Architectural Approach

This document captures the architectural approach for project development in the AIOS-Public system.

Container Architecture

Layered Approach

  • Base containers provide foundational tools and libraries
  • Specialized containers extend base functionality for specific use cases
  • Each layer adds specific capabilities while maintaining consistency

Naming Convention

  • Use RCEO-AIOS-Public-Tools- prefix consistently
  • Include descriptive suffixes indicating container purpose
  • Follow pattern: RCEO-AIOS-Public-Tools-[domain]-[type]

Security Patterns

  • Minimize root usage during build and runtime
  • Implement non-root users for all runtime operations
  • Use UID/GID mapping for proper file permissions across environments
  • Detect host user IDs automatically through file system inspection

Operational Patterns

  • Create thin wrapper scripts that handle environment setup
  • Use consistent patterns for user ID detection and mapping
  • Maintain same operational workflow across all containers
  • Provide clear documentation in README files

Organization Principles

  • Separate COO mode (operational tasks) from CTO mode (R&D tasks) containers
  • Create individual directories per container type
  • Maintain disciplined file organization to prevent technical debt
  • Keep repository root clean with project-specific files in subdirectories

Documentation Requirements

  • Each container must have comprehensive README
  • Include usage examples and environment setup instructions
  • Document security and permission handling
  • Provide clear container mapping and purpose

Implementation Workflow

  1. Start with architectural design document
  2. Create detailed implementation plan
  3. Develop following established patterns
  4. Test with sample data/usage
  5. Document for end users
  6. Commit with conventional commit messages
