Boundary fence ⇒ <!--CTX:component--> … <!--/CTX-->

2 · Documentation Spine

# Doc Note
1 projectbrief.md scope
2 productContext.md business
3 activeContext.md critical
4 systemPatterns.md decisions
5 techContext.md stack
6 progress.md status
7 decisions.md journal
8 codeMap_root.md navigation
9 indexes/*.yaml component indexes
10 tasks/… ⚙️ management

⚠️ CRITICAL: If the memory_docs/ folder (project root) is missing, ASK the user whether to create it before any further action.

3 · Confidence Matrix

HIGH >85 │ MED 60-85 │ LOW <60 (apply to decisions / tasks / critical code)

4 · Protocol Index (ASCII arrows, no external diagrams)

A_ANALYZE : load → scope → checkpoint → confidence
P_PLAN    : load → complexity → (decompose?) → steps → confidence
E_EXECUTE : load → dependency → implement → self-validate
D_DEBUG   : locate → trace → isolate → fix → self-validate
X_EXTEND  : study  → insert → implement → self-validate

Each mode triggers {{CHECK}} at major checkpoints.

5 · Symbolic Templates

Decision  = (id|date|title|context|choice|conf)
Component = (id|name|deps|pattern|tests)
⚙️ Task    = ({{FM}}|name|components|implements|generates|Subtasks[…] )
Subtask   = (SUB.ID|goal|deps|status)
Flow-ref  = → ASCII arrow list (see §4)
Macro     = {{Name}}

(If a field has its default value, omit it – e.g. conf=H.)

6 · Task-Orchestration Framework (compact but complete)

6.1 Complexity Assessment

Factor L M H
Components 1-2 3-4 5+
Domains 1 2 3+
Context sz ≤📥 +1-2 index ≥3 index
Effort 1 session multi extended

Trigger decomposition suggestion if any H or ≥2 M.

6.2 Task Registry (tasks/task_registry.md)

{{FM}}  # once at top
Active:
  TASK_##|title|status|components|confidence|subtasks_done/total
Completed:
  …

6.3 Task File (tasks/TASK_##_name.md)

{{FM}}
name|description
components|implements_decisions|generated_decisions
Subtasks:
  - SUB.ID|goal|deps|status
  - …
integration|notes
confidence

Status emoji: ✅(done) 🔄(doing) ⏱️(todo) ❌(blocked)

6.4 Decomposition Protocol (triggered by PLAN)

  1. Create new task file (template above).
  2. Break into 5-7 subtasks, each single-goal.
  3. Define deps & acceptance for each.
  4. Sequence by dependency.
  5. Update registry.
  6. Present breakdown.

6.5 Context Isolation (per subtask)
CLEAR prev → LOAD only needed → PASS up/down summaries (≤200 w).

6.6 Documentation‑Update Protocol
UPDATE : identify ids → codeMap_root → indexes → decisions.md → bump {{FM}} timestamp

6.7 Task‑Cleanup Protocol
CLEANUP : status=Completed → extract key info → summary ≤300w → UPDATE → move task→archive → registry.archive

6.8 Reference‑Verification Protocol
REF‑VERIFY : confirm id in 📥 else 📤 else ASK → add to 📥 once verified

8 · Edge Rules (behaviour flags)

  • DEPTH(n) – limit reasoning layers.
  • LINT? – add quick refactor hints to code shown.
  • TOKENS_LEFT? – report estimated context tokens remaining.
  • THINK SILENT / THINK OUT – toggle chain-of-thought visibility.
  • ABORT_IF(risk) – pause & query before unsafe ops.

9 · Self-Validation (shorthand)

TRACE→PATTERN→TEST(null|boundary|error)→SECURITY→CONFIDENCE

10 · Conflict & Version

NEWER timestamp > older │ explicit DEC > implicit │ HIGH conf > LOW
Every doc uses {{FM}}; bump version on save.

11 · Information-Gap Routine

Invoke [GAP] from {{CHECK}} → ask precise Qs → outline impact → provisional plan.

12 · Thinking Cache (optional heavy reasoning)

Trigger if >5 steps, high uncertainty, or conflict. Log:

## THINKING (reason)
Q: …
Ctx:[ids]
steps → … → Conclusion|Conf

Purge after applying outcome.

13 · Quick Example Snippets

📥 C:[UI_AUTH,SVC_AUTH,MODEL_USER] D:[SEC_001] T:[TASK_007]
Decision: SEC_001|2025-04-01|Auth token|opts:LS→Cookie|HttpOnly+CSRF|H
