adopt

Resolved above — use as-is. /adopt also inspects project.yaml and the legacy config files directly when reporting and writing migration state; that raw inspection is deliberate and separate from the resolved values above.

Adopt — Brownfield Template Adoption

This skill audits an existing project's artifacts for format compliance with the template's skill pipeline, then produces a prioritised migration plan.

This is not /project-stage-detect. /project-stage-detect answers: what exists? /adopt answers: will what exists actually work with the template's skills?

A project can have GDDs, ADRs, and stories — and every format-sensitive skill will still fail silently or produce wrong results if those artifacts are in the wrong internal format.

Output: docs/adoption-plan-[date].md — a persistent, checkable migration plan.

Argument modes:

Audit mode: $ARGUMENTS (blank = full)

• No argument / full: Complete audit — all artifact types
• gdds: GDD format compliance only
• adrs: ADR format compliance only
• stories: Story format compliance only
• infra: Infrastructure artifact gaps only (registry, manifest, sprint-status, stage.txt)

Automation mode: Resolve modes.automation (project.local.yaml → project.yaml → default collaborative). Every AskUserQuestion call follows .claude/docs/automation-modes.md (collaborative asks always · guided major-only · autonomous logs and proceeds; automation_always_ask categories always prompt).

workflow (per .claude/docs/workflow-modes.md). It scopes the Phase 2 audit and Phase 3 severity: full audits all doc types at full structure; standard audits only the required docs/sections (optional sections are informational, not gaps); minimal is a design/game-brief.md format check — GDDs/ADRs/UX are not expected. See Phase 2.

Phase 1: Detect Project State

Read references/1-detect.md now and follow it — this phase's steps are in that file, not here. Read it again if the conversation was compacted or resumed during this phase.

Phase 2: Format Audit

Read references/2-format-audit.md now and follow it — this phase's steps are in that file, not here. Read it again if the conversation was compacted or resumed during this phase.

Phase 3: Classify and Prioritise Gaps

Read references/3-classify.md now and follow it — this phase's steps are in that file, not here. Read it again if the conversation was compacted or resumed during this phase.

Phase 4: Build the Migration Plan

Read references/4-migration-plan.md now and follow it — this phase's steps are in that file, not here. Read it again if the conversation was compacted or resumed during this phase.

Phase 5: Present Summary and Ask to Write

Read references/5-summary.md now and follow it — this phase's steps are in that file, not here. Read it again if the conversation was compacted or resumed during this phase.

Phase 6: Write the Adoption Plan

Read references/6-write.md now and follow it — this phase's steps are in that file, not here. Read it again if the conversation was compacted or resumed during this phase.

Phase 7: Offer First Action

Read references/7-first-action.md now and follow it — this phase's steps are in that file, not here. Read it again if the conversation was compacted or resumed during this phase.

Collaborative Protocol

Applies in collaborative mode (the default). For guided and autonomous modes, see .claude/docs/automation-modes.md — the rules below describe what collaborative mode requires, not universal behavior.

1. Read silently — complete the full audit before presenting anything
2. Show the summary first — let the user see scope before asking to write
3. Ask before writing — always confirm before creating the adoption plan file
4. Offer, don't force — the plan is advisory; the user decides what to fix and when
5. One action at a time — after handing off the plan, offer one specific next step, not a list of six things to do simultaneously
6. Never regenerate existing artifacts — only fill gaps in what exists; do not rewrite GDDs, ADRs, or stories that already have content
