# Archived Operational Documents

This directory contains detailed operational documents from the ADR pilot program kickoff.

**These files are reference-only and have been archived to keep the main working directory lean.**

## What's Here

|------|---------|-----------|
| `SLACK_ANNOUNCEMENT_TEMPLATE.md` | Message to announce pilot to team | Before kickoff meeting (post 24-48 hours before) |

## Quick Access

**If you're running a kickoff meeting** → Start with `FACILITATOR_GUIDE.md`

**If you're announcing the pilot** → Use `SLACK_ANNOUNCEMENT_TEMPLATE.md`

**If you're setting up the process** → Use `EXECUTION_CHECKLIST.md` and `PR_TEMPLATE_UPDATE.md`

**If you need a detailed agenda** → See `KICKOFF_AGENDA.md`

## Why These Are Archived

These documents are:
- ✅ Comprehensive and detailed
- ✅ Important for initial setup
- ❌ Not needed day-to-day after pilot launch
- ❌ Would clutter the main working directory

By archiving them, we keep `.knowledge/adrs/` lean (5 core files) while preserving all detail for reference.

## How to Use

All files are still fully accessible:

```bash
# View a specific file
cat archived/operational/FACILITATOR_GUIDE.md

# Search within archived docs
grep -r "First Pancake" archived/operational/

# Copy to working directory if needed
cp archived/operational/KICKOFF_AGENDA.md ../
```

## Context

These documents were created as part of the DSS Core Principles pilot program (December 2025).

- **Pilot Project**: dss_sync_figma
- **Pilot Team**: [Your team members]
- **Duration**: 4 weeks (Weeks 1-4 of December)
- **Goal**: Test Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) as a lightweight process for capturing architectural decisions

For ongoing ADR work, use:
- `.knowledge/adrs/000-template.md` — Create new ADRs
- `.knowledge/adrs/README.md` — Guide for creating ADRs
- `.knowledge/adrs/PRINCIPLES_CORE_REFERENCE.md` — Quick principle lookup
- `.knowledge/adrs/ADR_KNOWLEDGE_MAP.md` — How decisions trace back to principles
