Kjell Tore Guttormsen 2da95b3cd3 feat(ultraplan-local): v2.2.0 — /ultra-cc-architect-local
New optional command between /ultraresearch-local and /ultraplan-local that
matches brief+research against Claude Code features (hooks, subagents, skills,
output-styles, MCP, plan-mode, worktrees, background-agents) and produces an
architecture note with brief-anchored rationale plus explicit gaps.

Added:
- commands/ultra-cc-architect-local.md (--project, --fg, --quick, --no-gaps)
- agents/architect-orchestrator.md (opus) — 6-phase background orchestrator
- agents/feature-matcher.md (sonnet) — fallback-ranked feature proposals
- agents/gap-identifier.md (sonnet) — 4 gap classes with issue-ready drafts
- agents/architecture-critic.md (sonnet) — hallucination gate as BLOCKER
- skills/cc-architect-catalog/ — SKILL.md + 10 seed entries (reference/pattern)

Changed (non-breaking):
- commands/ultraplan-local.md — auto-discovers architecture/overview.md
- agents/planning-orchestrator.md — cross-references cc_features_proposed
- plugin.json — 2.1.0 → 2.2.0, description, cc-architecture keyword
- CHANGELOG, README, CLAUDE.md (plugin + marketplace root)

Pipeline becomes brief → research → architect → plan → execute. Architect is
optional; existing project dirs keep working unchanged.

Output Styles — Reference

Output styles let a user or plugin shape how Claude Code responds: length defaults, formatting preferences, tone, verbosity. They apply across the session rather than needing to be re-stated per prompt.

Where they live

  • Built-in styles — shipped with the CLI.
  • Custom styles — directory with a manifest describing the style.
  • Selection — the user sets an active style via settings or a /style command. The style is injected into Claude's system context.

What a style can control

  • Default response length baseline ("keep responses ≤ 100 words unless detail is required").
  • Formatting rules (markdown vs plain, code-block conventions).
  • Tone ("terse", "pedagogical", "adversarial").
  • Domain voice (Norwegian for dialog, English for code — a project convention encoded as a style).

What a style cannot control

  • Tool permissions (that is allowed-tools / settings.json).
  • Hooks (those are harness-level).
  • Agent system prompts (those come from agent definitions).

When to use a custom style

  • The project has a persistent communication convention that should hold across every session (e.g., "never use emojis").
  • Multiple users share the project and want consistent output.
  • A skill's prompts would otherwise have to restate formatting rules each time.

When not to

  • For per-task formatting needs — use the prompt instead.
  • For rules that must hold against prompt injection — use hooks.

Practical shape

A minimal custom style is a markdown or plain-text block listing the conventions. Claude treats it as top-of-system guidance. Keep it short: long styles crowd out the task.
