# Phase 1: Phase Documentation System - Detailed Plan

**Objective**: Set up phase-based project management with synchronized documents

**Status**: Ready for Review  
**Date**: 2025-01-27

---

## Overview

Phase 1 establishes the phase documentation system that will track all project work in synchronized documents. Each phase will have four documents that stay in sync automatically via Cursor rules.

---

## Tasks Breakdown

### Task 1: Create Phase Documentation Templates

**Location**: `tendril/phases/phase-00-foundation/`

**Files to Create**:
1. **`blueprint.md`** - Complete phase specification template
2. **`tasks.md`** - Task tracking template (mirrors Gitea issues)
3. **`decisions.md`** - ADR (Architecture Decision Record) template
4. **`changelog.md`** - Change history template

**Templates Source**: `kb/_guides/PROJECT-SETUP-GUIDE/COMPLETE-SYSTEM-REPLICATION-GUIDE.md`

**Customizations Needed**:
- Replace `pairs/phases/` with `tendril/phases/`
- Replace "GitHub issues" with "Gitea issues" in tasks.md
- Update project name to "Tendril"
- Update repository URL to Gitea instance

---

### Task 2: Populate Phase 0 (Foundation) with Current Project State

**Location**: `tendril/phases/phase-00-foundation/`

**Data Sources**:
- `PROJECT_STATUS.md` - Current v0.1.0 status
- `README.md` - Project description and features
- `DEVELOPMENT.md` - Architecture and roadmap
- Phase 0 work just completed (Cursor rules, directory structure, Gitea docs)

**Phase 0 Content to Document**:

**Blueprint.md**:
- **Project**: Tendril
- **Phase**: Phase 0: Foundation & Cursor Rules Setup
- **Status**: ✅ Complete
- **Objectives**:
  - Establish Cursor rules system
  - Create directory structure
  - Set up agent guidelines
  - Create Gitea documentation
  - Organize phase updates documentation
- **Deliverables**:
  - `.cursorrules` file
  - `docs/AGENT-GUIDELINES.md`
  - `docs/GITEA/` documentation suite
  - `kb/_guides/PROJECT-SETUP-GUIDE/` organization
  - Complete directory structure
- **Timeline**: Completed 2025-01-27
- **Definition of Done**: All Phase 0 tasks completed and committed

**Tasks.md**:
- Mirror completed work from Phase 0
- Mark all Phase 0 tasks as complete
- Reference commit: `0a131a2`

**Decisions.md**:
- ADR-000: Use Gitea (self-hosted) instead of GitHub
- ADR-001: Use `tendril/phases/` directory structure
- ADR-002: Implement comprehensive Cursor rules system
- ADR-003: Create Gitea-specific documentation

**Changelog.md**:
- **2025-01-27**: Phase 0 completed - Established foundation
  - Created `.cursorrules` with comprehensive rules
  - Created directory structure (phases, KB, workflows, prompts)
  - Created `docs/AGENT-GUIDELINES.md`
  - Created Gitea documentation suite
  - Organized phase updates documentation
  - Committed all changes (commit `0a131a2`)

### Task 3: Create Phase 1 Blueprint for Next Development Cycle

**Location**: `tendril/phases/phase-01-testing-validation/` (or similar name)

**Phase 1 Content** (based on PROJECT_STATUS.md roadmap):

**Blueprint.md**:
- **Project**: Tendril
- **Phase**: Phase 1: Testing & Validation
- **Status**: ⏳ Planned
- **Objectives**:
  - Test with actual Gitea instances (various versions)
  - Test binary discovery on multiple systems
  - Test Docker mode on Linux, macOS, Windows
  - Test with self-hosted Gitea instances
  - Validate error messages are helpful
  - Performance testing with large repositories
- **Deliverables**:
  - Test results documentation
  - Platform compatibility matrix
  - Error message improvements
  - Performance benchmarks
- **Timeline**: TBD
- **Definition of Done**: All testing complete, results documented, issues resolved

**Tasks.md**:
- Create tasks from PROJECT_STATUS.md "What's Next" section
- Link to Gitea issues when created
- Organize by category (Testing, UX, Documentation, Release)

**Decisions.md**:
- Will be populated as decisions are made during Phase 1

**Changelog.md**:
- Will be populated as Phase 1 progresses

## Customizations for Tendril

### Directory Structure
- **Use**: `tendril/phases/` (not `pairs/phases/`)
- **Reason**: Matches project name and structure

### Platform References
- **Use**: "Gitea" (not "GitHub")
- **Tasks.md**: "mirrors Gitea issues" (not "GitHub issues")
- **Repository**: https://git.parkingmeter.info/Mycelium/tendril

### Project Context
- **Project Name**: Tendril
- **Current Version**: v0.1.0
- **Language**: Rust (WASM for Zed extension)
- **Platform**: Gitea (self-hosted)

---

## Synchronization Rules (Already in .cursorrules)

When `blueprint.md` is modified:
1. ✅ Update `changelog.md` with today's date and description
2. ✅ Sync `tasks.md` with blueprint deliverables
3. ✅ Review `decisions.md` for new ADRs needed
4. ✅ Verify consistency across all documents

---

## Files to Create

### Phase 0 (Foundation)
```
tendril/phases/phase-00-foundation/
├── blueprint.md      # Phase 0 specification
├── tasks.md          # Phase 0 tasks (all complete)
├── decisions.md       # Phase 0 ADRs
└── changelog.md      # Phase 0 change history
```

### Phase 1 (Testing & Validation)
```
tendril/phases/phase-01-testing-validation/
├── blueprint.md      # Phase 1 specification
├── tasks.md          # Phase 1 tasks (from PROJECT_STATUS.md)
├── decisions.md      # Phase 1 ADRs (empty initially)
└── changelog.md      # Phase 1 change history (empty initially)
```
