Language Policy

All AI outputs must be in English, regardless of the language used in user prompts. This applies to code, comments, documentation, configuration files, commit messages, and response text.

Memory Policy

Do not use Claude memory files to store project information. All project knowledge — domain context, team structure, constraints, decisions, and any other relevant information — must be captured exclusively through the SDLC artifact system (stakeholders, constraints, assumptions, goals, requirements, decisions, etc.). This ensures all knowledge is structured, traceable, and available to every team member working on the project.

Project Overview

This repository uses a structured, AI-first development lifecycle. All project knowledge — specification, design, decisions, tasks — lives alongside the source code.

Current State

Phase: Not initialized

Summary: Pristine framework, not yet initialized. The repository contains the AI SDLC Framework (phase directories, templates, automation skills), ready to be populated starting from the Specification phase after initialization (/SDLC-init).

Current State Protocol

The ### Current State subsection above is the machine-readable project status shared by all skills. Its structure:

• **Phase**: — mandatory first line. One of: Not initialized, Specification, Design, Code. Every skill validates its applicability against this field before acting.
• **Summary**: — mandatory. One or two sentences of free text describing where the project stands.
• Standardized status lines — each optional, appearing at most once, added when its activity first occurs, then updated in place; never removed:

Line	Format	Primary maintainer
**Spec artifacts**:	artifact types worked on so far	SDLC-elicit
**Gap analysis**:	active or passed form — see Assessment lines below	SDLC-elicit
**Design documents**:	drafting status per document	SDLC-design
**Completeness assessment**:	active or passed form — see Assessment lines below	SDLC-design
**Components**:	comma-separated component names	SDLC-decompose
**Implementation plan**:	created YYYY-MM-DD — N phases, M tasks	SDLC-implementation-plan
**Task progress**:	D/M tasks done — currently in Phase N (name)	SDLC-execute-task
