2. Anti-Patterns (Recurring Bad Practices)

2.1 Epic Mashup Anti-Pattern (CRITICAL)

Anti-Pattern: Copying ai-dev-kit's actual Kanban structure instead of using canonical templates
Frequency: 30% (3/10 projects: been-there, dev-toolkit, agentic-ide-rules)
Impact: CRITICAL - Confusion about canonical vs project-specific epics
Status: 🔴 CRITICAL ANTI-PATTERN

Description:

• Projects copy ai-dev-kit's actual Kanban structure (including project-specific epics)
• Results in inappropriate epics (e.g., "Book Related Work" in non-book projects)
• Confuses canonical epics with project-specific epics

Why It's an Anti-Pattern:

• ROOT CAUSE: Epic 9 mismatch in ai-dev-kit source (project-specific "Book Related Work" vs canonical "User Management and Authentication")
• Confuses canonical epics with project-specific epics
• Clutters Kanban boards with irrelevant epics
• Makes it unclear what actual project work is
• Undermines framework adoption quality

Root Cause:

• Epic 9 mismatch in ai-dev-kit source repository
• Unclear installation instructions
• Distinction between canonical templates and ai-dev-kit's actual Kanban not clear
• Manual copy too easy (just copy-paste)

Examples:

• been-there: Has Epic 9 "Book Related Work" (inappropriate for mobile app project)
• dev-toolkit: Has Epic 9 "Book Related Work" (inappropriate for dev tools project)
• agentic-ide-rules: Has Epic 9 "Book Related Work" (inappropriate for IDE rules project)

Prevention Strategy:

1. CRITICAL: Fix Epic 9 mismatch in ai-dev-kit source (rename to Epic 24+)
2. Make installer primary/only method for installing Kanban structure
3. Add installer validation to prevent Epic mashup
4. Clearly distinguish canonical templates from ai-dev-kit's actual Kanban
5. Improve installation instructions

Impact:

• 30% of projects affected
• Confusion about canonical vs project-specific epics
• Clutters Kanban boards
• Undermines framework adoption quality

Impact: CRITICAL - Root cause of Epic mashup issue
Status: 🔴 CRITICAL ANTI-PATTERN

Description:

• ai-dev-kit source uses Epic 9 for project-specific work ("Book Related Work")
• Canonical templates define Epic 9 as "User Management and Authentication"
• When projects copy ai-dev-kit's actual Kanban, they get wrong Epic 9

Why It's an Anti-Pattern:

• ROOT CAUSE of Epic mashup issue affecting 30% of client projects
• Creates internal inconsistency between ai-dev-kit's actual Kanban and canonical templates
• Propagates incorrect Epic 9 to client projects
• Undermines framework adoption quality

Root Cause:

• ai-dev-kit uses Epic 9 for its own project-specific work (book project)
• Canonical templates define Epic 9 as "User Management and Authentication"
• No clear separation between ai-dev-kit's actual Kanban and canonical templates

Examples:

• ai-dev-kit source: Epic 9 "Book Related Work" (project-specific epic for "Vibe Coding For Dummies" book)
• Canonical template: Epic 9 "User Management and Authentication" (canonical ancillary epic)

Prevention Strategy:

1. CRITICAL: Rename ai-dev-kit's Epic 9 "Book Related Work" to Epic 24+ (project-specific range)
2. OR: Clearly document that Epic 9 in ai-dev-kit is project-specific, not canonical
3. Update all Epic 9 references in ai-dev-kit source

4. Root Cause Analysis

4.1 Epic Mashup Root Cause

Primary Root Cause: Epic 9 mismatch in ai-dev-kit source repository

Why It Happened:

1. ai-dev-kit uses Epic 9 for project-specific work ("Book Related Work")
2. Canonical templates define Epic 9 as "User Management and Authentication"
3. No clear separation between ai-dev-kit's actual Kanban and canonical templates
4. Unclear installation instructions
5. Manual copy too easy (just copy-paste)

Impact:

• 30% of projects affected (been-there, dev-toolkit, agentic-ide-rules)
• Confusion about canonical vs project-specific epics
• Clutters Kanban boards with irrelevant epics

Prevention:

1. CRITICAL: Fix Epic 9 mismatch in ai-dev-kit source
2. Make installer primary/only method
3. Add installer validation
4. Clearly distinguish canonical templates from ai-dev-kit's actual Kanban

4.2 Low Adoption Root Causes

Primary Root Causes:

1. Lack of Source Dogfooding: ai-dev-kit itself not fully adopting its own frameworks
2. Insufficient Tooling/Automation: Manual installation processes
3. Inadequate Documentation/Guidance: Lack of clear instructions on best practices
4. Legacy Inertia: Existing project structures resisting adoption

Impact:

• Low adoption of config-driven approach (30%)
• Low adoption of comprehensive RW trigger (20%)
• Low adoption of document lifecycle management (30%)
• Low adoption of git restrictions (30%)

Prevention:

1. Source repository must use own frameworks
2. Improve tooling and automation
3. Provide better documentation and guidance
4. Support legacy patterns during migration
