# Standards Sync Implementation - Complete

**Date:** 2025-12-19
**Status:** ✅ Fully implemented and tested

## 🎯 What Was Accomplished

### 1. Created Standards Directory Structure

```
standards/
├── README.md                   # Navigation guide (NEW)
├── adhd/                       # Synced from zsh-configuration ✅
│   ├── QUICK-START-TEMPLATE.md
│   ├── GETTING-STARTED-TEMPLATE.md
│   ├── TUTORIAL-TEMPLATE.md
│   └── REFCARD-TEMPLATE.md
├── code/                       # Synced from zsh-configuration ✅
│   ├── COMMIT-MESSAGES.md
│   ├── R-STYLE-GUIDE.md
│   └── ZSH-COMMANDS-HELP.md
├── project/                    # Synced from zsh-configuration ✅
│   └── PROJECT-STRUCTURE.md
├── workflow/                   # Synced from zsh-configuration ✅
│   └── (future workflow docs)
└── documentation/              # aiterm-specific (NEW) ✅
    ├── MKDOCS-GUIDE.md

# Test first
./scripts/sync-standards.sh --dry-run

# Run sync
./scripts/sync-standards.sh

# Commit
git add standards/
git commit -m "chore(standards): sync from zsh-configuration"
```

## 🔄 Sync Strategy: Copy + Sync Script (Hybrid)

### Chosen Approach

**Recommended from 5 options analyzed in STANDARDS-SYNC-PROPOSAL.md:**

✅ **For Committed Files:** Copy + Sync Script (Option 3)
- Works for external users (files in repo)
- No git complexity (no submodules)
- Clear version control
- Simple sync process

✅ **For DT Locally (Optional):** Symlinks (Option 2)
- Real-time sync during development
- Zero overhead
- Can run sync script before pushing

### Workflow

**When zsh-configuration standards update:**

```bash
# 1. Edit in zsh-configuration
cd ~/projects/dev-tools/zsh-configuration/standards
vim adhd/QUICK-START-TEMPLATE.md
git commit -m "docs(standards): update quick-start template"

# 2. Sync to aiterm
cd ~/projects/dev-tools/aiterm
./scripts/sync-standards.sh

# 3. Commit synced files
git add standards/
git commit -m "chore(standards): sync from zsh-configuration"
git push

# 4. External users get updates
git pull  # ✅ Updated standards
```

**Time:** ~1 minute per sync

## 🎓 aiterm-Specific Standards Highlights

### MkDocs Guide

**Key Features:**
- Navigation structure (max 3 levels)
- Admonitions (note, tip, warning, danger)
- Tabbed content (for code examples)
- Task lists with checkboxes
- Material theme features
- ADHD-friendly checklist

**Example Usage:**
```markdown
!!! tip
    Use `simple-api` template for your first server.

=== "Python"
    \`\`\`python
    code here
    \`\`\`

=== "Bash"
    \`\`\`bash
    commands here
    \`\`\`
```

### API Docs Guide

**Key Features:**
- Google-style docstrings (chosen format)
- Type hints everywhere
- Doctest examples (testable)
- CLI command documentation
- Integration with mkdocstrings

**Example:**
```python
def create_server(name: str, template: str = "api") -> bool:
    """Create a new MCP server.

    Args:
        name: Server name
        template: Template to use. Defaults to "api".

    Returns:
        True if successful

    Examples:
        >>> create_server("my-server")
        True
    """
```

### Interactive Tutorial Guide

**Key Features:**
- Step-by-step forms (progressive disclosure)
- Live code preview (instant feedback)
- File download (ZIP with all files)
- Template system (10+ templates planned)
- Libraries: JSZip, FileSaver, Prism

**Example Structure:**
```html
<!-- Step 1: Basic Info -->
<input type="text" id="server-name">

<!-- Step 2: Template -->
<div class="template-card" data-template="api">

<!-- Step 3: Preview -->
<pre><code id="preview"></code></pre>

<!-- Step 4: Download -->
<button id="download-btn">Download</button>
```
