AI-Enabled Configuration Management Specification

Workflow

Producing an AI-enabled CM specification follows this sequence:

1. Scope the system -- Identify operational context, enterprise constraints, AI maturity level
2. Define the governance model -- Authority structure, RACI/RASIC, escalation paths
3. Specify functional requirements -- See functional-requirements.md
4. Define AI agent architecture -- See ai-agents.md
5. Map control surfaces and baselines -- See control-surfaces.md
6. Design drift detection framework -- See drift-detection.md
7. Establish metrics and health indicators -- See metrics.md
8. Compose the deliverable -- See deliverable-structure.md for required sections and format

Core Principles

Treat context as a controlled architectural variable, not an ambient condition.
