collab-proof

Surfaces AI collaboration evidence the developer didn't consciously record. Vela 3-layer pipeline × ADHD 4-frame reasoning — prompt-native, zero dependencies.

Layer 01 — Signal detection

Run `git log --oneline -10` and `git diff --stat HEAD~3..HEAD` first.

Classify signal level using this rubric (pick the highest that matches):

**HIGH** → full artifacts (DECISIONS.md + session-history + WORKLOG + HTML)

• New file created, OR
• 4+ files modified, OR
• Explicit option comparison in conversation ("vs", "instead of", "chose X over Y"), OR
• Design discussion lasted 15+ exchanges, OR
• **Bug with root cause diagnosis** — conversation contains WHY the bug happened

(not just "fixed X" but "the bug was caused by Y because Z")

**BUG_FIXING special rule** — override file count: Even if only 1 file changed, classify as HIGH if the conversation contains:

• Root cause explanation ("the bug was...", "this happened because...", "the issue is...")
• Diagnosis process ("I checked...", "turned out...", "the problem was...")
• Fix rationale ("chose this approach because...", "instead of X, used Y because...")

File count doesn't matter for bugs — a well-diagnosed single-file fix is more valuable than a 10-file feature with no discussion.

**MEDIUM** → WORKLOG only

• 1–3 files modified with no root cause discussion, OR
• Minor feature added, no tradeoffs discussed

**LOW** → silence, tell user "Routine session — nothing recorded."

• No code changes, only planning/discussion, OR
• Single trivial change with no context ("change this text", "fix typo", "rename variable")

Show the user: `Signal: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW — [one-line reason]`

Layer 02 — WorkIntentClassifier

Run all four frames simultaneously against conversation context + git diff. Score each frame 0.0–1.0 using the rubric below. Then apply pruning and classification rules.

Frame scoring rubric

**Frame A — Technical** (code churn complexity)

• `1.0` New module/file created, complex logic added (state machine, Lua script, novel algorithm)
• `0.5` Existing function logic modified, simple API endpoint added
• `0.1` Typo fix, comment change, plain text edit

**Frame B — Uncertainty** (developer doubt signals)

• `1.0` Code written then fully rolled back, explicit doubt expressed ("이게 맞나?", "동작 안 하네"), `git revert`
• `0.5` Advice sought from Claude mid-implementation, 2+ revision requests on same area
• `0.0` Uninterrupted directive execution — developer knew exactly what to build

**Frame C — Fork** (decision branch presence)

• `1.0` Two or more alternatives explicitly compared in conversation (A vs B)
• `0.5` No explicit comparison but tradeoff mentioned (performance vs readability)
• `0.0` Single standard approach applied, no alternatives considered

**Frame D — AI contribution** (Claude's actual impact)

• `1.0` Claude identified a bug/edge case the developer hadn't noticed and proposed the fix
• `0.6` Claude generated structural boilerplate/skeleton that significantly accelerated execution
• `0.2` Claude reformatted or transcribed developer-directed code without independent contribution

Pruning rule

Prune any frame scoring < 0.4.

**Exception — High-Speed Execution Guard:** If `Frame A >= 0.8` AND `Frame D >= 0.6`, do NOT prune and do NOT silence the session, even if Frame B = 0.0 and Frame C = 0.0. This is a boilerplate-heavy FEATURE_BUILDING session. Classify immediately as `FEATURE_BUILDING` with `HIGH` signal. Rationale: zero uncertainty in a fast-moving session is a feature, not a reason to discard it.

---

Intent classification

| Surviving frames | Dominant intent | Meaning | |---|---|---| | A high + D mid-high (B, C low) | `FEATURE_BUILDING` | High-velocity feature generation, Claude scaffolding | | B high + A/D high | `BUG_FIXING` or `STUCK` | Active debugging or unresolved looping | | C high + A high | `REFACTORING` or `EXPLORING` | Architecture exploration, weighing alternatives | | All frames < 0.4 | `FLOW_STATE` or LOW | Routine typing, silence unless Layer 01 was HIGH |

If multiple intents tie, pick the one with the highest combined frame score. Record the runner-up — it belongs in the session narrative.

Internal output format

Before proceeding to Layer 03, resolve to this structure (show it to the user):

{
  "frames": {
    "technical": 0.0,
    "uncertainty": 0.0,
    "fork": 0.0,
    "ai_contribution": 0.0
  },
  "pruned": ["list of pruned frame names"],
  "intent": "FEATURE_BUILDING",
  "signal": "HIGH",
  "calibration_note": "one sentence explaining any exception rule applied"
}

Layer 03 — Output

If HIGH signal

**Append to `DECISIONS.md`** — one entry per real fork (Frame C must confirm alternatives existed):

## [YYYY-MM-DD] <title>

**Context**: [Frame A — what forced this choice]
**Decision**: what was chosen
**Alternatives considered**: [Frame C — road not taken]
**Reasoning**: why — prefix "inferred:" if reconstructed from context
**AI contribution**:
  - Identified: [Frame D — something developer missed]
  - Suggested: [Frame D — approach or alternative]
  - Developer-driven: [what the developer decided independently]
**Intent class**: [from Layer 02]
**Signal score**: HIGH
**Outcome**: implemented | pending | reversed

If no real fork existed → write nothing. Never fabricate decisions.

**BUG_FIXING intent: use this format instead:**

## [YYYY-MM-DD] <bug title>

**Root cause**: what actually caused the bug — the WHY, not just the what
**Symptom**: what the developer observed
**Fix**: what was changed
**Why this fix**: rationale — inferred if not stated explicitly
**Alternative fixes considered**: other approaches discussed (if any)
**AI
