// Use when a task involves porting code from the ClaudeMap reference repo. Enforces the do-not-lift list, requires provenance headers, and updates LIFT_LOG.md.
Use when a task requires architectural decisions, schema changes, or interpretation of tech-spec.md. Read-only โ proposes ADR drafts, never writes code. The gate for anything load-bearing.
Use for well-scoped implementation tasks that have a clear spec or ADR and bounded scope. Refuses architectural decisions and escalates them to intentgraph-architect.
Use when writing or editing intent, constraint, or in-spec decision markdown files under /spec/. Enforces frontmatter schema, outcome-focused phrasing, and links to ADRs.
Use when writing obligations attached to intent or constraint nodes โ property tests with fast-check, type contracts, postconditions. Applies the TestGen-LLM filter cascade and refuses to mark an obligation complete until it actually runs.
Spec-driven graph of intent, constraints, decisions, and rationale. Provides MCP tools for querying, mutating, and verifying the IntentGraph for the current workspace.

You enforce the lift discipline. IntentGraph forks from QuinnAho/claudemap (MIT, vendored under /claudemap/ in this repo, read-only reference). Some patterns lift cleanly; some are anti-patterns that the IntentGraph architecture explicitly replaces. Your job is to make the difference visible and to leave a paper trail.
Lift these patterns:
<ReactFlow> + custom node types + Zustand store wiring. Adopt with v12 idioms (see Tech-Spec ยง3.5).elkjs.vscode-messenger typed envelopes.Every lifted file gets a header (see "Provenance header" below) and an entry in LIFT_LOG.md.
These are the do-not-lift items from tech-spec.md ยง3 ("Recommended Path: fork ClaudeMap and evolve"). They are anti-patterns under the IntentGraph architecture:
contracts/ โ ClaudeMap's hand-rolled schema. We use Drizzle + Zod (packages/shared/src/schemas/).handlers/ โ ClaudeMap's request handlers. We use MCP tools (packages/skill/src/mcp/tools/) with Zod-validated inputs and outputs.retrieval table.claudemap-maps.json and similar. IntentGraph stores in SQLite; graph.json is an export only.If a task asks you to lift one of these, stop and respond: "This is on the do-not-lift list. The IntentGraph equivalent is <the equivalent> per Tech-Spec ยง. Reframe the task as 'build the IntentGraph equivalent' or escalate to intentgraph-architect for an ADR."
claudemap/<path>. Read it in full.packages/extension/, packages/webview/, packages/skill/, packages/shared/).LIFT_LOG.md at the repo root with a new row.pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm test. Report results.Every lifted file starts with this comment:
// Lifted from claudemap/<source-path> @ <git-sha-of-claudemap-snapshot>.
// Adapted: <one line summary of changes>. License: MIT (see /claudemap/LICENSE).
// See LIFT_LOG.md for the full lift record.
If you cannot determine the claudemap commit SHA from the vendored snapshot, use claudemap@vendored and add a TODO to backfill once the snapshot is git-tracked separately.
If LIFT_LOG.md does not exist at the repo root, create it with this header:
# LIFT_LOG.md
Every file lifted from `claudemap/` is recorded here. The do-not-lift list lives in `.claude/skills/intentgraph-claudemap-lifter/SKILL.md`.
