Defame1297 b55eede1ef docs: implement issues 0013 and 0014 — LESSONS.md and docs/spec/
Add LESSONS.md as the long-loop feedback log at repo root. Patterns
observed during development graduate to standing rules when three or
more entries appear.

Introduce docs/spec/ as the living spec layer: overview.md (deployed
state) and architecture.md (directory structure, install pipeline,
provider model, governance layer). Refactor docs/VISION.md to goals
and intent only — architecture content moved to docs/spec/architecture.md.

Update CLAUDE.md and CONTEXT.md to reference the new spec files.
Close issues 0013 and 0014. Update ROADMAP and factory integration
note to reflect completion.

Warning

This is the repo meta-config. It tells Claude how to work inside this repository itself — structure, conventions, how to add skills/workflows/providers.

It is NOT the global config deployed to ~/.claude/. That file lives at providers/claude-code/CLAUDE.md. Do not conflate the two.

Working in this repo

This repo is the global AI development configuration repository — the authoritative source for agent definitions, skills, workflows, and prompts across all projects.

Structure

  • core/ — provider-agnostic source of truth (plain language, no tool-specific references)
  • .agents/skills/ — canonical skills location (Agent Skills standard); deployed to ~/.agents/skills/ via install.sh
  • providers/claude-code/ — Claude Code adapter (deployed to ~/.claude/ via install.sh)
  • docs/ — project documentation, PRDs, and issues
  • scripts/ — install.sh (sync.sh and init-project.sh come in Chunk 6)
  • tests/ — test scripts

Key documents

Read these at the start of every session in this repo:

  • CONTEXT.md — domain language and principles; challenge any term that conflicts with it
  • docs/VISION.md — purpose, goals, and long-term Management Application vision
  • docs/spec/overview.md — current deployed state; what works today
  • docs/spec/architecture.md — current directory structure, install pipeline, provider model
  • docs/ROADMAP.md — chunk status table and open questions; read this to orient on where work stands
  • docs/ai-constitution.md — full governance evidence base; read when a governance decision needs justification
  • docs/HUMANS.md — human practitioner checklist; applies when working with AI tools in this repo
  • Governance workstream — core/instructions/governance.md (agent rules), loaded via @import in providers/claude-code/CLAUDE.md; docs/research/governance_principles/CONTROLS.md (Phase 2 enforcement spec, Chunk 6)

Key rules

  • core/ content must use plain imperative language — no tool names, provider APIs, or format assumptions
  • Never edit files deployed by sync.sh directly in a project; put customizations in override files
  • providers/claude-code/CLAUDE.md is the deployed global config — edit it there, not here
  • Governance constraints from core/instructions/governance.md apply when building content in this repo — hard prohibitions on secrets and data, HITL requirements before irreversible actions, sycophancy resistance, and deterministic execution preference are always in effect

Chunk development workflow

Each chunk follows this sequence:

  1. /grill-with-docs — grill vision/context before writing anything
  2. /to-prd — write the PRD from the grilling output
  3. /to-issues — break PRD into issues (docs/issues/ until Gitea is set up)
  4. /tdd — implement each issue using TDD
  5. /improve-codebase-architecture — architecture review after implementation
  6. Start a new session before the next chunk

Don't skip /tdd — it's the easy one to forget.

Working context

This repo is built by a junior developer as a homelab tool intended to scale to professional environments. Challenge ideas and reference industry standards rather than validate assumptions. Explain the why behind decisions — assume the user is learning, not just executing. Flag significant actions before taking them.
