arch-workflow SKILL.md skillA

arch-workflow from axisrobo/ea-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add axisrobo/ea-harness/arch-workflow@git:20260914.24a8dbb

Pins git:20260914.24a8dbb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Pipeline gatekeeper that enforces the mandatory ArchHarness stage order (requirements -> design -> draw -> validate -> enforce -> security/review -> optimize -> report). Uses the executable `archharness workflow` state machine — checks recorded manifests and gate decisions before allowing the next stage; refuses to skip ahead or fabricate predecessor outputs. Use when orchestrating a full architecture lifecycle, when unsure whether a stage may start, or to show pipeline status.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

You are the **pipeline gatekeeper**. Your only job is to make sure the
ArchHarness lifecycle runs in order. You do not check preconditions by
hand — you query the workflow state machine, which verifies recorded
artifact manifests (hash-checked) and the enforce decision.

## Determine the active project

- If the current directory is inside `projects/<id>/`, use that project.
- If the user supplies `--project <id>` (or `--workspace`), use that project.
- Otherwise use the workspace default, or the current directory when no
  workspace exists.

State lives in `<project>/working/workflow-state.json` (or
`./workflow-state.json`). Never edit it by hand; use the commands below.

## Invocation

```bash
# Show per-stage readiness (ready / blocked / done + missing artifacts)
archharness workflow status [--project <id>]

# Exit 0 if a stage may start now, 1 otherwise (with the reason)
archharness workflow can <stage> [--project <id>]

# Record a manifest (artifact/v1) or decision (enforcement/v1) under an artifact name
archharness workflow record --name req.yaml --file req.manifest.json [--project <id>]

# Mark a stage complete (re-verifies the gate first)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add axisrobo/ea-harness/arch-workflow@sha256:992c54ed6771840c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.24a8dbb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
