## Purpose

Plan, create, review, and maintain concise short-form CogArch content. Specific formats, audiences, distribution channels, and publication targets remain to be decided in this channel.

## Canonical Resources

- Channel workspace: `/opt/data/cogarch-v1-shorts/`
- Channel skill repository: https://gitea.lego-cloud.eu/cognitive-architect-v1-skills-code-agent/cogarch-v1-channel-shorts
- Current verified deck: `/opt/data/cogarch-v1-shorts/workspace/vscode-local-setup-4-working-with-skills/release/2026-09-22-ibm-cognitive-architect-shorts-vscode-local-setup-4-working-with-skills-1.0.1.pptx`.
- Current verified preview: `/opt/data/cogarch-v1-shorts/workspace/vscode-local-setup-4-working-with-skills/release/2026-09-22-ibm-cognitive-architect-shorts-vscode-local-setup-4-working-with-skills-1.0.1-preview.png`.

## Action Items

- Verify the `powerpoint-cognitive-architect` remote repository/runtime installation separately; the current deck artifact is locally verified.

## Key Decisions

- The channel was assigned its own workspace, durable wiki, dedicated channel skill, and daily knowledge-sync coverage.
- Maintain a CogArch-specific presentation skill named `powerpoint-cognitive-architect` under the Cognitive Architect skills organization. It must reference the general PowerPoint skills instead of duplicating or overlapping their capabilities.
- The Shorts deck is a light, professional IBM presentation titled `IBM | Cognitive Architect | Shorts (Solution Factory)`; it omits the date, identifies presenter Oleg Lukasonok (`oleg.lukasonok@lt.ibm.com`, Slack nickname `lego`), and presents the Cognitive Architect, Solution Factory tutorial, and `cognitive-architect` Slack channel as clearly labeled links.
- The deck has three slides: title, Agenda, and links. The Agenda order is: “How to enable Solution Factory?”, “How to access Solution Factory?”, then “What is Solution Factory?”.
- The `VSCode Local Setup 4 Working With Skills` short uses the agenda `vscode-local-setup`, `skill-manager`, and `cognitive-architect`; its second link is `Documentation | Tutorial | Skills` at `https://pages.github.ibm.com/CTOTools/Documentation/docs/user-guide/services/agent-skills/`.
- Discord topic: `Plan, create, review, and maintain concise short-form CogArch content.`
- Pinned channel guidance: message `1547924959656157256`.
- Mutable channel history belongs in this wiki, not in Hermes gateway configuration or the reusable channel skill.

## Active Topics

- Define the initial short-form content format, audience, editorial style, and publication destination.

## Key Context

- CogArch architecture-format work follows the `cogarch-v1` skill and accepted project decisions.
- No publication destination or permission is implied by channel setup.
