chore: trim sprint and using-archeflow skills for context efficiency

sprint: 302 -> 164 lines (removed pseudocode, redundant tables, Prerequisites)
using-archeflow: 185 -> 55 lines (removed archetypes table, PDCA diagram, progress
indicators, dry-run example, full skills reference)

Do NOT use `archeflow:run` for individual tasks within a sprint -- the sprint runner
handles task dispatch internally, using `archeflow:run` only when a task warrants
full PDCA orchestration.

### Step 1: Select Batch
@@ -69,234 +54,111 @@ Pick tasks for the next batch. Rules:
1. **Priority cascade**: P0 first, then P1, then P2. Never start P3 unless user explicitly includes it.
2. **Dependency check**: Skip tasks whose `depends_on` items aren't all `completed`.
3. **One agent per project**: Never run two tasks on the same project simultaneously.
4. **Cost-aware concurrency**:
- Estimate task cost from `estimate` field: S=cheap, M=moderate, L=expensive, XL=very expensive
- **Expensive tasks** (L, XL): max 2 concurrent
- **Cheap tasks** (S, M): fill remaining slots
- Target mix: 1-2 expensive + 2-3 cheap = 4-5 total
4. **Cost-aware concurrency**: L/XL tasks (expensive) max 2 concurrent. Fill remaining slots with S/M tasks. Target mix: 1-2 expensive + 2-3 cheap.
5. **Slot limit**: Never exceed `--slots` (default 4).

# Pseudocode for batch selection
batch = []
used_projects = set()
expensive_count = 0
for priority in ["P0", "P1", "P2"]:
for task in queue_items(priority, status="pending"):
if len(batch) >= MAX_SLOTS:

if task.project in used_projects:
continue # One agent per project

continue
if task.estimate in ("L", "XL"):
if expensive_count >= 2:
continue
expensive_count += 1
batch.append(task)
used_projects.add(task.project)
```
### Step 2: Assess and Dispatch
For each task in the batch, decide the execution strategy:
| Signal | Strategy | What happens |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| Estimate S, clear scope | **Direct** | Spawn Agent() with task description, no orchestration |
| Estimate M, multi-file | **Direct+** | Spawn Agent() with task + "read code first, run tests after" |
| Estimate L/XL, code | **Feature-dev style** | Agent explores implements self-reviews (see below) |
| Estimate L/XL, writing | **PDCA** | Use af-run with writing domain archetypes |
| Task contains "validate", "test", "lint", "check" | **Direct** | Cheap analytical task, no orchestration |
| Task contains "review", "audit", "security" | **Review** | Spawn Guardian + relevant reviewers only |
| Signal | Strategy |
|--------|----------|
| Estimate S, clear scope | **Direct** -- Agent with task description, no orchestration |
| Estimate M, multi-file | **Direct+** -- Agent with "read code first, run tests after" |
| Estimate L/XL, code | **Feature-dev** -- Agent explores, plans, implements, tests, self-reviews, commits |
| Estimate L/XL, writing | **PDCA** -- Use af-run with writing domain archetypes |
| validate/test/lint/check tasks | **Direct** -- cheap analytical, no orchestration |
| review/audit/security tasks | **Review** -- spawn Guardian + relevant reviewers only |
### L/XL Code Task Template (feature-dev style)
### L/XL Code Task Template
For complex code tasks, give the agent a structured process instead of PDCA:
Give the agent a structured process:
```
Agent(prompt: "You are working on <project> at <path>. Task: <description>
1. EXPLORE: Read CLAUDE.md, docs/status.md, relevant source files.
2. PLAN: Identify files to change, write brief plan (what, where, why).
3. IMPLEMENT: Follow existing code patterns strictly.
4. TEST: Run project test suite, fix failures.
5. SELF-REVIEW: Re-read diff -- error handling, protocol compliance, test coverage.
6. COMMIT + PUSH: Conventional commits, signed, pushed.
STATUS: DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | NEEDS_CONTEXT | BLOCKED")
```
### Agent Spawn Template
Spawn ALL batch agents in a **single message** (parallel execution). Each agent gets:
```
Agent(
description: "<project>: <task-short>",
prompt: "You are working on project <project> at <path>.
Task: <task description>
Follow this process:
1. EXPLORE: Read CLAUDE.md, docs/status.md, and the relevant source files.
Understand existing patterns before writing anything.
2. PLAN: Identify 2-3 files to change. Write a brief plan (what, where, why).
If ambiguous, list your assumptions.
3. IMPLEMENT: Make the changes. Follow existing code patterns strictly.
4. TEST: Run the project's test suite. Fix any failures.
5. SELF-REVIEW: Before committing, re-read your diff. Check:
- Error handling: what happens when this fails?
- Protocol compliance: am I using the right function signatures?
- Tests: did I test the important paths?
6. COMMIT + PUSH: Conventional commits, signed, pushed.
<standard rules>
STATUS: DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | NEEDS_CONTEXT | BLOCKED"
)
```
This gives the agent feature-dev's structured exploration without the multi-agent overhead.
For writing/research L/XL tasks, use af-run instead — archetypes add value where linters don't exist.
**Agent spawn template:**
For each task in the batch, spawn an Agent in the SAME message (parallel dispatch):
```
Agent(
description: "<project>: <task-short>",
prompt: "You are working on project <project> at <path>.
Task: <task description>
<notes if any>
prompt: "You are working on <project> at <path>. Task: <description>
Rules:
- Read the project's CLAUDE.md first
- Commit with: git -c user.signingkey=/home/c/.ssh/id_ed25519_dev.pub commit
- NO Co-Authored-By trailers
- Conventional commits
- Push when done: GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -i /home/c/.ssh/id_ed25519_dev -o IdentitiesOnly=yes' git push origin main
- Commit: git -c user.signingkey=/home/c/.ssh/id_ed25519_dev.pub commit
- NO Co-Authored-By trailers, conventional commits
- Push: GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -i /home/c/.ssh/id_ed25519_dev -o IdentitiesOnly=yes' git push origin main
- Run tests if the project has them
- Report: what you did, what changed, any blockers
STATUS: DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | NEEDS_CONTEXT | BLOCKED",
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
isolation: "worktree" # Only for L/XL tasks; S/M tasks run directly
isolation: "worktree" # Only for L/XL tasks; S/M run directly
)
```
**CRITICAL: Spawn all batch agents in a SINGLE message.** This enables parallel execution.
Do not spawn them sequentially.
### Step 3: Mark Running
After spawning, update the queue:
Update the queue after spawning:
```bash
# For each spawned task
./scripts/ws start <task-id> # or manually update queue.json status to "running"
```
If `./scripts/ws start` doesn't exist, update queue.json directly:
```python
task["status"] = "running"
# Write back to docs/orchestra/queue.json
./scripts/ws start <task-id> # or update queue.json status to "running" directly
```
### Step 4: Collect Results
As agents complete, process their results:
Parse status token from agent output. Based on status:
- `DONE` -- mark completed, note result
- `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` -- mark completed, log concerns for user review
- `NEEDS_CONTEXT` -- mark pending, add concern to notes, skip for now
- `BLOCKED` -- mark failed, add blocker to notes
1. **Parse status token** from agent output (last line: `STATUS: DONE|...`)
2. **Based on status**:
- `DONE` → mark completed, note result
- `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` → mark completed, log concerns for user review
- `NEEDS_CONTEXT` → mark pending, add concern to notes, skip for now
- `BLOCKED` → mark failed, add blocker to notes
3. **Update queue**:
```bash
./scripts/ws done <task-id> -r "<summary of what was done>"
# or
./scripts/ws fail <task-id> -r "<reason>"
```
Update: `./scripts/ws done <task-id> -r "<summary>"` or `./scripts/ws fail <task-id> -r "<reason>"`
### Step 5: Report and Loop
After batch completes, show sprint status:
Show batch status, then **immediately select next batch** (no user prompt in AUTONOM mode):
```
── Sprint Batch 1 ──────────────────────────────
writing.colette fanout run done (45s)
book.3sets validation done (30s)
book.sos meta-book concept needs_context (missing outline)
tool.archeflow af-review mode done (60s)
-- Sprint Batch 1 --------------------------------------------------
+ writing.colette fanout run done (45s)
+ book.3sets validation done (30s)
! book.sos meta-book concept needs_context
+ tool.archeflow af-review mode done (60s)
Queue: 3 completed, 1 blocked, 3 remaining
Next batch: 2 items ready
────────────────────────────────────────────────
--------------------------------------------------------------------
```
Then **immediately select and dispatch the next batch** (Step 1). Don't wait for user input in AUTONOM mode.
### Step 6: Sprint Complete
When no more tasks are schedulable (all done, blocked, or P3-only):
When no more tasks are schedulable:
1. Update `docs/control-center.md` Handoff section
2. Run `./scripts/ws log --summary "<sprint summary>"` if available
3. Show final sprint report:
```
── Sprint Complete ─────────────────────────────
Duration: 12 min
Tasks: 5 completed, 1 blocked, 1 remaining (P3)
Projects touched: 4
Commits: 7
────────────────────────────────────────────────
```
2. Run `./scripts/ws log --summary "<sprint summary>"`
3. Show final report with duration, tasks completed/blocked/remaining, projects touched, commits

## Mode Behavior
### AUTONOM
- Dispatch immediately, no user confirmation
- Commit + push after each agent completes
- Only pause for BLOCKED tasks or budget exhaustion
- Report between batches (one-line status)
### ATTENDED
- Show the selected batch before dispatching
- Wait for user to approve: "Proceed with this batch? [y/n]"
- After each batch, show results and ask: "Continue to next batch? [y/n/edit]"
- "edit" lets the user reprioritize before next batch
### PAUSED
- Show queue status only
- Do not dispatch any agents
- Useful for reviewing state between sessions

## When to Use ArcheFlow Orchestration Within Sprint
Most sprint tasks should be **direct agent dispatch** (no PDCA/pipeline overhead).
Only escalate to full orchestration when:
| Signal | Action |
|--------|--------|
| Task is S/M, clear scope, single project | Direct dispatch |
| Task is L/XL | Use pipeline or PDCA strategy |
| Task mentions "security", "auth", "encryption" | Add Guardian review |
| Task is a review/audit | Spawn reviewers only (af-review mode) |
| Task failed in a previous sprint | Escalate to PDCA with Explorer |
The sprint runner's job is **throughput**, not perfection. Ship fast, fix forward.

## Integration with Existing Tools
| Tool | How sprint uses it |
|------|-------------------|
| `./scripts/ws next` | Get next schedulable task |
| `./scripts/ws done <id>` | Mark task completed |
| `./scripts/ws fail <id>` | Mark task failed |
| `./scripts/ws orient` | Initial workspace overview |
| `./scripts/ws validate` | Pre-flight queue validation |
| `git` per project | Commit + push after each agent |
| `archeflow:run` | Only for L/XL tasks needing PDCA |
---
| Mode | Dispatch | Between batches | Stops for |
|------|----------|----------------|-----------|
| **AUTONOM** | Immediate | One-line status, no pause | BLOCKED or budget exhaustion |
| **ATTENDED** | Show batch, wait for approval | Show results, ask "Continue? [y/n/edit]" | User decision |
| **PAUSED** | No dispatch | -- | Always (status display only) |
## Error Recovery
- **Agent crashes mid-task**: Mark task as `failed`, add error to notes, continue with next batch
- **Git push fails**: Log the error, do NOT retry. User will handle push conflicts manually.
- **Queue file corrupted**: Run `./scripts/ws validate`. If invalid, stop sprint and report.
- **Budget exceeded**: Stop sprint, report remaining tasks and estimated cost.
- **All tasks blocked**: Report dependency graph, suggest which blockers to resolve first.
