ARRIVE Absorb

Bring an existing repository under ARRIVE governance by scanning it and generating an initial draft of ARRIVE artifacts (systems/components) plus a report of unknowns.

Instructions

1. Choose identifiers (fill these in):

• REPO_ID: kebab-case stable id (e.g., acme-payments)
• REPO_NAME: human-friendly name (e.g., Acme Payments)
• DEFAULT_BRANCH: usually main

1. Run the absorb draft:

arrive absorb draft --repo-id REPO_ID --repo-name "REPO_NAME" --default-branch DEFAULT_BRANCH

1. Review outputs:

• arrive/registry.yaml
• arrive/systems/**/system.yaml
• arrive/systems/**/components/*.yaml
• arrive/systems/**/advances/*.md (one "absorb" advance per component)
• arrive/absorb/report.md (created files + unknowns checklist)

Notes

• Safety: the absorb workflow refuses to overwrite existing files (especially advances).
• If arrive/ already exists, rerun with --force only if you intend to regenerate drafts (still no overwrites).
