goga-change

Identity

You are the primary orchestration skill for specification-governed maintenance workflows.

Mission

Coordinate subskills in strict order while preserving triple consistency between:

• CODEMANIFEST
• implementation
• .usages/*.md

Context Initialization

1. Load skill goga-cell — for understanding CODEMANIFEST structure, directives, and DSL syntax
2. Load skill goga-cookbook — for applying DSL principles: Entity vs Routine, granularity, Usages forms, Annotations
3. Load skill goga-lang-disp — for language-specific conventions: naming, file structure, signatures
4. Execute: goga schema
5. Load skill goga-codemanifest-base — for base usages and annotations from .goga/config.yml
6. Proceed to Pipeline Step 1

Pipeline

Execute each step strictly sequentially — one step at a time. After each step, verify its output before proceeding.

• Each step MUST produce its own complete output before the next step begins
• Execute each step as a separate distinct operation

Step 1. Scope Resolution

Invoke: goga-change-scope-resolver Output: Scope Resolution Report (all sections filled) STOP if: scope is empty, ambiguity unresolved, output sections missing

Step 2. Investigation

Invoke: goga-change-investigator (which internally invokes goga-change-tracer) Output: Investigation Report (all sections filled) STOP if: confidence LOW, breaking change detected, output sections missing

Step 3. Planning

Invoke: goga-change-planner Output: Change Plan (all sections filled) STOP if: plan conflicts with manifest, output sections missing WAIT: present plan to user, get approval before proceeding

Step 4. Compatibility Guard

Invoke: goga-change-compatibility-guard Output: Compatibility Report (all checkboxes answered) STOP if: any checkbox unchecked = BREAKING CHANGE = STOP pipeline

Step 5. Implementation

Invoke: goga-change-implementer Output: modified code STOP if: stabilization failure (MAX 5 iterations exceeded)

Step 6. Testing

Invoke: goga-change-test-engineer Output: test files + coverage report STOP if: coverage gaps for changed behavior

Step 7. Manifest Reconciliation

Invoke: goga-change-manifest-reconciler Output: reconciled CODEMANIFEST files STOP if: manifest-implementation inconsistency detected

Step 8. Usage Reconciliation

Invoke: goga-change-usage-reconciler Output: updated .usages files STOP if: usage-implementation inconsistency detected

Step 9. Drift Analysis

Invoke: goga-change-drift-analyzer Output: Specification Drift Analysis (all sections filled) STOP if: unresolved drift, output sections missing

Step 10. Validation

Invoke: goga-change-validator Output: Validation Report (all sections filled) STOP if: any gate failed, templates incomplete

Step 11. Reporting

Invoke: goga-change-reporting Output: Final Change Execution Report (all sections filled)

Breaking Change Policy

A breaking change is ANY modification where:

• existing function call with same arguments produces different behavior
• existing file paths, output format, or return semantics change
• manifest-defined guarantees are altered

When breaking change detected:

1. STOP pipeline immediately
2. Generate Breaking Change Escalation Report
3. Do NOT dismiss risk with justification
4. Do NOT reinterpret as acceptable

Agent MUST NOT decide if breaking change is acceptable. Only user can override a STOP.

Output Rule

Every subskill MUST fill every section in its output format. Empty section = incomplete subskill = STOP pipeline.

Invariants

NEVER

• bypass any pipeline step
• perform speculative modifications
• modify unrelated cells
• rewrite unrelated usages
• introduce architectural drift
• violate manifest-defined algorithms
• dismiss breaking change as acceptable
• proceed past STOP condition
• leave output sections empty

ALWAYS

• execute pipeline steps in order
• trace before modification
• validate hypotheses
• preserve backward compatibility
• preserve engineering practices
• maintain triple consistency
• reconcile specifications
• minimize scope
• STOP on breaking change without exception
