Christian Nennemann 5139f1ad89 feat: Ralph Loop integration — mini-reflect, alternatives, structured confidence
- Mini-Reflect for fast workflow: Creator must restate task, list assumptions,
  name highest-damage risk before proposing (catches misunderstandings early)
- Alternatives Considered section: Creator must evaluate 2+ approaches with
  rejection rationale before committing to one (prevents tunnel vision)
- Structured confidence scoring: 3-axis table (task understanding, solution
  completeness, risk coverage) replaces bare 0.0-1.0 number. Low scores
  trigger targeted action (clarify, upgrade workflow, or research)
- Mini-Reflect fallback for skipped tasks: quick reflection even when
  ArcheFlow doesn't activate (non-trivial single-file changes)

using-archeflow Use at session start when implementing features, reviewing code, debugging, or any task that benefits from multiple perspectives. Activates ArcheFlow multi-agent orchestration.

ArcheFlow — Active

Multi-agent orchestration using archetypal roles and PDCA quality cycles.

IMPORTANT: When to Activate

You MUST use ArcheFlow orchestration (load archeflow:orchestration skill and follow its steps) for any task that matches:

  • New features — any feature touching 2+ files
  • Refactoring — structural changes across modules
  • Security-sensitive changes — auth, encryption, input handling, API keys
  • Bug fixes with unclear root cause — use Explorer to investigate first
  • Code review requests — spawn Guardian + relevant reviewers
  • Multi-file changes — anything beyond a single-file edit

Choose the workflow based on risk:

Signal Workflow Command
Small fix, low risk, single concern fast Creator → Maker → Guardian
Feature, multiple files, moderate risk standard Explorer + Creator → Maker → Guardian + Skeptic + Sage
Security-sensitive, breaking changes, public API thorough Explorer + Creator → Maker → All 4 reviewers

When to Skip ArcheFlow

Do NOT use ArcheFlow for these — just do them directly:

  • Single-line fixes, typos, formatting
  • Answering questions (no code changes)
  • Reading/exploring code without making changes
  • Config changes to a single file
  • Git operations (commit, push, branch)

Mini-Reflect fallback: Even when skipping ArcheFlow, apply a quick reflection for non-trivial single-file changes: (1) restate what you're changing, (2) name one assumption, (3) check if it could break anything. This takes ~10 seconds and catches misunderstandings before they become commits.

Archetypes

Archetype Avatar Virtue Shadow Phase
Explorer 🔍 Contextual Clarity Rabbit Hole Plan
Creator 🏗️ Decisive Framing Over-Architect Plan
Maker ⚒️ Execution Discipline Rogue Do
Guardian 🛡️ Threat Intuition Paranoid Check
Skeptic 🤔 Assumption Surfacing Paralytic Check
Trickster 🃏 Adversarial Creativity False Alarm Check
Sage 📚 Maintainability Judgment Bureaucrat Check

PDCA Cycle

Plan  → Explorer researches, Creator proposes
Do    → Maker implements in isolated worktree
Check → Reviewers assess in parallel (approve/reject)
Act   → All approved? Merge. Issues? Cycle back to Plan.

Quick Start

When the user gives an implementation task:

  1. Assess: does this need ArcheFlow? (see criteria above)
  2. If yes: load archeflow:orchestration skill
  3. Pick workflow (fast/standard/thorough)
  4. Execute the PDCA steps from the orchestration skill
