1
00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:04,434
MDAAI is a repository-based protocol for human-directed AI

2
00:00:04,434 --> 00:00:04,944
development.

3
00:00:05,164 --> 00:00:09,222
Ordinary files define what an agent may change, what work is current,

4
00:00:09,222 --> 00:00:11,251
and what evidence supports a result.

5
00:00:12,450 --> 00:00:16,183
The original template connects Project Elaboration to Work Orders and

6
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:16,930
their registry.

7
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:21,808
Corrective Work Orders explain errors. Architecture decisions explain

8
00:00:21,808 --> 00:00:24,137
choices. Checkpoints capture milestones.

9
00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:28,592
Its Work Order editing rules conflict; adopters must reconcile them.

10
00:00:29,783 --> 00:00:33,859
Two point zero keeps a root operating contract and five governance

11
00:00:33,859 --> 00:00:34,230
documents.

12
00:00:34,450 --> 00:00:38,583
Project Elaboration owns scope and sequence. TASKS dot JSON is the

13
00:00:38,583 --> 00:00:40,462
single owner of task state.

14
00:00:40,682 --> 00:00:43,581
An optional Claude file only points to the contract.

15
00:00:44,783 --> 00:00:49,005
Read the contract, assigned task, scope, and relevant rules.

16
00:00:49,225 --> 00:00:53,165
The task links to scope and evidence. Its owner updates the active

17
00:00:53,165 --> 00:00:55,135
row, not a second status list.

18
00:00:55,355 --> 00:00:57,975
Add a decision or durable record only when needed.

19
00:00:59,150 --> 00:01:03,703
For a status endpoint, confirm scope, change code and tests, then

20
00:01:03,703 --> 00:01:04,945
collect real results.

21
00:01:05,165 --> 00:01:08,992
Update the task with evidence and the next action. Complete it only

22
00:01:08,992 --> 00:01:10,268
when acceptance is supported.

23
00:01:10,488 --> 00:01:13,597
Preserve that terminal result; link later corrections.

24
00:01:14,783 --> 00:01:18,587
The practical change is less routine paperwork, not less

25
00:01:18,587 --> 00:01:19,010
accountability.

26
00:01:19,230 --> 00:01:24,319
Adopt project by project: reconcile old rules, start a fresh registry,

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,169
and preserve completed history.

28
00:01:26,389 --> 00:01:30,066
These instructions guide behavior. They do not automatically enforce

29
00:01:30,066 --> 00:01:30,474
it.
