Created: 2025-11-19 Purpose: Authoritative reference for README standardization Next Step: Use this framework to systematically update all 42 READMEs
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:
- Project discovery (interactive interview)
- Submodule creation (automated git setup)
- Project planning (generates specifications)
- Structure optimization (production-ready layout)
- Quality assurance (verification checks)
What Gets Created
When you create a submodule, you automatically get:
✅ Git Repository:
- Initialized with
mainbranch - 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 guidePROJECT-PLAN.md- Implementation roadmapTASKLIST.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
-
Customize PROJECT-PLAN.md
- Add your specific project phases
- Define success criteria
- Outline resources needed
-
Add tasks to TASKLIST.md
- Break down work into manageable pieces
- Use checkbox format for tracking
-
Start development
- Push code to your repo
- Commit regularly
- Use checkpoint process for major milestones
-
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)
"Symlink verification failed: agents directory not accessible"
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:
- ✅ Directory Creation - Creates category/submodule dirs
- ✅ Symlink Setup - Creates .coditect and .claude symlinks
- ✅ Template Generation - Generates 4 template files
- ✅ Git Initialization - Initializes git repo with initial commit
- ✅ GitHub Repository - Creates repo via
ghCLI - ✅ Remote Configuration - Sets up origin remote and pushes
- ✅ Parent Registration - Registers submodule in .gitmodules
- ✅ 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
- 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:
- Script logs the error
- Continues with remaining submodules
- Provides summary report at end
- Failed submodules can be retried individually
Verification
After all updates:
- Check master repo submodule status
- Verify all submodule pointers updated
- Test framework access from sample submodule
- 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.
Symlink Status by Repository
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)
