C3 Alter - Change Through ADR

Every change flows through an ADR. No exceptions.

REQUIRED: Load References First

  1. ../../references/skill-harness.md - Routing and red flags
  2. ../../references/layer-navigation.md - How to traverse C3 docs

Core Loop (All Stages)

ANALYZE → ASK (until confident) → SYNTHESIZE → REVIEW
              │                        │
              └── until no open ───────┘
                  questions

On conflict: ASCEND → fix earlier stage → re-descend

Confident = No open questions. Don't proceed with "TODO" or unclear fields.


Stage 1: Intent

| Step | Action | |------|--------| | Analyze | Add/modify/remove/fix? What problem? Scope hint? | | Ask | Use AskUserQuestion: feature vs fix? problem? urgency? | | Synthesize | Intent: [action] Goal: [outcome] Type: [feature/fix/refactor] | | Review | User confirms or corrects |


Stage 2: Current State

| Step | Action | |------|--------| | Analyze | Read affected C3 docs via layer navigation | | Ask | Are docs accurate? Recent code changes not documented? | | Synthesize | List affected components, their current behavior, dependencies | | Review | User confirms or corrects |


Stage 3: Scope Impact

| Step | Action | |------|--------| | Analyze | Which layers change? Dependencies? Linkages? Diagrams? | | Ask | External systems involved? Breaking changes? Keep or replace? | | Synthesize | List all affected c3 IDs, note breaking changes | | Review | User confirms or expands |


Stage 4: Create ADR

Generate at .c3/adr/adr-YYYYMMDD-{slug}.md. Use ../../references/adr-template.md.

Key sections: Problem, Decision, Rationale, Affected Layers, References Affected, Verification

| On Accept | Update status to accepted, proceed to Plan | |-----------|---------------------------------------------| | On Reject | Return to Stage 1/3 based on what changed |


Stage 5: Create Plan

Generate at .c3/adr/adr-YYYYMMDD-{slug}.plan.md.

Include:

  • Pre-execution checklist (update ## References in affected components)
  • Ordered steps: docs first, then code, then diagrams
  • Verification commands

Stage 6: Execute

Follow plan order:

  1. Make change (doc or code)
  2. Check for conflicts
  3. Update ## References if code moved/added/removed

On conflict - Tiered response:

| Impact | Action | |--------|--------| | High: scope expansion, breaking change, new layer | Ask user, update ADR if needed | | Low: wording fix, diagram update, ID fix | Auto-fix, note in log |

Ref Maintenance

If change affects a pattern:

  1. Check if ref-* exists for pattern
  2. Update ref if pattern changes
  3. Create new ref if pattern is new and reusable

Stage 7: Verify

Run /c3 audit. Check diagrams, IDs, linkages, code-doc match.

| On Pass | Update ADR status to implemented | |---------|-----------------------------------| | On Fail | Fix issue, re-audit, loop until pass |


Response Format

**Stage N: {Name}**
{findings}
**Open Questions:** {list or "None - confident"}
**Next:** {what happens next}
