Execution Notes

  • Implemented v2.0 protocol preserving the docs/project_management path.

  • Updated project-manager skill to include the "Restore Protocol" and "STOP" trigger.
  • Created experiments/archive for spike retention.

User Approval & Key Learnings

Key Learnings

  • Explicit Agency: Adding "STOP" instructions to the skill significantly improves agent controllability.
  • Context Management: The "Rolling Log" and "Restore Protocol" concepts are critical for long-running projects.
  • Documentation Hygiene: Separating "Transition" (Logs) from "State" (Architecture) resolves the "Source of Truth" conflict.

Context Memory (AI-Only)

Summary for Future Context

Upgraded Project Management Protocol to v2.0. Key features: Rolling L2 logs, explicit "STOP" before L3 implementation, clear distinction between Work Logs (Transition) and Architecture Docs (State), and a formal "Restore Protocol" for context recovery. Updated protocol.md and project-manager skill.
