Tasks​

E8:S01:T01 – Create generator framework​

Status: ✅ COMPLETE (v0.8.1.1+1)
Input: Framework patterns, generation requirements
Deliverable: Generator framework implementation
Dependencies: None
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Design generator framework architecture
  2. Implement core generator framework
  3. Create generator API and interfaces
  4. Document generator framework

Implementation:

  • Created BaseGenerator abstract base class with workflow orchestration
  • Created TemplateBasedGenerator for template-based generators
  • Created TemplateEngine with variable substitution, conditionals, and loops
  • Created GeneratorRegistry for generator discovery and management
  • Created design document: docs/architecture/standards-and-adrs/generator-framework-design.md
  • Created README with usage examples
  • Created example generator: simple_generator_example.py

Deliverables:

  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/base.py - BaseGenerator and TemplateBasedGenerator
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/registry.py - GeneratorRegistry
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/template_engine.py - TemplateEngine
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/__init__.py - Package exports
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/README.md - Framework documentation
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/examples/simple_generator_example.py - Example generator
  • ✅ docs/architecture/standards-and-adrs/generator-framework-design.md - Design document

E8:S01:T02 – Build template-based generators​

Status: ✅ COMPLETE (v0.8.1.2+1)
Input: Generator framework, templates
Deliverable: Template-based generator implementations
Dependencies: E8:S01:T01
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Identify common generation patterns
  2. Create template-based generators
  3. Build generator templates
  4. Document generator usage

Implementation:

  • Created WorkflowGenerator for generating workflow YAML files
  • Created KanbanTemplateGenerator for generating Epic, Story, and Task documents
  • Created templates: workflow-template.yaml, epic-template.md, story-template.md, task-template.md
  • Created documentation: README-template-generators.md with usage examples
  • Integrated generators into package exports

Deliverables:

  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/workflow_generator.py - WorkflowGenerator
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/kanban_template_generator.py - KanbanTemplateGenerator
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/templates/workflow-template.yaml - Workflow template
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/templates/epic-template.md - Epic template
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/templates/story-template.md - Story template
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/templates/task-template.md - Task template
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/README-template-generators.md - Documentation

E8:S01:T03 – Establish generator patterns​

Status: ✅ COMPLETE (v0.8.1.3+1)
Input: Generator implementations
Deliverable: Generator pattern documentation
Dependencies: E8:S01:T02
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Extract generator patterns
  2. Document pattern library
  3. Create pattern examples
  4. Publish pattern documentation

Implementation:

  • Extracted 7 pattern categories from existing generators
  • Documented patterns with code examples and use cases
  • Created pattern examples demonstrating each pattern
  • Integrated pattern library into framework documentation

Deliverables:

  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/PATTERNS.md - Comprehensive pattern library (7 categories, 20+ patterns)
  • ✅ packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/examples/pattern_examples.py - Pattern examples demonstrating each pattern
  • ✅ Updated packages/frameworks/tooling & automation/generators/README.md - Added pattern library reference
