Moonshot Decide Sequence

PM Sequence Decision

Visibility

This is an internal analysis and routing micro-skill. Public entry should remain at product-orchestrator, moonshot-phase-runner, or moonshot-orchestrator.

Shared contracts

Use these canonical files instead of re-embedding the full contract here:

• <MOONSHOT_RELAY_HOME>/schemas/analysis-context.schema.yaml
• <MOONSHOT_RELAY_HOME>/rules/workflow-bundles.yaml

This micro-skill must consume:

• the analysisContext field layout and defaults from the schema file
• the bundle-selection matrix, bundle expansion map, overlays, and stage-order rules from the bundle registry

Phase rules

1. productDefinitionRequest == true && productPackageReady == false -> planning (upstream redirect)
2. hasPendingQuestions == true -> planning
3. implementationComplete == true && (complexity == complex or (apiSpecConfirmed && hasMockImplementation)) -> integration
4. implementationComplete == true -> verification
5. planningReady == true && productPackageReady == true -> implementation
6. executionReady == true -> implementation
7. requirementsClear && hasContextMd && implementationReady -> implementation (migration fallback)
8. otherwise -> planning

Migration rule:

• During rollout, derive planningReady and executionReady from legacy signals only when the explicit readiness.* fields are absent.

Bundle selection

Build the chain from bundles first, then expand into skillChain. The canonical routing matrix lives in root rules/workflow-bundles.yaml and is installed under <MOONSHOT_RELAY_HOME>/rules/workflow-bundles.yaml.

Analysis micro-skills are orchestrator-internal and should not be presented as standalone workflow entrypoints.

• If signals.productDefinitionRequest == true and signals.productPackageReady == false:
  • route to product-orchestrator
  • do not continue into build planning or implementation
• If signals.productPackageReady == true:
  • treat PLAN.md and tasks/*.md as the planning baseline
  • skip requirements-analyzer and context-builder
  • validate the handoff package, then proceed to implementation
  • for medium/complex work, require execution bridge artifacts for the active slice
  • prefer readiness.planningReady over hasExecutionPlan when both exist
  • prefer readiness.executionReady over implementationReady for active slice entry

Summary:

• read_only: implementation bundles remain forbidden; review-only requests use review-bundle
• product_project: use the registry branch for withProductPackage or withoutProductPackage
• meta_harness: use the registry branch for simple vs medium/complex harness work

Bundle expansion

Bundle expansion is defined in <MOONSHOT_RELAY_HOME>/rules/workflow-bundles.yaml. Keep this skill focused on the decision logic, not the duplicated bundle contents.

Execution-bridge expectation for medium/complex product_project runs:

• implementation-runner must create or refresh artifacts.sprintContractPath before code edits
• verification steps must update artifacts.qaReportPath
• retries, pauses, or context-boundary exits must update artifacts.handoffPath

Overlay rules

Resolve overlays and stage-order rules from <MOONSHOT_RELAY_HOME>/rules/workflow-bundles.yaml. Minimum invariants:

• workflowProfile == standard keeps the base bundle chain
• workflowProfile == strict disables indeterminate completion and inserts the strict gates
• meaningful code changes must preserve review -> verify -> finish

Plane-specific rules

Use the plane-specific rules from <MOONSHOT_RELAY_HOME>/rules/workflow-bundles.yaml.

Additional rules

Apply the registry-driven additional rules from <MOONSHOT_RELAY_HOME>/rules/workflow-bundles.yaml, including:

• frontend-design insertion for React work
• code-simplifier insertion for non-trivial code changes
• moonshot-phase-runner insertion when master-plan or phase docs are detected
• build-error-resolver after failed verification for refactor tasks
• explicit review/verification/finish requirements for medium and complex work

Parallel execution guide

Allowed and forbidden parallel groups are defined in <MOONSHOT_RELAY_HOME>/rules/workflow-bundles.yaml.
