# 1. Fix cache files

# 2. Update .gitignore
echo "agents/__pycache__/" >> .gitignore
echo "agents/tests/__pycache__/" >> .gitignore
echo "**/__pycache__/" >> .gitignore
git add .gitignore
# 3. Verify .env status
git ls-files --cached | grep "\.env$" && git rm --cached .env || true
# 4. Stage new docs

git commit -m "docs: add comprehensive system and developer documentation
- Add ARCHITECTURE.md: System design and component relationships
- Add DEVELOPMENT.md: Developer setup and extension guide
- Add agents/README.md: Agent system reference and API docs
- Add PRE_COMMIT_AUDIT.md: Pre-commit checklist
- Update roadmap.md: Mark 5, 6, 9 completed, 8 in-progress"
# 7. Push
git push origin mainFor End Users (GitHub visitors):
- Start with
README.md→ quick overview - Read
QUICK_START.md→ setup steps - Check
ARCHITECTURE.md→ understand system - Refer to
roadmap.md→ project status
For Developers:
- Read
DEVELOPMENT.md→ dev setup & workflow - Reference
agents/README.md→ agent tasks & API - Check
ARCHITECTURE.md→ system design - Review code in
agents/app.py→ implementation details
For DevOps/Operators:
- Check
docker-compose.yml→ service config - Review resource limits in compose &
ARCHITECTURE.md - Use
startup.sh/cleanup.sh→ automation - Monitor
workspace/logs/delegation.log→ audit trail
Before finally committing, verify:
- Git cache cleaned:
git status | grep DWIM(should be empty or unrelated) - All tests passing:
pytest agents/tests/ -v(or in container) - No large unintended files:
git diff --cached --name-only | xargs ls -lh | grep -E "MB|GB" - Documentation readable: Open
.mdfiles in browser/editor - Commit message clear: Explains what and why
- Roadmap matches code: Items 5, 6, 9 completed; item 8 in-progress
- No secrets in commit: No API keys, tokens, passwords
After pushing to origin:
-
Create GitHub Release (optional, if tagging)
git tag v0.1.0-alpha git push origin v0.1.0-alpha
-
Open PR for review (if main is protected)
# Push to feature branch git push origin feature/initial-commit # Then open PR on GitHub
-
Monitor CI/CD (if configured)
- Check GitHub Actions status
- Review code quality comments
- Fix any linting issues
-
Update external references
- Add link to README in org docs
- Announce on team channels
- Tag relevant stakeholders for review
- Large commit: 634 files is normal for initial project setup with vendored dependencies
- Vendor code:
vendor/zeroclaw/is intentional (not a submodule)—allows offline use - Memory files:
workspace/memory/*.jsonare version-controlled for reproducibility - Tests: All included and can be run without containers (if Python installed)
- No CI/CD yet: GitHub Actions not configured; should be added later
All documentation is in place. Follow the Quick Start section above to fix and commit.
Estimated time: 5 minutes for fixes + commit
Good luck! 🎉
