How engineering skills should consume this repository’s domain documentation.
## Layout
This is a single-context repository:
```text
/
├── CONTEXT.md
├── docs/adr/
└── ...
```
## Before exploring
Read `CONTEXT.md` and relevant ADRs under `docs/adr/` when they exist. If they do not exist, proceed silently. Domain-modeling skills create them lazily when terminology or durable architectural decisions are resolved.
## Use the glossary’s vocabulary
Use terminology defined in `CONTEXT.md` consistently. If required terminology is missing or contradictory, raise it through domain modeling rather than silently inventing synonyms.
## Flag ADR conflicts
If proposed work contradicts an existing ADR, identify the conflict explicitly instead of silently overriding it.
Use `--output json` for machine-readable list and read operations. Use `tea api` when the high-level issue commands do not expose a native Gitea operation.
## When a skill says “publish to the issue tracker”
Create a Gitea issue in this repository. Preserve Markdown formatting in its body and apply any labels required by the invoking skill.
## When a skill says “fetch the relevant ticket”
Read the named issue with comments. The user may provide its URL, title, or index. In user-facing output, refer to issues by their linked titles rather than bare indices.
## Wayfinding operations
Wayfinder maps and decision tickets are Gitea issues.
### Map and ticket grouping
- A map has the label `wayfinder:map`.
- Create one milestone named `Wayfinder: <map title>` for the effort.
- Assign the map and all its tickets to that milestone.
- Every ticket links its parent by name near the top: `Parent map: [<map title>](<map URL>)`.
- Every ticket has exactly one type label: `wayfinder:research`, `wayfinder:prototype`, `wayfinder:grilling`, or `wayfinder:task`.
The shared milestone and explicit parent link express the child relationship, because this Gitea version has no native parent/child issue API.
### Blocking
Use Gitea’s native issue-dependency relationship. To make `<blocked>` depend on `<blocker>`:
tea api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/<index>/dependencies
```
Remove the relationship with the same payload and `-X DELETE`.
### Frontier
List open issues in the map’s milestone. Exclude:
- the issue labelled `wayfinder:map`
- assigned tickets, because assignment is the claim
- tickets whose dependency query returns any open issue
The remaining open, unassigned, unblocked tickets are the frontier. Choose the oldest first unless the user names one.
### Claim
Before doing any ticket work, assign it to the current `tea whoami` user. An open ticket without an assignee is unclaimed.
### Resolve
1. Add the answer as a resolution comment.
2. Close the ticket.
3. Re-fetch the map immediately before editing it.
4. Append a linked one-line context pointer to `Decisions so far`.
5. Create newly visible tickets, then wire dependencies in a second pass.
