# Integration Automation Guide
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Configure automatic merging of feature branches to INTEGRATION-WIP for continuous testing
|
||||
**Platform:** Git-native (recommended) or Gitea Actions
|
||||
|
||||
## Git-Native Auto-Merge (RECOMMENDED)
|
||||
|
||||
**Simplest and most reliable approach using git hooks:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Setup automatic git-native integration
|
||||
./setup-git-auto-merge.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works:**
|
||||
- Uses git `post-commit` hooks to automatically merge feature branches to INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
- No external workflows, runners, or Gitea Actions required
|
||||
- Conflicts handled gracefully with clear error messages
|
||||
- INTEGRATION-WIP automatically pushed when feature branches are pushed
|
||||
- Pure git solution - works with any git hosting platform
|
||||
|
||||
**Advantages:**
|
||||
- ✅ No dependency on Gitea Actions or runners
|
||||
- ✅ Works immediately after setup
|
||||
- ✅ Handles conflicts gracefully
|
||||
- ✅ Faster than workflow-based solutions
|
||||
- ✅ No external service dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternative: Gitea Actions Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Only use if git-native approach doesn't meet specific requirements:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Automatic setup:** Use `./setup-integration-automation.sh` (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual setup:** Create `.gitea/workflows/auto-integrate.yml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name: CTO Delegation - Auto-Merge to Integration
|
||||
|
||||
on:
|
||||
push:
|
||||
branches:
|
||||
- 'feature/**'
|
||||
- 'bootstrap'
|
||||
|
||||
jobs:
|
||||
auto-integrate:
|
||||
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||||
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- name: Checkout code

git config user.email "integration@$(git remote get-url origin | sed 's/.*@//; s/:.*//; s/\.git$//')"
|
||||
|

- name: Auto-merge to INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
run: |
|

echo "🔄 Starting auto-merge process for ${{ github.ref_name }}"
|
||||
|

|
||||
|

git push origin INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
echo "✅ Successfully merged $BRANCH_NAME to INTEGRATION-WIP"
|
||||
|
||||
else
|
||||
echo "❌ Merge conflict detected for $BRANCH_NAME"
|
||||
git merge --abort
|
||||
exit 1
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
- name: Integration Success Notification
|
||||
if: success()
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
echo "🎯 Integration completed successfully"
|
||||
echo "Branch: ${{ github.ref_name }} → INTEGRATION-WIP"
|
||||
|
||||
- name: Integration Failure Handling
|
||||
if: failure()
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
echo "🚨 INTEGRATION FAILURE - Manual CTO Resolution Required"
|
||||
echo "Branch: ${{ github.ref_name }}"
|
||||
echo "Conflict with: INTEGRATION-WIP"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gitea-Exclusive Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Create `setup-integration-automation.sh`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
|
||||
echo "🔧 Setting up Integration Automation"
|
||||

|
||||
elif [ -d ".gitea" ] || [ "$1" == "gitea" ]; then
|
||||
PLATFORM="gitea"
|
||||
elif [ -f ".gitlab-ci.yml" ] || [ "$1" == "gitlab" ]; then
|
||||
PLATFORM="gitlab"
|
||||
else
|
||||
echo "🤔 Couldn't detect platform. Please specify: github, gitea, or gitlab"
|
||||
read -p "Enter platform: " PLATFORM
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
echo "📋 Setting up for: $PLATFORM"
|
||||
|
||||
case $PLATFORM in
|
||||
"github")
|
||||
mkdir -p .github/workflows
|

|
||||
"gitea")
|
||||
mkdir -p .gitea/workflows
|
||||
cp docs/workflows/gitea-auto-integrate.yml .gitea/workflows/auto-integrate.yml
|
||||
echo "✅ Gitea Actions workflow created"
|
||||
echo "📝 Remember to set GITEA_TOKEN secret"
|

;;
|
||||
"gitlab")
|
||||
cp docs/workflows/gitlab-ci.yml .gitlab-ci.yml
|
||||
echo "✅ GitLab CI configuration created"
|
||||
;;
|
||||
esac
|
||||
|
||||
echo "🎯 Integration automation setup complete!"
|
||||
echo "📋 Feature branches will now auto-merge to INTEGRATION-WIP"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## AI Agent Instructions Update
|
||||
|
||||
Add to AGENT-LLM.MD:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## INTEGRATION AUTOMATION
|
||||
**Automatic process - no action required**
|
||||
- Feature branches automatically merge to INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
- Conflicts require manual resolution
|
||||
- Check INTEGRATION-WIP branch for test results
|
||||
- Failed integrations create issues/notifications
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing the Integration
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test the automation
|
||||
git checkout bootstrap
|
||||
git checkout -b feature/test-integration
|
||||
echo "test" > test-file.txt
|
||||
git add test-file.txt
|
||||
git commit -m "Test integration automation"
|
||||
git push origin feature/test-integration
|
||||
|
||||
# Check INTEGRATION-WIP after CI runs
|
||||
git checkout INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
git pull origin INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
git log --oneline -5 # Should see auto-merge commit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Common Issues:**
|
||||
1. **Permission denied** - Ensure bot token has write access
|
||||
2. **Merge conflicts** - Manual resolution required
|
||||
3. **Branch protection** - Adjust rules for INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
4. **CI failures** - Check workflow logs for details
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual Integration (Fallback):**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git checkout INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
git pull origin INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
git merge origin/feature/branch-name --no-ff -m "Manual integration: feature/branch-name"
|
||||
git push origin INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
```

# Post-commit hook (automatic dashboard update)
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
./generate-progress-dashboard.sh --quick-update
|
||||
|
||||
# Pre-push hook (validation check)
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
./generate-progress-dashboard.sh --validate-metrics
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scheduled Updates
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Cron job for regular updates (every hour)
|
||||
0 * * * * cd /path/to/project && ./generate-progress-dashboard.sh --auto-update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Security & Access
|
||||
|
||||
### Access Control
|
||||
- Dashboard generated locally (no external dependencies)
|
||||
- Sensitive data filtered from exports
|
||||
- CTO-only access controls via Gitea permissions
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Privacy
|
||||
- No external API calls or data transmission
|
||||
- Git history remains private to repository
|
||||
- Dashboard HTML includes no tracking or analytics
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
1. **No data displayed** - Run bootstrap process first
|
||||
2. **Metrics outdated** - Check git hook installation
|
||||
3. **Dashboard not updating** - Verify file permissions
|
||||
4. **Gitea Pages not working** - Check repository Pages settings
|
||||
|
||||
### Debug Mode
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate dashboard with debug info
|
||||
./generate-progress-dashboard.sh --debug
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate data sources
|
||||
./generate-progress-dashboard.sh --check-sources
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## AI Agent Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### Automatic Updates
|
||||
AI agents automatically trigger dashboard updates when:
|
||||
- Completing milestone tags
|
||||
- Updating worklog files
|
||||
- Pushing feature branches
|
||||
- Creating integration merges
|
||||
|
||||
### Metric Reporting
|
||||
AI agents contribute to metrics by:
|
||||
- Following exact commit message formats
|
||||
- Maintaining worklog file consistency
|
||||
- Tagging milestones with descriptions
|
||||
- Documenting decision rationale
|
||||
|
||||
This provides CTOs with complete visibility into AI development activity without manual overhead.

# RETROSPECTIVE - LLM OPTIMIZED
|
||||
|
||||
**PROJECT:** CTO AI Delegation Framework
|
||||
**STATUS:** PRODUCTION READY ✅
|
||||
**OUTCOME:** Deterministic template for AI team delegation
|
||||
|
||||
## SUMMARY
|
||||
Built complete framework enabling founder CTOs to delegate development work to AI agents (Gemini-CLI, Claude, OpenCode) with deterministic outcomes and professional standards.
|
||||
|
||||
## DELIVERABLES
|
||||
**Core Files:**
|
||||
- `docs/AGENT-LLM.MD` - Primary AI reference (READ THIS FIRST)
|
||||
- `docs/WORKLOG-LLM.md` - Progress tracking template
|
||||
- `docs/CURRENTWORK-LLM.md` - Session logging template
|
||||
- `start-ai-delegation.sh` - Claude CLI automation script
|
||||
|
||||
**Final Milestone:** `bootstrap-framework-complete`
|
||||
|
||||
## KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
|
||||
✅ **Deterministic AI workflow** - Exact command sequences, no ambiguity
|
||||
✅ **Main branch protection** - HUMAN-ONLY, AI never touches main
|
||||
✅ **Bootstrap-first process** - Mandatory 5-step setup sequence
|
||||
✅ **Template system** - Download milestone → unzip → git init workflow
|
||||
✅ **Dual documentation** - Human + LLM optimized versions
|
||||
✅ **Complete audit trail** - Every decision documented
|
||||
✅ **Professional git workflow** - Enterprise-grade branching strategy
|
||||
|
||||
## CRITICAL FIXES MADE
|
||||
1. **Template vs Clone Gap** - Fixed workflow for fresh git init usage
|
||||
2. **Main Branch Crisis** - Implemented absolute AI prohibition on main
|
||||
3. **Bootstrap Requirement** - Added mandatory first-step process
|
||||
4. **Tag Pushing** - All tags must be pushed to remote immediately
|
||||
5. **Command Determinism** - Exact sequences for consistent outcomes
|
||||
|
||||
## WORKFLOW PHASES
|
||||
**Phase 1: Bootstrap (MANDATORY FIRST)**
|
||||
1. Git repo setup - `git init`, main branch creation
|
||||
2. Bootstrap branch - AI working base
|
||||
3. Workflow branches - INTEGRATION-WIP, RELEASE
|
||||
4. Template updates - Fill all `[BRACKETED_FIELDS]`
|
||||
5. Milestone tag - `bootstrap-complete` with push
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 2: Feature Development**
|
||||
- All work branches from bootstrap (NEVER main)
|
||||
- Frequent commits and pushes
|
||||
- Milestone tagging with immediate push
|
||||
- Worklog maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 3: Integration & Release**
|
||||
- INTEGRATION-WIP for testing
|
||||
- RELEASE for production
|
||||
- Complete branch preservation
|
||||
|
||||
## BRANCH STRUCTURE
|
||||
- **`main`** - HUMAN-ONLY (template baseline)
|
||||
- **`bootstrap`** - AI base branch for all work
|
||||
- **`INTEGRATION-WIP`** - Auto-merge testing
|
||||
- **`RELEASE`** - Manual production releases
|
||||
- **`feature/*`** - Development branches
|
||||
|
||||
## USAGE FOR AI AGENTS
|
||||
1. **Download:** `bootstrap-framework-complete` milestone tag
|
||||
2. **Extract:** To project directory
|
||||
3. **Execute:** `./start-ai-delegation.sh` OR manually invoke Claude
|
||||
4. **Follow:** `docs/AGENT-LLM.MD` instructions exactly
|
||||
5. **Bootstrap:** Complete 5-step process immediately
|
||||
|
||||

git checkout -b INTEGRATION-WIP && git push -u origin INTEGRATION-WIP
|
||||
git checkout -b RELEASE && git push -u origin RELEASE
|
||||
git checkout bootstrap
|
||||
# Update template files, commit, tag bootstrap-complete, push tag
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Feature Work (ONGOING):**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git checkout bootstrap && git pull origin bootstrap
|
||||
git checkout -b feature/TASK-NAME
|
||||
# Work, commit frequently, push every 10 commits
|
||||
# Tag milestones: git tag -a name -m "desc" && git push origin name
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## CRITICAL RULES FOR AI
|
||||
1. **NEVER touch main branch** - Human-only zone
|
||||
2. **Bootstrap branch is AI base** - All work starts here
|
||||
3. **Execute bootstrap first** - Mandatory before any development
|
||||
4. **Push all tags immediately** - Never accumulate unpushed tags
|
||||
5. **Update worklogs every session** - Maintain audit trail
|
||||
6. **Follow exact command sequences** - No interpretation or variation
|
||||
|
||||
## STATUS
|
||||
**PRODUCTION READY** - Framework complete and tested
|
||||
**Next:** Implementation, user feedback, Phase 2 enhancements

# CTO AI Delegation Template - Project Retrospective
|
||||
|
||||
**Project:** CTO AI Delegation Framework Development
|
||||
**Timeline:** Single intensive session - 2025-09-05
|
||||
**Outcome:** Production-ready template system for founder CTO delegation to AI teams
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 **Project Objectives Achieved**
|
||||
|
||||
### Primary Goal
|
||||
Create a deterministic framework allowing founder CTOs to delegate development work to AI agents (Gemini-CLI, Claude, OpenCode) while maintaining professional standards and complete oversight.
|
||||
|
||||
### Success Criteria Met
|
||||
- ✅ **Template-based usage** - Download milestone tags, not clone repository
|
||||
- ✅ **Deterministic outcomes** - AI agents follow exact command sequences
|
||||
- ✅ **Professional git workflow** - Enterprise-grade branching and documentation
|
||||
- ✅ **Complete audit trail** - Every decision and change documented
|
||||
- ✅ **CTO oversight maintained** - Clear visibility and control points
|
||||
- ✅ **Branch protection** - Main branch reserved for humans only
|
||||
- ✅ **Milestone tracking** - Clear progress markers and achievements
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📈 **Evolution of Requirements**
|
||||
|
||||
### Initial Request
|
||||
*"DO NOT DO ANY WORK ON THE MAIN BRANCH. Please create a feature branch called LLMBOOTSTRAP..."*
|
||||
|
||||
### Critical Pivot Points
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Template vs Clone Realization**
|
||||
- **Initial:** Documentation assumed cloning existing repository
|
||||
- **Pivotal insight:** Users download milestone tags for fresh `git init` projects
|
||||
- **Solution:** Complete rewrite for template usage with bootstrap-first approach
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Main Branch Protection Crisis**
|
||||
- **Initial:** AI agents could work from main branch
|
||||
- **Critical correction:** "I do not want main touched ever by AI. It should only be touched by humans."
|
||||
- **Solution:** Bootstrap branch as AI base, main branch HUMAN-ONLY
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Determinism Requirements**
|
||||
- **Initial:** General workflow guidance
|
||||
- **Evolution:** "This must be as deterministic and repeatable as possible"
|
||||
- **Solution:** Exact command sequences, mandatory processes, no ambiguity
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
### Branch Strategy
|
||||
- **`main`** - Human-only, template baseline, never touched by AI
|
||||
- **`bootstrap`** - AI agents' base branch for all development work
|
||||
- **`INTEGRATION-WIP`** - Auto-merge target for feature testing
|
||||
- **`RELEASE`** - Manual PR target for production releases
|
||||
- **`feature/*`** - All development work (branched from bootstrap)
|
||||
|
||||
### Documentation Philosophy
|
||||
**Dual Format Approach:**
|
||||
- **Human-optimized** - Comprehensive, contextual, explanatory
|
||||
- **LLM-optimized** - Concise, command-focused, deterministic
|
||||
|
||||
