Channel ID: 1547923343905259601 Created: 2026-09-11 10:54 UTC Last sync: 2026-09-25 03:02 UTC Latest processed human message: 1552659408217968721

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.
