cogarch-storm

Purpose

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

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.

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-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.

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.
