ACL RFC Series Index (0007–0013)#

Status: Living index
Date: 2026-07-09
Vision source: agent-coordination.md (RFC-0007; original root spec.md retired)
Shipped reference: docs/reference/agent-coordination.md

This index tracks the buildable RFC series that evolves Metagit from a multi-repo catalog into an agent coordination / operating layer. Each RFC has a design spec and an implementation plan under docs/superpowers/.

Shared locks (all RFCs)#

  • Depends on RFC-0007 ACLmetagit.core.coordination, CLI branch|lease|worktree|claim, MCP tools, persistence under session/manifest root .metagit/{branches,leases,worktrees,claims,agents,events}/, configurable workspace.worktrees_path (default .worktrees).
  • Modality default: CLI + MCP + core services + docs/skills. No SPA. Thin /v3/ops only when remote-state sharing is required.
  • Persistence default: local JSON under session/manifest root. No SQLite/Postgres migration in 0008–0013 unless a specific RFC explicitly opens that door (default: closed).
  • Lease naming: ACL branch leases ≠ handoff claim TTL (metagit context handoff claim --ttl).
  • Git authority: advisory claims / semantic ownership never replace Git as source of truth for code.
  • Public docs: do not add docs/reference/rfc-000N* stubs until that RFC ships; keep build docs here.

Dependency graph#

RFC-0007 ACL (shipped)
  └─► RFC-0008 Task Graph & Intent Engine
        ├─► RFC-0009 Agent Context Compiler
        ├─► RFC-0011 Merge Orchestrator & Conflict Resolution
        │     └─► RFC-0012 Distributed Agent Scheduler
        └─► RFC-0010 Semantic Repository Knowledge Graph
              (may parallel 0009 after 0008 models exist; feeds claim advice)
RFC-0013 Agent Operating System (composition only)
  (after 0008–0012 foundations exist enough to compose; no new engines)

Status table#

RFC Title Design Plan Depth Status
0007 Agent Coordination Layer (foundation) agent-coordination.md Historical Cursor plan rfc-0007_acl_foundation_*.plan.md (local) executed Shipped
0008 Task Graph & Intent Engine design plan fuller Implemented (branch feat/rfc-0008-task-graph)
0009 Agent Context Compiler design plan phased Implemented (same branch)
0010 Semantic Repository Knowledge Graph design plan fuller (TDD) Implemented (in progress on feat/rfc-0010-0011; Task 9 GitNexus import deferred)
0011 Merge Orchestrator & Conflict Resolution design plan fuller (TDD) Implemented (branch feat/rfc-0010-0011)
0012 Distributed Agent Scheduler design plan fuller (TDD) Implemented (branch feat/rfc-0012-agent-scheduler)
0013 Agent Operating System (composition) design plan phased (TDD) Implemented (branch feat/rfc-0013-aos)

Next MR#

ACL RFC series 0008–0013 complete on branch feat/rfc-0013-aos (worktree .worktrees/rfc-0013). Merge RFC-0013 to close the composition façade. Follow-on work is outside this series (no new engines in 0013).

RFC-0012 shipped on main via PR #63. RFC-0010 + RFC-0011 shipped on main via PR #62 (GitNexus import for RFC-0010 Task 9 remains deferred/optional).

RFC Title Design Plan Status
0014 Metagit Atlas (repo-local semantic layer) design plan Phase 0–1 Proposed — not an ACL engine; complements 0009/0010/GitNexus
0015–0018 Central State Plane series (org control plane, catalog, harness, ontology) series index (pending) Proposed — persistence/control-plane follow-on; does not reopen ACL engines

Document conventions#

Each design includes: Summary, Goals, Non-Goals, Architecture, Interfaces, Persistence, Events, Acceptance, Dependencies, Open questions (or locked Decisions).

Each plan includes: Goal, Architecture, Tech stack, Out of scope, file map, ordered phases/tasks with checkboxes. RFC-0008 and RFC-0010 include bite-sized TDD steps.
