ArcheFlow — Status Log

2026-04-04: Triple Release Sprint (v0.4 → v0.6)

What happened

Three ArcheFlow PDCA cycles in one session, each using ArcheFlow's own orchestration to develop itself (dogfooding). Each cycle: Explorer→Creator→Maker→Guardian+Skeptic+Sage→fixes→merge→push.

v0.4.0 — Gap Fixes (8 commits, 541 lines, 15 files)

• Unified feedback routing tables across 3 skills (canonical 8-row version)
• Confidence gate with concrete bash parsing, 3 branches (pause/upgrade/mini-Explorer)
• archeflow-rollback.sh — post-merge auto-revert with --mainline 1
• Test-first validation gate in Do phase (word-boundary patterns)
• Memory injection audit trail (--audit flag, audit-check command)
• Review fixes: safe jq --arg, confidence fallback→0.0, pattern hardening

v0.5.0 — Infrastructure (8 commits, 483 lines, 12 files)

• Lib script validation at run initialization (0a)
• Hook points documentation (docs/hooks.md + config template with 6 events)
• Phase rollback via --to <phase> in rollback script
• Per-workflow model assignment configuration
• Cross-run finding regression detection
• Check-phase fleshed out with parallel reviewer spawning protocol
• Review fixes: mutual exclusivity guard, jq --arg everywhere, table-row grep

v0.6.0 — Quality Polish (5 commits, 253 lines, 13 files)

• Attention-filters expanded from 39-line stub to full skill (prompt templates, token budgets, cycle-back rules, verification checklist)
• Explorer skip heuristic in plan-phase skill
• Agent persona normalization (4 agents: examples, model comments, isolation note)
• Runnable quickstart example (examples/runnable-quickstart.md)
• CHANGELOG completed with missing v0.4.0 entry + roadmap version history

v0.7.0 — Superpowers-Inspired + Strategy Abstraction (8 commits, 485 lines, 20 files)

• Context isolation protocol (attention-filters + all 7 agents)
• Structured status tokens: DONE/DONE_WITH_CONCERNS/NEEDS_CONTEXT/BLOCKED
• Evidence-gated verification: banned phrases, evidence markers, downgrade-to-INFO
• Plan granularity constraint: 2-5 min tasks with file:line + code block + verify
• Strategy abstraction: pdca (cyclic) vs pipeline (linear) vs auto (selected by task)
• README: experimental status + interdisciplinary framing (psychology + process eng + software eng)
• Review fixes: fast→pipeline auto-select, merge guard, evidence check completeness

Key numbers

Metric	v0.3 → v0.7 delta
Commits this session	29
Lines added	~1,762
Files touched	30+
Lib scripts	8 → 9 (archeflow-rollback.sh)
Skills	24 (all fleshed out, no stubs remain)
Review cycles	4 (v0.4: full, v0.5: full, v0.6: fast, v0.7: Guardian-only)
Review findings fixed	15

What to do next

1. End-to-end dogfood — run af-run on a real task (not ArcheFlow itself) to test both strategies
2. Hook execution runtime — config documents 6 hook events but no runner yet
3. Pipeline strategy testing — exercise the --strategy pipeline path on a bug fix
4. Publish — tag v0.7.0, consider claude.com/plugins marketplace listing
5. GitHub Action — automated PR review (roadmap item, low effort)

2026-04-03: Major Feature Sprint (v0.1 → v0.3)

What happened

Single-session sprint that took ArcheFlow from 9 skills + 2 scripts to 24 skills + 8 scripts. Driven by dogfooding: we wrote a short story ("Der Huster", Giesing Gschichten) using ArcheFlow to orchestrate the creative writing process, and every gap we hit became a feature.

Commits (chronological)

1753e69 feat: process logging with DAG-based event sourcing
b6df3d1 feat: automated PDCA loop, domain adapters, cost tracking, DAG renderer
19f8f76 feat: memory, convergence, colette bridge, templates, progress, effectiveness, git integration
6bd2c93 feat: archeflow-init.sh template gallery script
ef995fd feat: archeflow-git.sh for per-phase commits and rollback
ee5dfa7 feat: multi-project orchestration with dependency DAG and shared budget
9faea1d feat: progress and effectiveness scoring scripts
9e22ff5 docs: rewrite README, CHANGELOG, skill index, roadmap
9bf64fc fix: input validation for event emitter + test report (42/42 pass)

What's production-ready

• All 8 lib scripts pass validation (42/42 tests, see docs/test-report-2026-04-03.md)
• README fully rewritten with all 24 skills documented
• CHANGELOG covers v0.1 → v0.3
• Plugin manifest updated to v0.3.0
• Event emitter has input validation (JSON + parent format)

New features by category

Core Orchestration:

• archeflow:run — single-command PDCA with --start-from, --dry-run
• archeflow:act-phase — structured review→fix pipeline
• archeflow:artifact-routing — inter-phase artifact protocol

Process Intelligence:

• archeflow:process-log — event-sourced JSONL with DAG parents
• archeflow:memory — cross-run learning from recurring findings
• archeflow:effectiveness — per-archetype signal-to-noise scoring
• archeflow:progress — live progress.md during runs
• archeflow:convergence — oscillation detection + early termination

Integration:

• archeflow:colette-bridge — auto-inject voice profiles, personas, characters
• archeflow:git-integration — branch-per-run, commit-per-phase, rollback
• archeflow:multi-project — cross-repo orchestration with dependency DAG

Configuration:

• archeflow:domains — writing/code/research domain adapters
• archeflow:cost-tracking — budget enforcement + model tier recommendations
• archeflow:templates — workflow gallery with init/save/share

Dogfood project: Giesing Gschichten

• Voice profile, persona, series config in Colette
• First story "Der Huster" (~6000 words) — full PDCA cycle
• All process artifacts: research, outline, reviews, event log, process report
• In book.giesing-gschichten/ (parent repo) + writing.colette/ (Colette repo)

Done (late session)

• Global hook — .claude/settings.json with SessionStart hook, CLAUDE.md updated with ArcheFlow section
• Template bundles — 4 bundles shipped: writing-short-story, backend-feature, security-review, quick-fix (22 files, +936 lines)
• Multi-project examples — giesing + fullstack examples + examples/README.md
• Default config — .archeflow/config.yaml with all documented options
• Production hardening — 42/42 script tests pass, input validation on event emitter

What to do next

1. Write story #2 with live event logging (true dogfood of archeflow:run + archeflow:progress)
2. Colette integration test — test colette-bridge with actual colette write commands
3. Multi-project run — test cross-repo orchestration using examples/multi-project-giesing.yaml
4. Publish — consider making the repo public for others to use
5. MCP server — ArcheFlow as MCP tool for Cursor/Windsurf (future)
