# asdd-kit.yml - the map of an ASDD-with-Goose installation. # # Purpose: an agent (or a person) helping with setup or an adjustment should read THIS # and know the shape of the kit, instead of reading every file to work it out. It is a # map, not a rule book: AGENTS.md is the constitution, .asdd.yml is this deployment's # config, and this file says what exists, where it runs, and what must stay true. # # Keep it honest: cli/kit-check.py fails the build if the roles here drift from the # `models:` block, or if a recipe named here does not exist. kit_version: "0.1" # Read these first, in this order, before proposing anything. read_first: - AGENTS.md # the constitution: the rules every agent obeys. Not optional. - .asdd.yml # this deployment: roster, protected_paths, merge_posture, lanes - asdd-kit.yml # this file: the map # The agents. `model_key` is where this role's model NAME lives in .asdd.yml. roles: developer: does: "builds the change from the spec" recipe: recipes/developer.yaml model_key: models.developer runs_on: "your own Goose session (bring your own; spec-driven OP.1).
