Summary

This PR updates the Claude Code and OpenCode GPT-5 Codex workflows to automatically allow workflow execution for members of the liatrio-labs GitHub organization without requiring manual approval.

Changes

  • Added check-org-membership job to both workflows
  • Checks author_association first (OWNER, MEMBER, COLLABORATOR)
  • Falls back to checking liatrio-labs organization membership via GitHub API
  • Main workflow jobs now depend on authorization check passing

Benefits

✅ Existing collaborators continue to work without changes
✅ Any member of liatrio-labs organization can trigger workflows automatically
✅ Non-members and non-collaborators are still blocked
✅ No manual approval required for organization members

Implementation Details

The new check-org-membership job:

  1. Runs first and checks if the trigger event contains the appropriate command (@claude or /oc-codex)
  2. Extracts the actor and their author_association from the event
  3. If they are OWNER, MEMBER, or COLLABORATOR, authorizes immediately
  4. Otherwise, checks if the user is a member of liatrio-labs org using gh api "orgs/liatrio-labs/members/$ACTOR"
  5. Sets an output variable is-authorized that the main job depends on

Testing

To test this PR:

  1. Have an organization member (who is not a direct collaborator) comment with @claude or /oc-codex on an issue or PR
  2. Verify that the workflow runs automatically without requiring manual approval

Ref: docs/roadmap/PROGRESS.md Phase 2 enhancements
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

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

   - 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.
…lines

Reduced verbosity in Phase 6 example template while preserving all
functionality and guidance:

- Executive Summary: 32→15 lines (condensed to format guide + minimal example)
- Repository sections: Merged verbose examples into concise format guides
- System Capabilities: 3 detailed examples→1 example + format
- Architecture: 3 component examples→1 + merged subsections
- Technical sections: Merged Conventions, Testing, Build into single section
- Essential Files: Reduced from 8 to 3 example entries with format guide
- Execution Paths: 2 detailed flows→1 concise flow with format
- Final sections: Merged 4 sections (Confidence, Gaps, Recommendations, Next Steps) into 1
- Removed: Redundant Key Principles section (covered in main content)
- Streamlined: Final Checklist from 13→7 items

Total reduction: 334 lines (26% smaller) without losing instructional value.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~70 minutes

The breadth and heterogeneity of changes demand careful review: workflow authorization logic across two files requires validation of authorization semantics and GitHub Actions edge cases; extensive system and research documentation requires verification of accuracy against the codebase; updated prompt specifications involve phased workflow logic and execution guardrails; documentation-heavy but logically dense in workflow and prompt specifications.

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)
Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Description Check ⚠️ Warning The PR description is comprehensive and well-structured with clear sections covering motivation, changes, benefits, implementation details, and testing instructions. However, it does not follow the required template structure specified in the repository. The template requires specific section headings ("## Why?", "## What Changed?", "## Additional Notes") and includes a mandatory checklist with items for linked specs/tasks, test execution, linter checks, and documentation updates. The PR uses different section headings ("## Summary", "## Changes", "## Benefits", etc.) and completely omits the required checklist section. While the content quality is high, the deviation from the template format and the missing checklist items represent significant structural gaps. Update the PR description to follow the required template structure: use "## Why?" for the motivation section, "## What Changed?" for the key updates, and "## Additional Notes" for any follow-ups. Most importantly, add the mandatory checklist at the end with items confirming that relevant spec/task IDs are linked, tests were run with uv run pytest, linters/hooks were executed with uv run pre-commit run --all-files, and documentation was updated if behavior changed. The existing content can be redistributed across these template sections while maintaining the detailed explanations already provided.
Docstring Coverage ⚠️ Warning Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. You can run @coderabbitai generate docstrings to improve docstring coverage.
✅ Passed checks (1 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title Check ✅ Passed The PR title "Enable automatic workflow approval for Liatrio Labs organization members" clearly and accurately summarizes the main objective of the changeset. The title directly conveys that the changes enable automatic approval for organization members, which is the primary purpose of adding the check-org-membership job to both workflow files and gating execution behind authorization checks. The title is concise, specific enough to understand the primary change when scanning history, and avoids vague terminology.

Code scanning / CodeQL

Workflow does not contain permissions Medium

Actions job or workflow does not limit the permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN. Consider setting an explicit permissions block, using the following as a minimal starting point: {contents: read}

Copilot Autofix

AI about 1 month ago

The safest and most correct fix is to add a permissions: block explicitly to the root of the workflow or directly to the check-org-membership: job. Since the claude job already has its own permissions block, and since least privilege is recommended everywhere, we should add a permissions: block to the root of the workflow for read-only access or, more strictly, to the check-org-membership job with only the permissions needed. In this job, gh api "orgs/liatrio-labs/members/$ACTOR" is used, which only requires the token for reading public organization membership, meaning contents: read is sufficient. If we wish to be most precise, we add:

permissions:
  contents: read

at the job level (for check-org-membership:), or at the root if appropriate. For clarity and future extensibility, setting it at the job level minimizes possible impact on other jobs.

Steps:

  • Find the check-org-membership: job definition.
  • Add a block under it:
    permissions:
      contents: read

No new imports, methods or definitions are necessary.

Workflow does not contain permissions Medium

Actions job or workflow does not limit the permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN. Consider setting an explicit permissions block, using the following as a minimal starting point: {contents: read}

Copilot Autofix

AI about 1 month ago

To resolve this issue, the best practice is to add an explicit permissions: block to the check-org-membership job, specifying the least privilege required for the job's function. Since the workflow job only uses the GITHUB_TOKEN to read metadata, the minimal permission should be contents: read. This should be added right below the runs-on key in the check-org-membership job (on line 16 or 17), ensuring that the job does not inherit potentially overly broad repository-level permissions.

Necessary change:

  • In file .github/workflows/opencode-gpt-5-codex.yml, in the check-org-membership job, add:
    permissions:
      contents: read
    directly after runs-on: ubuntu-latest, indented to align with the rest of the job configuration.

.github/workflows/opencode-gpt-5-codex.yml (1)

42-69: Optional: extract authorization logic to reusable composite action.

Both claude.yml and opencode-gpt-5-codex.yml duplicate the authorization check script (lines 42–69, with only the trigger string differing). This could be extracted into a composite action to reduce duplication and simplify maintenance, though inline scripts are acceptable for stable internal workflows.

docs/research/codebase-context/README.md (1)

1-50: Excellent research index; consider reformatting status indicators to avoid MD036 linting.

The research directory overview is well-structured and provides clear navigation to five research documents plus synthesis. The Phase 1/Phase 2 approach and success metrics are clearly articulated. However, lines using bold emphasis for status (e.g., "🔴 HIGH", "🟡 MEDIUM") trigger Markdown linting warnings (MD036 - emphasis should be headings).

Optional refactor: Replace emphasis-based status lines with proper heading levels or inline badges:

- **🔴 HIGH:** Evidence citation standards (file:line, path#heading)
+ #### 🔴 Evidence citation standards (HIGH PRIORITY)

Or use Markdown table for status indicators instead.

prompts/generate-context.md (4)

27-68: Critical execution rules clearly emphasized but could benefit from simpler formatting.

Lines 27-68 establish the execution model with interactive vs. autonomous modes. The content is comprehensive and critical, but the wall of text is dense. Consider:

  • Adding a simple flowchart/decision tree at line 27
  • Using more visual separation between modes
  • Adding TL;DR summary before detailed rules

This will improve scannability and reduce risk of important rules being missed.

As an improvement, consider restructuring like this:

## ⚠️ CRITICAL EXECUTION RULE - READ FIRST

### Quick Reference

**Interactive Mode (Default):** Follow 6 phases with mandatory STOP points between each phase. Wait for user input at each ⛔ STOP.

**Autonomous Mode (--no_questions flag):** Skip stops, make assumptions, document them clearly with 🔵 confidence level.

### Detailed Rules

[detailed content follows...]

115-119: Filename pattern 00[n]-SYSTEM.md needs clarification on why leading zeros are required.

The pattern specified at line 118 uses 00[n] (e.g., 001-SYSTEM.md, 002-SYSTEM.md...). This works but unusual. Briefly document why:

  • Is this for lexicographic sorting (010 comes after 002)?
  • Is this a versioning scheme?
  • Is there a maximum number of documents supported?

A one-line explanation would prevent confusion.


27-54: STOP checkpoint enforcement could cause AI to fail if user is unavailable.

Lines 27-54 mandate STOP points and waiting for user input. However, the system should handle gracefully if user doesn't respond:

  • Add timeout guidance? (e.g., "After 30 minutes with no response...")
  • Add escalation path? (e.g., "Proceed autonomously if critical path...")
  • Add resume capability? (e.g., "User can provide answers later via...")

Without this, analysis could stall indefinitely.

Consider adding:

### Handling User Unavailability

If user doesn't respond to STOP checkpoints within 1 hour:
1. Offer to proceed autonomously (with clear assumptions)
2. Or save checkpoint for later resumption
3. Or ask if user prefers autonomous mode

Format: "User inactive for 60 min. Proceed autonomously? (y/n)"

809-926: Autonomous Answers Framework is sophisticated but depends heavily on AI judgment.

Lines 809-926 create a framework for making reasoned decisions when user isn't available. The template (lines 870-895) and example (lines 897-925) are excellent. However:

  • Gap-007 example assumes pinning to minor version is "standard"—this is actually debatable (some prefer >=0.1.0 for flexibility)
  • Framework lacks guidance on when to defer to "Unknown" instead of making autonomous answer

Consider adding: "When in doubt, mark as 🔴 Unknown rather than 🔵 Assumed" to bias toward caution.

tasks/tasks-0001-spec-sdd-mcp-poc.md (1)

65-65: URL corrections align with repository migration.

The three issue reference links have been correctly updated from the old repository path (spec-driven-workflow-mcp) to the new consolidated repository (spec-driven-workflow), maintaining correct issue numbering (#3, #4, #5) that corresponds to their respective task sections.

Also applies to: 73-73, 83-83

tasks/0001-spec-sdd-mcp-poc.md (1)

41-41: URL migrations are consistent and properly formatted.

The three Status line updates correctly migrate issue references from the old repository path to the new centralized path. The mappings are logical (Slice N → issue #N), and the Markdown link syntax is preserved.

Also applies to: 48-48, 55-55

.markdownlintrc (1)

1-4: Configuration looks good.

The Markdownlint configuration correctly disables rules MD036 and MD040, which aligns with the documentation-heavy changes in this PR.

.github/workflows/claude.yml (5)

17-34: Comprehensive trigger detection.

The condition correctly checks for @claude across all relevant event types (issue comments, PR review comments, PR reviews, and issue body/title). The null-safety checks for pull_request_review.body and proper field access for each event type are correct.


46-54: Correct author association extraction.

Each event type is properly mapped to its corresponding author_association field. Unhandled event types will leave the variable unset, which safely falls through to the GitHub API check as a conservative authorization failure.


56-60: Fast-path authorization logic is sound.

The early authorization check for OWNER, MEMBER, or COLLABORATOR author_association correctly bypasses the org membership API call. The exit 0 appropriately terminates the script after the output is set.


62-69: Conservative authorization fallback is appropriate.

The GitHub API check treats any failure (not found, errors, etc.) as "not authorized," which is the right conservative approach for a security gate. The step properly exits with 0 in all cases, allowing the output to be consumed by the dependent job.


35-36: Output handling and downstream gating are correct.

The authorization output is properly defined, referenced, and consumed by the dependent claude job. The string comparison correctly matches the shell script's output format.

Also applies to: 72-73

.github/workflows/opencode-gpt-5-codex.yml (2)

14-70: Authorization check correctly mirrors claude.yml pattern.

The check-org-membership job implements the same sound authorization architecture: trigger detection for /oc-codex, AUTHOR_ASSOC fast-path (OWNER/MEMBER/COLLABORATOR), and conservative fallback to GitHub API org membership check. All logic is correct.


71-92: Proper gating and permissions.

The opencode job correctly depends on the authorization check and has appropriate permissions (contents, id-token). The 30-minute timeout accommodates extended Codex execution time.

190-246: Phase 1 application is comprehensive; Phase 2 roadmap is clear.

Line 192-225 clearly traces how research was applied to generate-context prompt. Phase 2 planned enhancements (lines 227-246) reference corresponding new/updated prompts that should be verified to exist in the PR. Cross-check that generate-spec.md enhancements and the proposed new prompts (generate-architecture-options, review-implementation) align with this roadmap.

prompts/generate-spec.md (3)

19-29: Excellent additions: Core Principle and AI Behavior Guidelines frame requirements-gathering correctly.

Lines 19-29 introduce a clear WHAT/WHY vs. HOW separation and establish practical guidelines (ask rather than assume, reference context, short focused questions). These principles directly address gaps identified in the Claude Code comparison research and substantially improve prompt clarity.


30-87: Strong phased workflow with explicit STOP markers; mandatory clarifying phase addresses critical gap.

The restructuring into five phases with ⛔ STOP signals (lines 43, 64, 80, 86) aligns perfectly with Claude Code research findings. Phase 2 (Mandatory Clarifying Questions, lines 43-65) is now a hard checkpoint—users cannot proceed without answering. This directly prevents the "build wrong features" failure mode documented in the research.

Key improvement: Line 64 explicitly states "STOP - Wait for user answers before proceeding to Phase 3" (previously implicit in generate-spec examples).


120-143: Architectural Alignment and Technical Feasibility Assessment are new sections that strengthen spec completeness.

Lines 120-143 add two important sections:

  • Architectural Alignment (120-125): Ties spec to existing codebase patterns via codebase-context reference—prevents architectural misalignment.
  • Technical Feasibility Assessment (126-131): Uses confidence levels (🟢 High/🟡 Medium/🔴 Low) with evidence requirements—prevents underestimating risk.

Format example provided at line 124 shows proper citation: "src/auth/AuthService.ts:23-45 per codebase-context"—excellent alignment with research evidence standards.

docs/001-SYSTEM.md (3)

1-50: Comprehensive system documentation with excellent structure; note MD040 linting for code blocks.

This is a substantial system documentation artifact (1700+ lines) covering repository overview, capabilities, architecture, conventions, testing, deployment, dependencies, and integration points. The structure mirrors the research documentation standards: WHAT (capabilities), HOW (architecture), and WHY (decision rationale with evidence).

Strengths:

  • Confidence levels explicitly marked (🟢 High/🟡 Medium/🔴 Low) throughout
  • Evidence citations with file:line references
  • Decision rationale in Appendix D captures "why" decisions were made
  • Execution path examples are detailed and actionable

Minor: Static analysis flags MD040 (code blocks should specify language) on lines 525, 549, 559, 1154, 1239, 1278, 1597, 1705. This is cosmetic; all code blocks are readable without language specification but adding them improves syntax highlighting.

[approve_code_changes, suggest_optional_refactor]


1133-1150: Essential Files List is actionable and well-prioritized.

Lines 1133-1150 provide a top-10 priority reading list with rationale for each file. This directly addresses a research recommendation to provide "5-10 essential files to read" as an output. The list balances breadth (entry points, configuration, core logic, tests, prompts, README) with depth (specific line ranges where relevant).


1152-1302: Execution Path Examples are comprehensive; Level 3 of detail aids understanding.

Lines 1152-1302 provide three detailed execution path examples:

  1. Server startup (STDIO) - 79 lines of step-by-step flow
  2. MCP client prompt request - 31 lines
  3. Health check (HTTP) - 19 lines

Format is clear (numbered steps with arrow flows), includes file/line references, and traces from entry through initialization to output. This directly implements the research recommendation for "execution path traces with step-by-step flows."

docs/research/codebase-context/context_bootstrap.md (1)

1-57: Well-articulated manager orchestration pattern; establishes clear separation of concerns.

This file defines the Bootstrap Context Command as a manager pattern coordinating Code Analyst and Information Analyst subagents. The design is sound:

  • Mission (lines 10-16) is clear: produce PRDs, ADRs, SYSTEM-OVERVIEW, README
  • Core Principle (line 19) separates what code can reveal (HOW) from what users must provide (WHAT, WHY)
  • Repository Layout Awareness (lines 25-32) handles three common patterns (workspace, monorepo, single app)
  • Six-Phase Workflow (lines 41-50) is logical: structure → audit → analysis → collaboration → draft → review

The subagent pattern (Code Analyst + Information Analyst) reflects research findings and enables parallel, focused analysis.

docs/research/codebase-context/code-analyst.md (2)

23-99: Clear role boundaries prevent scope creep; "What NOT to Look For" section is particularly valuable.

The three discovery areas (Functional Capabilities, Technology Stack, Architecture & Patterns) are well-scoped. Line 91-99 explicitly excludes WHY inference—"You can't know why from code alone." This clear boundary prevents the Code Analyst from making assumptions about rationale, which is delegated to Information Analyst.

Key principle (line 279): "Stay in your lane - don't infer WHY from code." This prevents analysis drift.


180-236: "Good vs Bad" examples are instructive; demonstrate proper evidence and confidence marking.

The good example (lines 182-206) shows:

  • Specific file:line citations (e.g., services/api/catalog/routes.ts#L12)
  • Working features only (no missing/planned features)
  • Technology names without versions
  • No quality judgments
  • Confidence marking implicit

The bad example (lines 208-236) shows common mistakes:

  • Specific versions (shouldn't include)
  • Code quality judgments ("GOOD CODE QUALITY", "NEEDS IMPROVEMENT")
  • Missing features (belongs in roadmap, not PRD)
  • Internal data models (implementation details, not contracts)

This contrast makes the guidelines concrete and actionable.

docs/research/codebase-context/claude-code-feature-dev-comparison.md (2)

367-391: Gap analysis is well-structured; critical gaps are clearly articulated and justified.

The three-level gap analysis (Critical, Important, Minor) is systematic:

Critical Gaps (lines 369-375):

  1. Mandatory clarifying questions phase—prevents building wrong features
  2. Multi-approach architecture—enables better design decisions
  3. Quality review before merge—catches bugs early

Important Gaps (lines 377-383):

  • Agent-based file discovery (5-10 key files to read)
  • Explicit approval gates
  • Execution path tracing

Each gap includes rationale ("Impact") and priority. This structure helps prioritize where to focus enhancement efforts.


456-569: Recommended improvements are specific and map directly to identified gaps.

Phase 1 enhancements (lines 458-569) are concrete:

  1. Enhance generate-spec with mandatory clarifying phase (lines 460-505): Adds explicit Phase 3 with STOP checkpoint—directly addresses Critical Gap #1
  2. Create generate-architecture-options (lines 508-533): 2-3 approaches with trade-offs—addresses Critical Gap #2
  3. Create review-implementation (lines 537-567): Quality review with categorized findings—addresses Critical Gap #3

Each recommendation includes:

  • Current state vs. recommended change
  • Specific code/markdown diffs
  • Rationale for the change
  • Integration point in workflow

This level of specificity makes implementation straightforward.

docs/research/codebase-context/information-analyst.md (2)

20-99: Excellent complementary role definition; clear separation from Code Analyst (WHY vs WHAT/HOW).

Information Analyst discovers WHY (rationale, decisions, context) from documentation—directly complementing Code Analyst's WHAT/HOW from code. Four discovery areas (lines 22-93):

  1. System Context & Purpose (lines 22-38)—finds problems solved, users, business value
  2. Decision Rationale (lines 40-59)—finds why X was chosen, alternatives, trade-offs
  3. Intended Architecture (lines 61-76)—finds design intent, patterns, deployment topology
  4. Historical Context (lines 78-93)—finds evolution, migrations, problems encountered

"How to find it" subsections are actionable (scan README, design docs, ADRs, diagrams, meeting notes, commit messages).


130-238: Output format template is comprehensive and well-structured for information synthesis.

The output format (lines 130-238) provides a clear template with sections for:

  • Documentation found (in-repo + external with metadata)
  • System context (purpose, users, use cases)
  • Decision Rationale (technology, architecture decisions with direct quotes and sources)
  • Intended architecture (components, communication, design patterns)
  • Historical context (evolution, migrations)
  • Conflicts & Discrepancies (between docs, gaps, outdated info)
  • Confidence levels (High/Medium/Low with evidence)
  • Questions for manager (clarifications needed)

Format emphasizes evidence: Line 162 says "Why chosen: '[Direct quote or paraphrase from docs]'" and line 163 shows source format: "[path/to/doc.md#section-heading]"—excellent alignment with research standards.

docs/research/codebase-context/research-synthesis.md (4)

213-287: Phased restructuring recommendation is well-detailed; provides clear path for generate-context enhancement.

Lines 213-287 propose restructuring generate-context into seven focused phases:

  1. Repository Structure (222-226)
  2. Documentation Audit (228-233)
  3. Code Analysis (235-243)—with file:line evidence, confidence levels, "stay in lane" principle
  4. Information Analysis (245-252)—with source references, rationale extraction
  5. Gap Identification (254-259)
  6. User Collaboration (261-267)—mandatory STOP, capture quotes
  7. Generate Analysis Document (269-277)—with 5-10 essential files list + execution paths

This structure directly implements Code Analyst/Information Analyst patterns and aligns with context_bootstrap six-phase workflow. Each phase has clear deliverables and outputs.


518-530: Integration priority matrix effectively guides implementation sequencing.

The matrix (lines 518-530) rates 8 changes by Impact (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) and Effort (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW):

  • P0 (Do First): Restructure codebase-context + evidence citations + confidence assessment (HIGH impact, MEDIUM/LOW effort)
  • P1 (Important): Enhance generate-spec + ADR template + interactive questioning (MEDIUM impact, LOW/MEDIUM effort)
  • P2 (Future): Agent specialization + multi-document artifacts (LOW impact, HIGH/MEDIUM effort)

This prioritization focuses effort on high-impact, achievable improvements first, deferring lower-priority enhancements.


643-705: Three-sprint roadmap is realistic; success metrics are quantifiable.

Sprint-based roadmap (lines 645-684):

  • Sprint 1: Core evidence & confidence (Week 1)
  • Sprint 2: Interactive collaboration & WHY capture (Week 2)
  • Sprint 3: Architecture & review phases (Week 3)

Success metrics (lines 687-704) include both qualitative (100% evidence cited) and quantitative (<5 batch questions per phase) targets. This provides clear validation checkpoints for implementation.


279-287: Migration impact section is helpful; note that regeneration may be needed for existing context documents.

Lines 279-287 note that existing context documents remain valid (file:line citations don't change) but may need regeneration for consistency with new format. This transparency helps users understand the impact of format changes.

[approve_code_changes, request_verification]

Verify that migration guidance is clear enough for users who have existing context documents. Consider adding a migration example or checklist in a separate document if regeneration complexity warrants it.

1-10: Branch reference appears inconsistent with PR metadata.

Line 4 references branch add-reverse-engineer-codebase-prompt, but the PR is from branch workflow-org-member-approval. This suggests either the document is from a different PR or needs updating to reflect the current PR context.


149-177: Clear and comprehensive Phase 1 completion summary.

The structured breakdown of Phase 1 deliverables with evidence citations, file counts, and status indicators is well-organized. The research synthesis work and prompt enhancements are clearly documented with specific outputs.


180-320: Phased implementation plan is well-documented with clear priorities.

Phase 2 and Phase 3 planning provides detailed descriptions of upcoming work, estimated effort, implementation roadmaps, and acceptance criteria. The prioritization and structure (Priority 1 vs Priority 2) makes it clear what's critical vs. optional. This is high-quality project planning documentation.


615-650: Comprehensive key decisions documentation with proper sourcing.

The "Key Decisions Made" section (lines 617-650) properly documents rationale with citations to source documents and line numbers. This is excellent practice for maintaining decision history. All five decisions are well-articulated with clear reasoning.


663-667: All external links verified as accessible and current.

Verification confirms all three URLs return HTTP 200 status:

The external links section is accurate and the references are valid.

prompts/generate-context.md (12)

1-15: YAML frontmatter structure is clear and appropriate for prompt specification.

The metadata block properly defines prompt name, description, tags, arguments, and tool whitelist. The no_questions argument with description for autonomous mode is well-articulated.


70-81: AI Behavior Guidelines are clear and actionable.

Six critical rules establish guardrails against common AI pitfalls (summarizing without evidence, inferring rationale from code, etc.). These directly address the prompt's core principle of staying in lane and being evidence-based.


120-201: Evidence Citation Standards and Confidence Framework are well-designed.

The system for classifying findings (High/Medium/Low/Assumed confidence with clear automation rules) and requiring citations (code: path:lines, docs: path#heading, user: [User confirmed: date]) is comprehensive and practical. The automation rules for confidence (e.g., "3+ references → start with Medium") are particularly useful.

Note: Static analysis flagged a potential compound adjective issue at line 674 (should be "auth-middleware" if modifying a noun), but this appears to be in documentation example context where exact formatting is less critical.


203-295: Phase 1 (Repository Structure) instructions are comprehensive with good scope controls.

The scoping thresholds (lines 246-252) are practical and show awareness of scale challenges (>5,000 files, >100 MB). The three user questions (lines 262-283) are appropriately focused (scope, purpose, priority areas) and not a lengthy questionnaire.


297-359: Phase 2 (Documentation Audit) emphasizes gap detection and conflict identification.

Well-structured with clear instructions on finding documentation, extracting rationale, and flagging issues. The distinction between explicit vs. implied rationale and the requirement for metadata capture (timestamp, path, confidence) is appropriate for an evidence-based system.


361-512: Phase 3 (Code Analysis) and Phase 3.5 (Pattern Recognition) provide detailed discovery instructions.

Strong emphasis on WHAT/HOW separation (lines 365), execution path tracing (lines 385-398), and pattern detection (lines 521-581). The exclusions list (line 400-406: "What NOT to include") prevents scope creep and keeps focus on user-relevant capabilities.

The anti-pattern detection (lines 546-565) is thorough and practical.


602-700: Crosscutting Concerns coverage (lines 639-700) is exceptional.

Often-overlooked system-wide qualities (logging, error handling, configuration, security, performance, testing) are given dedicated treatment with specific detection strategies and confidence assessment rules. This is sophisticated analysis guidance.


704-805: Phase 5 (Gap Identification) and Phase 5.5 (Autonomous Answers) show sophisticated judgment.

The gap prioritization framework (🟥 Critical / 🟧 Important / 🟨 Minor with clear decision rules at lines 748-752) is well-reasoned. The autonomous answer framework (lines 809-995) acknowledges that some gaps can be reasoned through while critical decisions require user input—this is intelligent design that balances autonomy with caution.


997-1044: Phase 6 output structure provides two modes (Executive Summary vs. Full) with detailed templates.

The document structure template (lines 1047-1672) is comprehensive with real examples. Sections cover overview, capabilities, architecture, conventions, testing, build, essential files, execution paths, confidence summary, gaps, and recommendations. This is production-quality documentation specification.


1126-1177: Repository Health Indicators section (Version Control & Evolution) adds valuable context.

Lines 1126-1177 suggest analyzing commit activity, code maturity signals, ownership patterns, and architectural evolution through Git history. This is sophisticated analysis guidance that extracts implicit system knowledge from version control patterns.


1451-1668: Essential Files list, Execution Paths, and Recommendations sections provide strong guidance for downstream usage.

The three complete example execution path traces (User Login, Payment Processing, Background Job) with full line-number citations show exactly how to present findings. The "Recommendations for New Features" section (lines 1582-1615) ties analysis to practical development workflow.

The Final Checklist (lines 1655-1669) is excellent quality assurance—helps AI verify completeness before completing.


1655-1669: Final Checklist is comprehensive quality gate.

The 10-point checklist (lines 1655-1669) ensures evidence citations, confidence levels, gap documentation, and actionable recommendations are all present. This is excellent for ensuring output quality.
