C3 Sweep: Impact Assessment Team

Sweep the architecture for impact of proposed changes through a team of agents that read C3 docs dynamically.

Precondition: C3 Adopted

Run npx -y @lagz0ne/c3x list --json via Bash. STOP if it fails or returns empty.

If missing:

This project doesn't have C3 architecture docs yet. Use the c3-onboard skill to create documentation first.

How It Works

This skill creates an Agent Team with a lead and specialized workers:

You (user)
  ↕ conversation
Team Lead (c3-sweep-lead agent, delegate mode)
  ↕ coordinates
Workers:
  - Container workers (read container docs, delegate to component workers)
  - Component workers (inspect code against docs + refs)
  - Ref workers (check convention compliance)

Execution

HARD RULE: Your FIRST action must be to spawn the c3-sweep-lead agent. Do not read C3 docs yourself, do not create teams yourself, do not assess impact yourself. The lead handles everything.

Spawn the lead:

Task tool:
  subagent_type: "c3-skill:c3-sweep-lead"
  prompt: "<pass the user's full change request / question here>"
  mode: "delegate"

The lead will:

1. Load topology — Run npx -y @lagz0ne/c3x list --json to get full system structure (entities, relationships, frontmatter)
2. Identify entities — Match the change to affected containers, refs, and ADRs from the JSON
3. Delegate — Spawn container + ref workers in parallel for deep inspection
4. Synthesize — Collect advisories into a unified impact assessment

The lead communicates back when it needs clarification. Relay these to the user and pass their responses back.

Team Configuration

The lead operates in delegate mode (coordination only, never modifies code or docs). The lead creates its own Agent Team via TeamCreate and spawns workers into it. Workers read C3 docs directly.

Worker Tiers

Worker	Role
Container	Reads container README, identifies affected components, spawns component workers
Component	Inspects actual code against component doc + applicable refs
Ref	Checks whether the change complies with or violates conventions

Assessment Output

The lead synthesizes all worker advisories into:

1. Affected Entities — which containers and components, with reasons
2. Constraint Chain — all conventions, refs, and ADRs that apply
3. File Changes — specific files that would need modification
4. Risks — edge cases, relationship impacts, ADR conflicts
5. Recommended Approach — step-by-step plan respecting all constraints
