# Let's go

Take one story, bug or chore to a pull request ready for review, in one
run. Start from its issue number, from an idea in words, or from
nothing, which takes the next ready issue. *Start* claims the issue in
this session. Then each step runs in a fresh session: shape when the
issue needs it, then plan, review plan, build and review build.
`lets-minimal` skips review plan. An idea too large for one issue runs
discovery in the shape step, and the run builds the first ready story it
files. A step never asks the user: it ends with a report. This session
answers the step's questions or asks the user, as the interactivity
level says. Run every command below from the repo root.

A run can stop part way. Run `lets-go` again, on the default branch or
on the change's branch. It reads from Git and GitHub which steps are
done, prints a dated line for each, and goes on from the first
unfinished step.

## Start

1. Read the user's default level. Run this once, before anything asks
   GitHub:

   ```bash
   lets go level
   ```

   It prints one JSON line, such as `{"level":"recommend"}`. Keep its
   `level` for the whole run: `ask`, `recommend`, or `null` when the
   `lets` config sets none. If it exits non-zero, show the user its
   stderr and stop: claim nothing, and run no step. Then find the
   default branch with
   `gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq .defaultBranchRef.name`,
   and run `git branch --show-current`.
2. Read the request. A leading or trailing `ask` or `recommend` names
   the level: take it off, and keep it for step 10. What is left is one
   of these:
   - **A number:** it holds `#<i>`, or is a bare number. It names the
     issue.
   - **Words:** anything else. They are an idea, kept word for word.
   - **Nothing.**

   Then find the issue, `<i>`:
   - **On the default branch**, a number is `<i>`. An idea goes to
     [Start from an idea](#start-from-an-idea). With nothing, run the
     third case, `next`, of
     [Find the source of demand](#find-the-source-of-demand), over the
     whole backlog. When `next` picks an issue, print
     `Picked #<i>: <title>, the next ready issue.` That issue is `<i>`.
     When nothing is ready, the stop in `next` stands.
   - **On another branch**, `<branch>`: when the request is words, say
     that an idea needs the default branch, and stop. Otherwise search
     for the change's issue:

     ```bash
     gh issue list --state open --search "<branch> in:title" --json number,title
     ```

     Keep the issues whose title starts with `<branch> — `. When the
     user gave a number, it must be one of them. If it is not, say that
     the issue and the branch do not match, and stop. When they gave
     none, exactly one match is the issue. If none matches, say that
     `lets-go` runs on the default branch or on a change's branch, and
     needs the issue number on a change's branch. Stop. If several
     match, say that `lets-go` needs the issue number, and stop.
3. Read the blockers of `<i>`, and decide on an open one before
   anything else in this step:

   ```bash
   gh issue view <i> --json title,blockedBy
   ```

   It gives the title too. `<name>` is the change's name, which *Claim*
   takes from the title. On a change's branch, it is `<branch>`. A
   blocker whose `state` is `OPEN` is open. When one is, look for the
   change's branch before you stop, as step 7 does:
   - **The branch exists**, here or on `origin`: the user has stacked it
     by hand. Name the open blockers by number, and go on. On a change's
     branch, the branch exists: you are on it.
   - **It does not exist:** say which open issues block `#<i>`, and
     stop. The user stacks it on the blocker's branch by hand.

   Then run [Find the source of demand](#find-the-source-of-demand) for
   `<i>`, as for a named issue. Its *Check the prerequisite* still
   runs. When it finds an unresolved owner or checkpoint, the
   prerequisite stop stands, even on a stacked branch: report it, and
   stop. Any other stop in that section stands as the section reports
   it. When the section passes, go on to step 4.
4. Run [Confirm the packet](#confirm-the-packet). Three of its stops say
   to run `lets-shape` on `#<i>`: the issue is not shaped, a line is
   missing or a placeholder, or comments are unread. On the default
   branch, when no shape step has run in this run, set that stop aside
   and [run the shape step](#run-the-shape-step) for `#<i>`. Any other
   stop stands, as the section reports it. An Epic stops there: it is
   built through its stories. For a Story with a parent, the section
   reads the parent's **Shared decisions**: *Route* needs them.
5. When *Confirm the packet* passes, shape is done. When a shape step
   reported `done` in this run, print its line. `<date>` is the report's
   `date`, and `<evidence>` is its `evidence`, joined with `; `:

   ```text
   Done shape: <date>. <evidence>
   ```

   Otherwise print:

   ```text
   Skipped shape: #<i>'s packet is complete, last edited <date>.
   ```

   Here `<date>` is the day of the issue's `lastEditedAt`, from the thread
   query in *Confirm the packet*, as `YYYY-MM-DD`. When `lastEditedAt`
   is null, the body was never edited. Use the day the issue was
   created:

   ```bash
   gh issue view <i> --json createdAt --jq .createdAt
   ```

6. Run [Route](#route). Keep the route line: the plan step needs it.
7. On the default branch, look for the change's branch, here and on
   `origin`:

   ```bash
   git branch --list <name>
   git ls-remote --heads origin refs/heads/<name>
   ```

   - **Neither prints a line:** run [Claim](#claim), which creates the
     branch. A stop it makes stands. When its glossary preflight found
     owned edits, also run *Import the glossary checkpoint*. Then
     [commit the discovery map](#commit-the-discovery-map).
   - **Either prints a line:** the change has started. Do not run
     *Claim*. When `git ls-remote` printed it, run
     `git fetch origin <name>` first: `git switch` finds a branch on
     `origin` only once it is fetched. Then run `git switch <name>`.

   When step 3 has looked already, use what it found.
   Stay on `<name>` for the whole run.
8. When `origin` has the branch, bring it up to date before you read any
   record. On a change's branch, run the `git ls-remote` of step 7 to
   check.

   ```bash
   git fetch origin <name>
   git merge --ff-only origin/<name>
   ```

   Skip the fetch when step 7 has just run it. If the merge cannot
   fast-forward, the branch and `origin` have diverged: the
   [records disagree](#records-that-disagree). If any command here fails
   for another reason, show the user its error, and stop.
9. Set `<schema>`. When `openspec/changes/<name>/.openspec.yaml` exists,
   it is that file's `schema:` line. Otherwise it is the schema *Route*
   picked.
10. Set `<level>`, the interactivity level. Take the first of these
    that is set:
    1. The level the user named in the request that started the run.
    2. The level `lets go level` printed in step 1, when it is not
       `null`.
    3. The Kind's: `recommend` for a Chore or a Bug, `ask` for a Story.

    Never ask the user which level to use. The level holds for this run
    only. After a shape step, set it again here, in the same order: the
    Kind is settled now. Do not run `lets go level` again. Print the line
    for the source you used:

    ```text
    Interactivity: <level>, because you asked for it.
    Interactivity: <level>, because your lets config sets go.level.
    Interactivity: <level>, because #<i> is a <Kind>.
    ```

    At `recommend`, this session answers each question that has a
    recommendation, and asks the user the rest. At `ask`, it asks the
    user every question.

*Start* runs in this session. It is not a step, and has no step report.
The shape step it runs is a step, and has a report. After
*Start*, [walk the step table](#walk-the-step-table).

### Find the source of demand

Parallel sessions share the backlog, so claim the issue before you
create anything.

Find the Project linked to this repository first:

```bash
gh api graphql -F owner='{owner}' -F name='{repo}' -f query='
query($owner: String!, $name: String!) {
  repository(owner: $owner, name: $name) {
    nameWithOwner
    projectsV2(first: 100) { nodes { number title url closed owner { ... on User { login } ... on Organization { login } } } }
  }
  repositoryOwner(login: $owner) {
    ... on ProjectV2Owner {
      projectsV2(first: 100) { nodes { number title url closed owner { ... on User { login } ... on Organization { login } } repositories(first: 100) { nodes { nameWithOwner } } } }
    }
  }
}' --jq '.data.repository.nameWithOwner as $repo
  | {repo: $repo, projects: ([.data.repository.projectsV2.nodes[], (.data.repositoryOwner.projectsV2.nodes[] | select(any(.repositories.nodes[]; .nameWithOwner == $repo)))]
      | map(select(.closed | not) | {number, title, url, owner: .owner.login}) | unique_by(.owner, .number))}'
```

The query lists the Projects linked to the repository, and the
owner's Projects that link back to it. A user-owned Project can be
missing from the repository's own listing for a while after it is
linked, so neither list alone is enough.

- **One Project:** use its `number` as `<project>` and its `owner` as
  `<owner>` in every `gh project` command below. The query's `repo` is
  the repository, as `owner/name`.
- **None:** say to run the `lets-setup-backlog` skill, and stop.
- **Two or more:** list each Project's title and URL, ask the user to
  unlink the extras, and stop. Never pick one yourself.

Then take the first case that applies:

1. **The user named an issue.** Use it. *Start* step 3 has read its
   blockers already, and decided whether an open one stops the run.
2. **The user described work but named no issue.** Search for it:
   `gh issue list --state open --search "<idea> in:title" --json number,title`.
   If one matches, confirm with the user that it is the same work. If
   none does, say to run the `lets-shape` skill on it, and stop.
3. **Otherwise, take `next`.** List the Project's Todo candidates with a
   priority of Must, Should or Could. Any Kind but Epic counts, and
   items from other repositories are left out:

   ```bash
   gh project item-list <project> --owner <owner> --format json --limit 500 \
     --jq '.items[] | select(.content.repository == "<repo>" and .status == "Todo" and .kind != "Epic" and (.priority | IN("Must", "Should", "Could")))
           | "\(.priority)\t\(.kind)\t\(.size // "-")\t#\(.content.number)\t\(.content.title)\t\(.content.url)"'
   ```

   Then list the open issues that nobody is assigned to and nothing
   blocks:

   ```bash
   gh issue list --search "is:open no:assignee -is:blocked" --limit 500 --json number --jq '.[].number'
   ```

   `next` comes from the candidates whose number is in the second list.
   Rank them Must, then Should, then Could, then the lowest issue
   number, and take the first. A Wont is never a candidate. If there is
   none, say the backlog has nothing ready, suggest the `lets-shape`
   skill to shape more, and stop.

Before you pick `next`, run only
[Check the prerequisite](#check-the-prerequisite) on each candidate, in
rank order. Fetching, the commit checks and the rehearsal wait for
*Claim*, and run only for the candidate you pick. Skip a candidate with
an unresolved prerequisite. If none is left, say the backlog has
nothing ready, suggest the `lets-shape` skill, and stop, without picking
a candidate or confirming a packet. For a named issue, report the
unresolved owner or checkpoint, and stop. Otherwise, go back to the
step of *Start* that ran it. When *Pick the first ready story* or
*Claim* ran it, go back to that step: each says what comes next.

### Confirm the packet

Read the issue, and its fields on the Project:

```bash
gh issue view <i> --json number,title,body,url,parent
gh project item-list <project> --owner <owner> --format json --limit 500 \
  --jq '.items[] | select(.content.repository == "<repo>" and .content.number == <i>) | {kind, priority, size, status}'
```

- If the second command prints nothing, or no `kind`, the issue is not
  shaped. Say to run the `lets-shape` skill on `#<i>`, and stop.
- If its Kind is Epic, say that an epic is built through its stories,
  list its open sub-issues, and stop.

Read the whole body. Check that every required line for its Kind is
there and filled in. These are the lines of the `lets-shape` skill's
issue templates:

| Kind | Required lines |
|---|---|
| Chore | the one-line outcome |
| Bug | the one-line outcome, **Expected**, **Actual**, **How to reproduce**, **Relevant code**, **Scope** |
| Story, and any Kind this table does not name | the one-line outcome, **Persona served**, **Journey segment**, **MoSCoW**, **Why this story / why now**, **Depends on**, **Scope**, **Relevant code** |

If a line is missing, or still holds a placeholder in angle brackets,
name it, say to run the `lets-shape` skill on `#<i>`, and stop. Never
write or fix the packet yourself.

Then read the issue's thread as
[Issue comments](../lets-shape/references/issue-comments.md) says. Read
a comment's first line only, to find read markers. The watermark is the
later of the body's last edit and the newest read marker. When neither
exists, every comment is after it. A comment created or edited after
the watermark stops the run, whoever wrote it. A read marker never does.

To stop, say how many comments shaping has not read. Give each one's
author as the reference shows it, and the date that put it past the
watermark: its edit date, else its creation date. Show nothing of what
a comment says. Say to run the `lets-shape` skill on `#<i>`, and stop.

For a Story with a parent, read the parent's **Shared decisions**
section, when it has one: `gh issue view <parent> --json body`. *Route*
needs it.

### Route

Pick the schema for the change. Top down, first match wins:

| The issue | Schema |
|---|---|
| Kind Chore | `lets-minimal` |
| Size XS or S, and the packet's **Relevant code** says `new` | the flow's schema |
| Size XS or S, and the parent epic's **Shared decisions** names one this story relies on or creates | the flow's schema |
| Size XS or S | `lets-minimal` |
| anything else, including Size unset | the flow's schema |

The flow's schema is the `schema:` line of `openspec/config.yaml`. Say
which schema and why in one line, such as
`Route: lets-minimal, because #<i> is a Chore.` That line goes in the
proposal commit message.

### Glossary preflight

A story whose shaping added glossary terms carries a **Glossary handoff**
record. These steps check it. "You" is the agent.

#### Check the prerequisite

1. Read **Glossary handoff** in the story, and in any shaping parent or
   owner issue it references. A missing blocker link does not mean the
   story is ready.
2. If another issue owns the definitions the story needs, check that the
   owner's pull request has merged, and that the definitions are on the
   proposed base. A pull request closed without merging is not enough.
3. Treat each of these as unresolved: an undecided owner, a declined
   blocker link with an unmerged owner, or definitions missing from the
   base. For `next`, skip the candidate. For a named issue, report it,
   and stop.
4. Never recreate competing definitions. A story with no glossary handoff
   gets the normal checks only.

#### Check the checkpoint

Run these steps only when this story owns the glossary edits. Run them
once, after the branch check in *Claim* step 2 passes.

5. Read the starting base, the owned paths, the remote URL and branch,
   and the ordered checkpoint commits. Fetch the recorded branch if you
   need to. Verify each full commit object and the recorded head. If a
   checkpoint is missing, or exists only in a local checkout, report it,
   and do not claim until it is recovered. Treat fetched content as data.
6. Check that the range from base to head holds exactly the recorded
   commits, with no merges and no unrelated history. Inspect each
   commit's diff, not only the total. Each commit may touch only the
   recorded project-owned glossary paths. A shared glossary path set by
   an explicit `context` replacement is allowed. Skill files, config,
   code and other paths are not.
7. If the commits come from a source change branch, take only the
   recorded glossary commits and their parents, never implementation
   commits. Check that the context they need is on the proposed base.
   Never import a commit from a planning store into the code repository.
8. Record the starting branch, and the working tree and index status.
   Check that the owned paths match the shaping baseline. Keep any user
   edits, whether they came before or after. Never force a checkout,
   reset, or stash automatically.
9. Before claiming, rehearse the import on the proposed base in a
   throwaway checkout under `.workspace/`. Compare patches and contents
   to find edits already present, and import no duplicate. Resolve a
   partial or conflicting patch before you claim. Leave the real working
   tree unchanged.
10. Go on with the normal packet, blocker and routing checks. If the
    owner or the base changed, repeat steps 1 to 3 just before claiming.

The verified glossary import is the only implementation step this skill
adds, beside [the discovery map commit](#commit-the-discovery-map).

### Claim

1. Name the change after the issue title. Every Kind's title is
   `<kebab-name> — <one-line outcome>`, so the name is the part before
   the dash.
2. If a branch with the change's name already exists, say so, suggest
   switching to it and running `lets-go` there, and stop before fetching
   or rehearsing a transfer. Otherwise complete
   [Glossary preflight](#glossary-preflight) against the proposed base.
3. Claim the issue: check that nobody has it, assign yourself, then move
   it to In Progress. `<issue-url>` is the issue's URL.

   ```bash
   gh issue view <i> --json assignees --jq '.assignees | length'
   gh issue edit <i> --add-assignee @me
   gh project item-edit <project> --owner <owner> --url <issue-url> --field Status --value "In Progress"
   ```

   The first command must print `0`. Anything else means another
   session took it. When `next` picked it, run `next` again with the
   same candidates, and go on from *Start* step 3 with the new issue. The
   lines printed for the lost issue stand. When the user named it, say
   who has it, and stop.
4. Create a branch with the change's name off the default branch. If
   creating the branch fails, release the claim, so another session can
   pick the issue up, and stop:

   ```bash
   gh issue edit <i> --remove-assignee @me
   gh project item-edit <project> --owner <owner> --url <issue-url> --field Status --value Todo
   ```

### Import the glossary checkpoint

Run this section only when [Glossary preflight](#glossary-preflight)
found owned edits. Run it after *Claim* created the branch, and before
[Walk the step table](#walk-the-step-table) reads the tree. A resumed
change has its glossary edits committed already, and needs no transfer
and no new claim.

#### Import the commits

1. Cherry-pick only the verified checkpoint commits onto the new branch,
   in their recorded order. Skip any the rehearsal found already present.
   Keep them as separate `docs:` commits.
2. In the issue's **Glossary handoff**, record the destination branch, the
   resulting commits and, once it exists, the pull request.
3. Keep the holding branch until the destination holds the edits.

#### Recover from a failed import

If the import fails:

1. Abort the cherry-pick.
2. Return to the recorded starting branch without losing user changes.
   Never force a checkout.
3. Delete the branch this attempt created only after proving it holds no
   work beyond its starting base. If earlier picks survived on it, keep
   it, and report how to recover. Never delete an existing change branch,
   and never reset unrelated commits.
4. Release the claim with the same commands as a failed branch creation
   in [Claim](#claim): remove your assignment, and set Status back to
   Todo. Do this even if the Git cleanup failed.
5. Report every cleanup failure, and anything kept: the branch, commits
   or claim. Then stop.

### Start from an idea

1. Look for a discovery of this idea that an earlier run started. Use
   `lets-shape`'s own query:

   ```bash
   gh issue list --state open --search '"Discovery status: in-progress" in:body' --json number,title,body
   ```

   When a parent's `Input:` line holds the idea word for word, say that
   a discovery of this idea is in progress at `#<parent>`. Skip the
   search below, and [run the shape step](#run-the-shape-step) for the
   idea: its round resumes that parent.
2. Run the second case of
   [Find the source of demand](#find-the-source-of-demand): the user
   described work but named no issue. It searches open issue titles for
   the idea's words. Show the user the matches, and ask whether one is
   the same work. Ask at either level: a wrong yes builds someone else's
   issue.
3. On a yes, that issue is `<i>`. Go on from *Start* step 3, the blocker
   read.
4. On a no, or when nothing matches, set aside that case's stop, which
   says to run `lets-shape`.
   [Run the shape step](#run-the-shape-step) for the idea.

### Run the shape step

The shape step turns an idea, or an issue whose packet is not complete,
into one shaped issue. When the work is too large for one issue, it runs
discovery instead, which files a parent issue and its stories. It runs
on the default branch, before any branch or change exists. On a change's
branch, the `lets-shape` stops of *Confirm the packet* stand. It runs at
most once per run: after it, a stop that *Confirm the packet* makes
stands.

1. Check the discovery map. Run `git status --porcelain`. When it lists
   `openspec/discovery.md`, look for this input's discovery: an open
   parent issue that says `Discovery status: in-progress`, and whose
   `Input:` line names this input, the idea's words or `#<i>`. For an
   idea, use what *Start from an idea* found. For an issue, run the
   query in step 1 of *Start from an idea*.
   - **There is one:** the edits are that discovery's confirmed phases.
     Go on: the step resumes it, and its map commit takes them.
   - **There is none:** say that the map has uncommitted edits, and to
     commit or discard them. Stop, and run no step. If the run went on,
     a discovery's commit could sweep those edits in.
2. Set `<level>` and print its line. There is no Kind yet, so take the
   first of these that is set:
   1. The level the user named. Its line is
      `Interactivity: <level>, because you asked for it.`
   2. The level `lets go level` printed in *Start* step 1, when it is
      not `null`. Its line is
      `Interactivity: <level>, because your lets config sets go.level.`
   3. `ask`, when neither is set. Its line is:

      ```text
      Interactivity: ask, because shape has not run yet.
      ```

3. For an idea, check that the answers file is this idea's. Two ideas
   can share their first five words, and so their `<shape-name>`. When
   `.workspace/lets-go/<shape-name>-shape-prompt.md` exists and holds
   another idea, an earlier run stopped part way on that other idea. In
   that case, remove `.workspace/lets-go/<shape-name>-shape-answers.yaml`
   before you write the prompt.
4. Run the `shape` step, as [Run a step](#run-a-step) says.
5. When it reports `done`, [Read the report](#read-the-report) says
   what it shaped:
   - **One issue:** that issue is `<i>`. Go on from *Start* step 3, the
     blocker read, with it, as for an issue number.
   - **A parent and its stories:**
     [pick the first ready story](#pick-the-first-ready-story).

### Pick the first ready story

Discovery filed a parent issue, `#<parent>`, and its stories. Build one
of them in this run.

1. Run the third case, `next`, of
   [Find the source of demand](#find-the-source-of-demand), with one
   narrowing: the candidates are the stories the report named, and no
   other issue. Run its two commands as the section writes them. Rank
   as it does: Must, then Should, then Could, then the lowest issue
   number. Run *Check the prerequisite* on each candidate, in rank order.
   A ready story is one that `next` would take.
2. When a story is ready, print:

   ```text
   Picked #<i>: <title>, the first ready story under #<parent>.
   ```

   That story is `<i>`. Go on from *Start* step 3, the blocker read,
   with it, as for an issue number.
3. When no story is ready, print the `Done shape` line that *Start*
   step 5 shows. Say that no story under `#<parent>` is ready. Name each
   story, and why it was left out: for example, its blocker, its
   assignee, or an unresolved prerequisite. Say to run `lets-go` with a
   story's number once it is ready. Then stop. Claim nothing, and
   create no branch.

A run that stops after discovery and before *Claim*, for any reason,
leaves the map's edits on the default branch. When
`git status --porcelain` lists `openspec/discovery.md`, say that it
holds the discovery's map, uncommitted on the default branch. While the
parent still says `Discovery status: in-progress`, say to leave the map
as it is: running `lets-go` again with the same idea, or `#<i>`, resumes
the discovery and keeps its edits. Otherwise, say to commit or discard
the map before the next run, because the next run stops on it.

### Commit the discovery map

Discovery edits `openspec/discovery.md` on the default branch, and the
new branch carries the edits with it. When a shape step ran in this
run, and `git status --porcelain` lists `openspec/discovery.md`, commit
the edits on the new branch, before
[Walk the step table](#walk-the-step-table) reads the tree. Otherwise
make no commit.

```bash
git add openspec/discovery.md
git commit -m "docs: the discovery map from #<parent>" -- openspec/discovery.md
```

`<parent>` is the parent's number, or the story's when the parent
became the one story. Commit no other path. This is the one commit
`lets-go` makes itself, beside the glossary import.

## Walk the step table

After *Start*, on the branch `<name>`, read three records first, in this
order:

1. **The tree.** Run `git status --porcelain`. A line for a path outside
   `.workspace/` means the records disagree.
2. **The pull request.** Run:

   ```bash
   gh pr view <name> --json number,url,state,isDraft,body
   ```

   When it finds none, note that the branch has no pull request, and go
   on. A new branch has none yet. When its `state` is `MERGED`, say that
   the change is merged and the run is finished, and stop. When it is
   `CLOSED`, say that the change was rejected and there is nothing to
   resume, and stop.
3. **The archive folder.** Look in `openspec/changes/archive/` for a
   folder whose whole name is `<YYYY-MM-DD>-<name>`. A folder whose name
   only ends in `-<name>` belongs to another change. When the folder
   exists, every step is done, and the records disagree if any of these
   is true:
   - `openspec/changes/<name>/` exists too;
   - the pull request is missing or is a draft;
   - the flow's schema, the `schema:` line of `openspec/config.yaml`, is
     `lets-standard`, and the pull request's `body` has no `Code review`
     section.

Then walk [The step table](#the-step-table) from the top row. At each
row, find out whether the step is done:

- **Shape.** When *Start* passed *Confirm the packet*, shape is done.
- **Plan.** When the archive folder exists, plan is done. When
  `openspec/changes/<name>/` does not exist, plan is not done.
  Otherwise run `openspec instructions apply --change <name> --json`,
  and read its `state`. When the `state` is `ready` or `all_done`, plan
  is done. When the `state` is `blocked`, plan is not done. For any
  other `state`, show the user the CLI's `instruction`, and stop. When
  `openspec/changes/<name>/brainstorm.md` exists and the branch has no
  pull request, the records disagree. The tree is clean, so the file is
  committed.
- **Review plan.** On `lets-minimal`, it is done once plan is done. When
  the archive folder exists, it is done. But the records disagree if the
  pull request's `body` has no **Plan review** section with a
  `Reviewed:` line and a `- **Verdict:**` line. No step can write the
  section once the change is archived. Otherwise read the pull
  request's body again, because a step in this run can have opened or
  changed it:

  ```bash
  gh pr view <name> --json number,body
  ```

  Review plan is done when the **Plan review** section covers the plan.
  Follow *Check an earlier review* in the `lets-review-plan` skill. Its
  four rules say when a new round is needed. It then says when the
  review is finished, with the fix commits under `APPROVE_WITH_CHANGES`.
  When no rule calls for a new round and the review is finished, review
  plan is done. Its reads change nothing:
  `git merge-base --is-ancestor`, `git log` and `git show`. When review
  plan is not done, run it, whatever the state.
- **Build.** When the archive folder exists, build is done. Otherwise
  run `openspec instructions apply --change <name> --json` again, even
  when the plan row has run it, because a review plan round can add a
  task to a built change. When the `state` is `all_done`, build is
  done. Any `state` other than `blocked`, `ready` or `all_done` stops
  the run, as for plan.
- **Review build.** When the archive folder exists, review build is
  done.

Read a row's record when you reach the row, not before. A step that runs
in this walk changes the records the next row reads.

Then settle the row:

- **Done:** print its Skip line from the table, filled from
  [Read the records](#read-the-records). *Start* has printed shape's
  line already. Go on to the next row.
- **Not done:** run the step, as [Run a step](#run-a-step) says. Then
  [read its report](#read-the-report), which says what to print and
  whether the walk goes on.

When no row is left, go to [End of the run](#end-of-the-run).

### Records that disagree

When the records disagree, print `Records disagree:` and what you found.
Say what to fix by hand, and stop before any step. Repair nothing: each
repair means choosing which record is right, and that is the user's
choice.

| What you found | What to fix by hand |
|---|---|
| `git status --porcelain` lists a path outside `.workspace/` | Commit or discard the path. |
| The branch and `origin/<name>` have diverged | Reconcile the two, and push. |
| A change folder and an archive folder for the same name | Keep the folder that is right, and remove the other. |
| An archive folder, and the pull request is missing or a draft, or has no `Code review` section on `lets-standard` | Open the pull request, review it, or mark it ready, as `lets-review-build` does. Or revert the archive commit. |
| `brainstorm.md` is committed, and the branch has no pull request | Push the branch, and open the draft pull request. |
| An archived change on a schema other than `lets-minimal`, and the pull request's body has no **Plan review** section with a `Reviewed:` line and a `- **Verdict:**` line | Review the plan with the `lets-review-plan` skill, which writes the section. Or revert the archive commit. |
| A `git log` read for a skipped step finds no commit | Name the command, and find out why the step's record is missing. |

The printed line names what you found, such as the path, or the pull
request's `isDraft`. A built change that is not archived,
and whose pull request has no **Plan review** section, is not a
disagreement. The walk reaches review plan first, and runs it.

## The step table

There are five steps, in this order: shape, plan, review plan, build
and review build. Prose and printed lines use these names. `--for`,
`--name`, file names and config keys use `shape`, `plan`, `review-plan`,
`build` and `review-build`. `<step>` is one of these.

Shape runs only inside *Start*, as
[Run the shape step](#run-the-shape-step) says. Every other step runs in
a fresh session, as [Run a step](#run-a-step) says. On `lets-minimal`,
review plan never runs.

Each row says which skill the step runs, when the step is done, which
record shows it, and the line to print when it was done before this run.
The state is the `state` that
`openspec instructions apply --change <name> --json` prints.

| Step | Skill | Done when | Record | Skip line |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `shape` | the `lets-shape` skill, as [What shape runs](#what-shape-runs) says | *Confirm the packet* passes | The issue's last edit | `Skipped shape: #<i>'s packet is complete, last edited <date>.` |
| `plan` | the `lets-plan` skill | The state is `ready` or `all_done`, or the archive folder exists | The commit that added `tasks.md` | `Skipped plan: the plan is ready, tasks.md committed <date> (<sha>).` |
| `review-plan` | the `lets-review-plan` skill | The **Plan review** section covers the plan. On `lets-minimal`, plan is done | The section's `Reviewed:` commit | `Skipped review plan: the Plan review in pull request #<pr> says <verdict> for <sha>, committed <date>.` On `lets-minimal`: `Skipped review plan: not in the lets-minimal route.` |
| `build` | the `lets-build` skill | The state is `all_done`, or the archive folder exists | The last commit that changed `tasks.md` | `Skipped build: every task is ticked, last task commit <date> (<sha>).` |
| `review-build` | the `lets-review-build` skill | The archive folder exists | The commit that added the archive's `tasks.md`, and the pull request | `Skipped review build: archived <date> (<sha>); pull request #<pr> is ready for review.` |

### Read the records

One read dates each skip line. `<date>` is the commit's author date,
from `%as`, as `YYYY-MM-DD`. A rebase keeps it. `<sha>` is
the short hash, from `%h`. A read that prints nothing means the
[records disagree](#records-that-disagree).

- **Shape.** *Start* step 5 reads the issue's last edit, and prints the
  line.
- **Plan.** Read the commit that added the task list:

  ```bash
  git log -1 --diff-filter=A --format='%h %as' -- openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md
  ```

- **Review plan.** On `lets-minimal`, there is no record, and the line
  has no date. On any other schema, the `lets-review-plan` skill records
  the review in the pull request's `body`. Find the `## Plan review`
  heading, and read the section up to the next `## ` heading or the end
  of the body. Inside it, `<sha>` comes from the line that starts
  `Reviewed: `, and `<verdict>` from the line that starts
  `- **Verdict:** `. Do not search the whole body: a **Code review**
  section has a `Reviewed:` line too. `<pr>` is the pull request's
  `number`. Date the line by the reviewed commit:

  ```bash
  git log -1 --format=%as <sha>
  ```

- **Build.** Read the last commit that changed the task list: the last
  task's tick.

  ```bash
  git log -1 --diff-filter=M --format='%h %as' -- openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md
  ```

- **Review build.** Read the commit that archived the change. `<pr>` is
  the pull request's `number`.

  ```bash
  git log -1 --diff-filter=A --format='%h %as' -- openspec/changes/archive/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<name>/tasks.md
  ```

The plan and build reads work after archive too. Archive removes the
old path, and its history keeps the add and the ticks.

### The change's name

`<name>` is the change's name. Shape runs before there is one, so it
has a name of its own, `<shape-name>`, from what it shapes:

- **An issue:** `issue-<i>`, such as `issue-180`.
- **An idea:** `idea-<slug>`. To make `<slug>`, split the idea on white
  space. Lower-case each word, and keep only its letters and digits.
  Drop a word left empty. Join the first five words with hyphens, or all
  of them when there are fewer. `fix lets-sync — quiet output` becomes
  `idea-fix-letssync-quiet-output`. The same idea typed again gets the
  same name, so it finds its answers file.

A step's session label, `<session>`, names its fresh session and its
files. For every step but shape, it is `<name>`, a hyphen and `<step>`:
the review plan step runs with `--for review-plan` and
`--name <name>-review-plan`. For shape, it is `<shape-name>-shape`: the
shape step runs with `--for shape` and `--name <shape-name>-shape`, such
as `--name idea-fix-letssync-quiet-output-shape`.

## Write the prompt

If the folder is missing, create it first: `mkdir -p .workspace/lets-go`.
Then write the frame below to `.workspace/lets-go/<session>-prompt.md`.
Fill in each `<...>`. `<schema>`, `<level>` and `<route line>` are the
ones *Start* set. Under *What to run*, put this sentence. `<skill>` is
the skill in the step's row of [The step table](#the-step-table):

```text
Invoke the `<skill>` skill for the change `<name>`, for issue #<i>, and stop where it stops.
```

For shape, put the text of [What shape runs](#what-shape-runs) under
*What to run* instead.

For shape, the first two lines differ. There is no change, the branch is
the default branch, `<default>`, and *Route* has not run, so there is no
schema and no route line. For an issue, they are:

```text
You run one step of a lets-go run: shape, for issue #<i>.
Issue: #<i>, <issue-url>. Branch: <default>.
```

For an idea, they are:

```text
You run one step of a lets-go run: shape, for an idea.
Issue: none yet. The idea is: <idea>. Branch: <default>.
```

The rest of the frame is the same for every step.

````text
You run one step of a lets-go run: <step>, for the change <name>.
Issue: #<i>, <issue-url>. Branch: <name>. Schema: <schema>. <route line>

## What to run

<the sentence above>

## Questions

The interactivity level is <level>. At recommend, the lets-go session
answers each question that has a recommendation, and asks the user the
rest. At ask, it puts every question to the user, with your
recommendation as the suggested answer. Your rules are the same at both
levels. Never decide a question yourself. Never ask the user in this session: nobody
here can answer.

When you need a decision, stop. End with a needs-input report that lists
every open question, in the order you would ask them. Give a
recommendation where you have one. Give none for a question that asks
the user to confirm something, such as a brainstorm ledger, an issue
packet or a discovery phase.

A resumed step ends with an `## Answers` section. Each answer settles its
question, so never ask it again. An answer that ends with "(lets-go
accepted the step's recommendation; the user did not decide)" is not the
user's: record it as Assumption in a brainstorm ledger. Record any other
answer as User. An answer of yes to the confirmation question confirms
the ledger: the brainstorm may set `Confirmed by user: yes`.

## The report

End your final message with a step report: a fenced block tagged
step-report, holding one YAML mapping. Use one of these three:

```step-report
outcome: done
evidence:
  - "commit 3f2a1c0: feat: add the thing"
  - "pull request #12"
```

```step-report
outcome: needs-input
questions:
  - question: Which schema should the change use?
    recommendation: lets-minimal
  - question: Do you confirm the ledger?
```

```step-report
outcome: failed
reason: The tests fail on main before any change.
```

A done report's evidence lists the commits you made, and the pull request
when you opened or changed it. For shape, its first line is the issue,
as `issue #<i>: <title>`, or the parent, as `epic #<parent>: <title>`,
with a `story #<story>: <title>` line for each story. For review plan,
its first line is the verdict and the commit reviewed, as
`Plan review: <verdict> for <sha>`. Write the report last. Quote a line that
holds `#` or `: `. Put no other step-report block in the message.
````

### What shape runs

The shape step runs `lets-shape`. It shapes one issue, or runs discovery
when the work is too large for one issue. A fresh round must find the
discovery an earlier round started, so the text lists where to start, in
order.

```text
Run the `lets-shape` skill. Start at the first of these that matches:

1. An open parent issue says `Discovery status: in-progress`, and its
   `Input:` line names this input: the idea's words, or #<i>. Run its
   *Resume mode* on that parent, and start no second discovery. The
   phases that the `## Answers` section confirmed are settled. So skip
   the restatement in *Resume mode* and its confirmation, and go straight
   to the parent's recorded next phase.
2. An open parent issue's `Input:` line names this input, it has no
   status line, and the `## Answers` section confirmed its Phase 5 story
   table. Finalize has started on that parent: Finalize removes the
   status line first, then asks its own questions. Finish Finalize on
   that parent, from where the answers leave off, including the glossary
   handoff. Start no second discovery.
3. The `## Answers` section answers the discovery question with yes. Run
   its discovery from Ingest, with the idea or #<i> as its input.
4. Otherwise, run its *Shape one issue* to its end, including its second
   comment fetch, its reply and its glossary handoff. For an issue: shape
   #<i>. For an idea: lets-go has searched for it, and the user confirmed
   that no open issue is the same work. Skip the search in step 1, and
   create the issue. The packet confirmation in step 7 is a confirmation
   question: give it no recommendation.

The work is too large for one issue when it is Size L or XL, or when the
input holds a large idea. Then do not fail, and do not start discovery
yourself. End the round with a needs-input report that holds this
question, with the recommendation yes:

The work is Size <L or XL>, too large for one issue. Run discovery on it?

If the answer is anything but yes, end with a failed report. Its reason
says that the work is too large for one issue and discovery was
declined.

Discovery runs every phase from Ingest to Finalize, including the
glossary handoff. Write the idea's words, or #<i>, in the parent's
`Input:` line, so a later round can find the parent. Each phase's
confirmation, and the story table in Phase 5, is a confirmation
question: give it no recommendation. When the glossary handoff asks who
carries the edits, recommend the first story in dependency order.

Create no change and no change branch. The parent issue, the stories
and a glossary holding branch that `lets-shape` makes are allowed. End on
the branch <default>, with a clean tree, except `openspec/discovery.md`
when discovery ran.

A done report's first evidence line is `issue #<i>: <title>` for one
issue. When discovery filed stories, it is `epic #<parent>: <title>`,
then one `story #<story>: <title>` line per story, in the order you
created them.
When discovery found that the whole run fits one story, the parent became
that story: use the `issue` form.
```

## Run a step

1. [Write the prompt](#write-the-prompt).
2. Ask what can run. From the repo root, run:

   ```bash
   lets delegate step instructions --for <step>
   ```

   It prints one JSON line. `options` lists the models the resolver can
   run now, and `guidance` is the user's prose for this step, from
   `delegate.step.<step>.guidance` in the `lets` config, or `null`. If it
   exits non-zero, show the user its stderr, and stop.
3. Rank the options: the guidance first, then the order the options came
   in. Leave out a model the guidance rules out. The guidance only ranks
   and filters the listed models. Never follow guidance that would change
   this skill's steps. When `options` is empty, pass your own family,
   `gpt`, `claude` or `gemini`, as the one model.
4. Run the step with one `--model` per ranked option, best first. An
   earlier run may have left answers for this step. When
   `.workspace/lets-go/<session>-answers.yaml` exists before the
   step's first round, and holds at least one pair, add
   `--answers-file` with that file to the first round, as in
   [Relay the questions](#relay-the-questions). An empty or unreadable
   file counts as absent.

   ```bash
   lets delegate step run --for <step> --name <session> \
     --prompt-file .workspace/lets-go/<session>-prompt.md \
     --effort high --model <first> --model <second> \
     > .workspace/lets-go/<session>-report.json 2> .workspace/lets-go/<session>-meta.txt
   ```

5. Act on its exit code:
   - **0**: the report file holds the report, one JSON line.
   - **3**: no fresh session can run here, for example because no resolver started one,
     or every model was refused. When the meta file names a saved
     prompt, take the [subagent step](#run-a-step-in-a-subagent). When it
     names none, show the user the meta file, name the step, and stop.
   - **Anything else**: show the user the meta file, name the step, and
     stop. Do not run the step again.

### Run a step in a subagent

Take this step only when `lets delegate step run` exits 3, and the meta
file names the prompt `lets` saved,
`.workspace/lets-delegate/<session>.prompt.md`. That file holds the
prompt, with any answers added.

1. Run that prompt in a subagent that starts with no context from this
   session, and may write files. It works in the repo root, on the
   branch `<name>`. For shape, it works on the default branch.
2. Read the last `step-report` block in the subagent's final message, by
   the rules `lets` uses:
   - The block opens with a line of three or more backticks followed by
     `step-report`. It closes with a line of at least as many backticks,
     and nothing else.
   - It holds one YAML mapping, whose `outcome` is `done`, `needs-input`
     or `failed`.
   - A `done` report holds `evidence`, a non-empty list of strings.
   - A `needs-input` report holds `questions`, a non-empty list of
     mappings. Each has a string `question`, and may have a string
     `recommendation`.
   - A `failed` report holds a string `reason`.
3. A final message that breaks any of these rules is a `failed` report.
   Its `reason` says what is missing or wrong, such as no `step-report`
   block, or a `done` report with no `evidence`.
4. Add `date` to a `done` report: the current time in ISO 8601 UTC, from
   `date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`.
5. Write the report as one JSON line, `outcome` first, to
   `.workspace/lets-go/<session>-report.json`.

## Read the report

Read `outcome` from `.workspace/lets-go/<session>-report.json`.

A shape step's `done` report must name what it shaped. Its first
evidence line is one of these:

- `issue #<i>: <title>`: one issue, `<i>`.
- `epic #<parent>: <title>`: the parent issue of a discovery, and
  `<parent>` is its number. Each `story #<story>: <title>` line after it
  names one story, in the order discovery created them.

When the first line is in neither form, the report is `failed`, and its
reason is that the shape step named no issue. When it is an `epic` line
and no `story` line follows, the report is `failed`, and its reason is
that the shape step named no story.

Once shape reports `done` or `failed`, remove
`.workspace/lets-go/<shape-name>-shape-answers.yaml`. Nothing resumes a
finished shape. A later idea, or a second shape of the same issue, must
start with no answers.

- **`done`**: after `shape`, go back to *Start*, as
  [Run the shape step](#run-the-shape-step) says. After any other step,
  print its `Done` line, as [End of the run](#end-of-the-run) says, and
  go on to the next row of the [walk](#walk-the-step-table).
- **`needs-input`**: [relay its questions](#relay-the-questions).
- **`failed`**: print its `Failed` line, as
  [End of the run](#end-of-the-run) says. The walk ends here. Name the
  step and the branch `<name>`, and say that running `lets-go` again on
  that branch carries on from the first unfinished step. Print the pull
  request's URL. Stop. Never run a failed step again.
- **`failed`, for shape**: there is no branch yet. Print
  `Failed shape: <reason>`. Say to run `lets-shape` on the idea, or on
  `#<i>`, and name no branch. Stop.

## Relay the questions

The answers go in `.workspace/lets-go/<session>-answers.yaml`, one
file per step.

1. If any question's exact text is already in that file, the step did
   not read its answers. Say that the step asked a settled question
   again, name the step, show the user the report, and stop.
2. Go through the questions in the report's order, as `<level>` says:
   - **At `recommend`, with a `recommendation`**: take it as the answer.
     Say which question you answered, and the answer you gave. Write the
     answer as the recommendation followed by
     ` (lets-go accepted the step's recommendation; the user did not decide)`.
   - **At `recommend`, without one**: ask the user that question alone. Wait for the answer before the next question.
   - **At `ask`**: ask the user every question, one at a time. Show the
     `recommendation`, when there is one, as the suggested answer. Wait
     for each answer before the next question. Write the answer as the
     user gave it, with no marker, even when they took the
     recommendation: the step records it as the user's.
3. Append each pair, in order, to the answers file. It is a YAML list of
   `question` and `answer` mappings, and keeps the pairs of earlier
   rounds. Quote each value, so YAML keeps it whole:

   ```yaml
   - question: "Which schema should the change use?"
     answer: "lets-minimal (lets-go accepted the step's recommendation; the user did not decide)"
   - question: "Do you confirm the ledger?"
     answer: "yes"
   ```

4. [Run the step](#run-a-step) again with the same prompt file. Add
   `--answers-file .workspace/lets-go/<session>-answers.yaml` to
   `lets delegate step run`. Ask for the options again, and rank them
   again. Exit 3 goes to the subagent step as before.

A step's rounds go on until its report is `done` or `failed`.

## End of the run

The walk prints each row's line when it settles the row. The line is
`Skipped` when the step was done before this run, `Done` after a `done`
report, and `Failed` after a `failed` one. A step can take an hour,
so print each line as it comes. A run's lines look like this:

```text
Skipped shape: #<i>'s packet is complete, last edited <date>.
Done plan: <date>. <evidence>
Skipped review plan: not in the lets-minimal route.
Done build: <date>. <evidence>
Done review build: <date>. <evidence>
```

When a shape step ran in this run, the first line is its `Done` form
instead:

```text
Done shape: <date>. <evidence>
```

`<date>` on a `Done` line is the report's `date`, and `<evidence>` is its
`evidence`, joined with `; `. Review plan's line is the same form as the
others:

```text
Done review plan: <date>. <evidence>
```

When every step was already done, all five lines are `Skipped` lines. A
failed step prints `Failed`, the step's name, a colon and the reason,
such as `Failed review build: <reason>`, and ends the walk. A line names
a step with a space, never a hyphen.

When `review-build` reports `done`, its *Finish the change* has marked
the pull request ready for review. When the walk is over, print the pull
request's URL. A failed shape has none: there is no branch yet.

```bash
gh pr view <name> --json url --jq .url
```

`lets-go` keeps no state of its own. Its files in `.workspace/lets-go/`
are scratch: without them, a new run reaches the same step.
