# 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
|
|
|
|

- 4 milestone tags with annotations
|
|
- 3 git branches configured
|
|
- 1 automation script
|
|
- 100% main branch protection
|
|
- 0 ambiguous AI instructions
|
|
|
|
**Qualitative:**

|
|
- Complete CTO oversight
|
|
- Audit trail completeness
|
|
|
|
## COMMANDS FOR AI AGENTS
|
|
**Bootstrap (MANDATORY FIRST):**
|
|
```bash
|
|
git init
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit -m "Initial commit from CTO template"
|
|
git branch -M main
|
|
git remote add origin YOUR_REPO_URL
|
|
git push -u origin main
|
|
git checkout -b bootstrap && git push -u origin bootstrap
|
|
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
