Phased execution

A2C work proceeds in explicit phases. Do not jump ahead. Keep steps small and reviewable.

Phase model

PhaseFocusTypical outputs
1 — SkeletonRepository anatomyREADME, folder tree, minimal metadata
2 — Core docsGoverning documentationADR structure, rules, templates, portal note
3 — Execution assetsAI-ready artifactsPrompt pack, profile example, expanded docs
4 — ToolingOptional helpersSmall scripts only when clearly justified

Phases are guidance, not a waterfall. Within each phase, work still lands as small commits.

Bootstrap phases for a2c-workflow

This repository was bootstrapped using pathname:///a2c-assets/plans/bootstrap-a2c-workflow.md.

Phase rules for agents

  1. Complete the current phase batch before starting the next
  2. Propose the file list when uncertain — do not invent speculative structure
  3. Prefer Markdown artifacts before code or utilities
  4. Stop after the planned batch; wait for review
  5. Update the commit plan when scope changes
