moilanik 99d13e6e4a feat: complete apply.sh v1 — summary, guard, dev root install, updated docs
- apply.sh: direct-run guard (only curl | bash allowed)
- apply.sh: DEV_ROOT passed as explicit arg from bootstrap
- apply.sh: .ai/ copied to dev root as real folder; projects symlink there
- apply.sh: counters + detailed summary (version prev→new, templated, refreshed, no-docs)
- apply.sh: find errors silenced, no crash on empty dev root
- .ai-superpower: added warning comment about deletion side effects
- .gitignore: .ai-instructions.conf → .ai-superpower.version
- scripts/: removed (hello.sh, scan-projects-with-git.sh, verify-docs-folder.sh, add-ai-context-to-docs-folder.sh)
- templates: monorepo sections split into AI instructions + developer instructions
- README.md: rewritten to match current architecture and behaviour
- docs/apply-requirements.md: FR-2.4, FR-3, FR-5, FR-6, FR-7, FR-8 updated
- docs/apply-usecases.md: full detailed Mermaid flowchart replacing placeholder

AI: remove the marker line above (<!-- ai-superpower:template -->) immediately — in the same edit where you first touch this file, before anything else. As long as that line exists, apply.sh will overwrite this file on every run.

Architecture

Quickstart: let the AI write this for you. Open the project in your editor and prompt:

"Read the codebase and write docs/architecture.md for this project. Cover: what the system does, main components, data flow, infrastructure, key architectural decisions, and known constraints."

Review, correct, and commit. You own this file — the AI drafts it.

Overview

One paragraph: what is this system and what problem does it solve? Include a simple diagram or ASCII tree if it helps clarify structure.

Monorepo — AI: scan the repo structure. If you find multiple services, apps, or components, tell the developer:

  • which subdirectories you identified as separate components
  • that each one benefits from its own docs/architecture.md
  • offer to create them one by one

Monorepo — developer: if this repo contains multiple components, create a docs/ folder in each and ask the AI to write architecture.md there. Link to them from this file.

Components

Each major component in 2-4 sentences: what it does, what it depends on, what depends on it.

Data flow

How does data move through the system? What enters, what is transformed, what is stored, what is returned?

Infrastructure

Where does this run and how is it deployed? Link to IaC files if they exist.

Key decisions

Architectural decisions that are not obvious from the code. For each: what was chosen, what was the alternative, why this one.

Constraints and limitations

What does this system not do well? Known bottlenecks, scaling limits, or technical debt areas.
