# 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-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.
