docs: design + protocol for /abcd:run autonomous-run loop - #39
Merged
Conversation
Record the design for /abcd:run — the ADR-27 host-workflow autonomous-run loop: SOTA-researched against primary sources, reviewed against abcd principles + the current CLI, and reconciled with itd-29 (which owns this surface and reserves the 'run' name). Includes the seed learnings note + adversarial panel, and the SOTA-verdict and itd-29 naming decisions in DECISIONS.md. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8
The generic run protocol (future commands/abcd/run.md, C-phase draft) plus the first dogfood run-plan draining abcd-cli's open ledger. The protocol encodes lean-orchestrator delegation, a JSON attempt-journal where a dangling entry counts toward the strike limit, advisory review with the deterministic gate as authority, action-class STOP checkpoints, chain-fragility stops, and a secret scrub. The run-plan is backlog:ledger, detector-first, and skips iss-35 (a maintainer design-STOP). Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8
A maintainer runbook for dogfooding abcd locally: an always-latest binary wrapper (rebuilds from source each call, fails loudly on a broken build) plus a private local plugin marketplace, and how to iterate. Developer-facing (under .abcd/development/) because it names the agent harness, which the host-agnostic docs/ rule forbids. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8

What
Records the design and the C-phase build for
/abcd:run— the ADR-27host-workflow autonomous-run loop (one PR per work item, resuming from a durable
handoff across timeboxed bursts).
plans/2026-07-12-abcd-auto-loop-skill.md): SOTA-researched againstprimary sources, an adversarial panel, and a review against abcd's own principles +
the current CLI. Reconciled with itd-29, which already owns this surface and
reserves the
runname;/abcd:runis its host-delegated realization.plans/2026-07-12-abcd-run-protocol.md): the generic loop (futurecommands/abcd/run.md) — lean-orchestrator delegation, a JSON attempt-journal wherea dangling entry counts toward the strike limit, advisory review with the
deterministic gate as authority, action-class STOP checkpoints, chain-fragility
stops, and a secret scrub.
plans/2026-07-12-abcd-cli-ledger-drain-run.md): drainsabcd-cli's open ledger, detector-first, skipping iss-35 (a maintainer design-STOP).
research/notes/2026-07-12-dogfood-abcd-locally.md): dogfood abcdlocally as a private plugin, tracking the latest CLI build.
Why
Sequence C→A: run the loop as a plan+protocol under the harness loop now to dogfood on
abcd-cli and generate itd-29's real evidence (its revisit trigger #5), then formalize
commands/abcd/run.mdafter 1–2 successful runs. Docs/records only — no code, no newdependency, no core change.
