ICM Sync

Scan the current workspace and re-sync the ICM routing files (IDENTITY.md and CONTEXT.md) so any LLM session can navigate the workspace correctly.

Step 1: Locate ICM Root

Find the workspace root by searching upward from the current directory for IDENTITY.md. If no IDENTITY.md exists, report: "No ICM workspace found. Run /icm-scaffold first." and stop.

Read these files to understand what is currently documented:

IDENTITY.md — folder map tree, rules, any stage or project tables
CONTEXT.md — routing table, session start protocol, pipeline stages (virtual or physical)
CLAUDE.md (if it exists) — model adapter synced from IDENTITY.md

Step 2: Scan the Actual Workspace

List the workspace contents on disk:

Note every folder and key file at the root level
For each folder mentioned in IDENTITY.md, list its current subfolders
For stage folders (if full mode), list each stage's contents
For _config/ and references/ folders, list files present

Step 3: Diff — Find Gaps

Compare what's on disk vs. what's documented in IDENTITY.md and CONTEXT.md. Identify:

New items (on disk, NOT in IDENTITY.md):

New top-level folders
New subfolders inside documented folders
New _config/ or references/ files
New stage folders (full mode)

Stale items (in IDENTITY.md, NOT on disk):

Folder paths in the map that no longer exist
Stage folders referenced in routing that were removed
_config/ files listed that were deleted

Routing drift (CONTEXT.md references paths that don't exist):

Routing table entries pointing to missing folders
Virtual stage inputs referencing deleted files
Session start protocol referencing files that moved

Status drift (may need updating):

Projects or sections marked as one status but clearly changed (e.g., empty folder now has real content)

Step 4: Resolve New Items

For each new folder or file found that isn't in IDENTITY.md:

If it has a CONTEXT.md or README.md: read it to determine purpose. If it doesn't: infer from folder name and contents.

Assign a one-line description and annotate with the appropriate ICM layer:

# Layer 2 — stage contract for stage folders
# Layer 3 — reference material for _config/ and references/
# Layer 4 — working artifacts for output/ folders
No annotation for non-ICM folders

If a folder's purpose is genuinely unclear, note it as "needs classification" with a [?] placeholder — do NOT skip it.

Step 5: Update IDENTITY.md (Layer 0)

If argument is lint: skip this step and report only. If argument is update or no argument: apply all changes.

Folder map updates:

Add new folders in the correct position within the tree
Mark removed folders with # [REMOVED - verify] rather than deleting outright
Update inline comments on changed folders

Stage/project table updates (if present):

Add new rows for new stages or sections
Flag stale paths with ⚠️

Do not change:

The opening line (project name + description)
The Rules section (unless rules reference deleted paths)

Token constraint: Keep IDENTITY.md under 1,500 tokens. If adding items would exceed this, note in the report: "IDENTITY.md is near token budget — consider splitting into sub-workspace IDENTITY files."

Step 6: Update CONTEXT.md (Layer 1)

Routing table:

Add rows for any new folders that have their own CONTEXT.md
Remove or flag rows pointing to deleted folders
Update file paths in virtual stage definitions if files moved

Pipeline stages (if applicable):

For virtual stages: verify that every input file path still exists. Flag broken paths.
For physical stages: verify each stage folder exists. Flag missing ones.
For compilation pipelines: verify the section-to-source mapping table entries still match actual source locations.

Session start protocol: Keep unchanged unless it references deleted files.

Step 7: Sync Model Adapters

If any model adapter files exist (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .windsurfrules):

Compare their content against IDENTITY.md
If they differ from IDENTITY.md (beyond the auto-generated header comment): flag as "out of sync"
If argument is update: regenerate them from IDENTITY.md with the appropriate header comment

Step 8: Check Sub-Workspace Routing

For every subfolder that has its own CONTEXT.md (excluding the root), check whether the file is stale:

A CONTEXT.md is stale if:

Its folder structure section lists folders that no longer exist on disk
Its folder structure section is missing folders that now exist
Its routing table references files that were moved or deleted

If argument is update: make targeted edits (add missing, flag removed). Do NOT rewrite the entire file. If argument is lint: report which files are stale and what changed.

Folders to skip

Build output folders (build/, dist/, .next/, node_modules/)
Git/config folders (.git/, .vscode/)
Folders using _index.md for routing instead of CONTEXT.md

Step 9: Check Index Files

For every _config/ or references/ folder that has an _index.md:

Verify every file listed in the index still exists
Check for files on disk not listed in the index
If argument is update: add missing entries, flag removed ones
If argument is lint: report drift

For folders that exceed ~10 files but have no _index.md:

Flag as "needs index file" in the report

Step 10: Report

Always output a summary, whether lint or update mode:

## ICM Sync Report — YYYY-MM-DD

### IDENTITY.md updates
- Added: [folder/file] — [description]
- Flagged stale: [folder/file] — [reason]

### CONTEXT.md updates
- Added route: [task] → [destination]
- Flagged broken: [route] — [reason]
- Pipeline input verified / broken: [details]

### Model adapters
- [file] — in sync / out of sync / regenerated

### Sub-workspace CONTEXT.md
- [folder/CONTEXT.md] — refreshed / up to date / stale (lint mode)

### Index files
- [folder/_index.md] — updated / up to date / needs creation

### Needs classification
- [folder] — found on disk, purpose unclear

### No changes needed
[if nothing changed]

If in update mode, confirm: "ICM routing files have been updated." If in lint mode, confirm: "No files were changed. Run /icm-sync update to apply."

ICM Sync

Scan the current workspace and re-sync the ICM routing files (IDENTITY.md and CONTEXT.md) so any LLM session can navigate the workspace correctly.

Step 1: Locate ICM Root

Find the workspace root by searching upward from the current directory for IDENTITY.md. If no IDENTITY.md exists, report: "No ICM workspace found. Run /icm-scaffold first." and stop.

Read these files to understand what is currently documented:

IDENTITY.md — folder map tree, rules, any stage or project tables
CONTEXT.md — routing table, session start protocol, pipeline stages (virtual or physical)
CLAUDE.md (if it exists) — model adapter synced from IDENTITY.md

Step 2: Scan the Actual Workspace

List the workspace contents on disk:

Note every folder and key file at the root level
For each folder mentioned in IDENTITY.md, list its current subfolders
For stage folders (if full mode), list each stage's contents
For _config/ and references/ folders, list files present

Step 3: Diff — Find Gaps

Compare what's on disk vs. what's documented in IDENTITY.md and CONTEXT.md. Identify:

New items (on disk, NOT in IDENTITY.md):

New top-level folders
New subfolders inside documented folders
New _config/ or references/ files
New stage folders (full mode)

Stale items (in IDENTITY.md, NOT on disk):

Folder paths in the map that no longer exist
Stage folders referenced in routing that were removed
_config/ files listed that were deleted

Routing drift (CONTEXT.md references paths that don't exist):

Routing table entries pointing to missing folders
Virtual stage inputs referencing deleted files
Session start protocol referencing files that moved

Status drift (may need updating):

Projects or sections marked as one status but clearly changed (e.g., empty folder now has real content)

Step 4: Resolve New Items

For each new folder or file found that isn't in IDENTITY.md:

If it has a CONTEXT.md or README.md: read it to determine purpose. If it doesn't: infer from folder name and contents.

Assign a one-line description and annotate with the appropriate ICM layer:

# Layer 2 — stage contract for stage folders
# Layer 3 — reference material for _config/ and references/
# Layer 4 — working artifacts for output/ folders
No annotation for non-ICM folders

If a folder's purpose is genuinely unclear, note it as "needs classification" with a [?] placeholder — do NOT skip it.

Step 5: Update IDENTITY.md (Layer 0)

If argument is lint: skip this step and report only. If argument is update or no argument: apply all changes.

Folder map updates:

Add new folders in the correct position within the tree
Mark removed folders with # [REMOVED - verify] rather than deleting outright
Update inline comments on changed folders

Stage/project table updates (if present):

Add new rows for new stages or sections
Flag stale paths with ⚠️

Do not change:

The opening line (project name + description)
The Rules section (unless rules reference deleted paths)

Step 6: Update CONTEXT.md (Layer 1)

Routing table:

Add rows for any new folders that have their own CONTEXT.md
Remove or flag rows pointing to deleted folders
Update file paths in virtual stage definitions if files moved

Pipeline stages (if applicable):

For virtual stages: verify that every input file path still exists. Flag broken paths.
For physical stages: verify each stage folder exists. Flag missing ones.
For compilation pipelines: verify the section-to-source mapping table entries still match actual source locations.

Session start protocol: Keep unchanged unless it references deleted files.

Step 7: Sync Model Adapters

If any model adapter files exist (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .windsurfrules):

Compare their content against IDENTITY.md
If they differ from IDENTITY.md (beyond the auto-generated header comment): flag as "out of sync"
If argument is update: regenerate them from IDENTITY.md with the appropriate header comment

Step 8: Check Sub-Workspace Routing

For every subfolder that has its own CONTEXT.md (excluding the root), check whether the file is stale:

A CONTEXT.md is stale if:

Its folder structure section lists folders that no longer exist on disk
Its folder structure section is missing folders that now exist
Its routing table references files that were moved or deleted

If argument is update: make targeted edits (add missing, flag removed). Do NOT rewrite the entire file. If argument is lint: report which files are stale and what changed.

Folders to skip

Build output folders (build/, dist/, .next/, node_modules/)
Git/config folders (.git/, .vscode/)
Folders using _index.md for routing instead of CONTEXT.md

Step 9: Check Index Files

For every _config/ or references/ folder that has an _index.md:

Verify every file listed in the index still exists
Check for files on disk not listed in the index
If argument is update: add missing entries, flag removed ones
If argument is lint: report drift

For folders that exceed ~10 files but have no _index.md:

Flag as "needs index file" in the report

Step 10: Report

Always output a summary, whether lint or update mode:

## ICM Sync Report — YYYY-MM-DD

### IDENTITY.md updates
- Added: [folder/file] — [description]
- Flagged stale: [folder/file] — [reason]

### CONTEXT.md updates

- Pipeline input verified / broken: [details]

### Model adapters
- [file] — in sync / out of sync / regenerated

### Sub-workspace CONTEXT.md
- [folder/CONTEXT.md] — refreshed / up to date / stale (lint mode)

### Index files
- [folder/_index.md] — updated / up to date / needs creation

### Needs classification
- [folder] — found on disk, purpose unclear

### No changes needed
[if nothing changed]

If in update mode, confirm: "ICM routing files have been updated." If in lint mode, confirm: "No files were changed. Run /icm-sync update to apply."
