-## Intended usage - -This repo supports both a full-project mode and a bounded-initiative mode. - -Use full-project mode when the repository needs an authoritative execution layer for the whole product. - -Use bounded-initiative mode when the user says something like: - -- "use the exec-ctrl repo to do the following work" -- "govern this refactor under exec-ctrl" -- "run this audit/remediation effort under exec-ctrl" -- "define the work, success criteria, and evidence model before implementation" - -Typical ordering: - -1. product and architecture docs establish the concept -2. exec-ctrl docs become the authoritative execution layer -3. implementation work updates the status, phase, and evidence docs in the same cycle as code changes - -For bounded initiatives, the ordering is lighter: - -1. translate the request into a scoped initiative objective -2. activate a control record, audit log, and decision log -3. define success criteria and non-goals before implementation -4. execute and validate with evidence -5. close the initiative with explicit completion and deferrals - -## Operating modes - -### Project-pack mode - -Use [templates/project-pack](templates/project-pack) when: - -- the repository needs a full execution layer -- the work spans the whole product or delivery ladder -- the project already has concept, architecture, or product-definition docs - -### Initiative-pack mode - -Use [templates/initiative-pack](templates/initiative-pack) when: - -- the work is a bounded slice inside an active codebase -- the user is asking for one initiative, audit, refactor, remediation effort, or subsystem slice -- the team needs explicit scope, success criteria, audit checkpoints, and decisions without rewriting the whole project pack -- the agent needs a default governance pattern for "do this work under exec-ctrl" - -If the user request is bounded and does not require a whole-product execution layer, initiative-pack mode should be the default. - -## Shared status vocabulary - -Both operating modes should use the same core execution states unless a repository has a very strong reason not to: - -- `not_started` -- `in_progress` -- `blocked` -- `complete` -- `deferred` - -Phase names should carry the lifecycle nuance. Status words should stay compact and consistent. - -## Core rule - -The current phase is the earliest phase that is not `complete`. - -That prevents work from drifting into later features while earlier gates remain unresolved. - -For initiative-pack mode, the same discipline applies at the initiative level: work should not be declared closed until must-pass criteria are backed by evidence and documented in the control artifacts. - -## Repo-link bootstrap - -If the user brings a task idea plus a repository link and expects the agent to stand up exec-ctrl in the target repo, use [docs/EXEC_CTRL_REPO_LINK_BOOTSTRAP.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_REPO_LINK_BOOTSTRAP.md). - -If the user mentions the `exec-ctrl` repo itself only as a method reference, such as `Use the exec-ctrl process: https://github.com/LeiterConsulting/exec-ctrl`, and does not provide another target repo link, treat the current workspace as the target repo and the `exec-ctrl` URL as the method source. - -That guide now includes a quick routing table for current-workspace bootstrap, external-repo bootstrap, and improving `exec-ctrl` itself, plus a copyable first-session prompt for a brand-new or lightly populated workspace. - -That guide covers: - -- mode selection from the request shape -- what control docs to create first -- how to add workspace guidance so later agent sessions stay aligned -- concrete prompt examples and failure modes - -## Self-hosting and method evolution - -If the work is to improve `exec-ctrl` itself, or to improve another governance, template, prompt, or method repository using the same discipline, use [docs/EXEC_CTRL_SELF_HOSTING_AND_METHOD_EVOLUTION.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_SELF_HOSTING_AND_METHOD_EVOLUTION.md). - -That guide covers: - -- when self-hosting should still default to initiative mode -- how to treat docs, prompts, templates, and examples as governed product surfaces -- how to update the generic method first and repo-local evidence second -- how to close recursive method changes without hiding follow-on work - -Use [docs/EXEC_CTRL_SELF_HOSTING_COHERENCE_CHECKLIST.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_SELF_HOSTING_COHERENCE_CHECKLIST.md) during validation when you need to check whether the changed docs, prompts, templates, examples, and proof artifacts still teach one coherent workflow. - -If the user asks to continue refining this repository from workspace context, use [docs/EXEC_CTRL_AGENT_ASSESSMENT_LOOP.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_AGENT_ASSESSMENT_LOOP.md) and the installed guidance under `.github/` first. - -If a repo-link or self-hosting request is ambiguous, use the scorecards in [docs/EXEC_CTRL_REPO_LINK_SCORECARDS.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_REPO_LINK_SCORECARDS.md) and [docs/EXEC_CTRL_METHOD_REPO_REFINEMENT_SCORECARDS.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_METHOD_REPO_REFINEMENT_SCORECARDS.md) to calibrate the live rubric pass. - -If the boundary between one bounded slice and a whole-system redesign is unclear, use [docs/EXEC_CTRL_BOUNDED_VS_WHOLE_SYSTEM_SCORING_RUBRIC.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_BOUNDED_VS_WHOLE_SYSTEM_SCORING_RUBRIC.md) before choosing the control path. - -If you need to capture likely next improvements without making them look active, use the non-operational planning area in [docs/planning](docs/planning). That area is for candidate enhancements and roadmap shaping, while [docs/exec_ctrl](docs/exec_ctrl) remains the operational evidence area for active or completed bounded refinements. - -When the defined planning backlog is exhausted and you need an explicit broader-readiness checkpoint, use [docs/EXEC_CTRL_METHOD_REPO_TEST_READY_REVIEW.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_METHOD_REPO_TEST_READY_REVIEW.md). - -## Quick start - -1. If the starting point is a repo link plus a task, follow [docs/EXEC_CTRL_REPO_LINK_BOOTSTRAP.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_REPO_LINK_BOOTSTRAP.md) first. - If the only repo link is the `exec-ctrl` repo itself, use the same bootstrap guide but treat the current workspace as the target. -2. If the starting point is to improve `exec-ctrl` itself or another method repository, follow [docs/EXEC_CTRL_SELF_HOSTING_AND_METHOD_EVOLUTION.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_SELF_HOSTING_AND_METHOD_EVOLUTION.md) first. -3. If the user asks to continue refining this repository itself, use [docs/EXEC_CTRL_AGENT_ASSESSMENT_LOOP.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_AGENT_ASSESSMENT_LOOP.md) and the repo-local `.github/` prompts first. -4. Choose the operating mode. -5. For full-project control, copy the files from [templates/project-pack](templates/project-pack) into the target project's docs folder. -6. Keep the numbering so the exec-ctrl layer sits after the original concept pack. -7. Fill in the target product, page inventory, phase plan, tests, and live status for the project. -8. For bounded initiative control, copy the files from [templates/initiative-pack](templates/initiative-pack) into a folder such as `docs/exec_ctrl/` in the target repository and rename them to match the initiative. -9. If the repository lacks agent guidance, copy the files from [templates/workspace-guidance](templates/workspace-guidance), customize them for the target repo, and run [docs/EXEC_CTRL_WORKSPACE_GUIDANCE_VALIDATION_CHECKLIST.md](docs/EXEC_CTRL_WORKSPACE_GUIDANCE_VALIDATION_CHECKLIST.md). -10. During implementation, update the status, audit, and evidence docs whenever reality changes. - -If you want a concrete starting point, use one of the generic example packs in [examples/initiative-examples](examples/initiative-examples) and adapt it to the target effort. - -## Agent invocation pattern - -When a future user says "use the exec-ctrl repo to do the following work: ...", the default agent behavior should be: - -1. inspect the request and decide whether it is whole-project or bounded-initiative work -2. prefer initiative-pack mode unless the request clearly needs the full project pack -3. activate the required docs before implementation starts -4. install workspace guidance if the target repo does not already have an equivalent control surface -5. convert the request into explicit objective, scope, deliverables, must-pass criteria, should-pass criteria, and non-goals -6. keep the control docs current while implementation and validation happen -7. close only when evidence exists and any deferrals are recorded explicitly - -When the target is the method repository itself, the same rule applies: activate the control docs first, then update the generic method surfaces before treating repo-local control records as the only evidence of change. - -## Recommended repository convention - -Use the exec-ctrl files as the authoritative execution surface. - -When docs disagree, the usual order should be: - -1. active user direction -2. `18_EXEC_CTRL_STATUS.md` -3. `16_EXEC_CTRL_PHASE_PLAN.md` -4. `17_EXEC_CTRL_TEST_AND_SUCCESS.md` -5. `14_EXEC_CTRL_TARGET_PRODUCT.md` -6. `15_EXEC_CTRL_PAGES_AND_FUNCTIONS.md` -7. earlier concept docs - -## Extracted pattern scope - -This repo is the generic pattern only. - -It is not tied to one app, one framework, or one runtime.

Auth, permissions, sensitive data, payments, +production access and destructive migrations require high-risk handling. New facts +can raise the mode. Do not downgrade because the change is described as "just docs" +or "a tiny fix." If risk is unassessed, use task mode until inspected. + +Load [policy](modules/policy.md) and [Git hygiene](modules/git.md) for every task +(Git operations are not applicable without a Git repository). Then select: + +| Module | Load when | +| --- | --- | +| [Quality and logic](modules/quality.md) | Behavior/code changes, audits, or uncertain/high risk | +| [Security](modules/security.md) | Auth, data, payments, dependencies, CI/tool permissions, exposure, audits, or uncertain/high risk | +| [Troubleshooting](modules/troubleshooting.md) | Bug, failure, incident or unexplained behavior | +| [Architecture and SDLC](modules/architecture.md) | Feature, refactor, migration, interfaces or multiple services | +| [Documentation](modules/documentation.md) | Docs, public contracts, onboarding, features, planning or changed operations | +| [Delivery](modules/delivery.md) | Release, deployment, migration, production or CI changes | +| [Team integration](modules/team.md) | Multiple owners, reviews, issue systems or handoffs | +| [Enterprise](modules/enterprise.md) | Organization rules, regulated context or policy uncertainty | + +The [catalog](framework/catalog.json) supports optional deterministic routing of +declared facts. Semantic inspection still matters: include relevant controls even +if a keyword or file extension does not trigger them. Existing policy may add gates. +Performance, accessibility and compatibility are acceptance concerns when relevant; +define measurable or human-observed checks rather than inferring them from a build. + +## 5. Define success, then execute + +Before substantive changes, record outcome, scope, non-goals, selected controls +and why, known policy sources, must-pass acceptance criteria and planned evidence. +Keep this proportionate; reuse current team records instead of creating duplicates. +For read-only requests, keep the record in the response or another authorized +location. Never write into the target just to satisfy the framework. + +Give a short working agreement when useful: target/outcome, relevant risk and +controls, acceptance checks, and any concrete blocker. Do not ask the user to +choose modules. See [task playbooks](docs/v2/PLAYBOOKS.md) for practical starting +points, selected by the task rather than loaded together. + +Work in small coherent slices. Investigate failures rather than repeatedly trying +the same action. Fix routine in-scope blockers. Record significant scope/contract +decisions, newly discovered risk, and findings requiring separate work. Update docs +when behavior changes. Do not broaden a fix into an unsolicited rewrite. + +Use existing test/build/security checks appropriate to the change. Inspect commands +before running unfamiliar scripts. Make regression checks prove behavior, including +negative cases and boundaries. A missing tool or inaccessible environment is a gap, +not a pass. Independent work can continue while a dependent gate is blocked. +Stop repeating checks once the required checks pass unless a new change or concern +justifies them. Preserve failed attempts and use the result to choose the next step. + +## 6. Review evidence and finish honestly + +Review the final diff and the path from requirement to implementation to test. +Classify each required gate as `pass`, `fail`, `blocked` or `not_run`; `not_applicable` +needs a specific reason. Associate passing gates with current evidence and the +revision/artifact/environment they cover. A changed relevant input invalidates old +evidence until rechecked. Documentation saying "complete" is not proof. +The optional [helper](docs/v2/TOOLING.md) can generate pending records, hash explicit +files, compare those files before closure, and require evidence kinds for named +gates. These tools assist the agent; the user does not need to run them. + +Separate source inspection, automated tests, deployed identity and live acceptance. +Close only the scope proven. Required failures, unknown policy, stale evidence and +missing acceptance block the relevant completion claim. Record exclusions, owner +and follow-up; do not hide a failed requirement by relabeling it deferred. + +Handoff: state what changed, why, checks and results, unresolved risks, and the next +action if any. Include useful evidence links without secrets or raw customer data. +For resumption, reread target instructions, current Git state, scope and evidence; +reconcile changes before continuing. See the [operating model](docs/v2/OPERATING_MODEL.md). +For long work, context compaction or interrupted sessions, retain a concise +[checkpoint](docs/v2/SESSION_LOOP.md) with current inputs, unresolved obligations +and the next useful action. Reuse existing records; do not restart completed work +or treat a new message as cancellation unless it changes the objective. + +## 7. Persistence is optional + +For future sessions, add a small reference to existing instructions only when +ongoing adoption is within scope.
