Scaffold Files

These are the files you need to set up DOSI in a new project. Copy them from the scaffold/ directory in the repo, or create them manually.

File List

scaffold/
├── dosi/
│   ├── STATE.md          ← project state (customize)
│   ├── DOSI-REF.md       ← protocol reference (use as-is)
│   └── ocd/
│       ├── INDEX.md      ← session index (customize project name)
│       └── TEMPLATE.md   ← session template (use as-is)
└── CLAUDE.md.example     ← AI config (customize heavily)

STATE.md

The live snapshot of your project. Customize everything.

DOSI-REF.md

A lightweight reference to the canonical DOSI protocol. Keeps the protocol portable without duplicating the full document in every project.

INDEX.md

The append-only session log. Start empty, grows with every session.

TEMPLATE.md

The OCD session template. Use as-is — it's designed to work for any project.

CLAUDE.md

The AI's operating instructions. This is the most important file to customize. It tells the AI:

• What this project is
• Where the control room lives
• How to boot a session
• Project-specific conventions

See the Getting Started guide for a complete example.
