This document defines the operational rules for updating ai-dev-os.
| Section | Update Frequency | Impact Scope | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
01_philosophy/ |
Extremely rare | All projects | Changes to core philosophy require a MAJOR version bump |
02_decision-criteria/ |
Rare | All projects | Changes to decision criteria require consistency checks with downstream guidelines |
03_guidelines/common/ |
Medium | All projects | Changes to common standards require verification of impact on all frameworks |
03_guidelines/frameworks/ |
High | Projects using the relevant FW | Keep up with framework updates |
04_ai-prompts/ |
Medium | AI assistant users | Prompt improvements can be made freely |
templates/ |
Medium | New projects only | No impact on existing projects |
Common to all sections:
- Do not include project-specific descriptions (specific service names, specific domain terminology)
- When concrete examples are needed, use generic examples with placeholders such as
{domain},{Payment Service}, etc. - After changes, update the directory structure in
README.mdto reflect the latest state
Language Policy:
01_philosophy/and02_decision-criteria/contain sample content in English. After cloning, rewrite these in your native language — abstract thinking and decision-making frameworks are best expressed in the native language to preserve nuance- All other sections (
03_guidelines/,04_ai-prompts/,templates/) must be written in English — for AI compatibility and international accessibility - Multilingual operation guides are maintained in
docs/i18n/(JA, ZH, KO, ES) - When adding or updating content, always follow this language policy
Updating 01_philosophy/:
- The repository contains sample content. After cloning, rewrite in your native language
- When adding new principles, verify there are no contradictions with existing principles
- Deletions and major changes are treated as MAJOR versions
- Also verify consistency with
02_decision-criteria/and below
Updating 02_decision-criteria/:
- The repository contains sample content. After cloning, rewrite in your native language
- When changing decision criteria, check whether the corresponding sections in
03_guidelines/also need updates - When adding new decision axes, verify whether corresponding guidelines exist
Updating 03_guidelines/:
- Be careful not to duplicate content between
common/andframeworks/ - Periodically review whether content that should be shared is written only in framework-specific files
- See "2. Adding Framework Guidelines" for details
Cross-Repository Sync for 03_guidelines/common/:
See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full sync procedure, file-by-file sync table, and quick diff command.
Updating templates/:
- Templates are for new projects. Do not auto-apply to existing projects
- Configuration files (pyproject.toml, ruff config, etc.) must be consistent with
03_guidelines/standards
Conditions for adding new framework guidelines:
| Condition | Required/Recommended |
|---|---|
| Used in 2 or more projects | Required |
Framework-specific patterns that cannot be expressed in common/ |
Required |
| Framework is at stable release (v1.0+) | Recommended |
| Expected to be maintained long-term | Recommended |
03_guidelines/frameworks/{framework-name}/
├── overview.md # Technology stack definition (required)
├── project-structure.md # Directory structure (required)
└── ... # Framework-specific guidelines
The required entry point for all framework guidelines. Include:
# {Framework} Technology Stack
## Core
- Framework: {Name} v{Version}
- Language: Python (with type hints, mypy/pyright strict mode)
- Package Manager: {uv / pip / poetry}
## Recommended Libraries
{List recommended libraries by category}
## Prerequisites
{Specify relationship with common/ guidelines}Directory structure guidelines. Follow these principles:
- Apply concepts already defined in
common/(vertical slices, dependency rules, etc.) as-is - Only describe framework-specific directory conventions
- Use placeholders like
{domain}for concrete examples
Relationship with corresponding common/ guidelines:
| Pattern | Approach |
|---|---|
| Applies common content as-is | Do not create a file on the framework side |
| Content that extends common | Create on framework side, referencing common and describing only the differences |
| Framework-specific concepts | Create only on the framework side |
File naming rules:
- Use the same name when corresponding to
common/(e.g.,common/security.md→python-cli/security.md) - Use descriptive names for framework-specific concepts (e.g.,
dependency-injection.md,cli-commands.md)
templates/{framework-name}/
├── CLAUDE.md.template # CLAUDE.md template (required)
├── submodule-setup.sh # Setup script (recommended)
├── .claude/skills/ # Claude Code skills (recommended)
└── {configuration files} # pyproject.toml, ruff config, etc.
- Add the new framework to the directory structure
- Add framework-specific instructions to the introduction section if needed
common/ → "What to do" (language/FW-independent rules)
frameworks/xxx/ → "How to implement" (FW-specific implementation patterns)
common/validation.md→ "Server-side validation is required" "Pydantic recommended"frameworks/python-cli/validation.md→ "Pydantic model validation with Typer argument parsing"frameworks/fastapi/validation.md→ "Request body validation with Pydantic models and dependency injection"
common/error-handling.md→ "Error classification" "Principles for user display"frameworks/python-cli/error-handling.md→ "Custom exception hierarchy with Typer exit codes"
- overview.md and project-structure.md have been created
- No project-specific descriptions are included
- No content duplication with
common/ - Appropriate references to
common/where applicable -
templates/{framework}/CLAUDE.md.templatehas been created - Directory structure in
README.mdhas been updated - Released as MINOR version or higher
See CONTRIBUTING.md for versioning rules (MAJOR/MINOR/PATCH).
Breaking change handling: File deletion or renaming requires a MAJOR version. When moving files, leave a one-line redirect at the old path and remove it in the next MAJOR version.
