Setup ASDLC

Overview

Initialize a repository for ASDLC adoption by creating AGENTS.md template, directory structure (specs/, .plans/), and basic configuration. This command prepares repositories to use ASDLC patterns while remaining optional—other commands work without running setup.

Definitions

• AGENTS.md: Agent Constitution file that defines project context, operational boundaries, and command registry for AI agents.
• specs/: Directory containing permanent living specifications for features.
• .plans/: Directory containing transient task-level implementation plans.
• schemas/: Directory containing JSON Schema definitions for validation (Standardized Parts pattern).
• MCP: Model Context Protocol — framework for AI agents to connect to external services.
• Standardized Parts: ASDLC pattern for schema-enforced structure and validation.

Prerequisites

• None required. This command is optional and can be run at any time.
• MCP setup is optional — command will check MCP status but won't block if unavailable.
• Git repository — command works best in a Git repository but doesn't require it.
