The model was generating findings internally then outputting a
one-line summary. Added explicit instructions that the full report
must be printed as text output — every file, every classification,
every action. In autonomous mode, the report is the sole deliverable
and must be self-contained and complete.
- Restructure Phase 3 with explicit autonomous skip section that says
"do not ask, do not present, do not wait" before any interactive
instructions
- Add autonomous caveats to Core Rules 4, 7, 8 which previously had
unconditional "ask the user" language
- Clarify that missing referenced files is unambiguous Archive evidence,
not a doubt case requiring user input
Instead of requiring write permissions, autonomous mode attempts
writes and gracefully falls back to recommendations when denied.
Report splits into Applied (succeeded) and Recommended (could not
write) sections. Read-only invocations produce a maintenance plan.
Support mode:autonomous argument for unattended/scheduled runs.
In autonomous mode: skip all user questions, apply safe actions
directly, mark ambiguous cases as stale with conservative confidence,
and generate a detailed report for after-the-fact human review.
- Broad scope triage: inventory + impact clustering + spot-check drift
for 9+ docs, recommends highest-impact area instead of blind ask
- Drift classification: sharp boundary between Update (fix references
in-skill) and Replace (subagent writes successor learning)
- Replacement subagents: sequential subagents write new learnings using
ce:compound's document format with investigation evidence already
gathered, avoiding redundant research
- Stale fallback: when evidence is insufficient for a confident
replacement, mark as stale and recommend ce:compound later
- Use platform-agnostic interactive question tool phrasing with examples
for Claude Code and Codex instead of hardcoding AskUserQuestion
- Fix contradiction between Phase 2 auto-archive criteria and Phase 3
always-ask-before-archive rule so unambiguous archives proceed without
unnecessary user prompts
Adds a new skill that reviews existing docs/solutions/ learnings against the
current codebase and decides whether to keep, update, replace, or archive them.
Also enhances ce:compound with Phase 2.5 selective refresh checks.
