SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create or configure a Connect program for this opportunity, evaluating whether an existing program fits before provisioning a new one.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read the PDD from ACE/<opp-name>/pdd.md, including the archetype to signal program grouping.
  • Check for existing Connect programs via MCP tools and decide whether to reuse or create a new one based on archetype and domain.
  • Write program details to ACE/<opp-name>/connect-setup/program.md, including Program ID, name, archetype, and configuration.

Quick Start

Determine if an existing Connect program fits the opportunity, or create a new one, and record the outcome in ACE/<opp-name>/connect-setup/program.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a Connect program for a CRISPR opportunity?

Setting up a Connect program involves reading the PDD from ACE/<opp-name>/pdd.md, listing existing programs via MCP tools, and writing final configuration details to ACE/<opp-name>/connect-setup/program.md after evaluating reuse based on archetype and domain.

When do I need to reuse an existing Connect program instead of creating a new one?

You should reuse an existing Connect program when its archetype and domain match the current opportunity's requirements extracted from the PDD. The Skill lists available programs via MCP tools and evaluates these matches to avoid unnecessary provisioning.

What is a PDD and why is it required for Connect program configuration?

A PDD is a Program Design Document located at ACE/<opp-name>/pdd.md that contains the archetype and domain details. It is required because it provides the archetype used to guide program naming, grouping, and the reuse evaluation logic.

Can I configure a Connect program without MCP tools available?

Configuring a Connect program requires MCP tools to list existing programs and determine matches by archetype and domain. Without MCP tools, the Skill cannot evaluate existing programs to decide whether to reuse one or provision a new configuration.

What details are included in the program.md output file for a Connect setup?

The program.md file records the Program ID, name, archetype, and configuration details. Written to ACE/<opp-name>/connect-setup/program.md, it documents the final outcome of the reuse evaluation and the setup configuration for the CRISPR opportunity.
