# {PROJECT_NAME} — Claude Code Instructions

## Custodian State Hub Integration

This project is tracked as the **{DOMAIN}** domain in the Custodian State Hub.
Hub topic ID: `{TOPIC_ID}`

The State Hub runs locally at http://127.0.0.1:8000. The MCP server (`state-hub`)
exposes tools for reading and writing state without touching the API directly.

---

### Session Protocol

**On receiving your first message — before writing any response text — execute
this orientation sequence. Do not greet, do not ask what to do first.**

**Step 1 — Call the State Hub**
```
get_state_summary()   # orientation: workstreams, decisions, recent progress
get_next_steps()      # contextual suggestions from resolved decisions
```
If the call fails, the API is offline: `cd ~/the-custodian/state-hub && make api`

**Step 2 — Scan local workplans**

Read every `.md` file under `workplans/`. Use `Glob(pattern="**/*.md", path="workplans/")`
or Bash `ls workplans/` to discover them. For each file with `status: active`,
extract and note:
- The workplan title and ID
- All tasks whose `status` is `todo` or `in_progress`

**Step 3 — Present orientation to the user**

Output a concise brief covering:
1. **Active workstreams** (from state hub) for the `{DOMAIN}` domain — title,
   task counts, any blocking decisions
2. **Pending tasks for this repo** — from local `workplans/` files (Step 2)
   plus any state hub tasks with `[repo:{REPO_SLUG}]` in their title
3. **Suggested next action** — the highest-priority open item across both sources
4. **SBOM status** — is `last_sbom_at` set for this repo? If not, note it as a gap

If there are no workstreams at all: follow the First Session Protocol below.

**During work:**
- Use `record_decision()` for any decision that affects direction or dependencies.
- Use `add_progress_event()` for notable events (milestones, blockers, insights).
- Use `resolve_decision()` to close a decision once the choice is made.

> **Design boundary:** The State Hub is a *read model*. Two write operations are
> permanently sanctioned: **Resolving Decisions** and **Suggesting Next Steps**.
> The bootstrap tools (`create_workstream`, `create_task`, `update_task_status`)
> are only for First Session Protocol. Formal work structure — workplans, tasks —
> belongs in the domain repo as files (ADR-001), not managed through the hub alone.

**At the end of every session:**
- Call `add_progress_event()` with a summary of what was accomplished or decided.
  Include `topic_id: {TOPIC_ID}` and the relevant `workstream_id`.

---

### Repo Boundary Rule

This agent is responsible for files **in this repo only**.

- **Do not** write files or make commits in any other repository
- **Do not** create workplan files in other repos on their behalf
- When you identify work for another registered repo (**ecosystem todo**):
  create a state hub task with `[repo:<slug>]` in the title — the other repo's
  agent will see it at session start and create its own workplan
- When you identify work for an upstream repo (**third-party todo**):
  create a contribution artifact in `contrib/` and register it

### First Session Protocol

Triggered when `get_state_summary()` shows **no workstreams** for the `{DOMAIN}`
topic. The project is registered but work has not yet been structured.

**Step 1 — Understand the project (read, don't write)**
- `~/the-custodian/canon/projects/{DOMAIN}/project_charter_v0.1.md` — purpose, scope
- `~/the-custodian/canon/projects/{DOMAIN}/roadmap_v0.1.md` — planned phases
- Scan the repo root: README, directory structure, existing code or docs

**Step 2 — Survey in-progress work**
- Look for TODOs, open branches, half-finished files, notes
- Note what is already done vs. what is clearly started but incomplete

**Step 3 — Propose workstreams to Bernd**
Propose 1–3 workstreams — each a coherent strand of work lasting weeks to months,
named clearly, anchored to a roadmap phase. **Wait for approval before creating.**

**Step 4 — Create workplan file first, then DB record**
Per ADR-001, work items originate as files in the repo:
```
workplans/<DOMAIN>-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md   ← write this first
```
Then register in the hub:
```
create_workstream(topic_id="{TOPIC_ID}", title="...", owner="...", description="...")
create_task(workstream_id="<id>", title="...", priority="high|medium|low")
```

**Step 5 — Record the setup**
```
add_progress_event(
    summary="First session: structured {DOMAIN} work into N workstreams, M tasks",
    event_type="milestone",
    topic_id="{TOPIC_ID}",
    detail={"workstreams": [...], "tasks_created": M}
)
```

---

### Workplan Convention (ADR-001)

Work items MUST originate as files in this repo before being registered in the hub.

**File location:** `workplans/<ID>-<slug>.md`
**Frontmatter required:** `id`, `type: workplan`, `domain`, `repo`, `status`,
`state_hub_workstream_id`, `state_hub_task_id` (per task)

When another domain's agent identifies work for this repo, it creates a state hub
task with `[repo:{REPO_SLUG}]` in the title (an **ecosystem todo**). You will
see it at session start via `get_state_summary()`. When you pick it up, create
the corresponding workplan file in `workplans/` (ADR-001) and begin work.

---

### Contribution Tracking

Track upstream contributions in `contrib/` — bug reports (BR), feature requests
(FR), extension-point proposals (EP), upstream PRs (UPR).

```
contrib/
  bug-reports/       # br-YYYY-MM-DD--org--repo--slug.md
  feature-requests/  # fr-YYYY-MM-DD--org--repo--slug.md
  extension-points/  # EP-{DOMAIN}-NNN--org--repo--slug.md
  upstream-prs/      # upr-YYYY-MM-DD--org--repo--slug.md
```

Templates: `~/the-custodian/canon/standards/contrib-templates/`
Convention: `~/the-custodian/canon/standards/contribution-convention_v0.1.md`

```
register_contribution(type="br|fr|ep|upr", title="...", target_org="...",
    target_repo="...", body_path="contrib/...", related_workstream_id="<uuid>")
update_contribution_status(contribution_id="<uuid>", status="submitted")
```

---

### SBOM

After updating dependencies, re-ingest the SBOM:
```bash
cd ~/the-custodian/state-hub
make ingest-sbom REPO={REPO_SLUG} SCAN=1 REPO_PATH=$(pwd)
```

Check compliance: `http://localhost:3000/repos`
Standard: `~/the-custodian/canon/standards/sbom-convention_v0.1.md`
