Implementation + +**Detailed implementation guide**: See [`campaign-creation-implementation-plan.md`](./campaign-creation-implementation-plan.md) + +### Before Starting +- [ ] Review executive summary with team +- [ ] Review implementation plan +- [ ] Prioritize optimizations +- [ ] Assign owner for each phase +- [ ] Set timeline and milestones + +### Phase 1: Foundation (Week 1) +- [ ] Create `.github/workflow-catalog.yml` with all workflows +- [ ] Create `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/new-agentic-campaign.yml` +- [ ] Implement `update-issue` safe output in `pkg/workflow/safe_outputs.go` +- [ ] Create `actions/update-issue/action.yml` +- [ ] Update `campaign-generator.md` with catalog query +- [ ] Add spec generation logic to generator +- [ ] Configure assign-to-agent trigger (workflow dispatch) +- [ ] Test end-to-end flow + +### Phase 2: Consolidation (Week 2-3) +- [ ] Create `pkg/campaign/prompts/` directory +- [ ] Create `campaign_creation_instructions.md` with shared logic +- [ ] Extract duplicated logic from CCA agent +- [ ] Extract duplicated logic from designer agent +- [ ] Update generator to import shared instructions +- [ ] Update designer to import shared instructions +- [ ] Handle template file (delete/deprecate) +- [ ] Decide on CCA agent (remove/repurpose) +- [ ] Test consolidated flow +- [ ] Verify zero code duplication +- [ ] Update documentation + +### Phase 3: Future Enhancements +- [ ] Implement dry-run mode +- [ ] Add webhook notifications +- [ ] Create performance metrics tracking +- [ ] Add workflow health checks +- [ ] Implement auto-catalog updates + +### After Implementation +- [ ] Measure code reduction (target: 69%) +- [ ] Measure execution time (target: 2-3 min) +- [ ] Measure update time (target: 3-5 min) +- [ ] Monitor for drift (target: zero incidents) +- [ ] Update training materials +- [ ] Share results with team + +--- + +## πŸ€” Frequently Asked Questions + +### Q: Will this break existing workflows? +**A**: No. The consolidation uses existing import mechanisms (`{{#runtime-import?}}`). Fully backward compatible. + +### Q: How much work is required? +**A**: Phase 1 (1 week), Phase 2 (2-3 weeks), Phase 3 (optional, future). Total: 3-4 weeks for full implementation. + +### Q: What's the biggest risk? +**A**: Import mechanism failure. Mitigation: Thorough testing, feature branch, fall back to duplication if needed. + +### Q: Can we do this incrementally? +**A**: Yes. Phase 1 provides immediate value without code changes. Phase 2 can be done gradually (one agent at a time). + +### Q: Why not just use GitHub Copilot to sync files? +**A**: Copilot doesn't prevent drift over time. Single source of truth eliminates the problem, not just the symptom. + +### Q: What about the template duplication? +**A**: Need to investigate how `assign-to-agent` uses templates. Likely install-time copy, which is acceptable. + +--- + +## πŸ“ž Contact & Questions + +For questions about this analysis: +1. Review the full analysis report +2. Check FAQ section above +3.
