Understand the project

1. Read AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, repository status, relevant source, tests, and existing product documentation in the integration or assigned feature worktree.

2. Read related Kanban tasks and durable specs through the canonical metadata controller. Do not assume .juno_task/plan.md exists and do not materialize controller-private metadata in a product worktree.

3. Trace only the dependencies and runtime paths needed for the requested goal. Use bounded parallel investigation when independent questions justify it.

4. Report current behavior, sources of truth, affected components, risks, unknowns, and the smallest useful validation loop.

5. If the user requested planning, hand the findings to plan-ledger-tasks-yylo. If implementation was requested, work only in the task worktree returned by yy task start TASK_ID.

6. Write a durable operational spec only when requested or materially useful. Draft it externally, preflight the installed yy ledger artifact API, capture it as an immutable report Artifact Record with provenance/retention, and verify retrieval, digest, and history. If that API is unavailable, stop with the external draft intact; never fall back to product docs/, task bodies/responses, new .juno_task/specs, or direct controller-store edits. Product docs/ remains reserved for documentation shipped with the product. Do not update root instructions with transient status.

$ARGUMENTS

When to Use

• Before planning or implementing a requested change, when you need current architecture, dependencies, and validation loops.
• To hand grounded findings to plan-ledger-tasks-yylo (planning) or a task worktree (implementation).

Limitations

• Read-only: reports current behavior, sources of truth, affected components, risks, unknowns, and the smallest validation loop - does not implement.
• Bounded investigation only; do not materialize controller-private metadata in a product worktree.
• Durable specs are captured as immutable Artifact Records only when the installed yy ledger artifact API supports it; otherwise stop with the external draft intact.

Example

yy ledger search --status todo --limit 5
yy ledger get TASK_ID
