SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the creation of a standardized .gid/ project skeleton to accelerate setup and ensure consistency across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a ready-made .gid/ layout including graph.yml, config.yml, requirements.md, design.md, and starter templates for issues and rituals.
  • Enables quick onboarding of new projects or migration of existing codebases into the GID workflow.
  • Integrates with gid init to scaffold the standard structure and enable smooth project governance.

Quick Start

Run gid init in a new project root to generate the standard .gid/ structure and scaffold core documentation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a standardized project structure for a new codebase?

To scaffold a standardized project structure, you can run a project initialization command to automatically generate a directory tree with graph files, configuration files, and starter documentation templates. This ensures consistent layout across new codebases.

What is the best way to onboard an existing codebase into a standardized workflow?

Onboarding an existing codebase into a standardized workflow involves applying project initialization to generate the required skeleton directory and provision starter files like graph.yml and config.yml without disrupting current code.

Do I need any dependencies to generate a project skeleton and starter documentation?

No dependencies are required to generate the project skeleton and starter documentation. The initialization process works standalone to provision the directory tree, issues templates, and ritual scaffolding directly.

What files are included when automating project initialization?

Automating project initialization provisions a directory tree containing graph.yml, config.yml, requirements.md, design.md, and starter templates for issues and rituals to ensure consistent project governance.

Can I use project initialization templates for managing software engineering rituals?

Yes, project initialization templates are specifically designed to scaffold core documentation and starter templates for rituals, ensuring smooth project governance and consistent software engineering workflows.

When should I not use an automated scaffolding tool for project setup?

You should avoid automated scaffolding tools for project setup if your existing codebase already enforces a rigid, custom directory structure that conflicts with standardized graph files and configuration layouts.
