Implementation: Framework Self-Enforcement

Summary

Added rules and instructions so the framework applies its own task-driven development principles to itself.

Changes Made

.rules.md

Replaced the template placeholder with concrete, enforceable rules:

  • Task-Driven Development: All changes must go through tasks (SPEC → phases → VERDICT), no direct file edits, no manual mkdir tasks/
  • VRAM-Aware Task Sizing: Check config.md VRAM limits before scoping tasks, verify fit within max peak context
  • Changelog: Append entry to CHANGELOG.md when a task reaches Resolution
  • Self-Improvement: One rule per observed failure mode with concrete example, consolidate monthly
  • Session Discipline: After writing SPEC.md, stop and wait for user approval before implementing

system-prompt.md

Added step 4: "Read ~/.automaton/.rules.md (global framework rules)" to the startup sequence.

Files Modified

  • .rules.md — converted from template to concrete rules (25 lines)
  • system-prompt.md — added global rules reading instruction
