Current Task

Finalize

AI_DEVELOPMENT_SYSTEM.md

This is an editorial refinement only.

Do NOT modify the architecture.

Do NOT change the development workflow.

Do NOT redesign any governance process.

Do NOT remove any existing sections.

Apply only the improvements listed below.

---

Purpose

This is the final editorial review before AI_DEVELOPMENT_SYSTEM.md becomes the official governance baseline for the project.

The document should remain technically identical.

Only clarity, completeness, and readability may improve.

---

Phase 1

Model Independence

Immediately after

12. Account Rotation Strategy

add

12.5 Model Independence

Explain that:

- The repository is the source of truth.
- AI models are interchangeable.
- Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or future models may all participate.
- No implementation may depend on model-specific memory.
- Prompts, documentation, implementation memories, and repository history guarantee deterministic development regardless of AI provider.
- AI vendor changes do not affect architecture or implementation correctness.

Do not reference specific commercial limitations.

Keep the wording vendor-neutral.

---

Phase 2

Repository as Product Memory

Within

Section 6 (Memory System)

or immediately after it,

add a subsection named

Repository as Product Memory.

Explain that the repository stores:

- Architecture
- Documentation
- Planning
- Prompts
- Implementation history
- Review history
- Design revisions
- Sprint planning
- AI memories

State clearly that:

"The repository is the project's permanent memory.
AI memory is temporary."

---

Phase 3

Unified Development Diagram

Before

Section 4 Development Lifecycle

insert one high-level diagram describing the complete system.

Example flow:

Business Vision

↓

Architecture

↓

Documentation

↓

Planning

↓

Prompt

↓

AI Implementation

↓

Review

↓

Approval

↓

Git

↓

Repository

↓

Memory

↓

Next Session

The diagram should summarize the entire methodology in one place.

---

Phase 4

What AI Must Never Do

Immediately after

Section 10 Implementation Rules

add a subsection:

10.x What AI Must Never Do

Summarize the absolute prohibitions.

Include:

- Guess architecture
- Create undocumented files
- Ignore documentation conflicts
- Continue after a failed quality gate
- Modify frozen architecture
- Execute Git operations without authorization
- Skip implementation reports
- Expand scope beyond Files Expected
- Replace human approval

Keep the wording concise.

---

Phase 5

Core Principle Highlight

Near the beginning of the document,

after the introductory statement,

insert a highlighted callout.

Use the following sentence exactly:

> **The repository is the source of truth — not the AI's memory.**

Then explain in one short paragraph why every AI session begins by reading the repository instead of relying on conversational memory.

---

Phase 6

Future Evolution

Expand Section 17 slightly.

Add one subsection:

AI Capability Evolution

Explain that:

- Larger context windows
- Better reasoning
- Better planning
- Better code generation

may reduce operational overhead,

but they never replace:

- Documentation
- Human approval
- Architecture governance
- Design Revision Packs

State that governance evolves more slowly than AI capability.

---

Phase 7

Editorial Polish

Review the complete document.

Improve only:

- consistency
- formatting
- wording
- grammar
- heading hierarchy
- cross references

Do NOT:

- change governance
- change workflow
- change responsibilities
- change authority hierarchy

---

Output

Return the finalized

AI_DEVELOPMENT_SYSTEM.md

and provide a concise summary containing:

1. Sections added
2. Editorial improvements
3. Governance changes (should be: none)
4. Architecture changes (should be: none)
5. Recommended version

If the changes are purely editorial,

recommend:

Version 1.0 (Final)

rather than Version 1.1.
