/archcore:plan track flows

A track is a multi-step cascade. The skill creates each document through MCP in order, wires relations automatically, and pauses for your review before the next step.

--track	Flow	Relations created	Use when
product	idea → prd → plan	prd implements idea, plan implements prd	Lightweight product flow — simple, fast, individual features.
feature	prd → spec → plan → task-type	spec implements prd, plan implements spec, task-type related plan	Full feature lifecycle with formal spec and delivery pattern.
sources	mrd → brd → urd	brd related mrd, urd related mrd, brd	Discovery — market, business, user research.
iso	brs → strs → syrs → srs	strs implements brs, urd; syrs implements strs; srs implements syrs	Regulated systems, multi-team projects, full traceability.

Default (no --track) routes to the product flow.

/archcore:decide continuations

After an ADR is recorded, /archcore:decide offers a follow-up cascade:

Continuation	Flow	Relations created	Use when
Standard chain	adr → (optional cpat) → rule → guide	rule implements adr, guide related rule, cpat related rule	The decision is a team standard that needs enforcement.
Architecture chain	adr → spec → plan	spec implements adr, plan implements spec	The decision needs formal specification and a plan.

/archcore:audit modes

Invocation	Mode	Returns
/archcore:audit	Dashboard (default)	One-screen counts by category, status, type, relation coverage.
/archcore:audit --deep	Full audit	Gaps, staleness, orphans, missing relations, prioritized fixes.
/archcore:audit --deep tag:auth	Scoped audit	Same as --deep but scoped to a tag, type, or category.
/archcore:audit --drift	Staleness scan	Code drift, cascade drift, temporal drift — what’s gone out of date.

Document types

The 18 document types don’t have dedicated slash commands — commands above route to them. Call mcp__archcore__create_document directly when you need a specific type without a routing command.

Layer	Types
Vision	prd, idea, mrd, brd, urd, brs, strs, syrs, srs, plan
Knowledge	adr, rfc, rule, guide, doc, spec
Experience	task-type, cpat
