Red-green TDD. +- Run locally before pushing; failing tests get fixed before push, not leaned on CI. +- Tests alone never satisfy the Definition of Done - live e2e and QA is also required. + +## Session journaling (second brain) + +> *UNDER CONSTRUCTION - the sync path is laptop-local and will not survive the universal setup; rules below hold until replaced.* + +- Any real work is a goal. One OKF file per goal in `~/Development/aya/brain/journal/` (local-only, never committed). Frontmatter: `type: work_summary, id, domain, goal, objective, key_result, runtime, started_at, state`. `objective`/`key_result` are OKR CODES (`O9`, `KR9.2`) or `none` - never sentences. +- Record milestones AS THEY HAPPEN, in numbers - counts, %, pass/fail, links - never "made good progress". Real challenges only; none is a valid answer. +- ALWAYS close: set `state` done/abandoned + `ended_at`; close the current goal before switching to different work. Then push: `python3 ~/.config/aya/sync-journal.py ` (offline fallback: leave the file). +- Honesty over flourish - this is real visibility, including for Rita's partner. + +## Linear sync (always) + +Linear is the source of truth for what is being worked on (team Arni-build, prefix ARN, `mcp__linear__*`). Every harness syncs at three moments - consulting Linear is part of starting, not a follow-up: + +- **Discovering** -> search first; update the existing issue or create one in the right project. +- **Starting** -> find/create the issue, comment, assign, move to In Progress. +- **Completing** -> Done only with every artifact attached: commits, PRs, proof, deploy links; residual risks as linked issues. +Non-negotiables: no duplicate issues; integrate additively; completion always links commits and PRs; Linear never drifts from reality. Tools unavailable? Say so - never pretend the sync happened. + + + + The Temper kernel: specs, verification, runtime, server, stores, observe, evolution. **Kernel code only** - app and agent logic belongs in temperpaw; if you find it mixed in here, flag it, do not silently relocate it. Global rules (worktrees, PRs, reviews, Definition of Done) come from the stack layer; this file is what is temper-specific. Worktrees live under `~/Development/temper-worktrees/` (the primary at `~/Development/temper` is bare on purpose). diff --git a/scripts/cloud-setup.sh b/scripts/cloud-setup.sh new file mode 100755 index 000000000..d68246c1c --- /dev/null +++ b/scripts/cloud-setup.sh @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env bash +# Bring a cloud agent's environment up to laptop parity: clone the stack and +# install its skills + global instructions the same way the laptop's sync.sh does. +# Cursor/Codex/Claude cloud all run this from their environment setup step. +# The repo's own AGENTS.md already carries the vendored global block, so this is +# only needed for the shared SKILLS (interrogate, verify, deterministic-simulation, etc.). +set -euo pipefail +STACK_DIR="${STACK_DIR:-$HOME/stack}" +if [ ! -d "$STACK_DIR/.git" ]; then + git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/arni-labs/stack "$STACK_DIR" +else + git -C "$STACK_DIR" pull --ff-only || true +fi +# install skills into every harness root this environment has +bash "$STACK_DIR/sync.sh" || echo "sync.sh reported issues (non-fatal for skills that linked)" +echo "cloud-setup: stack skills installed from $STACK_DIR"
