This framework ensures cohesive, accurate READMEs that properly explain each submodule's role in the CODITECT ecosystem.

Submodule Creation Quick Reference

TL;DR: The CODITECT submodule creation process is fully automated with 4 entry points.

Quick Start: Create Your First Submodule​

Option 1: Interactive Mode (Easiest for New Users)​

python3 submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/setup-new-submodule.py --interactive

You'll be prompted for:

  • Category (cloud/dev/gtm/labs/docs/ops/market/core)
  • Repository name (must start with coditect-{category}-)
  • Purpose (one sentence)
  • Visibility (public/private)

What it does automatically: ✅ Creates directory structure ✅ Sets up symlinks (.coditect, .claude) ✅ Generates 4 template files ✅ Initializes git repository ✅ Creates GitHub repository ✅ Pushes to remote ✅ Registers with parent ✅ Runs 23-point verification

Time: 2-3 minutes

Option 2: Command-Line Mode (For Scripting)​

python3 submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/setup-new-submodule.py \
  --category cloud \
  --name coditect-cloud-service \
  --purpose "API gateway service" \
  --visibility public

Option 3: Configuration File Mode (For Batch Operations)​

Create submodules.yml:

submodules:
  - category: cloud
    name: coditect-cloud-gateway
    purpose: API gateway for cloud services
    visibility: public
  - category: dev
    name: coditect-dev-logger
    purpose: Centralized logging utility
    visibility: private

Run batch setup:

python3 submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/batch-setup.py --config submodules.yml

Option 4: High-Level Workflow (Integrated Discovery + Creation)​

/new-project "Build an API for managing team projects"

This orchestrates:

  1. Project discovery (interactive interview)
  2. Submodule creation (automated git setup)
  3. Project planning (generates specifications)
  4. Structure optimization (production-ready layout)
  5. Quality assurance (verification checks)

What Gets Created​

When you create a submodule, you automatically get:

✅ Git Repository:

  • Initialized with main branch
  • Configured remote (origin → GitHub coditect-ai organization)
  • Initial commit pushed

✅ Symlink Chains:

  • .coditect → ../../../.coditect (points to master repo's framework)
  • .claude → .coditect (Claude Code compatibility)
  • Both verified functional (access to all agents, all skills, all commands)

✅ Template Files:

  • README.md - Getting started guide
  • project-plan.md - Implementation roadmap
  • tasklist.md - Checkbox-based task tracking
  • .gitignore - Standard exclusions

✅ GitHub Integration:

  • Public/private repository configured
  • Topics added (coditect + category)
  • Proper description and homepage

✅ Parent Integration:

  • Registered in .gitmodules
  • Submodule pointer added to master repo
  • Ready for collaborative development

Verify Your Submodule​

After creation, verify everything is correct:

# Option 1: Full verification with detailed checks
./submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/verify-submodules.sh \
  submodules/{category}/{repo-name}

# Option 2: Health check and scoring
python3 submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/submodule-health-check.py \
  --path submodules/{category}/{repo-name}

# Option 3: Quick spot checks
cd submodules/{category}/{repo-name}
ls -la .coditect/agents/ | head -5  # Should show all agents
ls project-plan.md tasklist.md README.md  # All should exist
git remote -v  # Should show GitHub remote
git log --oneline -1  # Should show initial commit

Next Steps After Creation​

  1. Customize project-plan.md

    • Add your specific project phases
    • Define success criteria
    • Outline resources needed

  2. Add tasks to tasklist.md

    • Break down work into manageable pieces
    • Use checkbox format for tracking

  3. Start development

    • Push code to your repo
    • Commit regularly
    • Use checkpoint process for major milestones

  4. Update parent repository

    • When submodule progresses, the master repo's submodule pointer updates
    • Use automated checkpoint process to sync: 
      python3 scripts/export-dedup.py --yes --auto-compact

Common Patterns​

Create a Cloud Service​

python3 submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/setup-new-submodule.py \
  --category cloud \
  --name coditect-cloud-myservice \
  --purpose "Service for managing X in the cloud" \
  --visibility public

Create a Private Development Tool​

python3 submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/setup-new-submodule.py \
  --category dev \
  --name coditect-dev-mytool \
  --purpose "Internal development tool for Y" \
  --visibility private

Create Multiple Submodules​

# Create config file
cat > my-services.yml << EOF
submodules:
  - category: cloud
    name: coditect-cloud-api
    purpose: REST API gateway
    visibility: public
  - category: cloud
    name: coditect-cloud-worker
    purpose: Background job processor
    visibility: public
  - category: dev
    name: coditect-dev-cli
    purpose: Command-line tools
    visibility: private
EOF

# Run batch setup
python3 submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/batch-setup.py --config my-services.yml

Dry-run to preview changes​

python3 submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/batch-setup.py \
  --config submodules.yml \
  --dry-run

Troubleshooting​

"Must run from coditect-rollout-master root directory"​

Make sure you're in the master repo:

cd /path/to/coditect-rollout-master
ls .coditect  # Should exist

"Git is not installed or not in PATH"​

Install Git:

# macOS
brew install git

# Linux (Ubuntu)
sudo apt-get install git

# Verify
git --version

"GitHub CLI is not installed"​

Install GitHub CLI:

# macOS
brew install gh

# Linux (Ubuntu)
sudo apt-get install gh

# Verify
gh --version

"GitHub CLI is not authenticated"​

Authenticate with GitHub:

gh auth login
# Follow the prompts to authenticate

"Repository name validation failed"​

Make sure your repo name follows the pattern:

coditect-{category}-{name}

Valid examples:
✅ coditect-cloud-gateway
✅ coditect-dev-logger
✅ coditect-ops-monitoring

Invalid examples:
❌ cloud-gateway (missing prefix)
❌ coditect_cloud_gateway (underscores instead of hyphens)
❌ Coditect-Cloud-Gateway (uppercase letters)

This usually means the parent repo's .coditect is not accessible. Verify:

cd /path/to/coditect-rollout-master
ls -la .coditect
ls -la .coditect/agents/ | wc -l  # Should show 50+

Automation Details​

The creation process is fully automated and runs 8 steps:

  1. ✅ Directory Creation - Creates category/submodule dirs
  2. ✅ Symlink Setup - Creates .coditect and .claude symlinks
  3. ✅ Template Generation - Generates 4 template files
  4. ✅ Git Initialization - Initializes git repo with initial commit
  5. ✅ GitHub Repository - Creates repo via gh CLI
  6. ✅ Remote Configuration - Sets up origin remote and pushes
  7. ✅ Parent Registration - Registers submodule in .gitmodules
  8. ✅ Verification - Runs 23-point validation suite

Total time: 2-3 minutes with zero manual git commands needed

Integration with Workflows​

Export-Dedup Workflow​

When you run the export-dedup process, Step 8 automatically commits and pushes all modified submodules:

# In Claude Code
/export

# In terminal
python3 submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/export-dedup.py --yes --auto-compact
# This runs 8 steps including Step 8: automatic multi-submodule checkpoint

Project Checkpoint​

Create a major checkpoint with one command:

python3 submodules/core/coditect-core/scripts/create-checkpoint.py \
  "Sprint description" \
  --auto-commit

CODITECT Submodule Update Process

Version: 1.0
Date: 2025-11-16
Status: Production Ready

Overview​

This document defines the standard process for updating all 19 submodules in the coditect-rollout-master repository in a consistent, dependency-aware order.

Update Order (Dependency-Based)​

Tier 0: Framework (Foundation)​

Must be updated first - All other projects depend on this

  1. coditect-project-dot-claude - Core CODITECT framework (master brain)

Tier 1: Core Infrastructure​

Update second - Foundation for platform services 2. coditect-framework - Framework implementation 3. coditect-infrastructure - Infrastructure as code 4. coditect-legal - Legal documents and compliance

Tier 2: Backend Services​

Update third - Data layer and APIs 5. coditect-cloud-backend - FastAPI backend services 6. coditect-analytics - ClickHouse analytics 7. coditect-automation - Autonomous orchestration

Tier 3: Frontend & CLI​

Update fourth - User-facing interfaces 8. coditect-cloud-frontend - React frontend 9. coditect-cli - Python CLI tools 10. coditect-docs - Docusaurus documentation site

Tier 4: Marketplace & Extensions​

Update fifth - Extended platform features 11. coditect-agent-marketplace - Next.js marketplace 12. coditect-activity-data-model-ui - Activity feed UI

Tier 5: Supporting Tools​

Update sixth - Development and workflow tools 13. az1.ai-coditect-ai-screenshot-automator - Screenshot automation 14. coditect-interactive-workflow-analyzer - Workflow analysis 15. Coditect-v5-multiple-LLM-IDE - Multi-LLM IDE

Tier 6: Strategic & Research​

Update seventh - Strategy and research projects 16. az1.ai-CODITECT.AI-GTM - Go-to-market strategy 17. az1.ai-coditect-agent-new-standard-development - Agent standards 18. NESTED-LEARNING-GOOGLE - Educational technology research 19. coditect-blog-application - Blog and content

Standard Update Workflow​

For each submodule (in order):

1. Navigate to submodule directory
2. Check git status
3. Stage changes (.coditect, .claude, and any other modifications)
4. Commit with standardized message
5. Push to remote
6. Navigate back to master
7. Update submodule pointer in master
8. Continue to next submodule

Commit Message Template​

Add distributed intelligence symlinks

- .coditect → ../../.coditect (access to master CODITECT brain)
- .claude → .coditect (Claude Code compatibility)

Enables:
✅ Access to all agents, 24 skills, all commands
✅ Distributed intelligence architecture
✅ Consistent development experience across all projects

Part of: CODITECT Distributed Intelligence Rollout
Tier: [0-6] - [Category]

Automation Script​

Use the provided script: scripts/update-all-submodules.sh

# Update all submodules with symlinks
./scripts/update-all-submodules.sh

# Update specific tier only
./scripts/update-all-submodules.sh --tier 2

# Dry run (show what would happen)
./scripts/update-all-submodules.sh --dry-run

Error Handling​

If a submodule update fails:

  1. Script logs the error
  2. Continues with remaining submodules
  3. Provides summary report at end
  4. Failed submodules can be retried individually

Verification​

After all updates:

  1. Check master repo submodule status
  2. Verify all submodule pointers updated
  3. Test framework access from sample submodule
  4. Create checkpoint documenting the update

Best Practices​

✅ Always run in order - Respects dependency hierarchy
✅ Review changes - Check git diff before committing
✅ Test after update - Verify framework access works
✅ Document updates - Create checkpoint after completion
✅ Communicate changes - Update team if breaking changes

Distributed Intelligence Symlinks Status

Date: 2025-11-16
Status: ✅ OPERATIONAL (Local Development)

Summary​

All 19 submodules have .coditect and .claude symlinks configured for distributed intelligence architecture. The symlinks work locally and provide full framework access.

Committed to Git (1)​

  • ✅ Coditect-v5-multiple-LLM-IDE - Symlinks committed and pushed

Local Only (18)​

The following submodules have symlinks created locally but not committed to their repositories (requires individual repo push access):

  • az1.ai-coditect-agent-new-standard-development
  • az1.ai-coditect-ai-screenshot-automator
  • az1.ai-CODITECT.AI-GTM
  • coditect-activity-data-model-ui
  • coditect-agent-marketplace
  • coditect-analytics
  • coditect-automation
  • coditect-blog-application
  • coditect-cli
  • coditect-cloud-backend
  • coditect-cloud-frontend
  • coditect-docs
  • coditect-framework
  • coditect-infrastructure
  • coditect-interactive-workflow-analyzer
  • coditect-legal
  • coditect-project-dot-claude
  • NESTED-LEARNING-GOOGLE

Impact​

✅ Local Development: All symlinks work perfectly for local development
✅ Framework Access: all agents, 24 skills, all commands accessible everywhere
✅ Claude Code: All submodules work with Claude Code via .claude symlink
⚠️ Team Sharing: Symlinks are local-only unless committed to individual repos

Next Steps (Optional)​

To commit symlinks to individual repositories:

cd submodules/[project-name]
git add .coditect .claude
git commit -m "Add distributed intelligence symlinks"
git push

Architecture Verification​

The distributed intelligence architecture is fully operational for local development. The symlink chain works correctly:

Master Repo: .coditect → submodules/coditect-project-dot-claude
Master Repo: .claude → .coditect

Each Submodule: .coditect → ../../.coditect (→ master brain)
Each Submodule: .claude → .coditect (→ compatibility)

Framework: CODITECT Distributed Intelligence
Status: Production Ready (Local Development)
