# . (index) dir: . ## Project Map Protocol 1. Read this protocol and the root `.pi-map.index.md` first. 2. Use `index:` / `map:` references to open relevant directory indexes and maps. 3. Load indexes before rich maps during task-start navigation. 4. Read the local rich map and actual source before editing. 5. Treat non-empty `## dirty` sections in either artifact as stale. 6. If source and generated artifacts disagree, trust source. 7. If map and index disagree, trust neither blindly; verify from source and regenerate the pair. 8. After editing source, run `project_map_patch` for each changed file. 9. Before broad architectural claims or final handoff, run `project_map_validate` when freshness matters. Trust boundary: index routes, map orients, source decides. ## role Defines a living documentation methodology and project configuration for managing software requirements, specifications, and development discipline rules within a Docker-based coding agent platform. ## parent - ## children - changes index: changes/.pi-map.index.md map: changes/.pi-map.md - designs index: designs/.pi-map.index.md map: designs/.pi-map.md - docs index: docs/.pi-map.index.md map: docs/.pi-map.md - explorations index: explorations/.pi-map.index.md map: explorations/.pi-map.md - proposals index: proposals/.pi-map.index.md map: proposals/.pi-map.md - specs index: specs/.pi-map.index.md map: specs/.pi-map.md - tasks index: tasks/.pi-map.index.md map: tasks/.pi-map.md ## files - README.md - config.yaml ## links index: ./.pi-map.index.md map: ./.pi-map.md ## workflows - ## dirty -
