## 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`.
- `Architecture in an AI World` current revised deck: `/opt/data/cogarch-v1-shorts/workspace/architecture-in-an-ai-world/release/2026-09-24-cognitive-architect-session-01-architecture-in-an-ai-world-1.7.0.pptx` (11 slides; SHA-256 `4b13be8517fb67de6c252fa1342c1f41f64954c05c47c0e028681c437e7d4e4c`).
- Current deck preview (vertical sequence, slides 1–11 stacked one by one with visible slide-number headers): `/opt/data/cogarch-v1-shorts/workspace/architecture-in-an-ai-world/release/2026-09-24-cognitive-architect-session-01-architecture-in-an-ai-world-1.7.0-preview-vertical-numbered.png`.
- Reproducible source is in `/opt/data/cogarch-v1-shorts/workspace/architecture-in-an-ai-world/source/`; v1.7.0 is built by `build_session_01_v170.py`.
- Deck decision: former slides 3–5 were consolidated into one slide based on slide 4. The combined slide places six participant questions around one shared architecture model and incorporates the architecture content of purpose, structure, qualities, decisions, ownership, and traceability.
- Deck decision: former slides 6–7 were consolidated into one slide based on slide 6. The combined slide preserves the Architect Curates / AI Accelerates split and adds a compact Encode → Act → Validate → Learn feedback loop.
- Deck decision: three visual reference slides were added after the shared-model slide: FINOS CALM, Structurizr, and ArchiMate. Each carries a verified, clickable link to its official documentation; the deck duration changed to 15–20 minutes.
- Presentation preview decision: when showing a full deck, stack slide images vertically in sequence, one slide per row, and add a clearly visible slide-number header above every slide; do not use a thumbnail contact sheet.

## 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.

## People & Roles

- RootAtSkic (`1518725627845283888`) — channel owner and human authority.
- Hermes (`1526860732917088266`) — assisting bot.

## Action Items

- Decide the first short's subject, audience, format, and publication target.

## Evidence

- `1547923376725565491` — RootAtSkic requested: “Set up this channel.”
- `1552630471056302161` — RootAtSkic started the `Architecture in an AI World` short from the enablement-channel presentation.
- `1552631460748468336`, `1552644274615619595` — full-deck previews must stack slides vertically and visibly number each slide.
- `1552645349875777558`, `1552647879347142710`, `1552657484303568927` — consolidate former slides 3–5 using slide 4 as the basis and former slides 6–7 using slide 6 as the basis.
- `1552659377788420109`, `1552659408217968721` — include one linked documentation slide each for FINOS CALM, Structurizr, and ArchiMate.
