# AtoCore Project Registration Policy
## Purpose
This document defines the normal path for adding a new project to AtoCore and
for safely updating an existing registration later.
The goal is to make `register + refresh` the standard workflow instead of
relying on long custom ingestion prompts every time.
## What Registration Means
Registering a project does not ingest it by itself.
Registration means:
- the project gets a canonical AtoCore id
- known aliases are recorded
- the staged source roots for that project are defined
- AtoCore and OpenClaw can later refresh that project consistently
Updating a project means:
- aliases can be corrected or expanded
- the short registry description can be improved
- ingest roots can be adjusted deliberately
- the canonical project id remains stable
## Required Fields
Each project registry entry must include:
- `id`
- stable canonical project id
- prefer lowercase kebab-case
- examples:
- `p04-gigabit`
- `p05-interferometer`
- `p06-polisher`
- `aliases`
- short common names or abbreviations
- examples:
- `p05`
- `interferometer`
- `description`
- short explanation of what the registered source set represents
- `ingest_roots`
- one or more staged roots under configured source layers
## Allowed Source Roots
Current allowed `source` values are:
- `vault`
- `drive`
These map to the configured Dalidou source boundaries.
## Recommended Registration Rules
1. Prefer one canonical project id
2. Keep aliases short and practical
3. Start with the smallest useful staged roots
4. Prefer curated high-signal docs before broad corpora
5. Keep repo context selective at first
6. Avoid registering noisy or generated trees
7. Use `drive` for trusted operational material when available
8. Use `vault` for curated staged PKM and repo-doc snapshots
## Normal Workflow
For a new project:
1. stage the initial source docs on Dalidou
2. inspect the expected shape with:
- `GET /projects/template`
- or `atocore.sh project-template`
3. preview the entry without mutating state:
- `POST /projects/proposal`
- or `atocore.sh propose-project ...`
4. register the approved entry:
- `POST /projects/register`
- or `atocore.sh register-project ...`
5. verify the entry with:
- `GET /projects`
- or the T420 helper `atocore.sh projects`
6. refresh it with:
- `POST /projects/{id}/refresh`
- or `atocore.sh refresh-project <id>`
7. verify retrieval and context quality
8. only later promote stable facts into Trusted Project State
For an existing registered project:
1. inspect the current entry with:
- `GET /projects`
- or `atocore.sh projects`
2. update the registration if aliases, description, or roots need refinement:
- `PUT /projects/{id}`
3. verify the updated entry
4. refresh the project again
5. verify retrieval and context quality did not regress
## What Not To Do
Do not:
- register giant noisy trees blindly
- treat registration as equivalent to trusted state
- dump the full PKM by default
- rely on aliases that collide across projects
- use the live machine DB as a source root
## Template
Use:
- [project-registry.example.json](C:/Users/antoi/ATOCore/config/project-registry.example.json)
And the API template endpoint:
- `GET /projects/template`
Other lifecycle endpoints:
- `POST /projects/proposal`
- `POST /projects/register`
- `PUT /projects/{id}`
- `POST /projects/{id}/refresh`
