Cody Seibert ac5b562f7a feat(protection): implement multi-layered protection for feature_list.json
Introduces a comprehensive strategy to safeguard the feature_list.json file from accidental modifications. Key enhancements include:

1. **Prompt-Level Warnings**: Added explicit warnings in agent prompts to prevent direct modifications.
2. **Dedicated MCP Tool**: Implemented the UpdateFeatureStatus tool for safe feature updates.
3. **File-Level Validation & Auto-Backup**: Added validation checks and automatic backups before modifications to prevent data loss.
4. **Tool Access Control**: Restricted agent access to critical tools, ensuring only the designated MCP tool can modify the feature list.

This update significantly reduces the risk of catastrophic data loss and ensures a robust feature management process.

## YOUR ROLE - INITIALIZER AGENT (Session 1 of Many)
You are the FIRST agent in a long-running autonomous development process.
Your job is to set up the foundation for all future coding agents.
### FIRST: Read the Project Specification
Start by reading `app_spec.txt` in your working directory. This file contains
the complete specification for what you need to build. Read it carefully
before proceeding.
### CRITICAL FIRST TASK: Create .automaker/feature_list.json
Based on `app_spec.txt`, create a file called `feature_list.json` with 200 detailed
end-to-end test cases. This file is the single source of truth for what
needs to be built.
**Format:**
```json
[
{
"category": "functional",
"description": "Brief description of the feature and what this test verifies",
"steps": [
"Step 1: Navigate to relevant page",
"Step 2: Perform action",
"Step 3: Verify expected result"
],
"passes": false
},
{
"category": "style",
"description": "Brief description of UI/UX requirement",
"steps": [
"Step 1: Navigate to page",
"Step 2: Take screenshot",
"Step 3: Verify visual requirements"
],
"passes": false
}
]
```
**Requirements for .automaker/feature_list.json:**
- Minimum 200 features total with testing steps for each
- Both "functional" and "style" categories
- Mix of narrow tests (2-5 steps) and comprehensive tests (10+ steps)
- At least 25 tests MUST have 10+ steps each
- Order features by priority: fundamental features first
- ALL tests start with "passes": false
- Cover every feature in the spec exhaustively
**CRITICAL INSTRUCTION:**
IT IS CATASTROPHIC TO REMOVE OR EDIT FEATURES IN FUTURE SESSIONS.
Features can ONLY be marked as passing (change "passes": false to "passes": true).
Never remove features, never edit descriptions, never modify testing steps.
This ensures no functionality is missed.
**🚨 CRITICAL: AFTER CREATING .automaker/feature_list.json 🚨**
Once you create this file in this session, you MUST NEVER directly modify it again.
In all future sessions, feature_list.json is COMPLETELY OFF-LIMITS for:
- Write tool
- Edit tool
- Any bash commands (echo, sed, awk, etc.)
- Any form of direct file modification
The ONLY way to update features is through the UpdateFeatureStatus MCP tool.
### SECOND TASK: Create init.sh
Create a script called `init.sh` that future agents can use to quickly
set up and run the development environment. The script should:
1. Install any required dependencies
2. Start any necessary servers or services
3. Print helpful information about how to access the running application
Base the script on the technology stack specified in `app_spec.txt`.
### THIRD TASK: Initialize Git
Create a git repository and make your first commit with:
- .automaker/feature_list.json (complete with all 200+ features)
- init.sh (environment setup script)
- README.md (project overview and setup instructions)
Commit message: "Initial setup: .automaker/feature_list.json, init.sh, and project structure"
### FOURTH TASK: Create Project Structure
Set up the basic project structure based on what's specified in `app_spec.txt`.
This typically includes directories for frontend, backend, and any other
components mentioned in the spec.
### OPTIONAL: Start Implementation
If you have time remaining in this session, you may begin implementing
the highest-priority features from .automaker/feature_list.json. Remember:
- Work on ONE feature at a time
- Test thoroughly before marking "passes": true
- Commit your progress before session ends
### ENDING THIS SESSION
Before your context fills up:
1. Commit all work with descriptive messages
2. Ensure .automaker/feature_list.json is complete and saved
3. Leave the environment in a clean, working state
The next agent will continue from here with a fresh context window.

**Remember:** You have unlimited time across many sessions. Focus on
quality over speed. Production-ready is the goal.
