chore: remove /inbox and /implement-feature commands#123
Merged
Conversation
/inbox duplicated /triage's idea capture, and /implement-feature was an interim AFK runner being replaced by unic-dlc-build (see ADR-0031). - Delete .claude/commands/inbox.md, .claude/skills/implement-feature/, and docs/inbox/README.md - Add ADR-0031 superseding ADR-0027 and ADR-0029 - Update AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and the process/agents docs to describe the current state (manual /tdd, unic-dlc-build as the long-term Feature Runner) The 10 captured ideas under docs/inbox/ are kept as historical artifacts; docs/issues/feature-runner/PRD.md is left untouched (already closed).

Pull request overview
This PR retires the interim Claude Code entrypoints (/inbox and /implement-feature) and updates repo documentation/ADRs to reflect the current workflow: idea capture via GitHub Issues or /triage, manual execution via /tdd, and unic-dlc-build as the long-term AFK Feature Runner.
Changes:
- Removed
/inboxcommand docs and the entire/implement-featureskill (including its references/templates). - Added ADR-0031 and marked ADR-0027/ADR-0029 as superseded.
- Rewrote workflow/runner docs to describe manual
/tddexecution now andunic-dlc-buildlater.

docs/inbox/still exists in the repo (historical idea files remain), but it has been removed from the workspace tree here. That makes the tree inaccurate for navigation/discovery. Consider re-adding adocs/inbox/entry marked as historical/retired (or move/delete the remainingdocs/inbox/*.mdartifacts).

Phase 1 said capture via GitHub Issue while Phase 5/6 produced docs/issues/<slug>/ artifacts without saying how the two relate. GitHub Issues are the canonical tracker for state and ownership; docs/issues/<slug>/ holds the grilled PRD + ticket files that the Feature Runner consumes. Not every GitHub Issue becomes a Feature directory. Also re-adds docs/inbox/ to the AGENTS.md workspace tree, marked historical, matching how docs/plans/ is listed.

…ssues The clause stated that the existing Feature directories under docs/issues/ predate GitHub being adopted as the primary tracker. That ordering isn't documented anywhere, so removing the claim rather than asserting it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
/inboxis removed — it duplicated/triage's idea capture entry point./implement-featureis removed — it was an interim AFK Feature Runner being replaced byunic-dlc-build(shipped byunic-archon-dlc), per ADR-0030./implement-feature's internals.Why
/inboxwas introduced before/triagewas fully understood; ideas can now go straight to GitHub Issues or through/triage./implement-featurewas a trial to replaceralph-orchestratorwith a Claude Code skill — converging on a single Feature Runner (unic-dlc-build) reduces the harness surface.Changes
