For coding agents

This is the operating manual for generating Oridecon code. Humans can skip it and start at Your First App.

1. Read in this order

/llms.txt — identity, install, rules, every docs URL.
/agents.md — distilled framework AGENTS.md: hierarchy, Result vs exceptions, provider lifecycle, the never-list.
/SKILL.md — drop-in skill for Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode (same rules, fetchable without another clone).
/llms-full.txt — the same catalog plus architecture notes. Per-package: /llms/index.txt (example /llms/oridecon-sql.txt).
This page — repo map, the one project tree, recipes. Then Common mistakes for fail vs fix.
One example that already boots Application.
The protocol in oridecon-contracts, not a concrete class in an extension.

Installable pack: oridecon-skills (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode). One-file fetch: /SKILL.md. Install commands: Agent skills. Do not re-derive the rules from blog posts. If a packed skill and this site disagree on layout, this site wins (domains/, app-root di/).

Canonical ruleset in the framework repo (branch dev): AGENTS.md.

2. The hierarchy is the whole design

oridecon-contracts    Zero dependencies. Protocols, types, exceptions only.
    ↑
oridecon              Depends ONLY on oridecon-contracts.
    ↑
oridecon-*            Extension packages. Never import each other.

If two or more packages need the same type, protocol, or exception, it lives in oridecon-contracts. No exceptions.

oridecon-ai-* packages follow the same law. They do not import each other or oridecon-ai. The orchestrator discovers them through entry points. Shared value types (ChatMessage, Document, SearchResult) already live in contracts — do not invent a second copy.

Documented exceptions (deps must be in pyproject.toml):

Package	May import
`oridecon-admin`	auth, cache, features, resilience, ui
`oridecon-ai` (orchestrator)	`oridecon-ai-*`, `oridecon-vector`
`oridecon-multimedia`	`oridecon-multimedia-*`
`oridecon-testing`	any extension

An import linter enforces this. A cross-extension import that type-checks will still fail CI.

3. One project tree

There is one layout. Templates (minimal, api, web-api, graphql, worker, full) add packages and application.yaml sections — not a second shape. There is no --structure flag and no models/ directory.

Kind	Where it lives
Composition root	`src/<app>/app.py` — `create_app()`, ASGI target `<app>.app:app`
Unscoped HTTP	`src/<app>/controllers/`
Unscoped domain types	`src/<app>/domains/`
App providers	`src/<app>/di/*_provider.py`
Module provider	`src/<app>/modules/<slug>/provider.py`
Cross-cutting	`src/<app>/shared/` (errors, middleware, health, …)
Bounded context	`src/<app>/modules/<slug>/` after `oridecon new module`

src/<app>/
├── app.py                 # create_app() — never list controllers by hand
├── controllers/
├── domains/
├── di/                    # app-root providers
├── services/
├── infrastructure/        # db, cache, events
├── shared/
└── modules/
    ├── __init__.py        # empty until oridecon new module
    └── auth/
        ├── protocols.py   # the only types other modules import
        ├── provider.py
        ├── domains/
        └── controllers/

Controllers are discovered. Teach WebModule.configure(discover=["<app>.controllers", "<app>.modules"]) so oridecon gen controller does not require editing app.py. Living examples such as support-agent and auth-web may pass controllers=[…] instead — copy that only when matching the example. Adding a module lists it in create_app() next to WebModule.

4. Repo map (`dbtinoy-/oridecon`, branch `dev`)

Path	What it is
`AGENTS.md`	Canonical agent rules
`examples/<slug>/`	Gated apps + `example-hub` — copy these
`core/oridecon`	Application, container, providers, modules, Result, config
`core/oridecon-contracts`	Protocols, types, exceptions — zero deps
`packages/oridecon-*`	Web, SQL, auth, queue, …
`experimental/ai/oridecon-ai*`	AI platform
`experimental/multimedia/oridecon-multimedia*`	Multimedia
`experimental/apps/oridecon-{cli,admin,ui}`	Tooling (experimental except testing)

This docs site (oridecon-docs):

Authored (edit here)	Generated (do not hand-edit)
`getting-started/`, `fundamentals/`, `guides/`, `ecosystem/`, `examples/`, `blog/`	Package trees under `packages/`, `platform/`, `experimental/`

Package pages are copies from the framework. Destinations follow src/data/packages.json hrefs (the same URLs as the sidebar). Re-run scripts/sync-readmes.py / scripts/generate-api.py — do not invent hub paths like packages/web/.

5. Recipes that will pass CI

Install and scaffold:

uv add "oridecon-cli>=0.1,<0.2"
oridecon new project my-app --template web-api
cd my-app
oridecon run

Add surface area with the CLI, then fill in behavior:

oridecon gen controller users          # src/my_app/controllers/…
oridecon gen service greetings         # src/my_app/services/…
oridecon gen error not_found           # src/my_app/shared/errors/…  (always shared)
oridecon new module auth               # src/my_app/modules/auth/{protocols,provider,services}
oridecon gen controller users --module auth

A provider binds in register() and resolves in boot(). They take different protocols:

from oridecon.di.provider import Provider
from oridecon.contracts.core import ProviderPriority
from oridecon.contracts.core.di import (
    ContainerRegistrarProtocol,
    ContainerResolverProtocol,
)


class BillingProvider(Provider):
    name = "billing"
    priority = ProviderPriority.DOMAIN

    async def register(self, container: ContainerRegistrarProtocol) -> None:
        from my_app.services.billing_service import BillingService

        container.singleton(BillingService, BillingService)

    async def boot(self, container: ContainerResolverProtocol) -> None:
        billing = await container.resolve(BillingService)
        await billing.warmup()

App-root providers land in src/<app>/di/. Do not put business logic on the provider class.

Domain failures are values. Infrastructure failures raise:

from oridecon.result import Result, Ok, Err


async def find_user(self, user_id: str) -> Result[User, DomainError]:
    user = await self.repo.get(user_id)
    if not user:
        return Err(UserNotFound(user_id))
    return Ok(user)

Never unwrap() without is_ok(). Never return Result from __init__ or lifecycle hooks. Never wrap a dead database in Err.

6. Copy an example, not a vibe

Each example boots the real Application — real DI, real providers, in-memory backends.

Need	Copy
Controller + SQL in the repository	`examples/sql-repository`
Cookie + JWT session	`examples/auth-web`
Agent loop with tools on the container	`examples/support-agent`
Module boundary + RBAC	`examples/auth-rbac`

PYTHONPATH=examples/support-agent/src uv run python -m support_agent
make test-examples

Catalog: Examples. Source: github.com/dbtinoy-/oridecon/tree/dev/examples.

If the generated app does not look like an example — application.yaml, module.py / app.py as composition root, a provider that only registers, services that return Result[T, E] — it will not look like Oridecon.

7. When you answer or generate

Cite packages with the oridecon- prefix (oridecon-sql, not “the SQL helper”).
Talk to the protocol in contracts, not the class in the extension.
Link the matching page on docs.oridecon.dev.
FastAPI users are not starting over: keep Starlette routing and Pydantic; add a composition root. See Coming from FastAPI and the migration guide.
Pin >=0.1,<0.2 (public release 0.1.1). Alpha means the surface can move; the four architecture laws will not. Changelog: 0.1.1.

The never-list lives in /agents.md: no service locator, no module-level singletons, no Any on injected constructors, no mocks in src/, no if/elif type dispatch.
