# Changelog: Requirements Persistence Feature
## Summary
Enhanced the accumulative autonomous mode (`--auto` / default mode) to automatically persist requirements to a local `.g3/requirements.md` file.
## Changes Made
### 1. Core Implementation (`crates/g3-cli/src/lib.rs`)
#### New Functions Added:
- **`ensure_g3_dir(workspace_dir: &Path) -> Result<PathBuf>`**
- Creates `.g3` directory in the workspace if it doesn't exist
- Returns the path to the `.g3` directory
- **`load_existing_requirements(workspace_dir: &Path) -> Result<Vec<String>>`**
- Loads requirements from `.g3/requirements.md` if the file exists
- Parses numbered requirements (format: `1. requirement text`)
- Returns empty vector if file doesn't exist
- **`save_requirements(workspace_dir: &Path, requirements: &[String]) -> Result<()>`**
- Saves accumulated requirements to `.g3/requirements.md`
- Creates `.g3` directory if needed
- Formats as markdown with numbered list
#### Modified Functions:
- **`run_accumulative_mode()`**
- Now loads existing requirements on startup
- Displays loaded requirements to user
- Initializes turn number based on existing requirements count
- Saves requirements after each new requirement is added
- Shows save confirmation message
- Updated `/requirements` command to show file location
### 2. Version Control (`.gitignore`)
- Added `.g3/` directory to `.gitignore`
- Prevents accidental commit of local requirements
- Users can opt-in to version control if desired
### 3. Documentation
#### New Documentation:
- **`docs/REQUIREMENTS_PERSISTENCE.md`**
- Comprehensive guide to the requirements persistence feature
- Usage examples and commands
- File format specification
- Use cases and best practices
- Comparison with traditional autonomous mode
#### Updated Documentation:
- **`README.md`**
- Added requirements persistence section to "Getting Started"
- Highlighted key benefits (resume, review, share)
- Added example showing `.g3/requirements.md` usage
### 4. Testing
- **`test_requirements.sh`**
- Simple test script for manual verification
- Creates test directory and provides instructions
## User-Facing Changes
### New Behavior
1. **Automatic Saving**
- Every requirement entered is immediately saved to `.g3/requirements.md`
- User sees confirmation: `💾 Saved to .g3/requirements.md`
2. **Automatic Loading**
- On startup, G3 checks for existing `.g3/requirements.md`
- If found, loads and displays requirements
- Shows: `📂 Loaded N existing requirement(s) from .g3/requirements.md`
3. **Enhanced `/requirements` Command**
- Now shows file location in output
- Format: `📋 Accumulated Requirements (saved to .g3/requirements.md):`
4. **Session Resumability**
- Users can exit and resume work later
- Requirements persist across sessions
- Turn numbering continues from previous session
### File Structure
```
my-project/
├── .g3/
│ └── requirements.md # NEW: Accumulated requirements
├── logs/ # Existing: Session logs
└── ... (project files)
```
### Requirements File Format
```markdown
# Project Requirements
1. First requirement
2. Second requirement
3. Third requirement
```
## Benefits
1. **Persistence**: No data loss if G3 crashes or is interrupted
2. **Transparency**: Always know what G3 is working on
3. **Resumability**: Pick up where you left off
4. **Documentation**: Requirements serve as project documentation
5. **Collaboration**: Share requirements with team members
6. **Auditability**: Track what was requested and when
## Backward Compatibility
- ✅ Fully backward compatible
- ✅ No breaking changes to existing functionality
- ✅ Works seamlessly with existing projects
- ✅ Graceful handling of missing `.g3` directory
- ✅ Error handling for file I/O issues
## Error Handling
- If `.g3/requirements.md` cannot be read: Shows warning, continues with empty requirements
- If `.g3/requirements.md` cannot be written: Shows warning, continues with in-memory requirements
- Non-blocking errors don't interrupt workflow
## Testing Checklist
- [x] Build succeeds without errors
- [ ] Manual test: Create new requirements in fresh directory
- [ ] Manual test: Resume session with existing requirements
- [ ] Manual test: `/requirements` command shows file location
- [ ] Manual test: Requirements file format is correct
- [ ] Manual test: Error handling for permission issues
- [ ] Manual test: `.g3` directory is created automatically
- [ ] Manual test: `.g3` directory is ignored by git
## Future Enhancements
Potential improvements for future versions:
1. Requirement status tracking (pending, in-progress, completed)
2. Requirement dependencies and ordering
3. Requirement templates and snippets
4. Integration with issue trackers
5. Requirement validation and linting
6. Export to other formats (JSON, YAML, etc.)
7. Requirement search and filtering
8. Requirement history and versioning
## Migration Guide
No migration needed! The feature works automatically:
1. Update to the new version
2. Run `g3` in any directory
3. Enter requirements as usual
4. Requirements are automatically saved to `.g3/requirements.md`

# Requirements Persistence in Accumulative Mode
## Overview
In accumulative autonomous mode (`--auto` or default mode), G3 now automatically persists your requirements to a local `.g3/requirements.md` file. This provides several benefits:
1. **Persistence across sessions**: Your requirements are saved and can be resumed later
2. **Version control friendly**: Requirements are stored in a readable markdown format
3. **Easy review**: You can view and edit requirements directly in the file
4. **Transparency**: Always know what G3 is working on
## How It Works
### Automatic Saving
When you run G3 in accumulative mode:
```bash
g3
```
Each requirement you enter is automatically:
1. Added to the accumulated requirements list
2. Saved to `.g3/requirements.md` in your workspace
3. Used for the autonomous implementation run
### File Format
The `.g3/requirements.md` file uses a simple numbered list format:
```markdown
# Project Requirements
1. Create a simple web server in Python with Flask
2. Add a /health endpoint that returns JSON
3. Add logging for all requests
```
### Loading Existing Requirements
When you start G3 in a directory that already has a `.g3/requirements.md` file, it will:
1. Automatically load the existing requirements
2. Display them on startup
3. Continue numbering from where you left off
Example output:
```
📂 Loaded 3 existing requirement(s) from .g3/requirements.md
1. Create a simple web server in Python with Flask
2. Add a /health endpoint that returns JSON
3. Add logging for all requests
============================================================
📝 Turn 4 - What's next? (add more requirements or refinements)
============================================================
requirement>
```
## Commands
### View Requirements
Use the `/requirements` command to view all accumulated requirements:
```
requirement> /requirements
📋 Accumulated Requirements (saved to .g3/requirements.md):
1. Create a simple web server in Python with Flask
2. Add a /health endpoint that returns JSON
3. Add logging for all requests
```
### Other Commands
- `/help` - Show all available commands
- `/chat` - Switch to interactive chat mode (preserves requirements context)
- `exit` or `quit` - Exit the session
## File Location
The requirements file is stored at:
```
<workspace>/.g3/requirements.md
```
Where `<workspace>` is your current working directory.
## Version Control
The `.g3/` directory is automatically added to `.gitignore`, so your requirements won't be committed to version control by default. If you want to track requirements in git, you can:
1. Remove `.g3/` from `.gitignore`
2. Commit the `.g3/requirements.md` file
This can be useful for:
- Sharing requirements with team members
- Tracking requirement evolution over time
- Documenting project goals
## Manual Editing
You can manually edit `.g3/requirements.md` if needed. G3 will parse the file and load any numbered requirements (format: `1. requirement text`).
**Note**: Make sure to maintain the numbered list format for proper parsing.
## Error Handling
If G3 cannot save or load requirements, it will:
1. Display a warning message
2. Continue operating with in-memory requirements
3. Not interrupt your workflow
Example:
```
⚠️ Warning: Could not save requirements to .g3/requirements.md: Permission denied
```
## Use Cases
### Resuming Work
```bash
# Day 1: Start a project
cd my-project
g3
requirement> Create a REST API with user authentication
# ... work happens ...
exit
# Day 2: Resume work
cd my-project
g3
# G3 automatically loads previous requirements
requirement> Add password reset functionality
```
### Reviewing Progress
```bash
# Check what you've asked G3 to build
cat .g3/requirements.md
# Or use the command within G3
requirement> /requirements
```
### Sharing Requirements
```bash
# Share requirements with a team member
cp .g3/requirements.md requirements-backup.md
# Or commit to version control
git add .g3/requirements.md
git commit -m "Add project requirements"
```
## Implementation Details
### Functions
- `ensure_g3_dir()` - Creates `.g3` directory if it doesn't exist
- `load_existing_requirements()` - Loads requirements from `.g3/requirements.md`
- `save_requirements()` - Saves requirements to `.g3/requirements.md`
### File Structure
```
my-project/
├── .g3/
│ └── requirements.md # Accumulated requirements
├── logs/ # Session logs (existing)
└── ... (your project files)
```
## Benefits
1. **No data loss**: Requirements are persisted even if G3 crashes or is interrupted
2. **Transparency**: Always know what G3 is working on
3. **Resumability**: Pick up where you left off in any session
4. **Documentation**: Requirements serve as project documentation
5. **Collaboration**: Share requirements with team members
6. **Auditability**: Track what was requested and when
## Comparison with Traditional Autonomous Mode
| Feature | Accumulative Mode | Traditional `--autonomous` |
|---------|------------------|---------------------------|
| Requirements file | `.g3/requirements.md` | `requirements.md` (root) |
| Auto-save | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (manual edit) |
| Interactive | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Incremental | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (one-shot) |
| Resume support | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Manual |
## Future Enhancements
Potential future improvements:
- Requirement status tracking (pending, in-progress, completed)
- Requirement dependencies and ordering
- Requirement templates and snippets
- Integration with issue trackers
- Requirement validation and linting
