Trait

Managed

Distributed as a standard file to every repository and overwritten on update. Change it at the source.

Architecture Documentation & Metadata

Code Map

A generated CODEMAP.md that says what each area of the repository is for and which local README to open next — a navigation guide, not a reference.

Architecture Environment & Tooling

Command Surface

An identical root Makefile in every repository, with the repository’s own components declared once in scripts/build/repository.mk.

Makefile 4

Convention Documentation & Metadata

Managed Standard Files

Standard files copied into every repository carry a DO NOT EDIT header; they are changed at their source, never in the repository that received them.

docs/pdlc/ holds the durable product context behind a repository — problems, constraints, tradeoffs, and decisions — and nothing short-lived.

Run-Parts Hook Directories

One small runner turns each lifecycle event into a directory of .sh hooks, run in lexical order and stopped by the first failure.
