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.
