work-items/decompose: carry the Brief's goal and constraints into each item #7605
Description
Parent
Refs #7587 (verification and implementation). Source: PLAN Phase 2, topic poteto-review.
Depends on
- verification/confirm: probe whether confirm reads the PLAN.md Brief #7594 Q148 probe
- pr-pipeline: admit marked epic slices in the resolve-issue lane #7596 resolve-issue admission (lane enabler)
- pr-pipeline: promote admitted items to agent-ready when their last blocker closes #7599 auto-unblock (lane enabler)
Outcome
/work-items:decompose run without a spec container carries the Brief's Goal and Constraints into
each item it publishes.
Decisions
- R5 of the intent chain (D95). Origin: ours.
Key interfaces
None beyond the decompose item template (Parent, Depends on, Outcome, Key interfaces, Done when, Out of
scope).
Done when
- An eval case added to decompose shows a no-container item body carrying the Brief's Goal and
Constraints; it fails on main and passes after. -
bash plugins/skill-quality/scripts/check-skill.sh plugins/work-items/skillsexits 0.
Out of scope
- The container path, which already carries the Brief.
- Merging unattended: the PR carries
do-not-mergeuntil the Merge authority thread passes (B10).

Understood: this asks
/work-items:decompose, when run without a spec container, to carry the Brief's Goal and Constraints into the body of each published item, so no-container items retain that context (the container path already does). Done-when criteria are concrete: an eval case showing a no-container item carrying Goal/Constraints, failing on main and passing after, pluscheck-skill.shpassing onplugins/work-items/skills. The issue is well-specified, scoped, and lists its dependencies (#7594, #7596, #7599) and parent (#7587) explicitly, with the PR expected to carrydo-not-mergeuntil those land. No duplicate found covering this specific no-container carry-through behavior. Nothing appears missing for someone to start the implementation once the listed dependencies are unblocked.Automated triage. A maintainer reviews it.
