# cogarch-storm

## Purpose

This channel is the working space for various Cognitive Architect Storm (brainstorming) activities.

## Durable output destination

- Gitea organization: `cognitive-architect-v1`
- Dedicated repository: `cogarch-storm-v1`
- Repository URL: https://gitea.lego-cloud.eu/cognitive-architect-v1/cogarch-storm-v1

Results from activities in this channel must be captured in that organization and, for now, in the dedicated `cogarch-storm-v1` repository.

## Investigation conventions

- The primary question at every investigation level is **“WHAT IS IT?”** Each layered document must answer that question explicitly at its own level of abstraction before moving to utility, use cases, implementation, or recommendations.
- Do not infer what **Cognitive Architect** means from its name. Cognitive Architect-specific mappings and recommendations require an authoritative project or public definition; otherwise they must be marked unknown and omitted.

## CogArch skills

- `cogarch-storm` is the channel-dedicated skill for evidence-backed storm investigations, “WHAT IS IT?”-first layering, Cognitive Architect definition boundaries, human-originator attribution, and durable publication. It is installed locally and maintained in the private Gitea repository https://gitea.lego-cloud.eu/cognitive-architect-v1-skills-code-agent/cogarch-storm.
- The `cogarch-storm` skill references `powerpoint`, `powerpoint-advanced-python`, `powerpoint-backed-by-evidence`, and `powerpoint-ibm-template`, with activation guidance in `references/powerpoint-skills.md`.
- **IBM presentation rule (RootAtSkic, 2026-09-04):** any requested presentation with IBM flavor, originating from IBM, intended for an IBM audience, or using IBM-branded source material must load `powerpoint-ibm-template` in addition to the applicable PowerPoint skills. `powerpoint-ibm-template` itself must always load/reference both `powerpoint` and `powerpoint-advanced-python`. Source: Discord message `1545416504311545866`.
- Verified `cogarch-storm` remote `main` head: `2ecd3e6ae14f739da66fd0413bb3031ef8c10131`; authenticated raw readback and local/remote ref equality passed.
- Verified `powerpoint-ibm-template` remote `test` head: `d76fb2a78074441f94fff14f979d123769beecb3`; 23 local tests passed, exact-head Gitea Actions task `1837` succeeded, and authenticated raw readback passed.
- `cogarch-v1` governs the `.cogarch` architecture format, project structure, element registry, artifact sidecars, diagrams, and validation conventions.
- `cogarch-docs` governs durable CogArch documentation maintenance from dedicated Discord evidence and repository sources.
- `cogarch-github` governs operations on the private IBM GitHub Enterprise repository `CTOTools/Documentation`.
- For every commit or pull request created or updated through `cogarch-github`, Hermes Agent must include the skill’s exact AI-action disclosure in the commit-message body or pull-request body. The disclosure distinguishes Hermes Agent as the actor from Oleg Lukasonok as the owner/provider of the personal access token; use of his token must not imply that he personally authored, reviewed, approved, or executed the action.
- **REQUIRED attribution (RootAtSkic, 2026-08-25):** when the evidence permits, commit and pull-request descriptions must also identify the Discord user who guided/originated the work so the real human originator is visible. If guidance/origination is unclear, do not invent an attribution; mark it unknown. Source: Discord message `1541897606974799903`.
- The PAT-disclosure rule was added to the installed skill and its private Gitea source in verified commit `560401d2c4387df3b6e6059f4ab173ab40ca619b`; exact remote readback passed. The subsequent human-originator notice above is a separate, newer requirement and had no implementation confirmation in the fetched window.

## Investigation registry

- `2026-07-30-archimate-for-cognitive-architect` — corrected to explain ArchiMate itself from authoritative Open Group sources. The previous Cognitive Architect-specific mappings, adoption decision, and dedicated-skill recommendation were withdrawn because no authoritative definition of Cognitive Architect had been established.
- `2026-09-cognitive-architect-status-plans` — RootAtSkic supplied `Cognitive_Architect_2026_Sept_Status__Plans_1.pptx` and requested a content analysis plus a rebuilt IBM-template deck. Hermes delivered and published an eight-slide, evidence-bounded IBM-template presentation at `cogarch-storm-v1/artifacts/2026-09-cognitive-architect-status-plans/`; the package includes source analysis, claim ledger, source-to-slide coverage, presenter guide, reproducible scripts, QA evidence, preview, and PPTX.
- **CONFIRMED delivery:** repository `cognitive-architect-v1/cogarch-storm-v1` remote `main` head `6f49b3f75157318a6269547c99faa25c418e2bbc`; PPTX SHA-256 `8244a92904c5d3945b2629ff8e0a6677609ab1074c7c3b468b21b8a595ff0d5d`; deterministic checks and a post-correction independent visual review passed. Authenticated remote readback passed. Native PowerPoint/LibreOffice verification remains **UNKNOWN / NOT PERFORMED** because neither viewer was available on the build host. Source: Discord message `1545429834761510992` and completion `1545436147398873088`.
- **CONFIRMED storage convention:** channel artifacts are durably kept in the dedicated `cogarch-storm-v1` repository under activity-specific `artifacts/` paths.
