feat: add codebase context generation prompt with evidence-based analysis #15
Conversation
Remove redundant title field from the generate-spec prompt frontmatter as the name field is sufficient for identification. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Remove the title field from all prompt frontmatter files and the MarkdownPrompt parser to fix Claude Code slash command parsing issues. The title field with spaces was causing slash commands to break at the first space character. Changes: - Remove title field from MarkdownPrompt dataclass - Remove title handling in decorator_kwargs() method - Remove title extraction in load_markdown_prompt() - Remove title field from all three prompt files - Add quotes to description fields for consistency - Fix indentation in manage-tasks.md meta section 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Update test fixtures to remove the title field from prompt frontmatter, matching the changes made to the actual prompt files and parser. Also fix indentation for allowed-tools in manage-tasks test fixture. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Adds comprehensive prompt for analyzing codebase architecture before feature development - Includes conversational flow with clarifying questions - Covers tech stack, database, API, frontend, testing, and deployment patterns - Generates detailed analysis document to inform spec-driven development - Integrates with existing generate-spec workflow
- Renames prompt to better reflect its purpose of generating context - Updates name in YAML frontmatter - Updates description to match new name - All functionality remains the same
- Add Claude Code feature-dev plugin comparison analysis - Document code-analyst and information-analyst patterns from research - Add context_bootstrap orchestration pattern - Create research synthesis with actionable recommendations - Identify gaps: mandatory clarifying phase, architecture options, quality review - Recommend evidence citation standards and confidence assessments - Document phased interactive questioning approach
…onfidence levels - Add evidence citation standards (file:line for code, path#heading for docs) - Add confidence assessment (High/Medium/Low) for all findings - Separate WHAT/HOW (from code) vs WHY (from docs/user) - Add documentation audit phase with rationale extraction - Add gap identification and user collaboration phase - Include execution path tracing with step-by-step flows - Add essential files list (5-10 files with line ranges) - Change to interactive short questions (not batch questionnaires) - Flag dormant code, feature toggles, conflicts explicitly - Add comprehensive example output structure - Add final checklist for quality assurance

- Summarize all 5 research documents - Explain how research was applied to Phase 1 - Document key insights and success metrics - Provide clear references and next steps
- Emphasize that generate-codebase-context is NEW (not just enhanced) - Detail all new files and research documents added - Explain why this prompt was needed - Clarify impact on workflow (optional but recommended) - Provide clear usage instructions and review focus areas
- Updated summary to highlight this creates a NEW prompt - Added 'What's New' section explaining the gap being filled - Clarified that before this PR there was no systematic codebase analysis - Ensures PR description accurately reflects scope (creation not just enhancement) Addresses user feedback about PR description focusing on enhancement while skipping the fact that the prompt was also created.
- Move research from reverse-engineer-prompts/ to codebase-context/ - Move PROGRESS.md to docs/roadmap/ directory - Remove PR_DESCRIPTION.md (content moved elsewhere) - Add WARP.md (session notes) This reorganization better reflects the scope and purpose: - 'codebase-context' aligns with the prompt name - 'roadmap' is clearer for tracking implementation progress

docs/research/codebase-context/claude-code-feature-dev-comparison.md (1)
625-720: Align implementation roadmap with PROGRESS.md Phase 2 planning.This section outlines Sprints 1-3 with specific tasks, but the file docs/roadmap/PROGRESS.md (also in this PR) provides more detailed planning for the same phases. There's some overlap but the emphasis differs:
- Here (lines 722-738): "Sprint 1" focuses on critical gaps with timeline "Week 1"
- In PROGRESS.md: Same sprint has more granular effort estimates and acceptance criteria
Recommendation: Cross-reference these documents or consolidate the roadmap into PROGRESS.md as the single source of truth. Either reference PROGRESS.md from this document or ensure both documents stay in sync.
Add a note like:
See [docs/roadmap/PROGRESS.md](../../roadmap/PROGRESS.md) for detailed Phase 2 planning, effort estimates, and acceptance criteria.docs/research/codebase-context/code-analyst.md (2)
177-231: Good vs. Bad output examples are well-conceived; clarify what "good" means.The examples at lines 177-231 effectively illustrate the difference between focused, evidence-based analysis and bloated, opinionated analysis. However, the transition between them could be clearer:
Current:
- "Good Analysis" section is titled but lacks an explicit statement of what makes it good
- "Bad Analysis" section is titled but lacks an explicit statement of why it's problematic
Suggestion: Add one-sentence summaries to each section:
**Good Analysis** (focuses on what exists and works): [Demonstrates: specific evidence, confidence marking, working features only] ... **Bad Analysis** (includes opinions, versions, infrastructure details): [Problems: includes code quality judgments, specific versions, missing features, internal models] ...
275-280: Clarify the "subprocess" and "manager" relationship.Line 277 states "You are running in a subprocess to do deep code analysis without overwhelming the main context." This implies orchestration by a higher-level process (the "manager" mentioned in context_bootstrap.md), but this file doesn't explain that relationship clearly.
For someone reading this in isolation: The relationship to manager/Information Analyst/context_bootstrap pattern is not obvious. Consider adding a one-line forward reference at the start of the file:
# Code Analyst You are a specialized code analysis agent, part of the context_bootstrap pattern (see [context_bootstrap.md](./context_bootstrap.md) for orchestration details). ...docs/roadmap/PROGRESS.md (1)
599-607: Key Decisions section provides good traceability; make decision sources explicit.Lines 570-596 document 5 key decisions with rationale and sources. This is excellent for understanding why choices were made. However, the source citations are brief. For example:
- Decision 1 references "code-analyst.md + information-analyst.md patterns"
- Decision 4 references "context_bootstrap.md + Claude Code Phase 3 pattern"
Suggestion: Add brief inline citations showing where in the source documents these patterns are described:
### Decision 1: Evidence Citations **Decision:** Require file:line for code, path#heading for docs, dated quotes for users **Rationale:** Provides traceability and accountability for all findings **Source:** code-analyst.md (lines 267-273, Key Principles), information-analyst.md (lines 151-159, Key Principles)This makes it easier for reviewers to verify the source and understand the context.
prompts/generate-codebase-context.md (1)
88-137: Phase 1 user questions are clear, but consider adding a note about question scope.Lines 116-135 provide three initial questions for the user. These are well-crafted and appropriately scoped. However, the instruction "Short - 3 questions max" at line 116 could be reinforced more clearly:
Current state: The note is present but brief
Suggestion: Add context explaining why short questions matter:
#### Questions for User (Short - 3 questions max) **Important:** Keep questions brief and focused. Extended questionnaires reduce engagement and response quality. You'll ask follow-up questions in Phase 5 based on these answers. 1. **Scope:** Should I analyze...This reinforces a key design principle from the research: "Interactive not batch" (from PROGRESS.md line 87).
docs/research/codebase-context/research-synthesis.md (1)
210-267: Restructuring recommendation for generate-codebase-context is excellent; add migration note.Lines 210-267 provide a detailed recommendation to split generate-codebase-context into 7 focused phases. This is well-reasoned and clearly explained. However, this represents a significant restructuring of an existing prompt.
Consider adding:
- A note about backward compatibility (can old analyses still be referenced?)
- A migration guide for users who have existing codebase context documents
- A deprecation note if the old structure is being retired
Example:
### Migration Impact This restructuring will change the output format and process. Users with existing codebase context documents should: - Still valid: All file:line citations remain accurate - May need updating: If they reference specific sections, page numbers may shift - Recommended: Regenerate context analyses using the new prompt format for consistency

1-330: Excellent documentation structure and comprehensive research synthesis.This README effectively consolidates the research patterns, six-phase workflow, and key principles for codebase context generation. The document provides clear:
- Research sources with word counts and key findings
- Applied patterns from code-analyst, information-analyst, and context_bootstrap
- Success metrics for Phase 1 (completed) and Phase 2 (planned)
- Evidence-based analysis principles with proper citation standards
- Integration guidance for future enhancements

1-284: Excellent role definition with clear separation of concerns.This document effectively defines the Information Analyst persona with:
- Clear responsibilities focused on extracting WHY from documentation
- Comprehensive output format with evidence citations
- Proper integration with the Code Analyst role (WHAT/HOW vs WHY)
- Strong emphasis on source attribution and confidence levels
- Practical analysis approaches for text and visual documents
The structure supports the six-phase workflow and evidence-based analysis principles described in the broader research.

- Core principles emphasizing interactive dialogue and evidence-based analysis
- Repository layout awareness for multi-service, monorepo, and single-application patterns
- Six-phase workflow with clear user collaboration checkpoints
- Subagent orchestration model coordinating Code Analyst and Information Analyst
The specification aligns well with the research patterns and provides actionable guidance for implementation.

136-156: Phase 1 completion checklist is incomplete—mark items that are actually done.Lines 149-154 list a checklist for merge criteria:
- [x] All commits clean and documented - [x] Enhanced prompt tested - [x] Research findings documented - [ ] PR review approved - [ ] Tests passing (if applicable)The file states "Phase 1 Complete ✅" (line 19), but the merge criteria checklist has unchecked items. This creates ambiguity: Is Phase 1 truly complete, or are there pending items?
Clarification needed:
- If PR review hasn't happened yet, is Phase 1 truly "complete"?
- Should this checklist reflect the goal state (what must be done before merge) or the current state?
Recommendation: Clarify whether "Phase 1 Complete" means "code is ready for review" or "all criteria including review approval are met."

prompts/directory (generate-codebase-context.md,generate-spec.md,generate-task-list-from-spec.md,manage-tasks.md) follow the identical frontmatter structure withname,description,tags,arguments, andmetakeys. The nested structure is uniform: all havecategoryandallowed-toolsfields undermeta, with identicalallowed-toolsvalues. Contextual variations (different tag lists and category names) are intentional and appropriate. The prompt loader can reliably parse these files.

1-50: Phase 1 completion details are well-documented and actionable.The progress tracking clearly articulates completed work, research synthesis, evidence standards, and success metrics. The organization is clear and references are specific.
179-320: Phase 2 roadmap is comprehensive but dependencies should be explicit.Phase 2 outlines three critical prompts (enhance-spec, generate-architecture-options, review-implementation) with specific estimated effort and deliverables. The roadmap is clear and actionable. However, ensure that:
- The Phase 2 branch/PR explicitly depends on Phase 1 merge completion
- Cross-file coordination between generate-spec enhancements and generate-codebase-context is tested before merge
prompts/generate-codebase-context.md (3)
28-48: Evidence citation standards are well-structured and comprehensive.The evidence standards clearly specify format for code (path:line-range), documentation (path#heading), and user input ([User confirmed: date]). This establishes a strong foundation for traceability throughout the analysis process.
50-80: Confidence assessment system provides clear criteria and actionable guidance.The High/Medium/Low confidence framework with specific criteria (explicit documentation, inferred, or unknown) is well-defined and provides clear guidance for when to flag items for validation.
441-887: Comprehensive example output demonstrates implementation of evidence standards.The extensive 13-section example (from line 441 onward) effectively demonstrates the evidence standards, confidence levels, execution traces, and essential files list in context. This provides clear guidance for implementation.
docs/research/codebase-context/information-analyst.md (2)
22-30: Word repetition in "What/Why/How" questions is acceptable given the role's purpose.LanguageTool flagged successive sentences beginning with "What" or "Why" (lines 22-30, 40-48, 78-85). However, this repetition is intentional and appropriate: the Information Analyst role is specifically about discovering rationale by asking "Why" questions, and the framework naturally uses "What" and "How" to structure different categories of analysis.
The repetition reinforces the role's focus and is contextually justified. No change needed.
Also applies to: 40-48, 78-85
131-238: Output format clearly specifies structured, evidence-based reporting.The Information Analysis Summary template (lines 131-238) effectively structures findings around documentation inventory, system context, decision rationale, intended architecture, historical context, conflicts, confidence levels, and questions. The format aligns well with the complementary Code Analyst role for comprehensive separation of concerns.
docs/research/codebase-context/research-synthesis.md (3)
1-34: Research synthesis effectively integrates multiple sources into cohesive framework.The document successfully synthesizes Code feature-dev analysis, code-analyst.md, information-analyst.md, and context_bootstrap.md into a unified framework with clear separation of concerns (Code Analyst for WHAT/HOW, Information Analyst for WHY, Manager for orchestration).
199-210: Comparison table clearly articulates gaps between current and best-practice approaches.The matrix comparing current approach vs. research patterns effectively visualizes the gaps in evidence citations, confidence levels, documentation audit, rationale extraction, user collaboration style, and output artifacts. This provides strong justification for the recommended enhancements.
509-521: Integration priority matrix aligns recommendations with feasible sprint-based timeline.The prioritization of high-impact, low-effort changes (Sprint 1: evidence citations, confidence assessment) before medium/lower-priority work (Sprint 2-3) demonstrates pragmatic project planning. This sequencing allows incremental adoption and testing.

21-29: AI Behavior Guidelines are well-aligned with evidence-based workflow.The new guidelines section emphasizes practical principles (ask don't assume, reference context, evidence-based suggestions) that align well with the PR's focus on structured analysis and confidence levels. These guidelines provide clear direction for AI assistants using this prompt.
32-42: Clear optional/mandatory phase distinction improves usability.Marking Phase 1 as optional while making Phase 2 mandatory provides good flexibility for workflows with or without prior codebase analysis, while ensuring critical clarifying questions are always asked. The conditional guidance ("If codebase-context document exists") is appropriately scoped.
120-131: Technical Feasibility Assessment with confidence levels strengthens spec rigor.The addition of confidence levels (🟢 High / 🟡 Medium / 🔴 Low) and evidence citations for feasibility assessment directly implements the research-driven approach documented in the PR. This section provides junior developers with both requirements and the rationale for technical risk assessment.
151-162: Structured spec header format with metadata improves traceability.The new header template includes creation date, author, and codebase context reference, which supports the evidence-based workflow and enables tracking of dependency relationships across specifications and codebase analysis documents.
Implements comprehensive improvements based on expert feedback to elevate the prompt from production-ready to methodology-grade. Key enhancements: 1. AI Behavior Guidelines (New Section) - Explicit execution rules for consistency - Evidence-first synthesis approach - Clear confidence assessment standards 2. Tool-Phase Mapping (New Section) - Explicit tool usage guidance for each phase - Prevents tool misuse and enforces consistency - Supports automated and multi-agent execution 3. Repository Scoping Controls (New in Phase 1) - Automatic size detection (>5000 files, >100MB) - Guided scoping options for large codebases - Prevents runaway analysis in monorepos 4. Enhanced Confidence Criteria (Updated) - Automation examples (Grep/Glob reference counts) - Automatic confidence rules (≥3 refs = Medium+) - Clear distinction between auto and manual verification 5. Phase 3.5: Pattern Recognition (NEW PHASE) - Bridges raw analysis with architectural philosophy - Detects design patterns (Repository, CQRS, Factory, etc.) - Identifies anti-patterns (cyclic deps, God objects) - Synthesizes architectural philosophy from evidence 6. Crosscutting Concerns Section (New in Phase 4) - Logging & observability analysis - Error handling & resilience patterns - Configuration & secrets management - Security practices (auth, validation, CORS) - Performance & caching strategies - Testing approach assessment 7. Gap Prioritization (Enhanced Phase 5) - Priority levels: 🟥 Critical, 🟧 Important, 🟨 Minor - Automatic prioritization rules - Actionable gap assessment for spec development 8. Version Control Context (New in Output) - Commit activity and contributor patterns - Code maturity signals (high-churn vs stable files) - Ownership patterns (domain experts) - Architectural evolution timeline - Technical debt indicators 9. Executive Summary Mode (Optional Output) - 2-page quick read option - High-level strengths and attention areas - Recommended next steps Impact: - Transforms prompt from workflow guide to systematic methodology - Enables reproducible, evidence-based analysis - Supports academic-level research and audits - Provides actionable insights for architectural decisions Grade improvement: A+ → Methodology Standard Ref: Expert feedback review, Phase 1 research integration
Restores and enhances the guidance from original 'Final instructions' section that was integrated during restructuring. New section explicitly lists 8 forbidden actions: 1. Do NOT implement the spec (workflow creates specs only) 2. Do NOT skip clarifying questions (Phase 2 is mandatory) 3. Do NOT make technical decisions without evidence 4. Do NOT write specs in isolation (check context first) 5. Do NOT proceed without user validation (respect STOP points) 6. Do NOT include implementation details (focus on WHAT/WHY) 7. Do NOT assume requirements (ask when unclear) 8. Do NOT continue after spec approved (workflow ends) This makes boundaries crystal clear and prevents common errors where AI agents might: - Jump straight to implementation - Skip clarifying questions when prompt seems clear - Make technology choices without checking existing patterns - Batch all questions instead of iterative dialog - Continue past approval into task breakdown Addresses user feedback about missing 'do not do' clarity.

35-54: ✅ Execution rules now properly include Phase 4 and Phase 5.5.Both previously flagged checkpoints are now integrated:
- Phase 4 (line 39) in the step sequence
- Phase 5.5 (line 41) with conditional auto-continue logic (line 49)
- Auto-continue rules updated to reflect both phases
This resolves the structural gaps identified in prior CodeRabbit reviews.
1045-1650: Document structure is comprehensive and well-organized.The 6-phase workflow with detailed templates, confidence frameworks, execution checkpoints, and example outputs provides strong scaffolding for evidence-based codebase analysis. The integration of Phase 5.5 (autonomous answers) and Phase 4 (integration points) with clear STOP/WAIT enforcement ensures disciplined, interactive analysis.
Key strengths:
- ✅ Explicit evidence citation standards (file:line, doc#heading, user confirmations)
- ✅ Confidence levels (🟢/🟡/🔴) with clear criteria
- ✅ Phase-specific tool guidance
- ✅ Detailed phase descriptions with examples
- ✅ Auto-continue rules prevent skipped checkpoints
- ✅ Appendices for autonomous answers and assumptions

19-29: Well-structured additions to guide AI behavior.The new "Core Principle" and "AI Behavior Guidelines" sections clearly establish expectations for clarifying questions, evidence-based suggestions, and codebase context integration. This aligns well with the research synthesis goals and improves the prompt's usability.
32-103: Phase structure and examples are clear and actionable.The reorganized phases with explicit STOP checkpoints, clarifying question examples, and the expanded spec structure (including "Architectural Alignment", "Technical Feasibility Assessment", and "Demoable Units of Work") provide concrete, junior-developer-friendly guidance. The evidence-based approach to technical suggestions is a strong addition.
175-227: Critical Rules and What NOT to Do sections provide essential safeguards.Explicitly forbidding implementation, enforcing Phase 2 clarity, requiring evidence-based suggestions, and mandating user validation at checkpoints align well with the workflow's intent to separate spec generation from implementation. The numbered rules and explicit "❌ Do NOT" format make violations unambiguous.
docs/research/codebase-context/research-synthesis.md (13)
19-22: Clear separation of concerns principle.The core philosophy—"Code explains HOW; user supplies WHAT and WHY"—is well articulated and the block quote format makes it stand out effectively. This principle is well-threaded throughout the rest of the document.
50-73: Code Analyst and Information Analyst personas are well-defined with actionable output formats.Clear responsibilities, key principles, and what NOT to include make these personas concrete and reusable. The output format templates (markdown structure shown for both) provide excellent scaffolding for prompt implementation. The distinction between code-discoverable facts (WHAT/HOW) and documentation-discoverable rationale (WHY) is consistently maintained.
Also applies to: 107-157
172-195: Manager orchestration pattern is well-structured and actionable.The six-phase workflow (repository structure → documentation audit → code analysis → information analysis → gap identification → user collaboration → generate artifact) provides a logical progression. The emphasis on keeping dialog interactive and asking focused follow-up questions rather than batch questionnaires is a strong principle that improves engagement.
199-209: Comparison table clearly shows gaps between current and research best practices.The side-by-side mapping of current approach vs. research patterns makes the case for each enhancement transparent. This helps justify the prioritization matrix that follows.
215-277: Phased restructuring ofgenerate-contextis comprehensive and well-motivated.The seven-phase breakdown (repo structure → documentation audit → code analysis → information analysis → gap identification → user collaboration → document generation) addresses the "monolithic prompt" problem and aligns with the two-agent pattern. Specific deliverables per phase (e.g., "Structure summary with component list", "Code analysis summary with evidence") make success criteria concrete. The callout about evidence formatting (file:line, doc#heading) and Essential Files/Execution Path Traces is particularly useful.
290-347: Evidence citation standards and confidence assessment templates are ready for immediate use.Both sections provide copy-paste-ready markdown blocks that can be directly embedded into prompts. The examples (e.g., "Authentication uses JWT tokens (src/auth/AuthService.ts:23)") are concrete and instructive. The three-tier confidence model (High/Medium/Low) with clear criteria for each level removes ambiguity.
351-386: WHY-focused questions for spec generation address strategic gaps.Adding Purpose & Value, Strategic Fit, Success Criteria, and Constraints & Context phases before functional requirements ensures intent is captured upfront. The note to "Capture answers as direct quotes for later reference" ties into the evidence standards well.
390-459: ADR template (MADR-aligned) provides excellent structural guidance.The template includes essential fields (Status, Decision Makers, Context Source, Decision Drivers, Considered Options, Decision Outcome, Consequences, Confirmation, Pros/Cons). The recommendation to source it from a codebase context or feature spec grounds it in prior work.
463-499: Phased questioning approach improves user engagement.Breaking clarifying questions into three phases (Core Requirements → Context & Constraints → Refinement) with mandatory stops between phases is more practical than batch questionnaires. The rationale ("Shorter conversations get better engagement") is well-articulated.
518-530: Integration priority matrix provides clear roadmap guidance.Categorizing changes by impact, effort, priority, and timeline helps stakeholders understand sequencing. Placing evidence/confidence as P0 (Sprint 1) and deferring multi-agent specialization to P2 shows pragmatic prioritization.
533-600: Specific prompt enhancement checklist is actionable and well-sourced.For each prompt (
generate-context,generate-spec, new prompts), the "Add from [source]" sections clearly trace recommendations back to the research artifacts (code-analyst.md, information-analyst.md, context_bootstrap.md). The checkmarks indicate these are ready to be actioned.
603-640: Five key principles provide solid foundation for prompt evolution.Separation of Concerns, Evidence-Based, Confidence Assessment, Interactive Collaboration, and Actionable Outputs are well-grounded in the research and consistent throughout the document. These principles could serve as a style guide for future prompt development.
643-705: Sprint roadmap and success metrics balance ambition with measurability.Three-sprint structure with specific deliverables (Sprint 1: evidence citations + confidence; Sprint 2: interactive collaboration + WHY questions; Sprint 3: architecture + review phases) is realistic and well-staged. Quantitative success metrics (100% file:line evidence, <5 batch questions per phase) are testable and concrete.
…h docs - Remove research documentation files (docs/research/, docs/001-SYSTEM.md, .markdownlintrc) - Enhance Repository Standards section in Step 3 to include: - Explicit mention of test frameworks and coverage requirements - Build and deployment processes - Code quality gates (linting, formatting, pre-commit hooks) - Align generate-spec.md with recently refactored prompts structure This change ensures the generate-spec prompt provides more comprehensive guidance for identifying repository patterns and standards, matching the level of detail in other workflow prompts. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

26-47: [DUPLICATE] Resolve inconsistent step numbering between TLDR and detailed workflow sections.The TLDR section numbers the optional
/generate-contextstep sequentially (2, 3, 4, 5) within the main flow, but the "Manual Copy-Paste" and "Workflow Essentials" sections use 0-indexing to designate it as a preliminary setup step (0, 1, 2, 3). This creates ambiguity about whether the optional step is part of the core numbered workflow or a separate preliminary phase.Recommended fix: Align the TLDR to match the 0-indexing convention:
- Make
/generate-contextstep 0 (optional)- Renumber the existing steps to 1, 2, 3, 4
- Update step numbering references in the workflow description to ensure consistency
This matches the pattern documented in the detailed workflow sections and clarifies that

32-32: Clarify artifact naming pattern in TLDR to match detailed section guidance.The TLDR section shows only concrete examples (
001-SYSTEM.md,002-SYSTEM.md), while the detailed sections (lines 82, 104, 164) use consistent pattern notation (docs/00N-SYSTEM.mdwith explanation).

125-160: Consider updating the workflow diagram to reflect the optional pre-setup phase or add a clarifying note.The Mermaid sequence diagram depicts the core three-stage workflow (generate-spec → generate-task-list → manage-tasks) but does not include the optional
generate-contextpre-setup phase. While the diagram is technically accurate for the core flow, adding the optional context generation step (or a note clarifying that context generation is a preliminary optional phase) would make the visualization more comprehensive.If you'd like to update the diagram, consider adding the context generation phase as a preliminary step:

Change list item numbering from 0,1,2,3 to 1,2,3,4 in two sections: - Option 1: Manual Copy-Paste - Workflow Essentials Markdownlint MD029 requires ordered lists to start at 1 and be sequential. Optional steps are now marked with text (Optional, first time) rather than using 0 as the list number. Fixes: - README.md:26:1 MD029/ol-prefix - README.md:34:1 MD029/ol-prefix - README.md:42:1 MD029/ol-prefix - README.md:47:1 MD029/ol-prefix 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

73-105: Content clarity and structure look good.The optional pre-setup workflow is well-integrated:
- Artifact naming is consistent (
docs/00N-SYSTEM.mdwith examples001-SYSTEM.md,002-SYSTEM.md)- Cross-references to
prompts/generate-context.mdare accurate- Optional semantics are clearly marked in all sections (Pre-Setup, Core Workflow, Options 1–3)
- Workflow sequencing is logical (optional context → spec → tasks → execution)
Also applies to: 166-166, 178-229
Fix remaining MD029 markdownlint violations in TLDR section by changing list numbering from 1,0,1,2,3 to 1,2,3,4,5. This completes the fix started in the previous commit. All three sections now use proper sequential numbering: - TLDR section (this commit) - Option 1: Manual Copy-Paste (previous commit) - Workflow Essentials (previous commit) Fixes all MD029/ol-prefix violations in README.md. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

@ryderstorm this is finally ready for a review - I stripped it down to the bare minimum and the few small changes to the generate spec were just suggested additions to conform to the repo standards improvement recently added |
