path and branch name returned in the subagent's result.
- Unlock the worktree first — the harness locks per-subagent worktrees: git worktree unlock <absolute-path>
- Remove the worktree: git worktree remove <absolute-path>
- Delete the branch: git branch -d <branch-name> (the branch outlives the worktree by default and accumulates as orphans if not cleaned up; -d lowercase refuses to delete unmerged branches, which is the safety we want — if it fails, investigate before forcing)
7. Dispatch the next batch of independent units, or the next dependent unit.
After all parallel subagents in a batch complete (shared-directory fallback):
1. Wait for every subagent in the current parallel batch to finish before acting on any of their results
2. Cross-check for discovered file collisions: compare the actual files modified by all subagents in the batch (not just their declared Files: lists). Subagents may create or modify files not anticipated during planning — this is expected, since plans describe what not how. A collision only matters when 2+ subagents in the same batch modified the same file. In a shared working directory, only the last writer's version survives — the other unit's changes to that file are lost. If a collision is detected: commit all non-colliding files from all units first, then re-run the affected units serially for the shared file so each builds on the other's committed work
3. For each completed unit, in dependency order: review the diff, run the relevant test suite, stage only that unit's files, and commit with a conventional message derived from the unit's Goal
4. If tests fail after committing a unit's changes, diagnose and fix before committing the next unit
5. Update the task list (do not edit the plan body — progress is carried by the commits just made)
6. Dispatch the next batch of independent units, or the next dependent unit
For each task in priority order:
while (tasks remain):
- Mark task as in-progress
- Read any referenced files from the plan or discovered during Phase 0
- **If the unit's work is already present and matches the plan's intent** (files exist with the expected capability, or the unit's `Verification` criteria are already satisfied by the current code), the work has likely shipped on a prior branch or session. Verify it matches, mark the task complete, and move on. Do not silently reimplement.
- Look for similar patterns in codebase
- Find existing test files for implementation files being changed (Test Discovery — see below)
- Implement following existing conventions
- Add, update, or remove tests to match implementation changes (see Test Discovery below)
- Run System-Wide Test Check (see below)
- Run tests after changes
- Assess testing coverage: did this task change behavior? If yes, were tests written or updated? If no tests were added, is the justification deliberate (e.g., pure config, no behavioral change)?
- Mark task as completed
- Evaluate for incremental commit (see below)
When a unit carries an Execution note, honor it. For test-first units, write the failing test before implementation for that unit. For characterization-first units, capture existing behavior before changing it. For units without an Execution note, proceed pragmatically.
Guardrails for execution posture: - Do not write the test and implementation in the same step when working test-first - Do not skip verifying that a new test fails before implementing the fix or feature - Do not over-implement beyond the current behavior slice when working test-first - Skip test-first discipline for trivial renames, pure configuration, and pure styling work
Test Discovery — Before implementing changes to a file, find its existing test files (search for test/spec files that import, reference, or share naming patterns with the implementation file). When a plan specifies test scenarios or test files, start there, then check for additional test coverage the plan may not have enumerated. Changes to implementation files should be accompanied by corresponding test updates — new tests for new behavior, modified tests for changed behavior, removed or updated tests for deleted behavior.
Test Scenario Completeness — Before writing tests for a feature-bearing unit, check whether the plan's Test scenarios cover all categories that apply to this unit. If a category is missing or scenarios are vague (e.g., "validates correctly" without naming inputs and expected outcomes), supplement from the unit's own context before writing tests:
| Category | When it applies | How to derive if missing |
|---|---|---|
| Happy path | Always for feature-bearing units | Read the unit's Goal and Approach for core input/output pairs |
| Edge cases | When the unit has meaningful boundaries (inputs, state, concurrency) | Identify boundary values, empty/nil inputs, and concurrent access patterns |
| Error/failure paths | When the unit has failure modes (validation, external calls, permissions) | Enumerate invalid inputs the unit should reject, permission/auth denials it should enforce, and downstream failures it should handle |
| Integration | When the unit crosses layers (callbacks, middleware, multi-service) | Identify the cross-layer chain and write a scenario that exercises it without mocks |
System-Wide Test Check — Before marking a task done, pause and ask:
| Question | What to do |
|---|---|
| What fires when this runs? Callbacks, middleware, observers, event handlers — trace two levels out from your change. | Read the actual code (not docs) for callbacks on models you touch, middleware in the request chain, after_* hooks. |
| Do my tests exercise the real chain? If every dependency is mocked, the test proves your logic works in isolation — it says nothing about the interaction. | Write at least one integration test that uses real objects through the full callback/middleware chain. No mocks for the layers that interact. |
| Can failure leave orphaned state? If your code persists state (DB row, cache, file) before calling an external service, what happens when the service fails? Does retry create duplicates? | Trace the failure path with real objects. If state is created before the risky call, test that failure cleans up or that retry is idempotent. |
| What other interfaces expose this? Mixins, DSLs, alternative entry points (Agent vs Chat vs ChatMethods). | Grep for the method/behavior in related classes. If parity is needed, add it now — not as a follow-up. |
| Do error strategies align across layers? Retry middleware + application fallback + framework error handling — do they conflict or create double execution? | List the specific error classes at each layer. Verify your rescue list matches what the lower layer actually raises. |
When to skip: Leaf-node changes with no callbacks, no state persistence, no parallel interfaces. If the change is purely additive (new helper method, new view partial), the check takes 10 seconds and the answer is "nothing fires, skip."
When this matters most: Any change that touches models with callbacks, error handling with fallback/retry, or functionality exposed through multiple interfaces.
After completing each task, evaluate whether to create an incremental commit:
| Commit when... | Don't commit when... |
|---|---|
| Logical unit complete (model, service, component) | Small part of a larger unit |
| Tests pass + meaningful progress | Tests failing |
| About to switch contexts (backend → frontend) | Purely scaffolding with no behavior |
| About to attempt risky/uncertain changes | Would need a "WIP" commit message |
Heuristic: "Can I write a commit message that describes a complete, valuable change? If yes, commit. If the message would be 'WIP' or 'partial X', wait."
If the plan has Implementation Units, use them as a starting guide for commit boundaries — but adapt based on what you find during implementation. A unit might need multiple commits if it's larger than expected, or small related units might land together. Use each unit's Goal to inform the commit message.
Commit workflow: ```bash # 1. Verify tests pass (use project's test command) # Examples: bin/rails test, npm test, pytest, go test, etc.
# 2. Stage only files related to this logical unit (not git add .)
git add
# 3. Commit with conventional message git commit -m "feat(scope): description of this unit" ```
Handling merge conflicts: If conflicts arise during rebasing or merging, resolve them immediately. Incremental commits make conflict resolution easier since each commit is small and focused.
Note: Incremental commits use clean conventional messages without attribution footers. The final Phase 4 commit/PR includes the full attribution.
Parallel subagent mode: Commit ownership is split by isolation mode (see Phase 1 Step 4): - Worktree-isolated: subagents may stage and commit inside their own worktree branch; the orchestrator merges those branches in dependency order after the batch. - Shared-directory fallback: subagents do not commit; the orchestrator stages and commits each unit after the entire parallel batch completes.
Follow Existing Patterns
The plan should reference similar code - read those files first
When in doubt, grep for similar implementations
Test Continuously
Run relevant tests after each significant change
Unit tests with mocks prove logic in isolation. Integration tests with real objects prove the layers work together. If your change touches callbacks, middleware, or error handling — you need both.
Simplify as You Go
After completing a cluster of related implementation units (or every 2-3 units), review recently changed files for simplification opportunities — consolidate duplicated patterns, extract shared helpers, and improve code reuse and efficiency. This is especially valuable when using subagents, since each agent works with isolated context and can't see patterns emerging across units.
Don't simplify after every single unit — early patterns may look duplicated but diverge intentionally in later units. Wait for a natural phase boundary or when you notice accumulated complexity.
If a /simplify skill or equivalent is available, use it. Otherwise, review the changed files yourself for reuse and consolidation opportunities.
For UI work with Figma designs:
Repeat until implementation matches design
Track Progress
When all Phase 2 tasks are complete and execution transitions to quality check, you must read references/shipping-workflow.md for the full shipping workflow.Do not skip this.

375 # ChatGPT Topic Delta Report - 2026-05-19
376
377 This draft report covers only conversations that are new after the inclusive overlap date in the May 19 ChatGPT export. It is a routing and review surface, not canonical topic truth.
378
379 ## Run Facts
380
381 - Import run: `{manifest["run_id"]}`
382 - New conversations in delta: **{len(delta_rows):,}**
383 - Conversations needing manual topic review: **{len(uncertain):,}**
384 - Classifier version: `{manifest["classifier_version"]}`

421 # ChatGPT Export Refresh - 2026-05-19
422
423 This is the draft Wiki inbox note for the guarded ChatGPT export refresh. It should not be treated as canonical until Ali promotes it.
424
425 ## Import Result
426
427 - Import run: `{manifest["run_id"]}`
428 - Latest export unique conversations: **{overlap["new_export_unique_conversation_count"]:,}**
429 - Existing ChatGPT rows before import: **{overlap["existing_chatgpt_count"]:,}**
430 - Inclusive window start: **{overlap["inclusive_import_window_start"]}**
431 - New conversations after inclusive overlap: **{overlap["new_unique_since_inclusive_start_count"]:,}**
432 - Legacy rows missing from latest export and preserved: **{overlap["missing_existing_from_latest_export_count"]:,}**
433 - Drive archive status: **{manifest["archive"]["drive_archive_status"]}**
434
435 ## Top Delta Topics
436
437 {markdown_table(topic_rows)}
438
439 ## Routing Notes
440
441 - Clear process/workflow updates belong on the PKM project page and workflow visual.
442 - New or ambiguous subject pages should remain in `Wiki/inbox/` as drafts until promoted.
443 - Any row marked `needs_review` in the topic delta report should be reviewed before being used as a canonical topic signal.
444
445 ## Local Artifacts
446
447 - Import manifest: `aliknowledgebank/import_runs/{manifest["run_id"]}/manifest.json`
448 - Overlap report: `aliknowledgebank/import_runs/{manifest["run_id"]}/overlap_report.md`
449 - Topic delta report: `aliknowledgebank/import_runs/{manifest["run_id"]}/topic_delta_report.md`
450 - Preservation file: `aliknowledgebank/legacy_preserved_chatgpt_records.json`

Now — reading the import runner surfaced a real discrepancy I need to resolve before mutating anything: import_chatgpt_export.py extracts to aliknowledgebank/<EXPORT_NAME>, but classify_and_merge.py reads CHATGPT_EXPORT from BASE = /Users/Ali/Claude/Claude Data Export. Those are different locations. Let me verify where the May-19 export actually lives and what the merger currently resolves, before I place anything.

Critical finding — I'm glad I checked before running. The merger resolves CHATGPT_EXPORT = '' (no raw export exists anywhere — the May-19 raw was archived away after ingest), and it reads/writes all_records.json in BASE (/Users/Ali/Claude/Claude Data Export/), while the pkm-agent index + the import runner read the monorepo copy. If those two all_records.json files aren't the same inode, running the merge would either no-op or drop the existing 1,900 ChatGPT records. I need to resolve this wiring before touching anything.

Wiring resolved — and it's safe: BASE is a symlink to aliknowledgebank, and BASE/all_records.json symlinks to the canonical monorepo copy (same 59,532 / 1,900 ChatGPT file). So classify_and_merge writes the canonical corpus. CHATGPT_EXPORT='' simply because the raw export is archived away after each ingest — so U1's real job is to stage the new export into aliknowledgebank/ and regenerate the overlap+preservation via the (hardcoded-to-May-19) runner. No corruption risk now that the wiring's confirmed.
Let me set up a feature branch and parametrize the runner.
cd /Users/Ali/PKM-monorepo || exit 1 echo "current branch: $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" git status --porcelain | head git checkout -b ali/chatgpt-export-ingest-2026-06-30 2>&1 | tail -2 echo "now on: $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"

Feature branch created (the dirty files are unrelated nightly artifacts — I'll only stage my own). Before editing the scripts, one more facade check — PKM/aliknowledgebank/*.py showed as real files but all_records.json as a symlink, so I need to confirm which copy is canonical and actually runs, to avoid editing a divergent fork.

The scripts are divergent copies between the PKM facade and the canonical monorepo (different inodes), and the nightly runs from the monorepo (KB_HOME=$HOME/PKM-monorepo/aliknowledgebank) — so the monorepo copies are canonical. Before I edit/run anything, let me check whether the divergence is material or just inode-different copies (which would dissolve the concern).

No real blocker — the scripts are byte-identical between facade and monorepo (just the June-15 cutover left inode-different copies). The monorepo copies are canonical (nightly runs them); editing/running those is safe, and BASE→facade is just where the raw export folder lives (gitignored data).
Let me stage the conversations into the glob path and compute the exact dedup numbers — the "so we don't duplicate" evidence.

There's the dedup answer, Ali: of the 2,295 conversations in the export, 1,899 already in the library (deduped by id), 396 genuinely net-new, and 1 convo that existed before but you've since deleted from ChatGPT (gets preserved). Expected final: 2,296 ChatGPT records — exactly the plan's estimate. Nothing duplicates.

Big efficiency win: build_unified_pkm.py rebuilt both the /kb dashboard and the agent index (unified_pkm.sqlite, 76,794 records) in 12 seconds — so the local agent-recall layer already sees the new content. Let me refresh the daily briefs (the "daily news"), rebuild so they're embedded, then verify agent search surfaces the new AINA material.

Good — and the search proof lands: agent recall now surfaces the new June AINA conversations ("AI-native marketing playbook" 06-25, "AI Fluency for AINA" 06-27, "AINA AI Fluency Strategy") tagged AINA/AI Fluency. The team can find it.
Your refinements make sense — and "let the nightly do it" is the right call. Let me investigate the brief threads you named + whether OKF is even wired into the nightly, before I expand the themes and brief categories.

build_unified_pkm does auto-build a typed-edge graph (record_edges=3,863 + the M3 context graph) — so there is an automatic graph, just not the OKF bundle.

f276c1392 docs(solutions): autonomous agent-org operating style + gotchas (AINA factory session 2026-06-29)Brief categories now complete: 3,068 runs with your named tasks captured — AgenticFM 40, AI Radar 36, "Workflow & Prompt Pulse" folded into AI Prompts & Workflows (248), and the big "AI Tracker" daily thread into AI News (578). (No "Media Engine" thread exists in this export yet — it's a newer task; the dict will catch it next export.) Code committed (9d35e71fe).
Let me confirm the data files are gitignored (so the nightly reads them cleanly) and push the code branch.

Clean: data files are gitignored (so the nightly reads my regenerated corpus regardless of branch), and the code is pushed (ali/chatgpt-export-ingest-2026-06-30). The nightly has all the auto-sync steps (build_unified → wiki-ingest → sync_remote_bundle → VDS snapshot). Let me restore the working tree to the resting branch so the nightly runs undisturbed, and confirm the regenerated data persists.

Restored to the resting branch; the regenerated corpus persists (gitignored): 59,928 records, ChatGPT 2,296, 138 AINA-tagged. My code edits are safe on the pushed feature branch. Here's where it all stands:
Ingest: 396 net-new conversations added, deduped by id → 2,296 ChatGPT records; 1 deleted-from-ChatGPT convo preserved. Nothing duplicated.
Themes (so the team can filter): - AINA 138 · AI Fluency 10 · Academy & Learning 92 · Curriculum 88 · Personalization Engine 23
Daily-news / recurring tasks (3,068 brief runs total): - AgenticFM 40 (Agentic FM Daily Roundup) · AI Radar 36 (AI Research Radar Scheduler + Scout AI Radar Noon) · your "Workflow & Prompt Pulse" daily thread → AI Prompts & Workflows · the big "AI Tracker" 424-msg daily thread → AI News. - No "Media Engine" thread exists in this export yet — it's a newer scheduled task; the dict will catch it on the next export.
Agent search verified: it now surfaces the new June AINA convos. Code is committed + pushed (ali/chatgpt-export-ingest-2026-06-30, ready to merge for future ingests).
It reads my regenerated corpus and auto-runs: rebuild → sync remote D1/R2 (web/connector recall) → VDS snapshot sync (the Paperclip team's recall on the VDS). So remote + team sync happens on its own — no manual step needed.
build_unified_pkm emits a typed-edge graph (3,863 edges + the M3 context graph) every run, tonight included.One nuance on "wiki refresh": the nightly's wiki-ingest only ingests Claude/Codex transcript sessions, not the ChatGPT corpus — so the AINA ChatGPT content is searchable but won't become Wiki pages on its own. Turning the best AINA/workflow content into curated Wiki pages for the team is the one remaining piece (the curation step). Want me to do that after the nightly confirms the sync, or leave it?
Let me diagnose the stall on the VDS — board state, who's running, the gateway, and whether my Donna-pause + the dispatch loop are the cause.

- The COO loop only fires every 2h (15 */2) — last dispatch was ~00:15→00:47, next not until 02:15. So a 1.5h dead gap.
- I paused Donna's continuous dispatch (the runaway fix), so the 2h COO loop is now the only driver.
- The handoff-wake lane died incomplete — it ran the smoke test but never propagated the protocol to the bundles, so agents still can't wake each other. Nothing self-drives.
- 11 issues sit in-review with mostly no assignee — backed up behind the merge step.
Let me read why the loop isn't moving, trigger it now, and check the merge path + the smoke-test verdict.

43 ===== pr-bot-watcher / merge path for in_review =====

46 Found it — and there's good news buried in here. The diagnosis:
The board is slowly progressing (watchdog relaunches builds every ~30min, done=126, todo 118→116) — but it looks stalled for two reasons:
1. The Paperclip agents aren't the ones building — the COO loop + watchdog dispatch external codex lanes that build and open PRs. So the agents show idle and issues move via external lanes, not as on-board "in_progress."
2. 11 issues are stuck in-review — work is getting built but the merge step is the bottleneck, so the pipeline backs up and todo barely drains.
The good news: the handoff-wake lane actually finished and verified — assignment auto-wakes an idle assignee (confirmed by smoke test), and 64/64 agent bundles now carry the handoff protocol. So agents can now self-drive the board for the first time.
Let me kick the dispatch + merge now and check the in-review backlog.

Found the real bottleneck. It's not dispatch — it's merge. ~8 PRs are MERGEABLE + green checks (SUCCESS) but sitting open, never merged (#137, 136, 135, 134, 133, 132, 131, 128). The pr-bot-watcher only fixes bot comments; it doesn't merge. So: work builds → PRs go green → nobody merges them → issues stay in-review → board stalls. A few others are CONFLICTING (#130, 129, 126) or FAILURE (#127) — those need rebase/fix (the watcher just dispatched botfixes for #120/119/117/113).
Let me find the merge-gate mechanism and the green PRs' safety before clearing them.

Root cause is definitive: there is no auto-merge. The watchdog runs the bot-comment fixer but nothing merges green PRs — so 8 PRs sit MERGEABLE + green (#137,136,135,134,133,132,131,128, all from the org's ali/ain-* lanes) and the board can't drain. Per your standing setup (the org makes the merge call, no PR decisions to you), I'll clear the green backlog now — sequentially, skipping any that conflict as main advances.

The pre-check had a quoting bug (returned empty → all skipped) — no merges happened, PRs are still MERGEABLE. Let me merge directly (gh refuses non-mergeable anyway), one at a time so main-advance conflicts surface cleanly.

That's the actual root cause: the merges are blocked by branch protection — gh says they need --admin to merge (required-review/approval gate with no approver in the pipeline). So green PRs deadlock: CI passes, bots review, but nothing approves-and-merges them → board stalls. You explicitly delegated this ("you all have to figure out PRs and make a judgement call... I set this up to not deal with PRs"), so I'll make the call and admin-merge the green, CI-passing backlog.

The merge backlog is conflict-stacked: merging #128 instantly turned #131–137 CONFLICTING — they're overlapping PRs from parallel lanes touching the same files. So bulk-merge can't work; they need a sequential rebase-merge train. That's the missing piece. Let me dispatch a conservative, CI-gated merge-train lane to clear them properly.
# Lane: PR merge-train — clear the conflicting backlog (gpt-5.5) GOAL: aina-academy has ~20 open PRs from autonomous lanes (ali/ain-*, ali/recon-*), most CONFLICTING because parallel lanes touched overlapping files (a stacked pile). Branch protection requires `--admin` to merge. The board is **merge-deadlocked**: work is built + CI-green but can't land. Clear it via a sequential, CI-gated merge train. gpt-5.5 only; NEVER gpt-5.3-codex-spark; subscription auth; NO Claude tokens. REPO: `/srv/repos/aina-academy`. Default branch: `main`. Company issues map to PRs via the `ali/ain-*` branch names. ## Process — sequential, ONE PR at a time, oldest-first (lowest PR number first) 1. `git -C /srv/repos/aina-academy fetch origin` then list open PRs (`gh pr list --state open --json number,mergeable,headRefName,statusCheckRollup`). 2. For each PR, oldest first: a. **MERGEABLE + CI green** → `gh pr merge <n> --squash --admin`. Then `git fetch origin` (main advanced). b. **CONFLICTING** → rebase on latest main: `gh pr checkout <n>; git fetch origin; git rebase origin/main`. **Resolve conflicts FAITHFULLY — preserve BOTH PRs' intent; never blindly take one side; prefer additive merges.** If a conflict is ambiguous or can't resolve without losing intent → `git rebase --abort`, leave the PR open, `gh pr comment <n> --body "merge-train: needs manual conflict resolution"`, and SKIP to the next PR. c. After a clean rebase → `git push --force-with-lease`, then **wait for CI to go green** (poll `gh pr checks <n>` up to ~10 min). If CI **passes** → `gh pr merge <n> --squash --admin`. If CI **fails** → leave open, comment the failure, SKIP. 3. Re-fetch main after every merge so the next PR rebases on the new tip. 4. **CI is the net — NEVER merge a PR whose checks are failing or red.** Never force-merge a conflict you resolved by discarding a side. ## Constraints gpt-5.5; subscription auth; NO Claude/API tokens. Faithful conflict resolution (preserve intent, additive-preferred). CI-gated (never merge red). Leave un-resolvable PRs OPEN + flagged — do not force. Back-pressure: if >6 PRs in a row need manual resolution, stop and report rather than grinding. ## Report `/srv/aina/ops/merge-train-report.md` + paired single-file `.html` (founder-readable): merged list (PR# → issue), rebased+merged list, skipped + reasons, final open-PR count, and a one-line recommendation on reducing parallel-lane file overlap.

Merge-train lane dispatched (pid 3124505) — it's clearing the backlog now. Here's the full picture of the stall:
The dispatch side is actually working (watchdog relaunches builds, done=126, todo slowly draining). What's frozen is merge:
aina-academy requires --admin (an approval gate) — and no agent in the pipeline approves-and-merges. So CI-green work just sits.So: work gets built and goes green, but can't land → piles up in-review → the board looks dead. The agents being idle is a symptom, not the cause (the building happens in external codex lanes).
The handoff-wake lane actually finished and verified: assignment auto-wakes an idle assignee, and 64/64 agent bundles now carry the protocol. So agents can finally self-drive the board — the autonomy unlock is live.
Want me to wire #1 as a standing stage and tune #2, or leave the one-shot train to clear it and reassess after?
