It observes agent context and gates actions that violate protocol. * Phase 0: Before You Think ** Skill-First Query Rule Before any analysis, debugging, or implementation: check if a skill already covers the problem domain. * Phase A: Design (Test-First) ** 1. Define Success Criteria First Before writing code, write the test that proves the feature works. The test defines the contract. * Phase B: Commit (Recovery Point) ** 2. Commit Before Modify You MUST commit the current workspace state before initiating new file modifications. * Phase C: Build (Implementation) ** 3. Literate Programming (Single Source of Truth) All system logic and skills MUST be implemented as Literate Org files. ** 4. Function-Block Granularity Every Lisp function, macro, or variable resides in its own dedicated ~#+begin_src lisp~ block. ** 5. Tangle Mandate You are forbidden from modifying generated ~.lisp~ files directly. * Phase CDD: Chaos-Driven Development (Hardcoded Resilience) ** 6. Tier 1: Integrity Chaos (Per-Turn) *Mandate:* Every turn involving a tangle MUST end with a "Structural Balance" check. *Enforcement:* The Agent must verify that all tangled artifacts pass the Lisp reader without syntax errors. ** 7. Tier 2: Integration Chaos (Per-Feature) *Mandate:* Every new skill or major feature MUST include an "Adversarial Test Case." *Enforcement:* The test suite must simulate a failure (e.g., mock network drop, malformed input) and prove the system degrades gracefully. ** 8. Tier 3: Systemic Chaos (Per-Milestone) *Mandate:* Before sealing a milestone, the Agent MUST perform a "Scorched Earth" bootstrap. *Enforcement:* Wipe XDG directories and verify a 100% autonomous re-initialization from the git source. * Phase D: Validate (Proof) ** 9. Test Verification No change is complete without running the test suite. Run chaotic tests alongside the main suite. * Phase E: Document (Audit Trail) ** 10. Decision Audit Trail Every significant fix or architectural decision MUST be documented in an org file. * Enforcement Implementation ** Package Context #+begin_src lisp :tangle (concat (identity (getenv "INSTALL_DIR")) "/skills/org-skill-engineering-standards.lisp")" ) (in-package :opencortex) #+end_src ** Global Configuration #+begin_src lisp :tangle (concat (identity (getenv "INSTALL_DIR")) "/skills/org-skill-engineering-standards.lisp")" ) (defvar *engineering-std-project-root* nil "Path to the project root for enforcement checks. #+end_src #+begin_src lisp :tangle (concat (identity (getenv "INSTALL_DIR")) "/skills/org-skill-engineering-standards.lisp")" ) (defstruct engineering-violation (phase nil) (rule nil) (message nil) (severity nil)) #+end_src ** CDD Utilities: Tier 1 #+begin_src lisp :tangle (concat (identity (getenv "INSTALL_DIR")) "/skills/org-skill-engineering-standards.lisp")" ) (defun check-structural-balance (file-path) "Tier 1 Chaos: Verifies that a Lisp file is syntactically balanced."
