Do not introduce sprint capacity, velocity, or board-specific planning semantics. - ## Required Phases - Three phases structure every interaction: classify the request, dispatch the appropriate workflow, and deliver a structured summary. - ### Phase 1: Intent Classification - Classify the user's request into one of four workflow categories using keyword signals and contextual heuristics. - | Workflow | Keyword Signals | Contextual Indicators | |--------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | Triage | triage, classify, backlog cleanup, prioritize, duplicates | Existing Jira issues need label, priority, or status review | | Discovery | discover, find, extract, analyze, backlog from document | Documents, PRDs, requirements, or search scopes as inputs | | Execution | create, update, transition, comment, execute, apply | A finalized handoff file or explicit batch issue changes | | Single Issue | issue key, one issue, quick update, comment on issue | Operations scoped to a single Jira issue | - Disambiguation heuristics for overlapping signals: - * Documents, PRDs, or requirements as input suggest Discovery. * A handoff file or a queue of planned operations points to Execution. * An explicit Jira issue key such as `PROJ-123` scopes the request to Single Issue. * Existing backlog cleanup without source documents indicates Triage. - When classification remains uncertain after applying these heuristics, summarize the two most likely workflows with a brief rationale for each and ask the user to confirm. - Transition to Phase 2 once classification is confirmed. - ### Phase 2: Workflow Dispatch - Load the corresponding instruction file and execute the workflow. Each run creates a tracking directory under `.copilot-tracking/jira-issues/` using the scope conventions from the [planning specification](../../instructions/jira/jira-backlog-planning.instructions.md). - | Workflow | Instruction Source | Tracking Path | |--------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------| | Triage | [jira-backlog-triage.instructions.md](../../instructions/jira/jira-backlog-triage.instructions.md) | `.copilot-tracking/jira-issues/triage/{{YYYY-MM-DD}}/` | | Discovery | [jira-backlog-discovery.instructions.md](../../instructions/jira/jira-backlog-discovery.instructions.md) | `.copilot-tracking/jira-issues/discovery/{{scope-name}}/` | | Execution | [jira-backlog-update.instructions.md](../../instructions/jira/jira-backlog-update.instructions.md) | `.copilot-tracking/jira-issues/execution/{{YYYY-MM-DD}}/` | | Single Issue | Direct Jira skill commands following the [planning specification](../../instructions/jira/jira-backlog-planning.instructions.md) | `.copilot-tracking/jira-issues/execution/{{YYYY-MM-DD}}/` | - For each dispatched workflow: - 1. Create the tracking directory for the workflow run. 2. Verify Jira credentials per Core Directives before proceeding. 3. Initialize planning files from templates defined in the [planning instructions](../../instructions/jira/jira-backlog-planning.instructions.md). 4. Execute workflow phases, updating state files at each checkpoint. 5. Honor the active autonomy mode for human review gates. - Single Issue requests may use direct Jira commands for `get`, `update`, `transition`, or `comment`, but must still record a concise plan and result summary in the execution tracking directory. - Transition to Phase 3 when the dispatched workflow reaches completion or when all operations in the execution queue finish processing. - ### Phase 3: Summary and Handoff - Produce a structured completion summary and write it to the workflow's tracking directory as `handoff.md` when the workflow creates or updates planning artifacts. - Summary contents: - * Workflow type and execution date * Jira issues created, updated, transitioned, or commented on, with issue keys * Fields applied, such as labels, priority, assignee, issue type, and target status * Items requiring follow-up attention * Suggested next steps or related workflows - Phase 3 completes the interaction. Before yielding control back to the user, include any relevant follow-up workflows or suggested next steps in the handoff summary and offer the handoff buttons when relevant. - ## Jira Skill Reference - Use the [`jira` skill](../../skills/jira/jira/SKILL.md) command surface. The skill exposes these command categories: - | Category | Commands | |----------|---------------------------------------------| | Search | `search`, `get` | | Mutation | `create`, `update`, `transition`, `comment` | | Context | `comments`, `fields` | - Use `fields` before creating issues when the project key, issue type, or required create fields are unclear. - ## State Management - All workflow state persists under `.copilot-tracking/jira-issues/`. Each workflow run creates a scoped directory containing: - * `issue-analysis.md` for search results and planning analysis when discovery is artifact-driven * `issues-plan.md` for proposed Jira changes awaiting approval * `planning-log.md` for incremental progress tracking * `handoff.md` for completion summary and next steps * `handoff-logs.md` for execution checkpoint logs when a handoff is processed - When resuming an interrupted workflow, check the tracking directory for existing state files before starting fresh. Prior search results and analysis carry forward unless the user explicitly requests a clean run. - ## Session Persistence - The Save handoff delegates to the memory agent with the checkpoint prompt, preserving session state for later resumption. When a workflow extends beyond a single session: - 1. Write a context summary block to `planning-log.md` capturing current phase, completed items, pending items, and key state before the session ends. 2. On resumption, read `planning-log.md` to reconstruct workflow state and continue from the last recorded checkpoint. 3. For execution workflows, read `handoff.md` checkboxes and `handoff-logs.md` entries to determine which operations are complete versus pending. - ## Human Review Interaction - The three-tier autonomy model controls when human approval is required: - | Mode | Behavior | |-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Full | All supported Jira operations proceed without approval gates | | Partial (default) | Create and transition operations require approval; low-risk field updates may proceed | | Manual | Every Jira-mutating operation pauses for confirmation | - Approval requests appear as concise summaries showing the proposed action, affected issue keys, and expected outcome. The active autonomy mode persists for the duration of the session unless the user indicates a change. - ## Success Criteria - * Every classified request reaches Phase 3 with a written summary or handoff. * Planning files exist in the tracking directory for any workflow that creates or modifies Jira issues. * The Jira skill command surface is used consistently with the documented capability limits. * The autonomy mode is respected at every gate point. * Interrupted workflows are resumable from their last checkpoint without data loss. -

 ## Prerequisites
 
 * PowerShell 7.0+
 * PowerShell-Yaml module (`Install-Module -Name PowerShell-Yaml -RequiredVersion 0.4.7`)
 
+## Maintainer Note: Channel Distribution
+
+This note is for maintainers and is intentionally kept out of the generated
+consumer-facing collection READMEs.
+
+Plugins (the `plugins//` committed tree and the `.github/plugin/marketplace.json`
+entry) ship the PreRelease description text only. The `.vsix` extension package
+ships either Stable or PreRelease text depending on which channel was packaged.
+`descriptions.prerelease` is required for any collection that ships a plugin.
+
+## Promoting an Agent Between Maturity Tiers
+
+`Promote-Agent.ps1` moves an agent between the `experimental`, `preview`, and
+`stable` maturity tiers and keeps every dependent reference and the central
+manifest aligned with the new tier.
+
+Run it through the npm wrapper:
+
+```bash
+npm run promote:agent -- -AgentPath .github/agents/security/security-planner.agent.md -TargetMaturity preview
+```
+
+The script performs these actions in a single pass:
+
+* Rewrites the target agent's `name:` frontmatter to use the picker-name suffix
+  for the target tier (`experimental` appends `(exp)`, `preview` appends
+  `(pre)`, `stable` removes the suffix).
+* Rewrites every incoming reference to the agent (`agents:` list entries and
+  `handoffs.agent:` values) across all `.github/agents/**/*.agent.md` files so
+  the suffixed picker names stay consistent.
+* Synchronizes the agent's `maturity:` field in `collections/core-manifest.yml`
+  so the manifest does not retain a stale maturity tier. The update is keyed off
+  the agent's manifest `path:` entry and is skipped with a warning when the
+  manifest, the agent entry, or the maturity value cannot be located. Only the
+  promoted agent's maturity is changed; dependent assets are not auto-promoted.
+
+Useful switches:
+
+* `-WhatIf` (or `-DryRun`) reports the planned file and manifest changes without
+  writing anything.
+* `-RewriteProse` also rewrites body-prose mentions of the previous suffixed
+  name; without it, prose mentions only produce warnings.
+* `-ManifestPath` overrides the manifest location (defaults to
+  `collections/core-manifest.yml` under the repository root).
+
+When the promotion changes manifest content, regenerate the collection and
+extension outputs as described in the repository workflow
+(`npm run plugin:generate`, `npm run extension:prepare`, and
+`npm run extension:prepare:prerelease`).
+
 ## Adding a New Collection
 
-1. Create `collections/.collection.yml` (see existing collections for
-   format)
-2. Run `npm run lint:collections-metadata` to check the manifest
-3. Run `npm run plugin:generate` to generate the plugin
-4. Commit both the collection and generated plugin
+1. Add the collection metadata to `collections/core-manifest.yml` under
+   `collections:`. Include the generated manifest path, display name,
+   description, tags, and item count.
+2. Assign artifacts to the collection in the canonical artifact maps such as
+   `agents:`, `prompts:`, `instructions:`, and `skills:`.
+3. Run `npm run lint:collections-metadata` to check the core manifest and
+   generated manifests.
+4. Run `npm run plugin:generate` to generate collection and plugin outputs.
+5. Commit the core manifest changes and the generated outputs required by the
+   repository workflow.

+.SYNOPSIS
+    Renders collection YAML manifests and Markdown READMEs from the central
+    core-manifest.yml and (optionally) runs Validate-Collections.ps1 against
+    the rendered output. Provides an inner dev loop for human evaluation.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    For every collection id declared in collections/core-manifest.yml, this
+    script projects the YAML manifest and Markdown body using the shared
+    helpers in CoreManifestHelpers.psm1 and writes them to OutputDirectory.
+
+    Each file is compared byte-for-byte (LF-normalized) against the committed
+    copy in collections/, and the per-file status is printed. Unless
+    -SkipValidation is set, the rendered files are then staged into a scratch
+    repo root and passed through Validate-Collections.ps1 so the projection
+    can be validated independently of the committed files.
+
+    Intended for local iteration when the automation gate breaks or drifts.
+
+.PARAMETER OutputDirectory
+    Destination directory for rendered *.collection.{yml,md} files.
+    Defaults to logs/collections-rendered/ under RepoRoot.
+
+.PARAMETER RepoRoot
+    Repository root. Defaults to the parent of the script's parent directory.
+
+.PARAMETER ManifestPath
+    Path to collections/core-manifest.yml. Defaults to the canonical location.
+
+.PARAMETER CollectionsRoot
+    Directory containing committed collections/*.collection.{yml,md} files.
+    Used only for the side-by-side comparison summary.
+
+.PARAMETER SkipValidation
+    Skip running Validate-Collections.ps1 against the rendered output.
+
+.PARAMETER Clean
+    Remove OutputDirectory before rendering. Default behaviour leaves
+    pre-existing files in place so diff tooling can surface stale outputs.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    ./Render-Collections.ps1
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    ./Render-Collections.ps1 -OutputDirectory ./tmp/collections -Clean
+
+.OUTPUTS
+    Exits 0 when rendering succeeds (and validation passes when run).
+    Exits 1 when projection fails or validation reports errors.

+

+        Shared assets live under .github/instructions/shared/ and
+        .github/skills/shared/ and are consumed by artifacts in multiple themed
+        collections. A consumer references a shared asset by concrete path, by a
+        repository-relative shared/.instructions.md path, or by a
+        backtick-delimited bare name. For each consumer that references a shared
+        asset, this check requires every collection shipping the consumer to also
+        ship the referenced shared asset. Membership in 'hve-core-all' never
+        satisfies a themed collection's requirement.
+
+        A consumer may opt out of a specific dependency by declaring an
+        'externalDependencies' list on its manifest item node, naming the shared
+        asset paths that are intentionally provided outside the collection.
+

+        validation. Each occurrence exposes CollectionId, Kind, Path, and Maturity.

+.SYNOPSIS
+    Verifies that the central collections/core-manifest.yml projects cleanly and
+    that plugin generation reproduces the committed plugins/ output.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    For every collection id declared in collections/core-manifest.yml, this
+    script renders the projected YAML manifest and Markdown body from the
+    central manifest as a smoke test to confirm the projection succeeds. It
+    then runs Generate-Plugins.ps1 in a scratch repository and compares its
+    output against the committed plugins/ directory and
+    .github/plugin/marketplace.json byte-for-byte. The committed
+    collections/*.collection.{yml,md} files are no longer the source of truth
+    and are not compared. On any mismatch a unified-style diff summary is
+    emitted and the script exits with a non-zero code so CI can enforce parity.
+
+.PARAMETER RepoRoot
+    Repository root. Defaults to the parent of the script's parent directory.
+
+.PARAMETER ManifestPath
+    Path to collections/core-manifest.yml. Defaults to the canonical location.
+
+.PARAMETER CollectionsRoot
+    Directory containing committed collections files. Retained for caller
+    compatibility; no longer used for comparison.
+
+.PARAMETER OutputPath
+    Path to write a JSON results report. Defaults to
+    logs/collection-projection-verification-results.json under RepoRoot.
+
+.PARAMETER SkipPluginParity
+    Skips the plugin parity check that runs Generate-Plugins.ps1 in a scratch
+    repository and compares its output against the committed plugins/ directory
+    and .github/plugin/marketplace.json. Use this when only projection success
+    needs to be checked.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    ./Verify-CollectionProjection.ps1
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    ./Verify-CollectionProjection.ps1 -SkipPluginParity
+
+.OUTPUTS
+    Exits 0 when projection succeeds and plugin output matches committed files.
+    Exits 1 when one or more files differ or when an error prevents
+    verification.

 .SYNOPSIS
     Pester tests for Find-CollectionManifests.ps1 script
 .DESCRIPTION
-    Tests for collection manifest discovery and matrix building:
-    - Empty collections directory returns empty matrix
+    Tests for collection manifest discovery and matrix building. Discovery now
+    reads the central core manifest (collections/core-manifest.yml) and projects
+    per-collection manifests via ConvertTo-CollectionManifestFromCore, so each
+    fixture builds a temp core-manifest.yml with a collections map:
+    - Missing core manifest returns empty matrix
     - Single stable collection returns one matrix item
-    - Deprecated collections are always skipped
-    - Experimental collections skipped for Stable channel
-    - Experimental collections included for Preview channel
+    - Deprecated and removed collections are always skipped
+    - Experimental collections are included for all channels (per-item maturity
+      gating is enforced downstream by Prepare-Extension)
     - Multiple collections produce correct matrix JSON
     - Skipped collections tracked in Skipped property
     - Missing name falls back to id
