coverage, watch mode for dev workflow)
---
## Phase 1: Core Refactoring (Unidirectional Pivot) ✅
**Goal**: Simplify from bidirectional sync to code → diagrams
**Dependencies**: None - this is blocking for all other phases
1. [x] **Refactor CLI**
- Rename `sync` command → `generate` (or just `gen`)
- Remove: `--docs-only`, `--code-only`, `--dry-run`, `--force`
- Keep: `generate`, `watch`, `init`
- Optional: Keep `list` as debug helper
**CLI Flags Design**:
- All flags are **ephemeral by default** (temporary override for single run)
- Add `--save` flag to persist overrides to `codetwin.toml`
- Example workflow:
```bash
ctw gen --output docs/api.md --layout layered ↑ --save ⏎ ```
**Config Auto-Generation** (inspired by `uv` pattern):
- `ctw gen` always ensures config exists:
1. Try to read `codetwin.toml`
2. If not found → auto-run init logic (creates with defaults)
3. Parse CLI flags (ephemeral overrides)
4. Generate output
- `ctw init` explicitly creates/regenerates config (for customization or docs)
- **Idempotent behavior** (like `uv init`):
- If `codetwin.toml` doesn't exist → create with defaults
- If `codetwin.toml` exists → no-op (silent success, print "codetwin.toml already
initialized")
- User can use `ctw init --force` or manually edit to customize
- Both `gen` and `init` share identical `Config::defaults()` function
- Example:
```bash
ctw gen ctw gen --output docs/api.md ctw gen --output docs/api.md --save ctw init ctw init ctw init --force ```
2. [x] **Simplify SyncEngine**
- Rename `sync()` → `generate()`
- Remove bidirectional merge/conflict logic
- Always overwrite output (code is source of truth)
- Remove `check()` command (not applicable for unidirectional)
3. [x] **CLI Flag Implementation**
- Add flags to `generate` command:
- `--output <PATH>`: Override output file location
- `--layout <NAME>`: Override layout (dependency-graph, layered, readme-embedded)
- `--source <DIR>`: Override source directories (can be repeated)
- `--exclude <PATTERN>`: Additional exclude patterns
- `--save`: Persist flag overrides to codetwin.toml
- Flag behavior:
- Without `--save`: flags are **ephemeral** (override for this run only, don't modify config)
- With `--save`: flags **persist** to codetwin.toml and become new defaults
4. [x] **Update Config Schema**
- Simplify `codetwin.toml` structure
- **Config file is optional** - tool works with hardcoded defaults
- Sensible defaults (like uv/ruff): users rarely need to edit
- Keep manual layer configuration but with smart defaults
- Example schema with defaults:
```toml
# Auto-detected or explicit
source_dirs = ["src/", "lib/"]
# Output configuration
output_file = "docs/architecture.md"
layout = "dependency-graph" # or "layered", "readme-embedded", "c4"
# Exclusions (sensible defaults)
exclude_patterns = [
"**/target/**",
"**/node_modules/**",
"**/.git/**",
"**/tests/**"
]
# Optional: Manual layer configuration (for layered layout)
[[layers]]
name = "User Interface"
pattern = ["main.rs", "cli.rs"]
[[layers]]
name = "Orchestration"
pattern = ["engine.rs"]
```
- Implementation: Single `Config::defaults()` function used by both auto-gen and `init`
5. [x] **Update Documentation**
- Rewrite README: "Code → Diagram Generator" not "Bidirectional Sync"
- Remove references to docs → code sync
- Update CLI help text
---
## Phase 1 Validation ✅ Completed
**All 9 validation tests passed** (2026-02-04):
- [x] CLI has correct subcommands (gen, watch, init, list)
- [x] gen command has all required flags (--output, --layout, --source, --exclude, --save)
- [x] gen auto-creates codetwin.toml with defaults on first run
- [x] Config has required schema keys (source_dirs, output_file, layout, exclude_patterns)
- [x] init creates config on first run
- [x] init is idempotent (second run returns no-op message)
- [x] gen is idempotent (consecutive runs produce identical outputs)
- [x] Ephemeral flags don't modify config file
- [x] --save flag persists config changes
**Build Status**: ✅ Compiles cleanly, all tests pass

---
## Phase 2 Details: Core Layout Implementations
### Layout 2: Layered Architecture ✅
_Best for: Design pattern analysis and architecture reviews_
✅ **Status**: COMPLETE
**Completed**:
1. ✅ Created `src/layouts/layered.rs` with `LayeredLayout` struct
2. ✅ Added `LayerConfig` struct with `patterns` vec to `src/config.rs`

**Example Usage**:
```bash
ctw gen --layout layered
```
**Configuration Example**:
```toml
[[layers]]
name = "User Interface"
patterns = ["src/cli.rs", "src/ui/**"]
[[layers]]
name = "Business Logic"
patterns = ["src/engine.rs", "src/core/**"]
```

---
## Phase 3: Multi-Language Support
**Goal**: Extend beyond Rust to popular languages
**Dependencies**: [needs Phase 1] ✅ + [benefits significantly from Phase 1.5 infrastructure]
**Refactoring with Phase 1.5 Benefits**:
- Parallel parsing (`rayon`) now critical: 3+ languages per file means 3x parsing workload
- Structured logging (`tracing`) prevents log spam from multiple driver instances
- Error handling (`anyhow`) provides better error chains when parser fails across languages
- File discovery (`walkdir` + `glob`) already supports `.py`, `.ts`, `.rs` extensions
**Parallelization**: Can be done in parallel with Phase 2 Layouts 2-3. Python and TypeScript drivers
can be implemented independently. Multi-Language Integration (step 3) requires all individual
drivers to be complete.
1. [x] **Python Driver** (`src/drivers/python.rs`)
- Use `tree-sitter-python` for AST parsing
- Extract: classes, functions, imports, decorators
- Map to IR (Blueprint → Elements)
- Handle Python-specific patterns (dunder methods, properties)
- Leverage structured logging from Phase 1.5 for per-driver debug output
- Crate: `tree-sitter-python = "0.20"`
- **Note on Docstrings**: Manual detection (first string literal = docstring)
2. [ ] **TypeScript Driver** (`src/drivers/typescript.rs`)
- Use `tree-sitter-typescript` for AST parsing
- Extract: classes, interfaces, functions, imports, exports
- Handle TypeScript-specific: generics, type annotations, namespaces
- Leverage structured logging from Phase 1.5 for per-driver debug output
- Crate: `tree-sitter-typescript = "0.21"`
3. [x] **Multi-Language Integration**
- Update discovery to find .py, .ts files (already improved by Phase 1.5)
- Allow multiple languages in same repository
- Merge blueprints from different languages
- Parallel parsing now handles 3+ file types without slowdown (Phase 1.5 rayon)
- Test: polyglot repository (Rust + Python + TypeScript)
4. [ ] **Optional Language Drivers** (future)
- Go: tree-sitter-go
- Java: tree-sitter-java
- C++: tree-sitter-cpp
- Crates: `tree-sitter-go`, `tree-sitter-java`, `tree-sitter-cpp`
---
## Phase 4: Advanced Layouts & Features
**Goal**: Support advanced documentation strategies
**Dependencies**: [needs Phase 1 + Phase 2 (mostly)]
**Integration Notes**:
- **4C Model Layout** [needs Phase 1]: Independent layout alongside Phase 2, can start in parallel
or after
- **Enhanced Dependency Graph** [needs Phase 2 Layout 1]: Builds on Dependency Graph implementation
- **Diagram Customization** [needs Phase 2 (all layouts)]: Requires layout infrastructure to be
mature
- **Interactive Mode** [needs Phase 2 + Diagram Customization]: Most advanced, do last
### 4C Model Layout (C4 Architecture Diagrams)
_Context, Containers, Components, Code - popular in enterprise_
1. [ ] Research C4 model thoroughly (Simon Brown's C4 Architecture)
2. [ ] Create `src/layouts/c4.rs`
3. [ ] **Level 1 - System Context**: User-configured in `codetwin.toml` (manual, not extracted)
4. [ ] **Level 2 - Containers**: Detect deployment units (bin vs lib crates, multiple binaries)
5. [ ] **Level 3 - Components**: Auto-extract major subsystems (folders/modules grouping)
6. [ ] **Level 4 - Code**: Class diagrams per component (current capability)
7. [ ] Generate separate markdown file per C4 level
8. [ ] Support C4-PlantUML syntax (if Mermaid insufficient)
9. [ ] Add tests: verify 4-level hierarchy generation
10. [ ] Document: "Enterprise-grade architecture documentation using C4 model"
### Enhanced Dependency Graph
1. [ ] **Circular Dependency Detection**
- Highlight cycles in red on diagram
- Warn in output: "⚠ Circular dependency detected: A → B → C → A"
- Use structured logging (Phase 1.5) to emit detection events
2. [ ] **Dependency Metrics**
- Calculate coupling metrics per module
- Identify "hub" modules (high fan-in/fan-out)
- Suggest refactoring opportunities
- Export metrics as JSON (Phase 1.5 serde_json) for CI integration
3. [ ] **Interactive Mode** (optional, future)
- Generate HTML with clickable nodes
- Hover to see module details
- Filter by layer or language
- Requires Phase 1.5 JSON output (feedable to frontend)
### Diagram Customization
1. [ ] **Mermaid Theme Support**
- Allow theme selection in config: `default`, `dark`, `forest`, `neutral`
- Custom color schemes per layer
- Use `mermaid-rs` for programmatic diagram generation (replaces hand-coded templates)
- Crate: `mermaid-rs` (or `graphviz-rust` for DOT export)
2. [ ] **Diagram Export Formats**
- Mermaid → SVG (using `mermaid-rs` or mermaid CLI wrapper)
- Mermaid → PNG (via mermaid CLI)
- JSON export (for downstream tools) - already supported via Phase 1.5
---
## Phase 5: Distribution & Adoption
**Goal**: Make CodeTwin accessible across package managers
**Dependencies**: [needs Phases 1-4 stable]
**Parallelization**: All distribution channels (Crates.io, Homebrew, npm, PyPI, Scoop) can be done
in parallel once infrastructure is ready. GitHub Releases should be done first/early (dependency for
other channels).
1. [ ] **Crates.io (Primary)**
- Polish Cargo.toml metadata (keywords, categories, description)
- Tag-based semantic versioning
- Publish with `cargo publish`
- Attach release binaries to GitHub Releases
2. [ ] **Homebrew (macOS/Linux)**
- Create tap repository: `carlosferreyra/homebrew-codetwin`
- Formula pointing to GitHub release tarballs
- Automate formula updates in CI post-release
- Test: `brew install carlosferreyra/codetwin/codetwin`
3. [ ] **npm (Node.js ecosystem)** (optional)
- Add package.json with bin entry
- Use binary-fetch strategy (download from GitHub releases)
- Publish to npm registry
- Test: `npx codetwin generate`
4. [ ] **PyPI (Python ecosystem)** ⭐ **Primary Distribution Channel** (Post-Phase 3.1)
- **Strategy**: Binary wrapper pattern (not pure Python rewrite)
- **Package Structure**: Python package wrapping compiled Rust binary
- **Platforms**: Wheels for macOS (x64/arm64), Linux (x64), Windows (x64)
- **Build Process**:
1. Build Rust binary via `cargo build --release`
2. Create Python package `codetwin/` with wrapper `cli.py`
3. Embed binaries in `codetwin/_bin/` directory
4. Build wheel with `python -m build`
5. Upload to PyPI with `twine`
- **CLI Entry Point**: `codetwin` command available globally via `uv tool install codetwin` or
`uvx codetwin`
- **Install Methods**:
- Via uv: `uv tool install codetwin` then `codetwin gen`
- Via uv ephemeral: `uvx codetwin gen`
- Traditional pip: `pip install codetwin` then `codetwin gen` (works but uv preferred)
- **Test**: `uvx codetwin --version && uvx codetwin gen --help`
- **See**: AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md > Meta-Task 6 for detailed implementation guide
5. [ ] **Scoop (Windows)** (optional)
- Maintain bucket manifest
- Point to GitHub release binaries
- Test: `scoop install codetwin`
6. [ ] **GitHub Releases**
- CI builds binaries for: macOS (x64/arm64), Linux (x64/arm64), Windows (x64)
- Attach to tagged releases
- Include checksums for verification

## Completed ✅
### Phase 1: Core Refactoring (Unidirectional Pivot)
**Completed**: 2026-02-04
- [x] **Refactor CLI**: Renamed `sync` → `gen`, removed bidirectional flags
- [x] **Simplify SyncEngine**: Renamed `sync()` → `generate()`, removed all merge logic
- [x] **CLI Flag Implementation**: Added `--output`, `--layout`, `--source`, `--exclude`, `--save`
- [x] **Update Config Schema**: Simplified to `source_dirs`, `output_file`, `layout`,
`exclude_patterns`
- [x] **Config Auto-Generation**: `ctw gen` auto-creates config with defaults
- [x] **Init Idempotency**: `ctw init` behavior matches uv init (no-op on second run)
- [x] **Ephemeral Flags**: Flags are temporary by default, `--save` for persistence
- [x] **Unidirectional Flow**: All bidirectional sync logic removed, code → docs only
- [x] **Compilation**: Builds successfully on Rust 2021, all validation tests pass
### Layout Infrastructure
- [x] Define `Layout` trait that takes `Vec<Blueprint>` and returns `Vec<(filename, content)>`
- [x] Add layout registry/factory (`layouts::get_layout(name)`) with default
- [x] Move folder-based markdown logic into `layouts/folder_markdown.rs`
- [x] Wire `codetwin.toml` to choose layout
- [x] Update `SyncEngine::generate()` to call selected layout
- [x] Add tests: layout selection, filename outputs, content generation
### Core Functionality
- [x] Rust driver with tree-sitter (extracts structs, functions, impl blocks)
- [x] IR (Intermediate Representation) for cross-language abstraction
- [x] Configuration management (`codetwin.toml` read/write)
- [x] File discovery (recursive `.rs` file finding with skip patterns)
- [x] `init` command (scaffolds project structure)
- [x] `generate` command (code → docs generation)
### Phase 2 - Layout 1: Dependency Graph
**Completed**: 2026-02-04
- [x] Create `src/layouts/dependency_graph.rs`
- [x] Extract module imports from IR (Rust: `use` statements)
- [x] Build directed graph of module dependencies using `petgraph`
- [x] Generate Mermaid `graph TD` diagram
- [x] Embed in markdown with module descriptions
- [x] Set as default layout in config
- [x] Add tests: verify graph structure, edge cases
- [x] Documentation: "Shows how modules connect and data flows"
### Phase 2.5: Language-Agnostic Refactoring
**Completed**: 2026-02-05
**Status**: ✅ ALL META-TASKS COMPLETE - Ready for Phase 3 (Multi-Language)
**Test Results**: 50/50 tests passing (including 7 new Phase 2.5 tests)
**Completed Meta-Tasks**:
1. ✅ **Meta-Task 1: Remove Hardcoded Paths**
- `generate_index_md()` now generates dynamic diagrams from actual blueprints
- Removed all hardcoded module references (no `main[main.rs]`, `cli[cli.rs]`, etc.)
- Verified: `grep "main\[main.rs\]" src/layouts/` returns 0 matches
2. ✅ **Meta-Task 2: Generic Terminology System**
- Created `src/drivers/terminology.rs` with `LanguageTerminology` struct
- Centralized generic defaults: "types", "items", "—"
- RustDriver overrides with language-specific: "structs", "fns", "()"
- Future-proof architecture documented for Python, Go, Haskell drivers
- Generic terminology used by default throughout layouts
3. ✅ **Meta-Task 3: Configurable Layer Defaults**
- `LayeredLayout::defaults()` now returns `vec![]` (empty)
- Auto-detection implemented for layering by directory structure
- Layers optional in config with `#[serde(default)]`
- Works without configuration - auto-detects from codebase structure
4. ✅ **Meta-Task 4: Custom Layout Support**
- Added `--custom-layout` CLI flag in `src/cli.rs`
- Implemented custom layout loader in `src/layouts/mod.rs`
- Supports TOML-based custom templates with IR field references
- Validation with helpful error messages
5. ✅ **Meta-Task 5: Integration Tests**
- Created `tests/test_phase2_5.rs` with 7 comprehensive tests
- Tests cover all meta-tasks: hardcoded paths, terminology, auto-detection, custom layouts
- All 50 tests passing (19 Phase 1.5 + 17 Phase 2 + 7 Phase 2.5 + legacy)
**Key Achievement**: CodeTwin layouts are now **truly language-agnostic** - ready for Python,
TypeScript, and any other language without modification. No language-specific assumptions remain.
**Next Focus**: Phase 3.2 (TypeScript driver) can now proceed with confidence that layout
infrastructure is generic and scalable.
