ql-intent-check

Intent-drift audit for quantum-loop. Compares the user's original intent (immutable snapshot) against downstream artifacts (design.md → PRD → quantum.json ACs → implementation) to detect semantic divergence. Flags drift with file:line evidence. Use before merge or when specs feel "rewritten."

# ql-intent-check — intent-drift audit

## Purpose

Long pipelines (brainstorm → spec → plan → execute → review) paraphrase. Each stage re-reads an upstream artifact and rewrites it in its own format. Over 5 stages and 20+ agent invocations, the user's original intent can drift significantly — ACs silently reinterpreted, non-goals forgotten, constraints softened.

Academic backing:
- **Semantic Consensus Framework (SCF, arXiv:2604.16339)**: formally names "Semantic Intent Divergence" as the root cause of multi-agent SWE failures. Prescribes per-agent Semantic Intent Graph + Drift Monitor.
- **Agent Drift (arXiv:2601.04170)**: introduces Agent Stability Index (ASI) and shows all models drift under pressure.
- **Goal Drift in LM Agents (arXiv:2505.02709)**: Claude 3.5 Sonnet holds goals for 100K tokens but drifts under competing objectives.

`ql-intent-check` operationalizes a lean version of SCF's Drift Monitor for quantum-loop's pipeline.
