Project Plan

Instructions: Fill out each section below. Your AI coding agent will use this to automatically set up the repository, generate compliance documentation, and create the initial project structure. Be specific — the more detail you provide, the better the agent can help.

Compliance Level
- FIPS Low — Public-facing informational content, no PII, no CUI
- FIPS Moderate — Most federal systems: PII, financial data, internal tools
- FIPS High — National security systems, critical infrastructure
Data Classification
- Public data only
- PII (Personally Identifiable Information)
- CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information)
- PHI (Protected Health Information)
- Financial data (FTI, payment info)
- Authentication credentials/secrets
Key Requirements
Constraints
- Must use FedRAMP-authorized services only
- Must support Section 508 accessibility
- Must integrate with existing system:
- Must support offline/air-gapped operation
- Other:

| Security/ISSO | Read + Review | |
| Approving Official | Read |
Agent Environment
- Local machine — developer's workstation with CLI access
- GitHub Codespace — cloud-hosted dev environment
- Sandboxed container — isolated Docker/Podman environment
- CI/CD only — agent runs in GitHub Actions, no local access
- GitHub — push code, create PRs, manage issues
- cloud.gov — deploy applications
- workshop.cloud.gov (GitLab) — alternative code hosting
- npm/PyPI — publish packages
- Container registry — push images
Implementation Approach
What Happens Next
After you fill out this template and place it in your repository:
- The AI agent reads this file and understands your project
- It runs the project-bootstrap skill which:
- Creates the directory structure appropriate for your stack
- Generates AGENTS.md (behavioral contract for AI agents)
- Copies CODING_PRACTICES.md (secure coding standards)
- Creates ADR-001 from your implementation approach
- Generates a risk assessment from your compliance level + data classification
- Sets up CI/CD workflows for your stack
- Creates SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, LICENSE
- You review the generated files and adjust as needed
- Start building — the agent follows the standards automatically
The entire setup takes about 5 minutes of human input and 2 minutes of agent work.
