mstar-iteration(迭代管理)

SkillDev tools

Use when starting, driving, resuming, or closing a Morning Star iteration, or running an autonomous Phase 1, 6 loop, including without a slash command (e.g. 'start an iteration', 'drive the iteration', 'run an autonomous loop'). Manages Phase 1 (default interactive direction lock; opt-in autonomous), Autonomous Execute, iteration-close (compound promotes knowledge), PR delivery, the PR merge-ready loop, and the Phase 6 post-merge close. Branch SSOT: workflow snapshot (`workflows/<id>/snapshot.json`) + compass frontmatter.

Load order

Read mstar-harness-core first. Path symbols → mstar-conventions. Per-plan gates → mstar-phase-gates. Knowledge crystallization → mstar-compound. Phase 2 implement 波次(进入 per-plan implement 前)→ mstar-sdd + mstar-dispatch-gates;Phase 2 QC 前 → mstar-review-qc。Git/worktree 载体(有 git 写或 lease 时)→ mstar-branch-worktreePhase 1 角色派发 preflight(每次 invoke 前的 assignment preflight;enforcement: hard fail-fast)→ references/command-shared-invariants.md(本 skill 直接触发时不依赖 command 层)。On conflict, mstar-harness-core wins.

Phase detail 不在本 skill 正文:按下方 Phase route map 只加载当前动作对应的一行 detail——禁止无条件通读全部 phase references。

Scoped primary route/iteration-drive --assignment|--workflow/--plan|--resume)→ references/plan-scoped-pm.md,且先于本 skill 的全局 todo / backlog / last-plan 逻辑判定。

Scoped primary route(先于全局 Phase 逻辑)

/iteration-drive 的 scoped 形态在本 skill 的任何全局 Phase 逻辑之前改道:

  • 先选 route,再 seed todo:不得先按整迭代 boot 建立全局 session todos / backlog / last-plan Phase 3 判断,再把 scoped 会话当作过滤器处理。
  • scoped finish = durable handoff(plan 保持 InReview、保留 execution_lease)。status: Done、两个 lease 的删除、Phase 3–6、compass / index / root 投影与迭代 PR 仅 coordinator 拥有。
  • 无参数调用语义不变(Phase 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6);非法非空形态 fail closed禁止回落整迭代路线;leaf 收到该命令 → 角色边界拒绝。
  • boot / plan-local drive / finish / coordinator 序列全文 → references/plan-scoped-pm.md

设计思路

mstar 实践模式通常是:一次迭代锁定几个 spec 点(specify + clarify),产生多个 plan,每个 plan 含多个 tasks。per-plan 生命周期有完整的闭环(Prepare → Execute → QC → Done)。Compound 不是 per-plan 活动——它是迭代级收口,在迭代内所有 plan Done 后,沉淀一轮知识。

本 skill 管理迭代 Phase 1–6(command 层可聚合编排,但 不得反向引用 command 名;第三方 helper 仅由 command 按需发现):

Phase 1: start
     ↓
Phase 2: Autonomous Execute  —— [per-plan lifecycle × N]
     ↓
Phase 3: iteration-close
     ↓
Phase 4: PR delivery(开 PR)
     ↓
Phase 5: PR merge-ready loop —— 至 mergeable + CI 全绿 + reviews resolved
     ↓
Phase 6: post-merge close —— PR merged 后 §6.1–§6.4
     ↓
迭代交付完成

关键定位

  • Phase 3 在 integration 分支收口 compound / roadmap;开 PR(Phase 4)≠ 迭代交付完成
  • Phase 5merge-ready loop(修复 → 等 CI/review 波次结束再 push → 再验证,至 §5.5 exit);Loop 理念与 push cadence SSOT 在本 skill(§2.6;push cadence 细则 §5.1a → references/phase-4-5-pr-delivery.md);宿主 command 可叠加额外 non-mstar-* helper(优先 babysit / *-babysitgreploop 可选),但不写入 mstar-* load order。
  • Phase 6post-merge close(PR merged 后 §6.1–§6.4:terminal snapshot → unregister → 投影对齐 → cleanup(mstar worktree cleanup,dry-run 默认;守卫契约本体 → mstar-branch-worktree「Worktree / branch cleanup」));§5.5 exit / PR mergeable ≠ 生命周期已关闭references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md)。
  • 一次迭代 = 一个 PR;compound 产物随 PR 合入 snapshot branch.target

Phase route map(唯一路由表 — 按当前动作加载)

当前动作必读 detail(按需加载,勿通读)
scoped primary/iteration-drive--assignment / --workflow --plan / --resumereferences/plan-scoped-pm.md(scoped boot → plan-local drive → handoff finish → coordinator 序列;先于整迭代 todo / last-plan 逻辑)
start(启动迭代 / 重开方向锁定)references/phase-1-prepare.md(§1.1–§1.6:上下文、范围与 direction lock、compass、索引、v2 状态面、产物边界、§1.6 Review & Edit 链)
execute / resume(推进或恢复 per-plan 循环)references/phase-2-worktree-lease.md(§2.0 五道闸、§2.1–§2.5 loop/dispatch 细则、control root + integration worktree + lease 全文)
close(全部 plan Done 后收口迭代)references/phase-3-iteration-close.md(§3.0–§3.6:entry checklist、compound、roadmap、完成标记、exit checklist + commit)
PR / merge-ready(开 PR、推进合并就绪 loop)references/phase-4-5-pr-delivery.md(§4–§5.2:开 PR、§5.1a push cadence、loop、exit checklist)
Phase 6 / post-merge close(PR merged 后关闭 lifecycle)references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md(entry(verified merged)+ §6.1 terminal write → §6.2 unregister → §6.3 projection reconciliation → §6.4 cleanup:mstar worktree cleanup,dry-run 默认,--apply 才变更)
Phase 5 helper discovery(仅 command 层按需)references/phase5-helper-discovery.md(babysit / greploop 发现)

一次只加载当前 route 一行;phase 切换按下方 Phase transition gates 走。

Phase transition gates(HARD — 防跳步)

边界触发必须禁止
→ Phase 2(entry / resume)§2.0 五道闸全过(细则 → references/phase-2-worktree-lease.md继续 Autonomous Execute per-plan loop(phase-2 reference §2.4);主 worktree 驻留 = 记录的 Main worktree branch,integration 分支检出在专属 integration worktree五道闸任一 false 仍派发;branch metadata 缺失用 main/master 补位;把生命周期分支切到主 checkout

→ Phase 6PR 已 merge(verified merged;mergeable ≠ merged,由 PM 核实)打印 ## Phase 6: post-merge close;按 §6.1→§6.4 执行(references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md);todo phase-6-post-merge-close 保持 open 直至 §6.4mergeable 即视为 merged;未核实 merge 就调用 close;§6.1–§6.3 之间夹带 tracked commit

Engine check (when available): run mstar iteration gate --workflow <id> --compass <delivery-compass.md> --branch "$(git branch --show-current)" --integration <spec_integration_branch> --target <target_branch> (or import { evaluatePhaseGate } from "@mstar-harness/engine" with the currentBranch / specIntegrationBranch / prBaseBranch probe inputs in a host hook) to evaluate the transition gate above against the workflow snapshot — the branch probes cover §3.5 exit item 5 (EXIT_BRANCH_MISMATCH when the commit checkout is not on spec_integration_branch; verify before the §3.5 close commit, not after). On fail (gate-blocking violations) -> do not proceed; fix and re-run. Note: during the Phase-3 window (transition: phase-3-close) the gate exits 1 until the §3.4 close items (status: completed + end_date) are written — that exit-1 is the expected "close work pending" signal (the exit checklist gates Phase 4, not the Phase-3 entry), so proceed with Phase 3 per the table below. Skill text below remains authoritative when the runtime is absent.

误判信号:对话里出现 compound 摘要、roadmap 更新、或「所有 plan 已完成」但 打印 §3.1 / §3.5 checklist → 视为 Phase 3 未执行,回到 references/phase-3-iteration-close.md §3.0。

per-plan 状态 SSOT{WORKFLOW_DIR}/<id>/snapshot.jsonplans[] 行(per-plan Todo/InProgress/InReview/Done);根 {HARNESS_DIR}/status.json workflows[] 登记活跃 lifecycle。Phase 6 close 后 snapshot 终态(completed + ended_at)保留为归档,根条目注销(removal-at-terminal;references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md §6.1–§6.2)。 迭代状态 SSOT{ITERATION_DIR}/<id>/delivery-compass.md frontmatter status + {ITERATION_DIR}/README.md 索引(一行 = 一次迭代)。 迭代分支 SSOT:snapshot branch.base(= iteration_base_branch)+ branch.target(= target_branch)与 branch.integration(= spec_integration_branch)(workflows/<id>/snapshot.json);compass frontmatter 镜像同名字段。解析顺序见 phase-2 reference §2.3。禁止因仓库存在 main/master 就假定 base 或 PR 目标。branch.base 是创建/merge 锚点,不是驻留事实——主 worktree(control root)驻留分支在生命周期写入前由 PM 记录为主 plan 头的 Main worktree branch,全程不切换;integration 分支检出在专属 integration worktree(snapshot integration_worktree_path)。

SSOT: mstar-conventions/references/artifact-storage-paths.md。迭代 package → {ITERATION_DIR}/<iteration-id>/(含 delivery-compass.mdguides/specs/);根索引 → {ITERATION_DIR}/README.md。Legacy flat {ITERATION_DIR}/<id>-delivery-compass.md 仅兼容读。

2.6 Continuous execution + push 纪律(Phase 2–5 通用 SSOT)

Continuous execution(HARD):Phase 2 Autonomous Execute 经 Phase 5 merge-ready exit 全程 — 不向用户做例行 yes/no check-in。

  • 不因 harness 流程问题常问「是否继续」「要不要现在启动」—— 决策、记录、dispatch
  • 进度汇报 / subagent Completion Report 后,下一条必须是 dispatch 或下一 gate 动作,不得以确认问句收束 turn
  • 未知 → 读 mstar-*;仅 Blocked、secrets、不可逆范围缺口、branch metadata 缺失、或 Phase 5 多轮仍 blocked 时升级用户
  • 实际 Git ≠ working_branch同轮更新 plan + snapshot + execution_lease.working_branch(如适用)
  • 跨 plan implement 并行安全闸integration merge 串行references/phase-2-worktree-lease.md §2.0 #5 /「Multi-plan parallelism」(无论 Worktree mode: waived
  • plan 内 SDD 独立 ready tasks 并行,真实依赖与共享写目标串行 — phase-2 reference §2.4、§2.5、mstar-sdd Ready-task scheduling
  • allow-residual(默认):open R# 先登记 project register,且各决策面披露(清单 + severity + 跟踪位置;close 面另含 blocker-defer 标记);unresolved critical 仍阻断 Approve;zero-residual 为显式 opt-in(可修当轮清干净,仅真 blocker-defer + Durable Roadmap)— 登记与披露职责 → mstar-artifacts Findings cleanup modes
  • iteration 命令共享的 PM invariants / preflight / todos / STOP → references/command-shared-invariants.md

Push cadence(§5.1a HARD):本地可提前修,禁止在 CI / AI review 波次未结束时 git push — 细则 → references/phase-4-5-pr-delivery.md §5.1a。

  • mstar-compound — iteration-close 中触发知识结晶(唯一默认 knowledge 新增路径)
  • references/phase-1-prepare.md — start route detail(§1.1–§1.6)
  • references/phase-2-worktree-lease.md — execute/resume route detail(per-plan loop + integration worktree、execution_leaseintegration_merge_lease

  • references/iteration-artifact-boundaries.md — Phase 1 specs / iteration package / knowledge 分工
  • references/iteration-corpus-hygiene.md — §1.6 writing-specialist specs 卫生细则

NOT to do

共享反递归红线全清单见 mstar-roles/references/_shared/leaf-executor-core.md「Shared anti-recursion NEVER」。迭代级高频陷阱(其余各 Phase 内已含对应 hard rule):

  • 不要将 Phase 4 开 PR 等同于迭代交付完成 — 必须完成 Phase 5 §5.2 merge-ready loop
  • 不要将 §5.5 exit 或 PR merge 当作生命周期终点 — merged 后必须进入 Phase 6(references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md §6.1–§6.4);禁止为通过 close 释放 lease 或伪造 Done/关闭 residual
  • 不要在 Phase 5 CI 仍跑或 AI review 波次未结束时 push(§5.1a)— 本地可提前修,push 等 idle
  • 不要在 integration worktree 或主 checkout(control root)上直接编辑产品代码 — Phase 5 修复走 fix feature worktree,review 后 merge 回 integration worktree(phase-4-5-pr-delivery.md §5.0)
  • 不要在缺 iteration_base_branch / target_branch 时默认 main / master
  • 不要在 Phase 1 §1.6 由 product/architect 向 {KNOWLEDGE_DIR}/ 新增(知识 → iteration-close mstar-compound
  • 不要在 per-plan Done 后立即 compound — 等 iteration-close 统一做

Workflow

Phase 1–6 总览见上文 ## 设计思路 图。执行时按 ## Phase route map 选当前动作的一行 detail:start(范围 + compass + §1.6 Review & Edit 链)→ Autonomous Execute(五道闸 → §2.4 per-plan 循环:分支 → 实现 → QC → QA gate → Done → 串行 merge)→ iteration-close(§3.1–§3.5 + mstar-compound)→ PR delivery(Phase 4)→ PR merge-ready loop(Phase 5 至 §5.5 exit)→ post-merge close(Phase 6,PR merged 后 §6.1–§6.4)。每波用 §2.1 session todos 设护栏防范围漂移;phase 切换以上方 Phase transition gates 为准。

Evidence

迭代交付完成 = Phase 5 §5.5 exit checklist 全 [x] 且 PR merged 已核实 且 Phase 6 §6.1–§6.4 完成(snapshot completed + ended_at、根 status.json 条目注销、投影一致;references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md)。Phase 3 完成标志 = compass frontmatter status: completed + end_date(§3.4)+ §3.5 exit checklist。close 证据在磁盘产物(compass / plans / specs 修订 + 索引 + metadata),不要求单独迭代审查报告(§1.6,references/phase-1-prepare.md)。
