PACE

An engineering operating system: a versioned, installable engine that preserves, organizes, governs and evolves the architectural knowledge of software projects, in collaboration between people and AI.

PACE is not a library embedded inside a product. It is installed once and governs any number of independent projects, each carrying only its own .pace/ memory — never a copy of PACE itself.

Status

Founded 2026-07-06. This repository currently contains only this founding commit. The minimal day-1 skeleton (kernel, services, engines, ontology, protocols, governance, policies, standards, contracts, cli, history, docs) is the next step, not yet built.

Founding principle

• PACE — the engine. Code only, versioned, installable. No knowledge of any specific organization or project.
• Organización — an adopting company's own governance memory (who holds authority, its own policies, its registry of projects), same recursive shape as a project instance, scoped one level up.
• Instancia (.pace/) — a single project's own memory: mission, vision, roadmap, sprint, handoff, history, decisions.
• Proyecto — the actual product codebase. Outside PACE's concern beyond hosting a .pace/ folder at its root.

Roadmap (founding sequence)

2. Implementar el esqueleto mínimo.
3. Implementar pace init.
4. Adoptar el primer proyecto gobernado por PACE.
5. Implementar pace create.
6. Crear el primer proyecto nuevo nacido desde PACE.
