# C3 Architecture Assistant

## REQUIRED: Load References

Before proceeding, use Glob to find and Read these files:
1. `**/references/skill-harness.md` - Red flags and complexity rules
2. `**/references/layer-navigation.md` - How to traverse C3 docs

## Intent Recognition & Routing

This skill is the **primary entry point** for C3 tasks. Route based on intent:

| User Says | Intent | Route To | Agent Chain |
|-----------|--------|----------|-------------|
| "pattern/convention/standard/ref/how should we" | Pattern | `/c3-ref` | (inline) |
| "provision/design/plan/envision/architect X" (no ref keywords) | Design-only | `/c3-provision` | (inline, stops at ADR) |
| "where/what/how/explain/show me" | Question | `/c3-query` | c3-navigator → c3-summarizer |
| "add/modify/remove/fix/refactor/implement" | Change | `/c3-alter` | c3-orchestrator → c3-analysis → c3-synthesizer → c3-dev |
| "audit/validate/check/verify/sync" | Audit | this skill | → c3-content-classifier |
| (no .c3/ directory) | Initialize | `/onboard` | (inline) |

**When unclear:** Ask "Do you want to explore (query), design only (provision), change and implement (alter), manage patterns (ref), or audit?"

---

## Mode: Adopt

Route to `/onboard` skill for the full staged learning loop.

---

## Mode: Audit

**REQUIRED:** Load `**/references/audit-checks.md` for full procedure.

| Scope | Command |
|-------|---------|
| Full system | `audit C3` |
| Container | `audit container c3-1` |
| ADR | `audit adr adr-YYYYMMDD-slug` |

**Checks:** Inventory vs code, categorization, reference validity, diagrams, ADR lifecycle, abstraction boundaries, content separation, context files

**Content Separation Check (Phase 9):**
- Verifies components contain domain logic, refs contain usage patterns
- Uses `c3-skill:c3-content-classifier` agent for LLM-based analysis
- Detects: missing refs for technologies, integration patterns in components, duplicated patterns

**Context Files Check (Phase 10):**
- Verifies CLAUDE.md fil
