Workspace-Hub Mission Contract — First Packet Pattern
Use this when the user wants to revise repo missions across the workspace ecosystem and approve them one by one.
When to use
- User asks for repo mission analysis across multiple repos
- User wants a repo-by-repo approval sequence
- You need a first approval packet before touching downstream repo missions
- The work touches llm-wiki architecture but must not prematurely decide embedded vs spinout boundaries
Core pattern
- Start with
workspace-hub, not downstream repos.
- Before creating a new GitHub issue, search for an existing open parent issue covering the control-plane / ecosystem contract.
- If
#1525 (Define canonical repo control-plane contract across workspace ecosystem) is still open, reuse it instead of creating a duplicate mission issue.
- Draft the local plan under
docs/plans/ and add the row to docs/plans/README.md.
- Run adversarial review before surfacing for approval.
- Expect the first draft to fail if verification is subjective; tighten it into deterministic checks.
Recommended Wave-1 scope
Lock the first packet to:
workspace-hub = control planedigitalmodel = engineering computation coreassetutilities = shared utility substrateaceengineer-website = GTM / externalization layer
Explicitly defer worldenergydata to Wave 2 unless the plan intentionally expands scope.
Critical review hardening learned in practice
Cross-provider reviewers objected to these weak patterns:
- subjective tests like “docs use consistent terminology”
- llm-wiki neutrality stated only as intent
- mixed in-scope / deferred downstream repo language
- unverified supporting report references
Fix them before trying to get approval:
1. Make verification deterministic
Add a concrete validation artifact, e.g.:
scripts/validation/check_workspace_hub_mission_contract.py
That validator should check required / forbidden phrases across the reconciled mission docs.
2. Use a literal llm-wiki neutrality guardrail
Require the exact phrase:
repo-boundary architecture remains under evaluation per #2398
Also forbid wording that declares llm-wiki permanently embedded or spun out.
3. Verify every cited local input artifact
If the plan cites a supporting report like:
docs/reports/2026-04-21-repo-mission-revision-sequence.md
include it in the embedded evidence block as EXISTS.
4. Keep artifact map unambiguous
If one report contains multiple sections (mission contract, downstream role map, glossary, llm-wiki guardrails), list it as one artifact with named sections, not multiple artifacts pointing to the same file.
First-packet files usually in scope
README.mddocs/README.mddocs/BUSINESS_BRAIN.mddocs/WORKSPACE_HUB_REPOSITORY_OVERVIEW.md- new canonical report such as
docs/reports/workspace-hub-mission-contract.md
- validator such as
scripts/validation/check_workspace_hub_mission_contract.py
Recommended acceptance criteria shape
Include all of these explicitly:
- canonical mission contract file exists
- deterministic validation script exists
- reconciled docs pass the validator
workspace-hub control-plane role is explicitdigitalmodel, assetutilities, and aceengineer-website roles are explicitworldenergydata is explicitly deferred if not in scope- literal
#2398 neutrality phrase is present
- non-goals are explicit
docs/plans/README.md row exists- review artifacts exist
Operational note
If the first review wave returns mixed results like Codex/Codex MAJOR and Gemini APPROVE, do not surface the plan as approval-ready. Patch the plan immediately, update the ## Adversarial Review Summary, and rerun cross-review.
