Update skills documentation to reflect changes in directory structure and terminology. Replace references to integration tests with blackbox tests across various SKILL.md files and templates. Revise paths in planning and deployment documentation to align with the updated _docs/02_document/ structure. Enhance clarity in task management processes and ensure consistency in terminology throughout the documentation.

# Autopilot State Management
## State File: `_docs/_autopilot_state.md`
The autopilot persists its state to `_docs/_autopilot_state.md`. This file is the primary source of truth for re-entry. Folder scanning is the fallback when the state file doesn't exist.
### Format
```markdown
# Autopilot State
## Current Step
flow: [greenfield | existing-code]
step: [1-10 for greenfield, 1-12 for existing-code, or "done"]
name: [step name from the active flow's Step Reference Table]
status: [not_started / in_progress / completed / skipped / failed]
sub_step: [optional — sub-skill internal step number + name if interrupted mid-step]
retry_count: [0-3 — number of consecutive auto-retry attempts for current step, reset to 0 on success]
When updating `Current Step`, always write it as:
flow: existing-code ← active flow
step: N ← autopilot step (sequential integer)
sub_step: M ← sub-skill's own internal step/phase number + name
retry_count: 0 ← reset on new step or success; increment on each failed retry
Example:
flow: greenfield
step: 3
name: Plan
status: in_progress
sub_step: 4 — Architecture Review & Risk Assessment
retry_count: 0
Example (failed after 3 retries):
flow: existing-code
step: 2
name: Test Spec
status: failed
sub_step: 1b — Test Case Generation
retry_count: 3
## Completed Steps
| Step | Name | Completed | Key Outcome |
|------|------|-----------|-------------|
| 1 | [name] | [date] | [one-line summary] |
| 2 | [name] | [date] | [one-line summary] |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
## Key Decisions
- [decision 1: e.g. "Tech stack: Python + Rust for perf-critical, Postgres DB"]
- [decision N]
## Last Session
date: [date]
ended_at: Step [N] [Name] — SubStep [M] [sub-step name]
reason: [completed step / session boundary / user paused / context limit]
notes: [any context for next session]
## Retry Log
| Attempt | Step | Name | SubStep | Failure Reason | Timestamp |
|---------|------|------|---------|----------------|-----------|
| 1 | [step] | [name] | [sub_step] | [reason] | [date-time] |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
(Clear this table when the step succeeds or user resets. Append a row on each failed auto-retry.)
## Blockers
- [blocker 1, if any]
- [none]
```
### State File Rules
1. **Create** the state file on the very first autopilot invocation (after state detection determines Step 1)
2. **Update** the state file after every step completion, every session boundary, every BLOCKING gate confirmation, and every failed retry attempt
3. **Read** the state file as the first action on every invocation — before folder scanning
4. **Cross-check**: after reading the state file, verify against actual `_docs/` folder contents. If they disagree (e.g., state file says Step 3 but `_docs/02_document/architecture.md` already exists), trust the folder structure and update the state file to match
5. **Never delete** the state file. It accumulates history across the entire project lifecycle
6. **Retry tracking**: increment `retry_count` on each failed auto-retry; reset to `0` when the step succeeds or the user manually resets. If `retry_count` reaches 3, set `status: failed` and add an entry to `Blockers`
7. **Failed state on re-entry**: if the state file shows `status: failed` with `retry_count: 3`, do NOT auto-retry — present the blocker to the user and wait for their decision before proceeding
## State Detection
Read `_docs/_autopilot_state.md` first. If it exists and is consistent with the folder structure, use the `Current Step` from the state file. If the state file doesn't exist or is inconsistent, fall back to folder scanning.
### Folder Scan Rules (fallback)
Scan `_docs/` to determine the current workflow position. The detection rules are defined in each flow file (`flows/greenfield.md` and `flows/existing-code.md`). Check the existing-code flow first (Step 1 detection), then greenfield flow rules. First match wins.
## Re-Entry Protocol
When the user invokes `/autopilot` and work already exists:
1. Read `_docs/_autopilot_state.md`
2. Cross-check against `_docs/` folder structure
3. Present Status Summary with context from state file (key decisions, last session, blockers)
4. If the detected step has a sub-skill with built-in resumability (plan, decompose, implement, deploy all do), the sub-skill handles mid-step recovery
5. Continue execution from detected state
## Session Boundaries
After any decompose/planning step completes, **do not auto-chain to implement**. Instead:
1. Update state file: mark the step as completed, set current step to the next implement step with status `not_started`
- Existing-code flow: After Step 3 (Decompose Tests) → set current step to 4 (Implement Tests)
- Existing-code flow: After Step 7 (New Task) → set current step to 8 (Implement)
- Greenfield flow: After Step 5 (Decompose) → set current step to 6 (Implement)
2. Write `Last Session` section: `reason: session boundary`, `notes: Decompose complete, implementation ready`
3. Present a summary: number of tasks, estimated batches, total complexity points
4. Use Choose format:
```
══════════════════════════════════════
DECISION REQUIRED: Decompose complete — start implementation?
══════════════════════════════════════
A) Start a new conversation for implementation (recommended for context freshness)
B) Continue implementation in this conversation
══════════════════════════════════════
Recommendation: A — implementation is the longest phase, fresh context helps
══════════════════════════════════════
```
These are the only hard session boundaries. All other transitions auto-chain.
