Open-source readiness: MIT LICENSE + README rewrite (Phase 12)#32
Merged
Conversation
Add a root MIT LICENSE (holder: Diego Andres Rabaioli, 2026), repo-root only — not added to template/ or wired into bootstrap-cdd-project.sh, since the template is copied verbatim into downstream projects. Rewrite the README from scratch: lead the quick start with the guided commands (/cdd-bootstrap, /cdd-retrofit, /cdd-quick-create) and demote the manual bootstrap recipe; add a complete 7-command reference; replace the mermaid lifecycle diagram with the task-cycle image (doc/assets/task-cycle.png); remove the "what's in this repo" mermaid diagram; add a short issues-only Contributing section. Kept the two-big-ideas framing, the six-checkpoint concept, the template-smoke badge, and the Status section. Seed roadmap Phase 12 (Open-source readiness): LICENSE and README checked; CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, .github/ templates, SECURITY.md, repo metadata, and public-repo-home/URL finalization left as tracked items.

The Phase 12 change added a repo-root LICENSE but the architecture overview's top-level tree (which enumerates root files like CLAUDE.md and README.md) did not list it. Add it, noting it is repo-root only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Keeps per-user Claude Code local settings (.claude/settings.local.json), env/secret files, and OS/editor junk out of the public repo. Nothing sensitive is tracked today; this is preventive ahead of accepting outside contributors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…image - Replace "Two big ideas" with the three founding objectives (automate-except-decisions, bake-in best practices, improve-the-workflow). - Replace "The lifecycle" with "How it works": the new portrait task-cycle image plus a 10-step walk through one turn of the cycle, correcting the flow (commits are local; the branch is first pushed at PR creation; <project>-worktree / -worktree-done helper names). - Quick start as prose; drop the manual bootstrap recipe (pointer kept). - Remove "What's in this repo". - Add a small "Questions?" section: ask Claude Code in a local clone. - Soften Contributing (issues-only, PR proposals welcome as issues first). - Trim Status. - Refresh doc/assets/task-cycle.png to the new portrait diagram.

Use non-breaking hyphens (U+2011) inside the command code-spans in the two reference tables so GitHub no longer wraps e.g. /cdd-merge-base into "/cdd-merge-" + "base". Visually identical to a normal hyphen; the copyable normal-hyphen forms remain in the prose above. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Phase 12 — prepare CDD to be open-sourced publicly.
LICENSE— standard MIT, repo root only (holder: Diego Andres Rabaioli, 2026). Deliberately not added totemplate/or wired intobootstrap-cdd-project.sh: the template is copied verbatim into downstream projects, which shouldn't drag CDD's license along./cdd-bootstrap,/cdd-retrofit,/cdd-quick-create), keeps the manualbootstrap-cdd-project.shrecipe below; a full reference table of all 7 slash commands; replaces the two Mermaid diagrams with thedoc/assets/task-cycle.pngtask-cycle image; adds an issues-only Contributing section and a License section. Two-big-ideas framing, six-checkpoint concept,template-smokebadge, and Status section retained.doc/architecture/overview.mdnow listsLICENSEin the top-level layout tree.Verification
