/wrapup — Feature Completion Wrap-Up
You are closing out a completed feature after it has been merged. This skill ensures ADLC artifacts are finalized, knowledge is captured, and the team has a clear summary of what shipped.
Ethos
!test -s .adlc/ETHOS.md && cat .adlc/ETHOS.md || echo No ethos found — run /init, or /adlc:init on the plugin install, to vendor .adlc/ETHOS.md
Context
Run this block first, with your shell tool, and read its output before you continue. Each read prints a notice instead of failing when its file is absent.
# adlc-context
echo '--- Active specs'
grep -rlx -e status:.approved -e status:.in-progress -e status:.complete --include requirement.md .adlc/specs 2>/dev/null || echo 'No specs found'
echo '--- Knowledge directory'
ls .adlc/knowledge/ 2>/dev/null || echo 'No knowledge directory'
echo '--- Current branch'
git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo 'Not a git repo'
echo '--- Recent merges'
git log --oneline --merges -10 2>/dev/null || echo 'No merge history'Input
The target is the argument: whatever follows /wrapup in the invocation (on Claude Code it can also arrive as an ARGUMENTS: line appended to this text).
It is a REQ id, optionally followed by --close-out. With no REQ id, Step 1 infers it. Strip the flag before any REQ-id parsing; its meaning is defined under Close-out mode below.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding, verify that .adlc/context/architecture.md and .adlc/context/conventions.md exist. If any of these files are missing, stop and tell the user: "The .adlc/ structure hasn't been initialized. Run /init (/adlc:init on the plugin install) first to set up the project context."
Close-out mode (--close-out)
Close-out mode exists for the actor that performed a merge it did not implement: the /sprint orchestrator after a cross-repo or fallback merge, or the workflow engine's close-out leaf (BUG-249). /proceed Step 8c's rule is "whoever performs the merge owns the Step 8b close-out", and that actor has neither the implementing session's transcript nor the authority to deploy — so running the full skill from a post-merge leaf would push, open a PR, re-merge, delete branches and deploy to every listed device. This mode runs exactly the close-out half.
What runs: Step 1 (identify), Step 3 (artifact statuses + the terminal record), Step 4 (knowledge capture, with the input rule below), Step 5 (ship summary), then the close-out commit below. What is skipped: Step 2 (the feature merge), Step 6 (deploy), Step 7 (cleanup), Step 8 (next steps). Deploy and cleanup belong to the orchestrator that invoked this mode, which reports what it did not do.
Rules:
- Precondition — the feature PR is already merged. Before anything else, confirm every touched repo's PR reports
MERGED(adlc_forge_pr_view <prUrl> --fields state,mergedAt, sourcingpartials/forge.shin the same fence). If any is not, stop withclose-out refused: <repo> PR <url> is <state>, not MERGED— this mode never merges a feature PR. - Where it runs. In a dedicated close-out worktree the caller declares (
WORKTREE PATH (mandatory): <abs>— the REQ-263 contract), on branchchore/REQ-xxx-close-outcut fromorigin/<integration-branch>. Never in the caller's live checkout, and never concurrently with another REQ's close-out in the same repo: the caller serializes close-outs per repo the way it serializes merges. - Step 3 item 5 targets the primary repo path's copy of
pipeline-state.json(<repos[primary].path>/.adlc/specs/REQ-xxx-*/pipeline-state.json, the Step 8b target) — the close-out worktree has no state file (it is gitignored, per-worktree). Write all five fields, and additionally"closeOut": { "status": "ok", "at": "<ISO timestamp>" }. The caller writes"status": "failed", "reason": "<why>"to the same key if this mode exits non-zero, so/statuscan show a merged-but-not-closed REQ as exactly that. - Step 4 draws on supplied evidence, not a transcript. Transcript discovery is skipped (
JSONLstays empty; the delegate is not invoked, which the resolver records asfallback/gate=fail, not a ghost-skip — the same case (b) the delegated-drafting rule already allows). The lesson is drafted from what the caller's prompt supplies: the REQ's consolidated Phase-5 findings (severity, title, fixed/not), the implementer and reviewer reports, the task list, the merged PR's file list, andpipeline-state.json(phaseHistory,blockers,conflictsResolved,lane.escalations) plus the spec'slane_escalatedfrontmatter, and validated withadlc_lesson_checklike any other write (Step 4 Write and check). A non-emptylane.escalations, or alane_escalatedin the spec, is run evidence for the escalation lesson in Step 4 Lane escalations on its own. If the prompt supplies none of the findings or reports, and there is no escalation, write no lesson and putNO_ENTRY: close-out had no run evidencein the summary's### Lessons capturedsection — a lesson invented without run evidence is worse than none. - Close-out commit. After Steps 3–5, in the close-out worktree:
git addthe spec, task files and any newASSUME-*/LESSON-*files; commitchore(REQ-xxx): close-out — spec complete[, LESSON-nnn]; push; open a PR throughadlc_forge_pr_createtitled the same; merge it withadlc_forge_pr_merge <url> --squash --delete-branchand checkbranch_deleted(BUG-195). Lesson ids were allocated and rechecked in Step 4, so this push is collision-safe. The caller removes the close-out worktree afterwards. If the chore PR cannot be merged (policy, conflict), leave it open, report its URL, and exit non-zero so the caller recordscloseOut.status: failed. - Output. The Step 5 summary, with
### Lessons capturedfilled, is the mode's return value; the caller carries it into the sprint summary.
Instructions
Step 1: Identify the Feature
- If given a REQ ID, locate all artifacts under
.adlc/specs/REQ-xxx-*/ - If no REQ ID given, infer from the current branch name or recent merge commits
- Read the requirement spec, architecture doc, and all task files
- Detect repository mode — read
.adlc/config.ymlin the primary repo. If it declares more than one entry underrepos:, this is cross-repo mode; otherwise single-repo mode. In cross-repo mode also readpipeline-state.jsonfrom the spec directory — it holds the per-repo branch/worktree/PR/merge state.
Step 2: Commit, Push, and Merge
Determine the repo set to operate on:
- Single-repo mode: operate on the current repo only. Skip to the single-repo steps below.
- Cross-repo mode from
/proceed:pipeline-state.jsonalready lists touched repos; eachrepos[<id>].mergedreflects whether/proceedPhase 8 already merged that PR. WalkmergeOrderand for each repo either confirm it's merged (no-op) or run the single-repo merge sequence inside that repo's worktree. - Cross-repo mode standalone: no
pipeline-state.json— fall back to detecting touched repos from the config and checking for feature branches/open PRs in each. Proceed with the single-repo merge sequence in each repo that has pending work, inmerge_orderfrom the config.
Already merged? Before the sequence below, check the branch's PR with adlc_forge_pr_view <prUrl> --fields state,mergedAt (source partials/forge.sh in the same fence). If it reports MERGED — the normal state when /proceed Phase 8 or a /sprint orchestrator merged before invoking /wrapup — skip items 1–9 and continue at item 10 (cleanup). Re-running the merge sequence against a merged PR pushes, re-creates and re-merges nothing useful and can delete branches twice. In close-out mode Step 2 is skipped entirely (see Close-out mode).
Single-repo merge sequence — run this block inside each target repo's worktree (same mechanics as before):
- Branch check FIRST — never commit on
main. Rungit -C <worktree> branch --show-current. If it reportsmain(ormaster), stop: create a feature branch (e.g.,agent/REQ-xxx-slugorfeat/REQ-xxx-slug) and switch to it withgit checkout -b <branch>BEFORE touching any files. If you're already on a worktree branch from/proceedPhase 0, continue. - Check
git -C <worktree> statusandgit -C <worktree> difffor any uncommitted changes related to the feature - If there are uncommitted changes:
- Stage all relevant files (avoid secrets,
.env, credentials) - Create a commit with message:
feat(REQ-xxx): <summary of changes> - Include
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Stage all relevant files (avoid secrets,
- Push the branch to remote with
git -C <worktree> push -u origin <branch> - If no PR exists for this branch, create one using
adlc_forge_pr_create(sourcepartials/forge.shwith the guarded spelling from conventions.md "Bash in skills" in the same fence; from inside the worktree, or with-R <owner/repo>) with a summary of what shipped — PR ops route through the forge adapter, never directgh(REQ-520 BR-1) - If CI checks exist, monitor the pipeline with
gh run watchand report the result - Rebase onto the current integration branch before merging — in a sprint or long-running pipeline, the integration branch may have advanced since the feature branch was cut.
<integration-branch>is the PR's base:pipeline-state.json'sintegrationBranchwhen a pipeline state exists, otherwise/proceedstep 4's rule (branches.integrationfrom.adlc/config.ymlwhen declared, elsestagingin two-branch repos, elsemain) — never a hardcodedmain(LESSON-036). Rungit -C <worktree> fetch origin <integration-branch>and check whether the branch is behind:git -C <worktree> merge-base --is-ancestor origin/<integration-branch> HEAD. If that command fails (exit 1), the branch is behind the integration branch and must be updated:git -C <worktree> rebase origin/<integration-branch>- If there are conflicts, STOP and surface them to the user — do not try to resolve semantic conflicts blindly
- On clean rebase, force-push with lease:
git -C <worktree> push --force-with-lease - Re-run
gh pr checks <prUrl>and wait for CI to re-pass before merging
- Verify PR status is mergeable:
adlc_forge_pr_view <prUrl> --json mergeable,mergeStateStatusshould reportMERGEABLEand a clean merge state (on GitHub; ADO normalizes viapr_view). If not, stop and surface the reason. - Merge the PR using
adlc_forge_pr_merge <prUrl> --squash --delete-branch. In cross-repo mode, updatepipeline-state.json— setrepos[<id>].merged = true. Checkbranch_deletedin the output (BUG-195).gh's post-merge cleanup routinely aborts when the default branch is checked out in another worktree — the normal state for a pipeline session. The adapter completes the remote deletion itself and reportsbranch_deleted=1(orskipped-fork). If it reportsbranch_deleted=0, the remote branch survived: run the exactgit push origin --delete <branch>thewarn=line names before continuing. Branch on this field, never on thewarn=prose. - Capture cleanup state BEFORE leaving the branch. You must record three things while you are still on the feature branch in the feature worktree, because the subsequent
git checkout mainmay only work in the main worktree and you will lose the ability to look these up afterwards:- Branch name:
BRANCH=$(git -C <worktree> branch --show-current) - Current working-tree path:
WT_PATH=<worktree> - Main worktree path:
MAIN_WT=$(git -C <worktree> worktree list --porcelain | awk '/^worktree /{p=$(2)} /^branch refs\/heads\/main$/{print p; exit}')
- Branch name:
- Move to the main worktree and update it:
git -C "$MAIN_WT" checkout main && git -C "$MAIN_WT" pull - Clean up local branch and worktree (run from
$MAIN_WT):- If
"$WT_PATH"differs from"$MAIN_WT"(i.e., the work happened in a separate worktree), remove it:git -C "$MAIN_WT" worktree remove "$WT_PATH". This handles BOTH the/proceedpattern (.worktrees/REQ-xxx) and the Claude Code harness pattern (.claude/worktrees/<slug>) without hardcoding either path. - If the feature branch still exists locally after the squash-merge (git does not recognize squash-merges as merged, so
git branch --mergedwill miss it), delete it:git -C "$MAIN_WT" branch -D "$BRANCH". Squash-merge is the default, so expect this to be the common case. - Prune any lingering remote-tracking refs:
git -C "$MAIN_WT" fetch --prune
- If
- Verify cleanup:
git -C "$MAIN_WT" worktree listshould no longer include$WT_PATH, andgit -C "$MAIN_WT" branchshould no longer include$BRANCH. If either is still present, stop and surface the reason rather than silently moving on.
Cross-repo aggregate log: after walking every touched repo, emit a one-line summary per repo: <repo-id>: merged <prUrl>, worktree cleaned or <repo-id>: already merged (from /proceed Phase 8).
Step 3: Update ADLC Artifact Statuses
<!-- retrieval-status: lifecycle-write -->complete— the terminal REQ status written by step 1 below
<!-- /retrieval-status -->complete is the status /spec Step 1.6 must be able to retrieve. The block
above is the machine-readable declaration tools/lint-skills's
retrieval-status-parity check reads; if this status is ever changed here
without updating /spec's exclusion list, the check fails rather than letting
spec retrieval go silently empty (BUG-194).
- Set the requirement's frontmatter status to
complete - Set all task statuses to
complete - Update the
updateddate on all modified artifacts to today's date - If any tasks were deferred or descoped, note them in the requirement file under a "Deferred" section
If
pipeline-state.jsonexists in the spec directory, write the complete terminal record — a partial write leaves a state file that contradicts the repo (BUG-193). All five:"completed": true"currentPhase": 88appended tocompletedPhases(append; do not replace the array)- a final
phaseHistoryentry for phase 8 naming the merge commit repos[<id>].merged = truefor every touched repo whose PR is merged — verify against the forge (adlc_forge_pr_view <prUrl> --fields state,mergedAt) rather than assuming, since/wrapupmay be running standalone after an out-of-band merge
Setting
completed:truewhile leavingcompletedPhasesat[0..7]ormerged:falseis the failure this list exists to prevent. Re-read the file after writing and confirm all five.In close-out mode the file to write is the primary repo path's copy (
<repos[primary].path>/.adlc/specs/REQ-xxx-*/pipeline-state.json), never the close-out worktree's, and the record also carries"closeOut": { "status": "ok", "at": "<ISO timestamp>" }(BUG-249). The key is additive and optional: a state file without it is read as "close-out not recorded", and/statusreportscloseOut.status: failedunder its Stale Pipeline State heading.
Step 4: Capture Knowledge
Evaluate whether any decisions, patterns, or lessons should be persisted:
Architectural Decisions
- Were any new patterns introduced? If so, propose an update to
.adlc/context/architecture.md - Were any existing patterns modified or deprecated?
Assumptions Validated or Invalidated
- Review assumptions from the requirement spec
- Log any that were validated, invalidated, or still unresolved to
.adlc/knowledge/assumptions/ - Use the assumption template (check
.adlc/templates/assumption-template.mdfirst, fall back to$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT/templates/assumption-template.md) - Name files:
ASSUME-xxx-slug.md. Determine the next ID with the reservation-aware allocatoradlc_alloc_id assume(REQ-546 BR-12): it atomically reserves the number on this repo'sorigin(refs/adlc/ids/assume/<NNN>) BEFORE returning it, so concurrent/wrapupruns across clones of one repo — or concurrent/sprintwrapups — cannot double-allocate an ASSUME id. The per-checkout.adlc/.next-assumecounter is now a CACHE:max(remote, local) + 1supersedes the old "never re-scan after the counter exists" rule, and the mkdir-lock + symlink pre-check (LESSON-014, LESSON-110) now live insideadlc_alloc_id. Source the partial and call it in the SAME fenced block (fenced blocks don't share shell state):
The reservation is PER-REPO scoped (BR-12): the ref is pushed to and derived from ONLY this repo'sADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"; [ -n "$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT" ] || [ ! -d "$HOME/.claude/skills/partials" ] || ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT="$HOME/.claude/skills"; [ -n "$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT" ] || ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT=$(cat "$HOME/.claude/adlc/plugin-root" 2>/dev/null); export ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT="${ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/skills}" if [ -f .adlc/partials/id-alloc.sh ]; then . .adlc/partials/id-alloc.sh; else . "$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT/partials/id-alloc.sh"; fi ASSUME_NUM=$(adlc_alloc_id assume) # `exit 1` inside adlc_alloc_id's subshell terminates only the subshell — guard parent. [ -n "$ASSUME_NUM" ] || { echo "ERROR: failed to allocate ASSUME number — aborting" >&2; exit 1; }origin, never sibling repos, keeping the per-project namespace while making it collision-safe across clones. Derivation mirrors the lesson kind — the merged.adlc/knowledge/assumptions/scan on the origin default branch PLUS the reservation namespace, no branch source — so historical ASSUME ids raise the high-water with no backfill and a stale clone cannot lower it. Degradation stays loud-not-blocking: an offline/wrapupstill allocates (with a warning) frommax(local counter, local assumptions scan) + 1, and the REQ-545 recheck remains the late tripwire.
Lessons Learned
Before the gate check, create a skill-invocation flag and capture the start time for telemetry (REQ-424 ghost-skip detection):
ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"; [ -n "$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT" ] || [ ! -d "$HOME/.claude/skills/partials" ] || ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT="$HOME/.claude/skills"; [ -n "$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT" ] || ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT=$(cat "$HOME/.claude/adlc/plugin-root" 2>/dev/null); export ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT="${ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/skills}"
if [ -f .adlc/partials/delegate-tools-path.sh ]; then . .adlc/partials/delegate-tools-path.sh; else . "$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT/partials/delegate-tools-path.sh"; fi
flag=$("$DELEGATE_TOOLS"/skill-flag.sh create)
trap '"$DELEGATE_TOOLS"/skill-flag.sh clear "$flag" 2>/dev/null || true' EXIT # cleanup on abort
"$DELEGATE_TOOLS"/skill-flag.sh mark "$flag" start_s "$(date -u +%s)"The telemetry state (start_s, invoked, exit, reason) is persisted to the
flag file via skill-flag.sh mark, NOT to shell variables, because
SKILL.md fenced blocks do not share shell state (single-fence-safe telemetry,
REQ-522 BR-4). The resolution block reads it back with skill-flag.sh read.
Decide drafting strategy via the shared predicate (REQ-416 ADR-2 — see partials/delegate-gate.md), then proceed down the appropriate branch:
ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"; [ -n "$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT" ] || [ ! -d "$HOME/.claude/skills/partials" ] || ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT="$HOME/.claude/skills"; [ -n "$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT" ] || ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT=$(cat "$HOME/.claude/adlc/plugin-root" 2>/dev/null); export ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT="${ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/skills}"
if [ -f .adlc/partials/delegate-gate.sh ]; then . .adlc/partials/delegate-gate.sh; else . "$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT/partials/delegate-gate.sh"; fi
if [ -f .adlc/partials/delegate-tools-path.sh ]; then . .adlc/partials/delegate-tools-path.sh; else . "$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT/partials/delegate-tools-path.sh"; fi
adlc_delegate_gate_check; gate=$?
"$DELEGATE_TOOLS"/skill-flag.sh mark "$flag" reason "$ADLC_DELEGATE_GATE_REASON"
case $gate in
0) ;; # delegated path — see "Delegated drafting" below
1) ;; # disabled path (ADLC_DISABLE_DELEGATE=1, or not opted in) — see "Fallback drafting" below
2) ;; # unavailable path (adlc-read not on PATH) — see "Fallback drafting" below
esacDelegated drafting (gate passes — adlc-read is on PATH and ADLC_DISABLE_DELEGATE is not 1):
MANDATORY — no agent discretion. When the gate passes AND step 1 resolved a transcript, invoking adlc-read to draft the lessons is required, not optional. Exactly four non-delegated outcomes are acceptable on the gate-pass path: (a) adlc-read was actually invoked and exited non-zero (→ api-error fallback), (b) step 1's discovery legitimately produced no transcript — no transcript holds the run's mark, or more than one does — so there was nothing to delegate, (c) extract-chat refused the transcript because no real fixture has proven its format, or failed on it, or (d) the credential redaction failed, so the transcript may still hold a key and must not leave the machine. Cases (b), (c) and (d) never reach the call site, so invoked is never marked and the resolver records fallback/gate=fail; it is therefore NOT rewritten into a ghost-skip (that rewrite keys on gate=pass). Drafting the lessons-learned yourself from a transcript you did resolve, instead of calling adlc-read — for ANY reason, including "short session", "few lessons", or "faster to just write them" — is a compliance violation, NOT a fallback. emit-telemetry.sh mechanically rewrites any gate-pass fallback record whose reason is not api-error into a ghost-skip, so a hand-written reason cannot disguise a skipped call — the skip surfaces in check-delegation.sh counts regardless of how the emit is labeled.
Close-out mode (BUG-249): skip this step — do not run the discovery blocks (1a and 1b). Mark the flag file's jsonl empty ("$DELEGATE_TOOLS"/skill-flag.sh mark "$flag" jsonl "", in a fence that re-sources partials/delegate-tools-path.sh) so step 2 falls through to Fallback drafting, and draft there from the evidence the caller supplied (Close-out mode rule 4).
Locate this run's own transcript — self-marked discovery (BUG-253, replacing the REQ-423 ancestor walk). Two fences, run as two separate tool calls: the first prints a fresh random mark, and by the time the second runs, that output is a tool result in exactly one transcript — this conversation's, wherever the harness keeps it. The second finds that one file, on any harness: first through the session sidecars in
.adlc/.session/, which the session-start hook writes, then across the harness roots (REQ-660). The mark is the one acceptance check on both rungs, so a sidecar never licenses a file that does not hold it. A command that is still running is not yet in its own transcript, so the two must never be combined into one call.Why not walk the directories. REQ-423 climbed from the working tree to
$HOME, took each ancestor's~/.claude/projects/<encoded>directory, and picked the first JSONL whose tail named the REQ id. Under/sprintapipeline-runneris a subagent: its transcript is~/.claude/projects/<orchestrator's encoded cwd>/<session>/subagents/agent-<id>.jsonl, which no ancestor of the runner's worktree reaches. The repo root's directory meanwhile holds older sessions that name the REQ too, so REQ-647's runner was handed a 2026-10-27 session that only mentioned it (LESSON-733). An id anchor proves a transcript mentions the work, not that it is the run; concurrent runners even share one session id. The mark is the only signal no other transcript can carry.<!-- adlc-home: claude-code -->A miss refuses; it never falls back. If no transcript holds the mark, or more than one does (a forked copy),
adlc_transcript_findreturns 1 with nothing on stdout,$JSONLstays empty, and control falls through to Fallback drafting — Claude writes the lesson from the conversation it actually ran. Do not reach for another session's transcript: a well-formed lesson about other work is worse than no delegation (LESSON-483). Each call emits exactly one/wrapup: session JSONL —stderr line saying what it chose or refused and by which rung;partials/session-transcript.shcarries the contract.Step 1a — print the mark (its own tool call):

Before writing, Claude must validate every citation. First, sanitize the citation tokens themselves — only accept tokens matching strict regexes; reject (do not just
ls) anything else to prevent path traversal via delegate-injected strings:- File path citations in the body (the four prose sections) → require the cited path to match
^[A-Za-z0-9_./-]+$, must NOT start with/(repo-relative only — the regex class permits/, so/etc/passwdwould otherwise pass it), AND must NOT contain the two-character substring..anywhere (the regex character class permits.so..would otherwise allow parent-directory traversal).

This rejects all of:../etc/passwd,./../etc/passwd,subdir/../etc/passwd,safe/..//etc, and any other..-based traversal. Only after all three checks pass, runtest -f <path>from the repo root.

Justify each proposedsupersedesid against the draft'sevidence: asupersedesentry switches off/review's escalation for the lesson it names (REQ-646 BR-6), so keep it only when the evidence shows that lesson is wrong or replaced, not merely related. Drop any id that fails a check (a list left empty is written[]). The wrapup log records, for both lists, the ids the delegate proposed and the ids kept. Note any drops or rewrites in the wrapup log so the audit trail shows what the delegate proposed vs. what shipped.

- Claude reads the validated draft and edits it for accuracy, voice, and scope — the draft's
kind,evidenceandconfidencestay only where the capture rules in Fallback drafting below support them. Then allocate the id with the allocation fence in Fallback drafting (${ADLC_HOME:-$HOME/.claude}/.global-next-lessonatomic counter,LESSON-xxx-slug.mdnaming) and write the file at Write and check, the shared write point both paths use, which validates it before the pre-push recheck. If the proposal is a singleNO_ENTRY: <reason>line and you agree nothing transferable survived, allocate nothing and write no file; that line goes in Step 5's### Lessons captured. - The success line
/wrapup: Lessons Learned drafted via the delegateis emitted at Write and check, only after the check returns rc 0 — so a transcript showing the line is proof the delegated path produced a lesson that passed the schema check. ANO_ENTRYoutcome (the delegate's, or the repair loop's) emits no success line. Thetrapfrom step 2 cleans up the temp file.

.adlc/templates/lesson-template.mdfirst, fall back to$ADLC_TOOLKIT_ROOT/templates/lesson-template.md) - Filename format is
LESSON-xxx-slug.md(e.g.,LESSON-041-signed-url-ttl-mismatch.md). This is the ONLY permitted naming scheme — do not use date-prefixed names (2026-MM-DD-…md) or bare numeric prefixes (034-…md). Slugs are lowercase kebab-case, ≤6 words. - Allocate the next ID atomically via the global
${ADLC_HOME:-$HOME/.claude}/.global-next-lessoncounter (shared across all repos for unique IDs, mirroring the REQ/BUG counters — see LESSON-004; directory scans also race against concurrent/sprintpipelines — LESSON-110). The counter is now a cache, not the authority — the remote is the source of truth (REQ-518): allocation derives the remote high-water, takesmax(remote, local) + 1, and fast-forwards the local counter, all inside the sharedmkdir-lock with its LESSON-014 symlink pre-check.

_adlc_emit_step_telemetry wrapup Step-4-Lessons-LearnedLane escalations (REQ-652)
A REQ that started on the lite lane and escalated to the full lane owes one lesson per escalation, so triage is tuned from evidence rather than guesswork (BR-14). Read the escalations from pipeline-state.json lane.escalations. When state is unavailable (another machine, or a close-out with no state file), read the spec's lane_escalated frontmatter instead, which records the last one.
- No escalation, no lesson. A REQ whose state has no
laneobject, or an emptylane.escalations, and whose spec has nolane_escalatedgets no escalation lesson. That covers a REQ that stayed on the lite lane and a REQ that was always full; a missinglanemeansfull. - Each escalation is one lesson, written exactly like the lessons above: allocate the id with the allocation fence in Fallback drafting, write it at Write and check, run
adlc_lesson_checkand its repair loop, then the pre-push recheck.

Convention Updates
- Were any new conventions established? Propose updates to
.adlc/context/conventions.md - Were any existing conventions found to be problematic?
Record the lessons outcome (REQ-648)
Step 4's lesson outcome is now settled: the LESSON-xxx lines, or the one NO_ENTRY: line, that Step 5's ### Lessons captured slot will carry. Record it in the primary repo path's pipeline-state.json, the file Step 3 item 5 writes (in close-out mode, the primary-path copy named in Close-out mode rule 3). Pass every LESSON-xxx written, comma-separated, with --ids, or --no-entry when the slot holds a NO_ENTRY: line. It is the source of the run-outcome line's lessons_written. Skip it when the spec directory has no pipeline-state.json (a standalone /wrapup); the wrapper always exits 0.

Create a concise summary suitable for sharing with the team. In cross-repo mode, list each repo/PR under a Repos section.
Single-repo template:
## REQ-xxx: Feature Title
**Status**: Shipped
**Branch**: agent/REQ-xxx-slug
**PR**: #nn
**Merged**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Lane**: full | lite | full, escalated from lite (<trigger>) — omit when the spec has no `lane` key
### What shipped
- Bullet points of user-facing or developer-facing changes
### Key decisions
- Notable architectural or design decisions made during implementation
### Metrics
- Files changed: N
- Lines added/removed: +N / -N
- Tests added: N
- Coverage impact: X% -> Y% (if measurable)
### Deferred items
- Any work explicitly postponed for future
### Follow-up needed
- Any remaining work, monitoring, or verification required
### Lessons captured
- LESSON-xxx — one-line hook (one line per lesson written in Step 4)
(or exactly one line: `NO_ENTRY: <reason>` — e.g. `NO_ENTRY: close-out had no run evidence`)Cross-repo template (replace the single PR/Branch lines with a Repos table):
## REQ-xxx: Feature Title
**Status**: Shipped
**Merged**: YYYY-MM-DD
### Repos
| Repo | Branch | PR | Files | +/- |
|------|--------|----|-------|-----|
| api | feat/REQ-xxx-... | #12 | 7 | +320 / -15 |
| web | feat/REQ-xxx-... | #45 | 3 | +88 / -2 |
| mobile | feat/REQ-xxx-... | #31 | 5 | +210 / -40 |
### What shipped
- Bullet points (call out cross-repo changes like new API contracts explicitly)
### Key decisions
### Metrics (aggregate across repos)
### Deferred items
### Follow-up needed
### Lessons captured
- LESSON-xxx — one-line hook (one line per lesson written in Step 4)
(or exactly one line: `NO_ENTRY: <reason>` — e.g. `NO_ENTRY: close-out had no run evidence`)In close-out mode the summary is the mode's return value and the skill ends after the close-out commit (Close-out mode rules 5–6); Steps 6–8 below do not run.
Step 6: Deploy
Walk the touched repos and deploy each deployable component. Read .adlc/config.yml for stack and deploy config — every step below is conditional on what the project actually declares.
- Determine which components were changed by examining each touched repo's PR/commits. Deploy decisions per repo:
- Backend services declared under
services:: If the project's CI/CD already deploys on merge (typical forcloud-run+github-actions), confirm the deploy succeeded for each touched service —gcloud run services describe <service> --project=<gcp.production_project> --region=<services[<id>].region or gcp.default_region>. If the project doesn't deploy on merge, run the appropriate manual deploy. - iOS (when
stack.frontendsincludesiosAND the iOS repo was touched): readios.deploy_targets,ios.derived_data_clean, andios.deploy_commandfrom the primary's.adlc/config.yml. Ifderived_data_cleanis true, runrm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*first. Thencd <ios-repo-worktree-or-checkout>and run<ios.deploy_command>, deploying to every device indeploy_targets. Don't skip a device. - Web frontend: Confirm CI/CD deploy succeeded.
- Infrastructure changes: Note that the IaC apply (Terraform/Pulumi/etc.) is needed and confirm with user.
- Backend services declared under
- If no touched repo has deployable changes (e.g., only ADLC docs changed), skip this step.
- In cross-repo mode, emit a one-line deploy status per touched repo in the ship summary.
Step 7: Clean Up
- Check for any temporary files, debug logging, or feature flags that should be removed
- Verify CLAUDE.md or other docs don't need updates based on what shipped
Step 8: Recommend Next Steps
- If deferred items exist: "Consider creating
/specfor deferred items: [list]" - If follow-up monitoring is needed: "Monitor [what] for [how long]"
- If conventions were updated: "Review
.adlc/context/conventions.mdchanges" - Otherwise: "Feature complete. No follow-up needed."
