A2UI Blueprint Maintenance Skill

This skill provides administrative recipes for merging feature specifications into Module Blueprints and archiving feature blueprints.

1. Lifecycle & Archiving Recipes

Recipe A: Merging & Archiving a Feature Blueprint (Promoting to Required)

When a feature specification in blueprints/features/<feature_name>.blueprint.md is ready to be merged into its target Module Blueprint(s):

  1. Merge Specification into Module Blueprint:
    • Open each target Module Blueprint listed under module_blueprints (e.g. blueprints/modules/a2ui_core.blueprint.md).
    • Integrate the feature's architectural rules, schemas, and behaviors into the module blueprint.
    • Do NOT add anything to an included_features list (module blueprints do not list included features).
  2. Archive the Feature Blueprint:
    • Move the feature blueprint file into blueprints/features/archived/: 
      git mv blueprints/features/<feature_name>.blueprint.md blueprints/features/archived/
    • Once in blueprints/features/archived/, the feature is permanently archived and its requirements are part of the module blueprint.
  3. Commit & Validate:
    • Run the blueprint validator: 
      python3 blueprints/validate_blueprints.py

Recipe B: Archiving Deprecated Optional Features

If an optional feature in blueprints/features/<feature_name>.blueprint.md is deprecated or abandoned without being merged:

  1. Move it to blueprints/features/archived/<feature_name>.blueprint.md.
  2. Run validation to ensure repository consistency: 
    python3 blueprints/validate_blueprints.py
