Configuration

Optional ai-shell.toml in your project root:

[container]
image = "svange/augint-shell"
image_tag = "latest"
extra_env = { MY_VAR = "value" }

[llm]
primary_model = "qwen3.5:27b"
fallback_model = "qwen3-coder-next"
context_size = 32768
ollama_port = 11434
webui_port = 3000

[aider]
model = "ollama_chat/qwen3.5:27b"

Global config at ~/.config/ai-shell/config.toml is also supported.

How It Works

• Pulls a pre-built Docker image from Docker Hub (svange/augint-shell)
• Creates per-project containers named augint-shell-{project}-dev
• Mounts your project directory, SSH keys, AWS credentials, and tool configs
• Runs AI tools interactively inside the container
• Supports concurrent instances across multiple projects

Standardization architecture

augint-shell also ships the skill bundle and Python machinery for repository standardization. The system distributes work across three repositories:

• augint-shell — content owner: canonical vocabulary, templates, generators, and the orchestration skills.
• augint-github (ai-gh) — thin GitHub-state mutation API: rulesets apply, config standardize, OIDC trust.
• augint-tools (ai-tools) — multi-repo workflow helpers and workspace enumeration via workspace.yaml.

Each repo releases independently. Changing a gate name is a one-repo change in augint-shell — downstream tools read the canon at runtime.

Canonical gate vocabulary

Every repo enforces the same 5 pre-merge gates as required status checks via branch rulesets. iac repos additionally enforce 1 post-deploy gate on the production branch. Source of truth: templates/claude/skills/ai-standardize-repo/gates.json. Skills that name a gate read it from there; they never hardcode.

Gate	Scope	What it checks
Code quality	all repos	linting, formatting, type checking, file hygiene
Security	all repos	Bandit/Semgrep SAST, dependency vulnerabilities
Unit tests	all repos	tests + coverage floor (>=80%)
Compliance	all repos	GPL/AGPL/LGPL license rejection
Build validation	all repos	uv build / sam build / cdk synth / npm run build / terraform validate
Acceptance tests	iac production only	runs on dev's tip after deploy; required context on iac_production ruleset; satisfied on the promotion PR

Repo type and language detection

Detection is code-based via ai-shell standardize detect --json. There is no .ai-shell.toml dependency for repo-shape decisions.

Language:

• Python — pyproject.toml with [project].name AND no [tool.uv].package = false
• Node — package.json AND (no pyproject.toml OR pyproject.toml has [tool.uv].package = false)
• The package = false marker is authoritative — it says "this pyproject is a dependency container, not a buildable Python package"

Repo type:

• iac if ANY of: samconfig.toml, cdk.json, *.tf at root, serverless.yml, OR a workflow file contains sam deploy, cdk deploy, terraform apply, aws s3 sync, or aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials
• library if a workflow file publishes via pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish, twine upload, uv publish, or npm publish
• Publish wins over deploy when both signals are present — a library with SAM-based test infrastructure (e.g. ai-lls-lib) is still a library

Pipeline architecture principles

• Single pipeline.yaml per repo. All canonical gates inline as jobs in one workflow. No reusable workflow split (_gate-*.yaml). This preserves the unified GitHub Actions DAG view per CI run.
• AI-mediated merge, not Python. The Python layer is read-only: validate(path) returns a DriftReport; canonical_jobs(language, repo_type) returns inline job snippets the AI uses as reference. The /ai-standardize-pipeline skill drives Claude through the merge, handling legacy renames (Pre-commit checks -> Code quality, Integration tests/Smoke tests/E2E * -> Acceptance tests), missing gate insertion, custom job preservation, and special patterns like parallelized post-deploy tests (synthetic Acceptance tests aggregator that needs: [<parallel test jobs>]).
• Minimum-spec validation. Each canonical gate declares required steps in order. Users may add custom steps anywhere as long as required ones appear in the declared order. Action SHAs and step name: fields are ignored; only uses: (action path substring) and run: (regex, MULTILINE+DOTALL for multi-line shell continuations) count.
• One-shot, no two-phase migration. Standardization is a single invocation per repo. No "run once to scaffold, edit by hand, run again to verify."
