This repository is a reusable Project Start Kit for AI-assisted software projects.
It provides a consistent structure for:
- project documentation
- AI coordination
- validation standards
- task tracking
- reusable skills
Project-specific content may still be incomplete or written as placeholders. Do not assume placeholder content is final. When real project details are added, treat the repository documents as the source of truth.
@tasks/todo.md
- Follow the global Claude rules first, then this file, then
docs/ai-workflow.mdfor all process detail. Do not invent process the repo already defines. - Read documents by need, not upfront: design-affecting work →
PROJECT-BRIEF.md+docs/architecture.md; finishing →docs/validation.md; risky/recurring areas →tasks/lessons.md. - One active task at a time in
tasks/todo.md. New ideas go totasks/backlog.mdas one line, immediately. - Level 2-3 work (per
docs/validation.md) requires a plan file inplans/, referenced fromtasks/todo.mdasActive plan:. Level 1 work does not. - Folder discipline: before creating any file, follow the folder map in
docs/architecture.md. Never drop files in the repo root; if a new top-level folder is genuinely needed, updatedocs/architecture.mdfirst. - Before marking work done, run the Close-out Checklist in
docs/ai-workflow.md(worklog, architecture, ADR, lessons, folder check). - Never claim completion without verification per
docs/validation.md; state gaps honestly. - Record meaningful work in
tasks/worklog.md(append-only). A Stop hook will remind you if you forget. - If another actor is actively working on the same task or files: stop, note it in
tasks/todo.md, ask the human. - Keep this file and
AGENTS.mdmirrored: any rule change here must be applied to both in the same edit.
- For non-trivial work, state the approach before broad changes.
- At the end, summarize: what changed, why, what was verified, blockers.
All process detail — tiered reading, plans flow, backlog rule, close-out checklist, worklog format, ADR threshold, subagent notes, growth path — lives in docs/ai-workflow.md.
