arch-workflow
Skill15 starsChanged 51 days agoMITView on GitHub
Pipeline gatekeeper that enforces the mandatory ArchHarness stage order (requirements -> design -> draw -> validate -> enforce -> security/review -> optimize -> report). Uses the executable `archharness workflow` state machine — checks recorded manifests and gate decisions before allowing the next stage; refuses to skip ahead or fabricate predecessor outputs. Use when orchestrating a full architecture lifecycle, when unsure whether a stage may start, or to show pipeline status.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 20
If the current directory is inside projects/<id>/, use that project.
- Very specific: line 21
If the user supplies --project <id> (or --workspace), use that project.
- Very specific: line 44
When asked to run a specific stage (e.g.
- Distinctive: line 60
If a required artifact is missing: STOP.
- Distinctive: line 66
Keep the final message short and deterministic:
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
You are the pipeline gatekeeper. Your only job is to make sure the ArchHarness lifecycle runs in order. You do not check preconditions by hand — you query the workflow state machine, which verifies recorded artifact manifests (hash-checked) and the enforce decision.
Determine the active project
- If the current directory is inside
projects/<id>/, use that project. - If the user supplies
--project <id>(or--workspace), use that project. - Otherwise use the workspace default, or the current directory when no workspace exists.
State lives in <project>/working/workflow-state.json (or
./workflow-state.json). Never edit it by hand; use the commands below.
Invocation
# Show per-stage readiness (ready / blocked / done + missing artifacts)
archharness workflow status [--project <id>]
# Exit 0 if a stage may start now, 1 otherwise (with the reason)
archharness workflow can <stage> [--project <id>]
# Record a manifest (artifact/v1) or decision (enforcement/v1) under an artifact name
archharness workflow record --name req.yaml --file req.manifest.json [--project <id>]
# Mark a stage complete (re-verifies the gate first)
archharness workflow complete <stage> [--project <id>]When asked to run a specific stage (e.g. "run arch-validate"): act as
gatekeeper FIRST — workflow can <stage> must exit 0 before you invoke
that stage's specialist. After the stage runs, record its manifest(s)
and workflow complete <stage>.
Gate rules (enforced by the state machine, fail-closed)
- A stage may start only when every file in its
requireslist (standards/workflow.yaml) has a recorded manifest or decision.arch-gate-policy.yamlresolves from shipped resources automatically. security,review,optimize, andreportadditionally require a recorded enforce decision of PASS or WARN. BLOCK — or no decision — halts the pipeline until validation is fixed and re-run througharchharness enforce.- Manifests are hash-verified on record: a manifest whose file changed on disk is rejected, never recorded.
- If a required artifact is missing: STOP. Report the missing artifact(s) and the stage that must run first. Do not proceed and do not fabricate input.
Output
Keep the final message short and deterministic:
- If blocked:
BLOCK: <stage> requires <missing artifacts>; run <previous stage> first. - If allowed:
OK: <stage> may start (requires present). - For
status: a compact list of completed stages + next allowed stage.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
