Synchronize the README.md Command Center with the current project state after gate advancement or EPIC status changes.
| Element | Definition | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Lifecycle Stage | Current PRD version from PRD.md | Current Lifecycle Gate: v0.X |
| Gate Status | Visual progress indicators | 🟢 Complete / 🟡 In Progress / ⚪ Pending |
| Active EPIC | Current work from EPIC header | EPIC-XX: Title |
| Blockers | Open blockers from EPIC Session State section | List with severity |
Read these files in order:
README.md (current state)PRD.md (metadata block for lifecycle stage)Pull authoritative values:
| Field | Source |
|---|---|
| Lifecycle Stage | PRD.md Current Lifecycle Gate |
| Gate Progress | PRD.md gate table |
| Active EPIC | README.md Active Work section |
| Blockers | EPIC Session State section |
| Metrics | README.md Truth Table |
Apply synchronization rules:
squad-status): Update agent and EPIC tables:
.claude/agents/: check MEMORY.md mtime for "Last Active", grep EPICs for agent name for "Current EPIC"epics/: read State field, Epic Lead, and Change Log last dateactive (session <2h old), idle (no recent activity), blocked (blocker in session state)| Pattern | Example | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Stale gate status | 🟢 on gate with missing criteria | → Verify all criteria before marking complete |
| Missing blockers | EPIC has blockers, README shows none | → Always sync from EPIC Session State section |
| Wrong EPIC reference | README points to closed EPIC | → Check EPIC status before updating |

After status sync completes:
Validates gate criteria before PRD lifecycle advancement by delegating to the readiness scoring pipeline (scripts/readiness.py). Returns a graduated PASS / WARN / BLOCK verdict with top blockers and their causal chain. Triggers before advancing from v0.X to v0.Y or explicit `/ghm-gate-check`.
Transform v0.6 specifications into context-window-sized work packages (EPICs) during PRD v0.7 Build Execution. Triggers on requests to create epics, scope work, break down implementation, or when user asks "create epics", "scope work", "break down work", "context window sizing", "what to build first?", "implementation planning", "epic breakdown". Consumes API-, DBT-, FEA-, ARC-. Outputs EPIC- entries with objectives, ID references, dependencies, and context windows. Feeds v0.7 Test Planning.
Execute implementation within EPICs following test-first development, continuous SoT updates, and code traceability during PRD v0.7 Build Execution. Triggers on requests to start building, implement an epic, begin coding, or when user asks "start building", "implement epic", "coding", "development", "build execution", "implementation", "write code". Consumes EPIC- (context), TEST- (acceptance criteria). Updates existing IDs and creates code. Outputs working code with @implements traceability tags.
Define test cases BEFORE implementation, ensuring every API, business rule, and user journey has verifiable acceptance criteria during PRD v0.7 Build Execution. Triggers on requests to define tests, plan test coverage, create test cases, or when user asks "define tests", "test planning", "what to test?", "test cases", "test coverage", "TEST-", "test-first". Consumes EPIC- (scope), API-, DBT-, BR-, UJ-. Outputs TEST- entries with Given-When-Then format. Feeds v0.7 Implementation Loop.
Extracts durable insights from temp/ files to SoT during EPIC Phase E. Triggers at EPIC completion or explicit `/ghm-harvest` invocation. Outputs new SoT entries and archive manifest.
Validates and registers new SoT IDs with cross-reference integrity. Triggers when creating BR-XXX, UJ-XXX, API-XXX, or CFD-XXX entries. Outputs formatted SoT entry with validated cross-references.
