Session 0025.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-07T09-29 (PST) End: 2026-06-07T14-25 (PST) Type: coding Goal: decide where the superpowers spec & plan artifacts live (operator: put them on the app's *-content repo under specs/ and plans/ so rfc-app can render them as reviewable collections). Outcome: design-only — brainstormed + approved + committed a design doc; branch pushed, NOT merged. Implementation is the explicit follow-up.

Launch prompt

Update the superpowers spec and plan artifact file locations to live on the
app's *-content repo, under "specs" and "plans" directories — so that if we set
up collections in the rfc-app they'll be easy to review.

Plan

What the session set out to do, and what it became: the ask started as "move the spec/plan file locations to the content repo," but brainstorming surfaced that the question is entangled with the session-type taxonomy (the v0.18.0 verbiage rename had renamed spec-init → wgl-writing-plans, colliding with superpowers' "writing-plans = implementation plan" meaning, and had left plans with no durable home). So the session became the artifact-pipeline reconciliation that memory had flagged as deferred — designed, not yet built.

Pre-session state

On feat/feedback-as-gitea-issues with one unpushed design-doc commit (6d97845) for a different feature (parked, left untouched).
main = origin/main = 4fe6998 (v0.18.0) at session start.
Memory's recorded Next /goal for this thread was the artifact-pipeline reconciliation.

Turn-by-turn arc

Gate + claim. Classified the prompt as a coding session; ran wgl-session-coding-init (under the live 0.17.0 cache). Peek showed four open --INPROGRESS placeholders (0020/0021/0022/0024) — none flagged ENDED-UNFINALIZED; treated as stale/abandoned, warned and proceeded (autonomous). Claimed 0025.
Baseline. Found I was on the parked feedback branch, not clean main. Established main was the real baseline; branched fresh feat/two-session-artifact-collections off main; left the feedback branch alone.
Explored current artifact routing (Explore agent): specs → spec-rfc role via submit-spec.sh; plans have no durable home (transcript + memory only); BDDs → bdd role; the schema enum already has content, specs, spec-rfc roles but the runtime only resolves spec-rfc.
Brainstormed (superpowers:brainstorming). Key discoveries, in dialogue with the operator:
- Vanilla superpowers does plan→execute in one session; the spec is the human-reviewed artifact, the plan is agent-facing (no review gate).
- Our v0.18.0 split writing-plans/executing-plans into separate tracked sessions, which is why a plan would need a durable home — but it has none.
- Operator's reframe: collapse to two session types — session-brainstorming and session-planning-and-executing.
- Plans: keep as a non-reviewed archive record (→ content/plans/).
- BDDs: inputs to brainstorming, not outputs — leave them alone.
Confirmed the v0.18.0 collision by reading the renamed skills: wgl-writing-plans actually authors the spec, not an impl plan. Read the verbiage-rename design doc — it had explicitly conflated the Solution-Design spec with "the superpowers writing-plans artifact." Our design supersedes that.
Presented the full design; operator approved ("yes" to the two-session model, retiring wgl-writing-plans, and the content role over spec-rfc).
Wrote + self-reviewed + committed the design doc (dc684a8); tightened the BDD-as-input wording. Pushed the branch (origin set).
Operator invoked /wgl-session-finalize at the design checkpoint.
Finalize. Discovered (via memory + fetch) that origin/main had advanced to 0.20.0 concurrently (sessions 0026/0022). Corrected the doc's version target to "next free minor (≥0.21.0), rebase first" (16e9dd7); re-pushed. Updated memory surgically without clobbering the concurrent SP2 Next /goal. Stripped a spurious ENDED-UNFINALIZED banner the SessionEnd guard had stamped mid-session.

Cut state (end of session)

Branch feat/two-session-artifact-collections pushed to origin, 2 commits (dc684a8 design doc, 16e9dd7 version-target correction), based on the pre-advance main (4fe6998); 15 commits behind current origin/main (0.20.0).
No PR, no merge, no version bump. Working tree clean.
The parked feat/feedback-as-gitea-issues branch untouched.
Design doc: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-two-session-model-and-artifact-collections-design.md.

Deferred decisions

Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls surfaced at finalize:

Disposition = push-only, no PR/merge. This session produced the design doc only; implementation is the explicit follow-up. Chose to push the branch (no stranding) and ship design + impl together in one PR later (the v0.18.0 verbiage-rename precedent), rather than open/merge a design-only PR. Alternative: merge the design doc to main on its own now.
Did NOT clobber the top-level SP2 Next /goal that a concurrent session set in shared memory. Recorded this thread's continuation in the effort-B follow-up bullet and surface it below instead. Alternative: overwrite the field with this thread's next step.
content role over repurposing spec-rfc, and removing wgl-writing-plans outright (vs a stub) — both explicitly approved by the operator during brainstorming, so low residual risk.
Version target left open ("next free minor, ≥0.21.0") rather than a fixed number, since origin/main moved during the session.

What lands on the operator's plate

Nothing blocking. The design is approved and recorded; nothing shipped.
A real concurrency observation worth a feedback issue: the session-end-finalize-guard banner-stamped THIS live placeholder mid-session (same gotcha logged in 0024) — a live-session false positive.
When ready to implement: the branch must be rebased onto current origin/main (0.20.0) first.

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

This session's thread (the artifact-pipeline reconciliation) continues with:

/goal Implement the two-session-model + spec/plan content-repo collections design (docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-two-session-model-and-artifact-collections-design.md): rebase feat/two-session-artifact-collections onto origin/main, then writing-plans → execute → ship (≥0.21.0)

Note: shared memory's top-level Next /goal is currently SP2 (the /goal feedback orchestrator), set by a concurrent session — pick whichever thread you want next.
