Ongoing development — how we coordinate

Source of truth for in-flight product thinking on the way to the MVP: the LifeOps Personal Assistant (chat, onboarding, the current views, and centrally LifeOps — scheduling, calendar, coordination, reminders, goals, todos, tasks). It serves children, adults with ADHD/ADD/Asperger's/autism, neurotypical people, and elderly people alike — no therapy language, no special rails; scenarios and tests cover real life (brush your teeth twice a day, work out, get the report done on time, meet life goals, run a night-owl sleep rhythm). Guiding constraint: minimize new scope — fix, test, and verify what exists; prefer deleting over adding.

This folder is not published on the docs site — it is contributor-facing working material, deliberately omitted from docs.json. Start with mvp/MVP.md; it is the first doc a new contributor reads.

How work flows

The canonical board / claim / verify workflow is CONTRIBUTING.md (Issues = work cards, Projects = state, Discussions = coordination rooms, PRs = code + proof). This folder adds a design-doc layer on top of it: product and planning work is doc-driven, so the path from idea to landed change is one pipeline:

  1. Discussion — conversation starts in GitHub Discussions: one kickoff thread per workstream (General) plus the master coordination thread (#14407, Announcements). Discussions are for conversation, not storage — if something was decided, it belongs in a doc. (Live thread links: status/STATUS.md.)
  2. Design doc — decisions land here as a PR: a research/ doc for the initial audit + plan, a design/ doc for an accepted design being built. A stale design doc is a bug; the PR that diverges from it updates it.
  3. Issues on the board — each doc is broken into implementation-ready issues on the LifeOps Personal Assistant MVP board (project 15), the active kanban. Claim work by commenting on the issue and moving its card. Don't start unboarded MVP work — file the issue first.
  4. PR with inline evidence — every PR proves itself inline per AGENTS.md: a reviewer confirms it works without reading the code, from the artifacts attached to the PR.
  5. Doc updated on merge — if implementation diverged from the doc, the same PR updates the doc, and the workstream row in status/STATUS.md moves.

The three surfaces divide cleanly: board 15 = task state, Discussions = conversation, this folder = durable decisions.

Evidence mechanics

Evidence attaches directly to the GitHub issue/PR — drag-and-drop into the description or a comment — so proof sits next to the change it proves. It is not committed to the repo: the .github/issue-evidence/ directory is retired (it bloated every clone and detached proof from the conversation it belonged to). The full standard is AGENTS.md; the mechanics in one paragraph:

  • Video: MP4 only. GitHub renders MP4 inline in issues/PRs; .mov / .webm degrade to bare links. Convert with ffmpeg -i in.mov -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4; compress to fit the upload limit, and if a clip genuinely can't fit, host it, link it, and attach a representative JPG still inline so the proof survives link rot.
  • Screenshots: JPG over PNG — smaller and faster to review. PNG only where fine text or pixel-exact UI detail would be lost.
  • Logs: pasted inline, wrapped in a collapsible <details> block when long.
  • Bug reports must include a screenshot or recording of the wrong behavior — not a description of it.
  • Real-LLM trajectories (live model, not the deterministic proxy) are required whenever agent/action/provider/prompt/model behavior changes; capture, then read them by hand.

Index

Doc What it is
mvp/MVP.md The MVP definition — product scope, 7 personas, real-life scenario matrix, in/out scope, honest state-of-the-code assessment, the 9 workstreams, and the evidence-driven acceptance bar. Read this first.
status/STATUS.md Dated status snapshot: per-workstream phase, issue counts, next action. Human-written; updated as milestones warrant.
research/01-mvp-product-personas.md MVP definition + 7 personas + real-life scenario→feature→test matrix; the persona-corpus verification gap (134/212 verified, ADHD/shift packs lagging).
research/02-chat-widget-system.md In-chat widget registry, typed connector-agnostic interaction protocol, hosted-secret flow; six verification gaps (dead form link, missing date/time field, no live round-trip coverage).
research/03-launcher-widgets.md Launcher/home widget audit — keep the resting home sparse (time/weather + notifications + wallet); wallet respec; remove seven non-MVP widgets.
research/04-onboarding-tutorial-help.md Chat-first cloud-only onboarding, chat-native tutorial, help-as-knowledge; the live-verification lane is red 10+ days and no device lane covers the default cloud path.
research/05-chat-window-ux.md Chat scrolling / gestures / search / mic on the continuous overlay; gestures done, but no history pagination, a horizontal-scroll leak, search unreachable, mic doesn't pulse.
research/06-views-chat-integration.md View↔chat control: the gap list of view interactions lacking a semantic chat action; make every view a state renderer so voice-first works for free.
research/07-voice-pipeline.md Cloud (Railway Kokoro/Whisper) vs on-device STT/TTS per platform; cloud path is unbenchmarked, uncovered in CI, and pinned to an English-only tiny STT model.
research/08-device-testing-pipeline.md On-device Android+iOS fleet e2e: fix the stale-install bug, add a fleet devices:status build-stamp check, one triage bundle per run, one-command physical-iPhone lane.
research/09-doc-driven-development.md The doc-driven + inline-evidence process itself: board/discussions/docs flow, retire .github/issue-evidence/, align the existing PR-evidence gate. Defines this folder.
research/10-projects-apps-consolidation.md Consolidate "My Apps" into Projects: Project as the one durable object, "app = published project" (Cloud-gated publish, per-project publish page with URL/monetization/analytics), agent publish/manage verbs, phased plan.
