+Triggered when `get_domain_summary("markitect")` shows **no workstreams**.
+The project is registered but work has not yet been structured.
+
+**Step 1 — Read, don't write**
+- `~/the-custodian/canon/projects/markitect/project_charter_v0.1.md` — purpose, scope
+- `~/the-custodian/canon/projects/markitect/roadmap_v0.1.md` — planned phases
+- Scan repo root: README, directory structure, existing code or docs
+
+**Step 2 — Survey in-progress work**
+Look for TODOs, open branches, half-finished files. Note done vs. started but incomplete.
+
+**Step 3 — Propose workstreams to Bernd**
+Propose 1–3 workstreams — each a coherent strand, weeks to months, anchored to a
+roadmap phase. **Wait for approval before creating.**
+
+**Step 4 — Create workplan file first, then DB record (ADR-001)**
+```
+workplans/markitect-project-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md   ← write this first
+```
+Then register in the hub:

+create_task(workstream_id="<id>", title="...", priority="high|medium|low")

+## Session Protocol
+
+State Hub: http://127.0.0.1:8000
+
+**Step 1 — Orient**
+
+Read the offline-safe brief first — it works without a live hub connection:
+```bash
+cat .custodian-brief.md
+```
+Then call the MCP tool for richer cross-domain context when MCP tools are exposed:
+```
+get_domain_summary("markitect")
+```
+If MCP tools are unavailable in the current agent session, use the REST API:
+```bash
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/state/summary" | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+If the hub is offline: `cd ~/state-hub && make api`
+
+**Step 2 — Check inbox**
+With MCP tools:
+```
+get_messages(to_agent="markitect-project", unread_only=True)
+```
+Mark read with `mark_message_read(message_id)`. Reply or act on coordination
+requests before proceeding.
+
+Without MCP tools:
+```bash
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/?to_agent=markitect-project&unread_only=true" \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/<id>/read" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
+```
+
+**Step 3 — Scan workplans**
+```bash
+ls workplans/
+```
+For each file with `status: ready`, `active`, or `blocked`, note pending
+`todo`/`in_progress` tasks.
+
+**Step 4 — Present brief**
+
+1. **Active workstreams** for `markitect` — title, task counts, blocking decisions
+2. **Pending tasks** from `workplans/` + any `[repo:markitect-project]` hub tasks
+3. **Goal guidance** — if `goal_guidance` in summary:
+   - `needs_workplan`: surface as top action — *"Repo goal '{title}' has no workplan yet"*
+   - `alignment_warnings`: flag if active work is not aligned with current goal
+4. **Suggested next action** — highest-priority open item
+5. **SBOM status** — flag if `last_sbom_at` is unset for this repo
+
+If no workstreams: follow First Session Protocol (`first-session.md`).
+
+**During work:** `record_decision()` · `add_progress_event()` · `resolve_decision()`
+
+> State Hub is a *read model*. Bootstrap tools (`create_workstream`, `create_task`)
+> are First Session Protocol only. Work structure belongs in repo files (ADR-001).
+
+**Session close:**
+With MCP tools:
+```
+add_progress_event(summary="...", topic_id="5571d954-0d30-4950-980d-7bcaaad8e3e2", workstream_id="<uuid>")
+```
+Without MCP tools:
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/progress/ \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"topic_id":"5571d954-0d30-4950-980d-7bcaaad8e3e2","workstream_id":"<uuid>","event_type":"note","summary":"what changed","author":"codex"}'
+```
+If workplan files were modified, ensure the local copy is up to date first:
+```bash
+git -C <repo_path> pull --ff-only
+cd ~/state-hub && make fix-consistency REPO=markitect-project
+```
+For repos where implementation runs on a remote machine (e.g. CoulombCore),
+use the combined target which pulls before fixing:
+```bash
+cd ~/state-hub && make fix-consistency-remote REPO=markitect-project
+```
+**C-15** (DB task ahead of file) is normal in multi-machine workflows — writeback
+will sync the file to match DB.  **C-16** (repo behind remote) blocks all writes
+until you pull — intentional to prevent clobbering remote progress.

+File location: `workplans/markitect-project-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
+ID prefix: `MARKITECT-WP`
+
+Work items originate as files in this repo **before** being registered in the hub.
+
+Canonical workplan/workstream frontmatter statuses are:
+`proposed`, `ready`, `active`, `blocked`, `backlog`, `finished`, `archived`.
+Use `proposed` for a newly drafted plan, `ready` after review against current
+repo state, and `finished` when implementation is complete. `stalled` and
+`needs_review` are derived health labels, not stored statuses.
+
+Closed workplans may be moved to `workplans/archived/` with a completion-date
+prefix: `YYMMDD-markitect-project-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`. The frontmatter id remains
+unchanged; the prefix is only for quick visual reference.
+
+Small opportunistic tasks discovered during another session use **Ad Hoc Tasks**:
+`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md`, workstream slug `adhoc-YYYY-MM-DD`, and task ids
+`ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`, `T02`, etc. Use adhocs only for low-risk work completed
+directly. Promote anything requiring analysis, design, approval, dependencies, or
+multiple planned phases into a normal workplan.
+
+Ecosystem todos from other agents arrive as `[repo:markitect-project]` hub tasks —
+visible at session start. Pick one up by creating the workplan file, then registering
+the workstream.

+    "author": "codex",
+    "workstream_id": "<uuid>",
+    "task_id": "<uuid>"
+  }'
+```
+
+Omit `workstream_id` / `task_id` when not applicable.
+
+### Update task status
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tasks/<task_id>" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"status": "in_progress"}'
+# values: todo | in_progress | done | blocked
+```
+
+### Flag a task for human review
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tasks/<task_id>" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"needs_human": true, "intervention_note": "reason"}'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Session Protocol
+
+**Start:**
+1. `cat .custodian-brief.md` — domain goal and open workstreams (offline-safe)
+2. Check inbox: `GET /messages/?to_agent=markitect-project&unread_only=true`; mark read
+3. Scan workplans: `ls workplans/` — note `status: ready`, `active`, or `blocked` files and open tasks
+4. Check blocked tasks: `GET /tasks/?needs_human=true`
+
+**During work:**
+- Update task statuses in workplan files as tasks progress
+- Record significant decisions via `POST /decisions/`
+
+**Close:**
+1. Update workplan file task statuses to reflect progress
+2. Log: `POST /progress/` with a summary of what changed
+3. Note for the custodian operator: after workplan file changes, run from
+   `~/state-hub`:
+   ```bash
+   make fix-consistency REPO=markitect-project
+   ```
+   This syncs task status from files into the hub DB.
+
+---
+
+## Workplan Convention (ADR-001)
+
+Work items originate as files in this repo — not in the hub. The hub is a
+read/cache/index layer that rebuilds from files.
+
+**File location:** `workplans/MARKITECT-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
+
+**Archived location:** finished workplans may move to
+`workplans/archived/YYMMDD-MARKITECT-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`. The `YYMMDD` prefix is
+the completion/archive date; the frontmatter `id` does not change.
+
+**Ad Hoc Tasks:** small opportunistic fixes discovered during a session use
+`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md` with task ids `ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`, etc. Use
+this only for low-risk work completed directly; create a normal workplan for
+anything needing analysis, design, approval, dependencies, or multiple phases.
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+id: MARKITECT-WP-NNNN
+type: workplan
+title: "..."
+domain: markitect
+repo: markitect-project
+status: proposed | ready | active | blocked | backlog | finished | archived
+owner: codex
+topic_slug: ...
+created: "YYYY-MM-DD"
+updated: "YYYY-MM-DD"
+state_hub_workstream_id: "<uuid>"   # written by fix-consistency — do not edit
+---
+```
+
+Use `proposed` for a new draft, `ready` after review against current repo
+state, and `finished` after implementation. `stalled` and `needs_review` are
+derived health labels, not frontmatter statuses.
+
+**Task block format** (one per `##` section):
+
+```
+## Task Title
+
+` ` `task
+id: MARKITECT-WP-NNNN-T01
+status: todo | in_progress | done | blocked
+priority: high | medium | low
+state_hub_task_id: "<uuid>"         # written by fix-consistency — do not edit
+` ` `
+
+Task description text.
+```
+
+Status progression: `todo` → `in_progress` → `done` (or `blocked`)
+
+To create a new workplan:
+1. Write the file following the format above
+2. Notify the custodian operator to run `make fix-consistency REPO=markitect-project`
+   (or send a message to the hub agent via `POST /messages/`)

-## Custodian State Hub Integration
-
-This project is tracked as the **markitect** domain in the Custodian State Hub.
-Hub topic ID: `5571d954-0d30-4950-980d-7bcaaad8e3e2`
-
-**Session start:** Call `get_domain_summary("markitect")` via the `state-hub` MCP tool.
-If the hub is not reachable: `cd ~/the-custodian/state-hub && make api`
-
-**Session end:** Call `add_progress_event()` with `topic_id` above, a `summary`, and `event_type` (`note` / `milestone` / `blocker`).
-
-**Available state-hub MCP tools:** `get_state_summary`, `get_domain_summary`, `add_progress_event`, `create_workstream`, `create_task`, `update_task_status`, `record_decision`, `resolve_decision`.
-
-If the hub API is unavailable, use `curl` against `http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs`.

-
-## Architecture
-
-MarkiTect is a CLI-driven markdown engine that treats documents as structured, queryable information spaces. Entry point: `markitect/cli.py` → `main()` (Click group). All subcommand groups are registered at the bottom of `cli.py`.
-
-### Core Modules (`markitect/`)
-
-| Module | Purpose |
-|--------|---------|
-| `spaces/` | InformationSpace model — composability, events, history, transclusion, rendering, sync |
-| `prompts/` | Prompt resolver, compiler, execution engine, quality gates, dependency graph, traceability |
-| `llm/` | LLM adapter layer — 4 text providers + embedding adapter; 7-layer config resolution |
-| `infospace/` | Infospace lifecycle — init, entity parsing, evaluation, composition, graph export |
-| `analysis/` | Graph analysis (networkx) and FCA (Formal Concept Analysis, pure Python) |
-| `schema*/` | Schema generation, validation, naming, refinement, metaschema |
-| `core/` | Foundational parser, AST, serializer, workspace |
-
-### LLM Configuration (`markitect/llm/`)
-
-Resolution order (highest → lowest priority):
-1. CLI flags (`--provider`, `--model`)
-2. `MARKITECT_HELPER_MODEL` env var (model only)
-3. User preference (`[llm.preference]` in `~/.config/markitect/config.toml`)
-4. Directory preference (`[llm.preference]` in `.markitect.toml`)
-5. Directory default (`[llm.default]` in `.markitect.toml`)
-6. User default (`[llm.default]` in `~/.config/markitect/config.toml`)
-7. Hardcoded fallback: `gemini/gemini-2.5-flash`
-
-Canonical models: `markitect/llm/models.py` (`RunConfig`, `LLMResponse`) and `markitect/llm/adapter.py` (`LLMAdapter`). These are mirrored in the standalone `/home/worsch/llm-connect/` package (`llm_connect`), which is installed as a local path dependency. `markitect/prompts/execution/{models,llm_adapter}.py` are re-export shims for backward compatibility.
-
-**Gotcha:** The `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` env var may hold a stale key — `unset OPENROUTER_API_KEY` before running LLM commands if you get auth errors. `claude-code` provider fails inside Claude Code sessions (nested session restriction).
-
-### Infospace (`markitect/infospace/`)
-
-An infospace is a directory-based collection of typed entities governed by an `infospace.yaml` config. Key files:
-- `config.py` — config loading, `find_infospace_config()`, `DisciplineBinding`
-- `entity_parser.py` — parse entity markdown files from `output/entities/<slug>.md`
-- `evaluation.py` / `evaluation_io.py` — per-entity LLM evaluation (5 dimensions)
-- `state.py` — `build_state()` aggregates entity + evaluation state
-- `history.py` / `checks/` — viability tracking and collection-level checks
-
-Slugs use **underscores** (e.g., `accumulation_of_stock`). Active example: `examples/infospace-with-history/` (988 entities).
-
-### Layered Architecture
-
-The project has a partially-implemented layered architecture separate from `markitect/`:
-- `domain/` — domain models (issues, projects)
-- `infrastructure/` — config, repositories, logging, connection management
-- `application/` — application layer (mostly empty)
-- `capabilities/` — pluggable capability packages (`issue-facade`, `release-management`, `testdrive-jsui`, `markitect-utils`, `markitect-content`, `kaizen-agentic`)
-
-### Tests
-
-Tests live in `tests/`. Many test files are named `test_issue_NNN_*.py` (TDD by issue). Layered tests follow `test_l{N}_*.py` naming. The `tests/unit/` subtree has the cleanest structure and covers `prompts/`, `spaces/`, `llm/`, `infospace/`, `analysis/`.
-
-Pytest config is in `pytest.ini`. Relevant markers: `unit`, `integration`, `e2e`, `slow`, `performance`.
