# CTO AI Delegation Template

**Template for founder CTOs to delegate development work to AI agents as a complete team**

## 🚀 Quick Start

**Download and setup this template:**

1. **Download the latest milestone:** Download the zip file from your chosen milestone tag
2. **Extract to your project directory:** `unzip milestone.zip`
3. **Initialize git repository:**
   ```bash
   git init
   git add .
   git commit -m "Initial commit from CTO delegation template"
   git branch -M main
   git remote add origin YOUR_REPOSITORY_URL
   git push -u origin main
   ```
4. **Create required branches:**
   ```bash
   git checkout -b INTEGRATION-WIP && git push -u origin INTEGRATION-WIP
   git checkout -b RELEASE && git push -u origin RELEASE
   git checkout main
   ```

## 🤖 AI Agent Quick Start

**For immediate AI delegation, tell your AI agent:**

1. **Read the LLM-optimized instructions:** `docs/AGENT-LLM.MD`
2. **Update project info:** Fill in bracketed fields in `docs/WORKLOG-LLM.md`
3. **Start first feature:** Follow the deterministic workflow in AGENT-LLM.MD

## 📚 Documentation Structure

### For AI Agents (LLM-Optimized)
- **`docs/AGENT-LLM.MD`** - Complete AI workflow reference (READ THIS FIRST)
- **`docs/WORKLOG-LLM.md`** - Session tracking and progress
- **`docs/CURRENTWORK-LLM.md`** - Detailed notes and decisions

### For Humans (Comprehensive)  
- **`docs/GIT_WORKFLOW.MD`** - Complete git workflow documentation
- **`docs/AGENT.MD`** - Human-readable AI agent guidelines
- **`docs/WORKLOG.md`** - Human-readable progress tracking
- **`docs/CURRENTWORK.md`** - Human-readable detailed session logs

## 🎯 CTO Delegation Philosophy

This template enables deterministic AI delegation by:

1. **Strict Workflow Enforcement** - AI agents follow exact command sequences
2. **Complete Audit Trail** - Every decision and change is logged
3. **Branch Preservation** - Never lose work, maintain complete history
4. **Milestone Tracking** - Clear progress markers and achievements
5. **Deterministic Outcomes** - Consistent results across AI sessions

## 🏗️ Project Structure

```

## 🔧 Workflow Overview

1. **AI agents read `docs/AGENT-LLM.MD`** for complete instructions
2. **Every session updates both worklog files** with progress and decisions  
3. **Features developed on dedicated branches** with descriptive names
4. **Milestones tagged** when major features/stages complete
5. **Integration testing** through INTEGRATION-WIP branch
6. **Production releases** through manual RELEASE branch PRs

## ⚙️ Customization

**After setup, customize for your project:**

1. Replace this README.md with your actual project README
2. Update bracketed fields in `docs/WORKLOG-LLM.md` 
3. Modify workflow rules in `docs/AGENT-LLM.MD` if needed
4. Set up repository protection rules as described in documentation
