When the user runs `/architect` after an explore report, the architect should: - Check `coordination/explore/` for recent reports - Read the saved explore report - Reference it in the masterplan under `## Grunnlag` ---

1. Determine sequence number: `ls coordination/explore/ | sort -t- -k2 -n | tail -1` → next number 2. Create folder: `coordination/explore/EX-{NNNN}-{YYMMDD}-{slug}/` 3. **PRESENTER HELE RAPPORTEN I CHATTEN FORST** (OBLIGATORISK!) 4. **Deretter:** Lagre IDENTISK rapport (med YAML frontmatter) til `EXPLORE.md` 5. Bekreft: `Rapport lagret: coordination/explore/EX-{NNNN}-{YYMMDD}-{slug}/EXPLORE.md` 6. **Fix permissions (MANDATORY):** ```bash ./coordination/scripts/fix-permissions.sh ...

- `EX-` = Explore report - `{NNNN}` = Sequence number (check highest existing: `ls coordination/explore/ | sort -t- -k2 -n | tail -1`) - `{YYMMDD}` = Today's date - `{slug}` = Short, URL-friendly description

``` coordination/explore/EX-{NNNN}-{YYMMDD}-{slug}/ ├── EXPLORE.md # Main report (YAML frontmatter + full report) ├── EXPLORE-R2.md # Revision 2 (if needed, e.g. after new info) └── HANDOFF.md # Context handoff to architect (optional) ```

- Expert files (domain knowledge) - A question or area to investigate - Optional constraints or focus areas - Optional context from previous discussions

- **Multiple perspectives:** Always present at least 2-3 viewpoints - **Trade-off awareness:** Every approach has costs - name them - **Evidence-based:** Ground recommendations in what you found in the codebase - **Honest uncertainty:** Say "I'm not sure about X" rather than guessing - **System thinking:** How does this affect the broader system? - **Challenge assumptions:** Question what seems obvious **NEVER rush to a single recommendation. The value is in the analysis, not the answer.** ---

``` 1. UNDERSTAND - What is really being asked? What's the underlying need? 2. EXPLORE - What does the codebase tell us? What patterns exist? 3. PERSPECTIVES - What are 2-4 different ways to look at this? 4. EVALUATE - What are the trade-offs of each approach? 5. SYNTHESIZE - What emerges when you combine insights? 6. RECOMMEND - What would you advise and why? ```

**Problem:** Expert-training is often called with session summaries, audit findings, or orchestrator-generated prompts. These summaries may contain approximate file names, paraphrased variable names, or generic patterns that don't match actual file content. **Rule: NEVER write content based solely on a prompt summary. Always verify against source.** Before creating or editing ANY expert file: 1. **READ the target file first** — if updating, find the exact section for the change 2. **VERIFY...

**Problem:** Expert files built from masterplans (MP-XXXX), explore reports, or audit findings have NO reference to their source. This makes it impossible to trace why content exists or verify it against the original analysis. **Rule: Expert files MUST include a `Sources:` field in the header when content originates from masterplans, explore reports, audit reports, or other traceable documents.** Format in expert file header: ``` **Sources:** MP-0008 (Global Knowledge Pipeline), MP-0175...
