Template Features

🤖 AI Agent Ready

Built-in support for multiple AI agents working concurrently on different features without conflicts. Includes role-specific prompts and rules of engagement.

📝 Markdown First

Everything important lives in Markdown files - easy to diff, parse, and index. Features are tracked as individual Markdown files that move through lifecycle folders.

⚡ Zero Dependencies

Pure bash scripts eliminate Node.js/npm dependencies. Fast execution, universal compatibility, and easy maintenance across all Unix-like systems.

🔄 Lifecycle Management

Clear state transitions: backlog → in-progress → review → done. Folder location is the source of truth, with automated validation and dependency checking.

🛡️ Multi-Agent Safety

Built-in concurrency controls with ownership locks, dependency validation, and collision prevention to ensure agents don't step on each other.

🔧 CI/CD Integration

Ready for continuous integration with validation rules, automated indexing, and GitHub Actions workflows. No build steps required.
