VERSION file at the repo rootx.y.zx.y.z; the service reads it (build-arg) — never hardcode the versionThe reference half of the Standards description: the enforceable rules, patterns, and the internal library catalog that agents consult while coding.
Read the Wiki for the philosophy and rationale; these pages are the reference that mirrors the standards MCP bundle.
The ordered, deterministic checklist for generating a new application of the standard shape. Every step is fixed; only the resource model (step 2), the codegen pass (step 3), and the pipeline family (step 8) need app-specific work.

Execute every step in order. Only steps 2\u20134 use the\napp-specific details provided by the user; everything else is deterministic.\n\n## Before writing any code\n\nConnect to the `standards` MCP server and read:\n- `docs://nav` (the module list)\n- `docs://modules/genericity_matrix` (Tier A library / Tier B template / Tier C authored)\n- `docs://modules/layering_rules` (the dependency rules)\n\nThen:\n- call `find_library` with `db`, `di`, `routing`, `ingestion`, `pipeline`, `docs`\n and note the Tier A libraries that already exist \u2014 never reimplement one;\n- call `list_app_components()` and pull each file you need with\n `get_app_component(kind, resource=..., family=...)` instead of writing it from\n scratch.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. **Scaffold** \u2014 copy `standards/src/templates/app/` into `apps/<your-app>/`\n (or pull the same tree via `get_app_template`). Keep the tree: `domain/`,\n `infra/`, `interfaces/`, `pipelines/`, `tests/`, `scripts/`, plus\n `pyproject.toml`, `openapi.yaml`, `config.py`, `init.py`, `main.py`,\n `worker.py`, `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yaml`, `.env.example`.\n\n2. **Author the spec (app-specific)** \u2014 write `openapi.yaml`: resources,\n schemas, `operationId`s, security, and extension metadata. This is the\n contract and drives all routing. Every operation MUST have an `operationId`.\n\n3. **Generate the scaffold (codegen)** \u2014 from the spec, generate the wire\n models and the exact handler signatures:\n ```bash\n openapi-first models openapi.yaml -o _gen/models.py\n openapi-first routes openapi.yaml -o _gen/routes \\\n --use-models --models-module _gen.models --inject-request --package --template-style\n ```\n `_gen/models.py` is the **wire contract** (Pydantic, one class per\n `components.schemas` entry). `_gen/routes/<resource>/routes.py` lists every\n `operationId` with its exact parameter signature. `--template-style` makes\n those stubs `async def` with a `body` parameter, matching the handlers you\n keep in `interfaces/` (without it they are sync `def` stubs taking\n `payload`; both bind the same way). Treat `_gen/` as generated\n (never hand-edit it) \u2014 the canonical handlers live in `interfaces/`.\n\n4. **Write each CRUD slice (app-specific)** \u2014 per resource create the four-file\n slice: `models.py` (domain model, **no `id`**), `ports/db.py`\n (`class XDocument(BaseDocument, X)` \u2014 id comes from `BaseDocument`),\n `ports/service.py`, and optional `converters.py`. Follow the CRUD template.\n\n5. **Wire the composition root** \u2014 in `init.py`, build leaf repositories, then\n dependent repositories, then services; add infra adapters (db, cache, stores,\n progress bus, fetchers). Expose `get_svc` overloads.\n\n6. **Add routes** \u2014 create `interfaces/<resource>/routes.py` thin handlers whose\n names match the `operationId`s (use the signatures from step 3 as your\n checklist) and re-export them in `interfaces/openapi.py`. Add the cache\n decorator to read endpoints.\n\n7. **Bootstrap app and worker** \u2014 confirm `main.py` runs the OpenAPI-first app\n with its lifespan. If the app has long-running jobs, adapt `worker.py` to poll\n the job collection, run the pipeline, and publish progress.\n\n8. **Add pipeline families (only if data-driven)** \u2014 copy `pipelines/example/`\n to `pipelines/<family>/` with `abc.py`, `impl.py`, `pipeline.yaml`,\n `resources/`, and reuse `pipelines/shared/` (loader + registry). Register the\n root. Add fixtures and a parity test.\n\n9. **Add infrastructure only where needed** \u2014 Tier A capability: use the\n library. Tier B capability: copy the template. Never hand-write a Tier A\n library.\n\n10. **Tests** \u2014 integration tests with fakes at the HTTP edge; unit tests for\n domain and pipeline logic; a config-consistency test for rule-driven\n pipelines. Include `tests/integration/test_openapi_app_builds.py` (imports\n the app, asserts `import main` binds every operation).\n\n11. **Scripts and seeds** \u2014 operator scripts under `scripts/` using\n `init()` / `get_svc()` / `shutdown()`; run as `python -m scripts.<name>`.\n\n12. **Docs** \u2014 author GSDFC docstrings, generate `.pyi` stubs, mark the package\n `py.typed`, and build the docs.\n\n**Definition of done:**\n- `python -c \"import main\"` succeeds.\n- `pytest` passes.\n- The app serves every operation in the spec; the worker drains its queue.\n- No domain module imports a web framework.\n- No Tier A library was reimplemented.\n"},{"location":"01_build_recipe/#where-the-steps-land","title":"\ud83e\udded Where the steps land","text":"The steps map onto the layers as follows:

operationId naming: list_<resource>, create_<resource>, get_<resource>, update_<resource>, delete_<resource>.400; not found -> 404; delete -> 204.Auth is deferred in the standard: the same spec-first app runs with or without it, because security lives entirely in the spec, never in handlers. For an app that needs no auth yet, do not invent per-handler auth checks \u2014 just omit the security keys:
security: block.components.securitySchemes.security: [] to operations. An explicit empty array is a per-operation override that means \"public\", and it only matters when a global security block exists. Leaving every operation without a security key is the cleanest authless spec.Profile endpoints (/users/me) and profile headers (x-profile) still exist in an authless app. Define a stand-in identity in the composition root \u2014 for example get_current_user returns or lazily creates a fixed \"Demo User\" \u2014 so handlers stay auth-agnostic and only the wiring changes when real auth arrives.
The handlers, services, and composition root are unchanged. When auth is needed later, add the global security block and an introspecting dependency; only handlers that must opt out get security: [].
openapi_first scaffolds models and route stubs from the spec (see the Build Recipe, step 3):
openapi-first models openapi.yaml -o _gen/models.py\nopenapi-first routes openapi.yaml -o _gen/routes \\\n --use-models --models-module _gen.models --inject-request --package --template-style\n Prefer codegen over hand-writing boilerplate. The result is the wire contract and a set of operationId-named signatures \u2014 not the canonical handlers.
Every resource follows the same four-file slice. Repetition is intentional: it makes the codebase predictable and generatable.

[Unreleased] heading is never renamed; copy its content into the new version heading and clear it.The release version is known while the change is still a merge request, so the bump travels with the change and only the tag is added afterwards:
version in pyproject.toml (or the VERSION file) to x.y.z, and promote the changelog (below). Changelog entries and link references name the version/tag, never a commit id.main.x.y.z on the resulting commit (the merge/squash commit).git push origin x.y.z) \u2014 Drone builds the release.Because the version bump is inside the tagged commit, the guard's tag == version check can only fail if the wrong commit was tagged.
The agent neither authors nor merges the MR, and never tags before the merge. After the user confirms the MR is merged/squashed and says to proceed:
git log -S 'version = \"x.y.z\"' -n 1 --format='%H %s' -- pyproject.tomlgit log -S 'x.y.z' -n 1 --format='%H %s' -- VERSIONx.y.z, then tag only that commit, lightweight and bare: git tag x.y.z <sha>.git push origin x.y.z.main is up to date.[Unreleased] entry under the new version heading with the target date (## [x.y.z] - YYYY-MM-DD); restore an empty [Unreleased] on top.pyproject.toml (version = \"x.y.z\") or VERSION \u2014 to the intended release version.main.git tag x.y.z.git push origin x.y.z). Watch Drone: Type A publishes the wheel/sdist, Type B builds and deploys the image; both first assert tag == version.x.y.(z+1).The version file and the tag are two facts that must agree; nothing in git enforces that by itself. A mismatch is not a theoretical risk \u2014 a package can be tagged 0.0.2 while its pyproject.toml still says 0.0.1, and the publish step (which compares the file against the index) then skips the build entirely, so 0.0.2 never reaches the index while looking like a release. The Drone guard turns that silent no-op into a hard failure.

Every Aetos application shares a single identity service \u2014 the auth-server \u2014 and consumes it through its HTTP contract. An app never implements registration, login, password hashing, or token issuance itself.
The agent does not need an MCP bundle for the auth-server. It reads the pinned OpenAPI contract (below) and declares a bearer security scheme in its own spec; openapi_first then generates the verifying dependency. No auth code is written.
The auth-server OpenAPI document is pinned in the standards bundle and served as an MCP resource:
docs://spec\n It is the authoritative client contract (OpenAPI 3.1). Read it to learn the endpoints and the request/response schemas:
Endpoint PurposePOST /register Create a user (201, returns PublicUser) POST /login Authenticate and issue a JWT (LoginResponse) GET /me Current user's PublicUser (bearer required) POST /logout Stateless logout (LogoutResponse) POST /introspect Internal token introspection (active, user) The pinned snapshot is versioned (currently 0.0.5). If the caller has a live auth-server and needs the current contract, they can pass the full endpoint ({AUTH_SERVER}/openapi.json) and read it directly instead of the pin.
Authentication is added by editing the app's own openapi.yaml \u2014 nothing else. Declare a global bearer requirement and point the scheme at the auth server (values come from the environment):
security:\n - bearerAuth: []\npaths:\n # ...\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n bearerAuth:\n type: http\n scheme: bearer\n bearerFormat: JWT\n x-server-url: \"{AUTH_SERVER}\"\n x-introspect-path: \"/introspect\"\n x-login-path: \"/login\"\n x-register-path: \"/register\"\n x-logout-path: \"/logout\"\n x-me-path: \"/me\"\n openapi_first reads securitySchemes + security and generates a FastAPI dependency that extracts the bearer token, POSTs {\"token\": <jwt>} to {AUTH_SERVER}/introspect, and returns the user when active == true. It raises 401 on an invalid or inactive token and 503 when the auth server is unreachable. The generated handlers receive the authenticated user \u2014 you author no authentication code.

Execute every step in order. Only steps 2\u20134 use the\napp-specific details provided by the user; everything else is deterministic.\n\n## Before writing any code\n\nConnect to the `standards` MCP server and read:\n- `docs://nav` (the module list)\n- `docs://modules/genericity_matrix` (Tier A library / Tier B template / Tier C authored)\n- `docs://modules/layering_rules` (the dependency rules)\n\nThen:\n- call `find_library` with `db`, `di`, `routing`, `ingestion`, `pipeline`, `docs`\n and note the Tier A libraries that already exist \u2014 never reimplement one;\n- call `list_app_components()` and pull each file you need with\n `get_app_component(kind, resource=..., family=...)` instead of writing it from\n scratch.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. **Scaffold** \u2014 copy `standards/src/templates/app/` into `apps/<your-app>/`\n (or pull the same tree via `get_app_template`). Keep the tree: `domain/`,\n `infra/`, `interfaces/`, `pipelines/`, `tests/`, `scripts/`, plus\n `pyproject.toml`, `openapi.yaml`, `config.py`, `init.py`, `main.py`,\n `worker.py`, `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yaml`, `.env.example`.\n\n2. **Author the spec (app-specific)** \u2014 write `openapi.yaml`: resources,\n schemas, `operationId`s, security, and extension metadata. This is the\n contract and drives all routing. Every operation MUST have an `operationId`.\n\n3. **Generate the scaffold (codegen)** \u2014 from the spec, generate the wire\n models and the exact handler signatures:\n ```bash\n openapi-first models openapi.yaml -o _gen/models.py\n openapi-first routes openapi.yaml -o _gen/routes \\\n --use-models --models-module _gen.models --inject-request --package --template-style\n ```\n `_gen/models.py` is the **wire contract** (Pydantic, one class per\n `components.schemas` entry). `_gen/routes/<resource>/routes.py` lists every\n `operationId` with its exact parameter signature. `--template-style` makes\n those stubs `async def` with a `body` parameter, matching the handlers you\n keep in `interfaces/` (without it they are sync `def` stubs taking\n `payload`; both bind the same way). Treat `_gen/` as generated\n (never hand-edit it) \u2014 the canonical handlers live in `interfaces/`.\n\n4. **Write each CRUD slice (app-specific)** \u2014 per resource create the four-file\n slice: `models.py` (domain model, **no `id`**), `ports/db.py`\n (`class XDocument(BaseDocument, X)` \u2014 id comes from `BaseDocument`),\n `ports/service.py`, and optional `converters.py`. Follow the CRUD template.\n\n5. **Wire the composition root** \u2014 in `init.py`, build leaf repositories, then\n dependent repositories, then services; add infra adapters (db, cache, stores,\n progress bus, fetchers). Expose `get_svc` overloads.\n\n6. **Add routes** \u2014 create `interfaces/<resource>/routes.py` thin handlers whose\n names match the `operationId`s (use the signatures from step 3 as your\n checklist) and re-export them in `interfaces/openapi.py`. Add the cache\n decorator to read endpoints.\n\n7. **Bootstrap app and worker** \u2014 confirm `main.py` runs the OpenAPI-first app\n with its lifespan. If the app has long-running jobs, adapt `worker.py` to poll\n the job collection, run the pipeline, and publish progress.\n\n8. **Add pipeline families (only if data-driven)** \u2014 copy `pipelines/example/`\n to `pipelines/<family>/` with `abc.py`, `impl.py`, `pipeline.yaml`,\n `resources/`, and reuse `pipelines/shared/` (loader + registry). Register the\n root. Add fixtures and a parity test.\n\n9. **Add infrastructure only where needed** \u2014 Tier A capability: use the\n library. Tier B capability: copy the template. Never hand-write a Tier A\n library.\n\n10. **Tests** \u2014 integration tests with fakes at the HTTP edge; unit tests for\n domain and pipeline logic; a config-consistency test for rule-driven\n pipelines. Include `tests/integration/test_openapi_app_builds.py` (imports\n the app, asserts `import main` binds every operation).\n\n11. **Scripts and seeds** \u2014 operator scripts under `scripts/` using\n `init()` / `get_svc()` / `shutdown()`; run as `python -m scripts.<name>`.\n\n12. **Docs** \u2014 author GSDFC docstrings, generate `.pyi` stubs, mark the package\n `py.typed`, and build the docs.\n\n**Definition of done:**\n- `python -c \"import main\"` succeeds.\n- `pytest` passes.\n- The app serves every operation in the spec; the worker drains its queue.\n- No domain module imports a web framework.\n- No Tier A library was reimplemented.\n"},{"location":"01_build_recipe/#where-the-steps-land","title":"\ud83e\udded Where the steps land","text":"The steps map onto the layers as follows:

operationId naming: list_<resource>, create_<resource>, get_<resource>, update_<resource>, delete_<resource>.400; not found -> 404; delete -> 204.Auth is deferred in the standard: the same spec-first app runs with or without it, because security lives entirely in the spec, never in handlers. For an app that needs no auth yet, do not invent per-handler auth checks \u2014 just omit the security keys:
security: block.components.securitySchemes.security: [] to operations. An explicit empty array is a per-operation override that means \"public\", and it only matters when a global security block exists. Leaving every operation without a security key is the cleanest authless spec.Profile endpoints (/users/me) and profile headers (x-profile) still exist in an authless app. Define a stand-in identity in the composition root \u2014 for example get_current_user returns or lazily creates a fixed \"Demo User\" \u2014 so handlers stay auth-agnostic and only the wiring changes when real auth arrives.
The handlers, services, and composition root are unchanged. When auth is needed later, add the global security block and an introspecting dependency; only handlers that must opt out get security: [].
openapi_first scaffolds models and route stubs from the spec (see the Build Recipe, step 3):

version in pyproject.toml (or the VERSION file) to x.y.z, and promote the changelog (below).

git log -S 'version = \"x.y.z\"' -n 1 --format='%H %s' -- pyproject.tomlgit log -S 'x.y.z' -n 1 --format='%H %s' -- VERSIONx.y.z, then tag only that commit, lightweight and bare: git tag x.y.z <sha>.git push origin x.y.z.main is up to date.[Unreleased] entry under the new version heading with the target date (## [x.y.z] - YYYY-MM-DD); restore an empty [Unreleased] on top.pyproject.toml (version = \"x.y.z\") or VERSION \u2014 to the intended release version.main.git tag x.y.z.git push origin x.y.z). Watch Drone: Type A publishes the wheel/sdist, Type B builds and deploys the image; both first assert tag == version.x.y.(z+1).The version file and the tag are two facts that must agree; nothing in git enforces that by itself. A mismatch is not a theoretical risk \u2014 a package can be tagged 0.0.2 while its pyproject.toml still says 0.0.1, and the publish step (which compares the file against the index) then skips the build entirely, so 0.0.2 never reaches the index while looking like a release.

It also serves the pinned auth-server OpenAPI contract at docs://spec. Query it before writing any infrastructure.

Every Aetos application shares a single identity service \u2014 the auth-server \u2014 and consumes it through its HTTP contract. An app never implements registration, login, password hashing, or token issuance itself.
The agent does not need an MCP bundle for the auth-server. It reads the pinned OpenAPI contract (below) and declares a bearer security scheme in its own spec; openapi_first then generates the verifying dependency. No auth code is written.
The auth-server OpenAPI document is pinned in the standards bundle and served as an MCP resource:
docs://spec\n It is the authoritative client contract (OpenAPI 3.1). Read it to learn the endpoints and the request/response schemas:
Endpoint PurposePOST /register Create a user (201, returns PublicUser) POST /login Authenticate and issue a JWT (LoginResponse) GET /me Current user's PublicUser (bearer required) POST /logout Stateless logout (LogoutResponse) POST /introspect Internal token introspection (active, user) The pinned snapshot is versioned (currently 0.0.5). If the caller has a live auth-server and needs the current contract, they can pass the full endpoint ({AUTH_SERVER}/openapi.json) and read it directly instead of the pin.
Authentication is added by editing the app's own openapi.yaml \u2014 nothing else. Declare a global bearer requirement and point the scheme at the auth server (values come from the environment):
security:\n - bearerAuth: []\npaths:\n # ...\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n bearerAuth:\n type: http\n scheme: bearer\n bearerFormat: JWT\n x-server-url: \"{AUTH_SERVER}\"\n x-introspect-path: \"/introspect\"\n x-login-path: \"/login\"\n x-register-path: \"/register\"\n x-logout-path: \"/logout\"\n x-me-path: \"/me\"\n openapi_first reads securitySchemes + security and generates a FastAPI dependency that extracts the bearer token, POSTs {\"token\": <jwt>} to {AUTH_SERVER}/introspect, and returns the user when active == true. It raises 401 on an invalid or inactive token and 503 when the auth server is unreachable. The generated handlers receive the authenticated user \u2014 you author no authentication code.
