Development Log (Human Readable)

Date: 2025-09-17 08:55 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Bootstrapped collaboration scaffolding based on SeedPrompt.md.
  • Created dev logs (LLM-optimized and human-readable) and a QUESTIONS.md file.

Details:

  • Rationale: Establish clear, file-based collaboration channels (logs + questions) with minimal noise in chat.
  • Scope: No functional code yet; this is setup to enable fast iteration.

Next Steps:

  • Collect answers in collab/questions/00-bootstrap.md.
  • With clarifications, propose initial design and plan for the wrapper script (crawl phase).

Notes:

  • Tagging a release and using tea is deferred until we have a first runnable wrapper or as directed.

Date: 2025-09-17 09:05 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Introduced collab/ directory; moved QUESTIONS into collab/questions/00-bootstrap.md.
  • Added AGENTS.md; appended housekeeping Addendum to SeedPrompt.md.

Details:

  • Establishes consistent file-based collaboration area and naming scheme.

Next Steps:

  • Await answers to bootstrap questions, then proceed after approval.

Date: 2025-09-17 14:52 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Adjusted questions doc to replace prior “Answers/Explainers” with an “Explainers” section focused on responding to back-questions.

Next Steps:

  • Await your confirmation or additional edits; then, on approval, draft proposal and plan.

Date: 2025-09-17 15:00 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Adopted token/context hygiene policy; moved DevLog under docs/.

Details:

  • Updated AGENTS.md and SeedPrompt addendum to emphasize filesystem-first collaboration and minimal chat.

Next Steps:

  • Continue logging details here, keep chat concise.

Date: 2025-09-17 15:20 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Oriented to the repository layout and prior collaboration artifacts (00 bootstrap questions and 01 proposal).
  • Created 01-round confirmation questions to secure explicit approval before planning.

Details:

  • Added collab/questions/01-codexhelper.md and collab/questions/01-codexhelper.llm.md focused on confirming the proposal and minor options.
  • Will not create a plan until explicitly approved per AGENTS.md sequencing rules.

Next Steps:

  • Await approval in collab/questions/01-codexhelper.md.
  • If approved, draft collab/plan/01-codexhelper.md and begin Phase 1 implementation.

Date: 2025-09-17 15:28 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Adopted one-way progression (no returning to prior step after approval) and in-place editing per step file.
  • Consolidated confirmation items into the proposal; removed redundant questions round.

Details:

  • Updated AGENTS.md sequencing rules to codify one-way progression and .llm.md read policy.
  • Added approval checklist to collab/proposals/01-codexhelper.md and .llm.md.
  • Removed collab/questions/01-codexhelper.* to avoid back-stepping.

Next Steps:

  • Await proposal approval in collab/proposals/01-codexhelper.md.
  • Then create collab/plan/01-codexhelper.md.

Date: 2025-09-17 15:36 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Captured the global system prompt directly (one-time exception) per request and aligned AGENTS.md to reference it.

Details:

  • Added prompts/global/system.md and prompts/global/system.llm.md.
  • Updated AGENTS.md to note the canonical system rules location and reinforce .llm.md-only reading policy and one-way progression.

Next Steps:

  • Use these artifacts for all subsequent work and generated projects.

Date: 2025-09-17 15:42 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Added seed AGENTS templates and a project AGENTS template for scaffolding.

Details:

  • Created meta/AGENTS.seed.md and meta/AGENTS.seed.llm.md as bootstrap references.
  • Created templates/project/_shared/AGENTS.md to be copied into new projects.
  • Updated AGENTS.md to reference the seed templates.

Next Steps:

  • When implementing new-project, copy templates/project/_shared/AGENTS.md into the project root.

Date: 2025-09-17 15:48 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Folded meta/ seed AGENTS and prompts/global/ into the proposal so the upcoming plan includes them.

Details:

  • Updated collab/proposals/01-codexhelper.md and .llm.md to explicitly list meta/AGENTS.seed.*, templates/project/_shared/AGENTS.md, and prompts/global/ in repo/project layouts and acceptance criteria.

Next Steps:

  • Await proposal approval; then codify in collab/plan/01-codexhelper.md.

Date: 2025-09-17 15:55 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Added an explicit governance/propagation rule so that reusable workflow changes are folded into the global system prompt and AGENTS templates and reflected in proposal/plan.

Details:

  • Updated prompts/global/system.{md,llm.md} with a Governance and Propagation section.
  • Updated meta/AGENTS.seed.* and templates/project/_shared/AGENTS.md to include propagation guidance.
  • Reflected this rule in collab/proposals/01-codexhelper.{md,llm.md}.

Next Steps:

  • Apply this propagation practice for future non-project-specific instructions.

Date: 2025-09-17 16:00 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Committed and pushed all recent changes; verified local is in sync with remote.

Details:

  • Conventional Commits used; pushed to origin main.
  • Verified HEAD equals origin/main and working tree is clean.

Next Steps:

  • Await proposal approval; then draft collab/plan/01-codexhelper.md.

Date: 2025-09-17 16:05 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Created Phase 1 implementation plan for CodexHelper.

Details:

  • Added collab/plan/01-codexhelper.md and .llm.md with milestones, deliverables, and acceptance criteria aligned to the approved proposal.

Next Steps:

  • Await plan review/approval; then start implementation.

Date: 2025-09-17 16:12 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Incorporated TDD as a governance rule with full unit/integration tests for all features in this repo and generated projects.

Details:

  • Updated prompts/global/system.{md,llm.md}, meta/AGENTS.seed.*, and templates/project/_shared/AGENTS.md to mandate TDD.
  • Amended the proposal and plan to include TDD milestones and test coverage acceptance criteria.

Next Steps:

  • Execute the plan using TDD, starting with test harness setup and failing tests.

Date: 2025-09-17 16:24 (UTC)

Summary:

  • Added governance: zero technical debt and production-ready at all times (safety first, speed second) for this and generated projects.

Details:

  • Updated system prompts and AGENTS templates to mandate zero-debt and remove any doc/test deferrals.
  • Updated proposal and plan to include this rule and acceptance criteria.

Next Steps:

  • Maintain zero-debt gate during implementation; no merges without tests and docs.
