QEMU Flow Plan

Use this foundational flow before any non-trivial QEMU modeling, TCG, qtest, debug, build, image packaging, or boot task. Domain and workflow skills extend this flow; they should not duplicate planning mechanics.

For reusable primitive composition rules, read references/flow-primitives.md when a task combines source builds, image packaging, boot runs, verification, or debug windows.

Hard policy boundary

Do not produce source code intended for QEMU upstream submission. QEMU currently declines contributions believed to include or derive from AI-generated content. You may help with research, debugging, analysis, local-only experiments, and verification guidance. Do not add Signed-off-by, Reviewed-by, Acked-by, Tested-by, or similar contribution trailers.

Artifact root rule

All agent-created artifacts MUST live under the QEMU build directory:

build/agent/<task-slug>/

This includes plans, notes, logs, traces, decoded dumps, review ledgers, temporary scripts, generated reports, copied command lines, and scratch data.
