# RSR Template AI Manifest (Read First)

This is the root AI manifest for the template repository.

## Template Status

This repository intentionally contains template placeholders before bootstrap.
Examples: `hyperpolymath`, `rattlescript`, `{{PROJECT_NAME}}`, `[YOUR-REPO-NAME]`.

Do not invent project-specific values unless the operator runs template
initialization (for example `just init`) or explicitly provides values.

## Authority Split

- Central protocol authority:
  `standards/session-management-standards/`
- Local integration authority (this repo):
  - `Justfile` session recipes
  - `session/dispatch.sh`
  - `session/custom-checks.k9`
  - `session/local-hooks.sh`
  - `coordination.k9`

## Canonical Session Commands

- `intake repo <path>`
- `checkpoint change <path>`
- `verify maintenance <path>`
- `verify substantial <path>`
- `verify release <path>`
- `close planned <path>`
- `close urgent <path>`
- `recover repo <path>`
- `handover full <path>`
- `handover split <path>`
- `handover model <path>`
- `handover human <path>`

## Core Invariants

1. Keep protocol text centralized; do not duplicate full protocol specs here.
2. Keep local policy and hook behavior local to this repo.
3. Write runtime session artifacts in working repos (typically `.session/`).
4. Keep README/AUDIT/manifest claims synchronized with actual files.
5. Mark stubs and placeholders explicitly.

## Key Local Files

- `AUDIT.adoc` (local audit gate summary)
- `README.adoc` (template orientation)
- `EXPLAINME.adoc` (claim-to-implementation map)
- `session/README.md` (session-binding usage)
- `.machine_readable/` (machine-readable repo policy/state files)

## Startup Checklist For Agents

1. Read `0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml`.
2. Read `AUDIT.adoc`.
3. Confirm whether placeholders have been initialized.
4. Use canonical session commands through `session/dispatch.sh` or Just aliases.
5. Avoid claiming files/paths exist unless verified in this repository.
