# Next Steps for MarkiTect Development

**Session Goal for Tomorrow**: Test tddai infrastructure thoroughly using tddai itself to ensure robustness before proceeding with new features.

## 🔧 **Primary Focus: Validate TDD Infrastructure**

### 1. Self-Testing with tddai
- Use `make tdd-start NUM=11` to test actual workspace creation with issue #11
- Generate real tests using `make tdd-add-test` to validate AI integration
- Complete full cycle: start → add-test → status → finish
- Identify any rough edges or workflow issues
- Ensure error handling works correctly for edge cases

### 2. Infrastructure Robustness Testing
- Test with invalid issue numbers
- Test workspace collision scenarios (multiple active workspaces)
- Test cleanup and recovery from failed states
- Validate all error messages are helpful and actionable
- Ensure virtual environment integration is solid

## 🎯 **Secondary Opportunities (After Infrastructure Validation)**

### 3. Core MarkiTect Feature Implementation
- Pick a Markdown feature from wiki specs (MF-1 through MF-10)
- Use the validated TDD workflow to implement it properly
- Expand `markitect/parser.py` with real functionality
- Demonstrate TDD infrastructure working with actual feature development

### 4. CLI Interface Development
- Build out the actual MarkiTect CLI described in architecture
- Implement GraphQL interface and SQLite database integration
- Make the project immediately useful for end users

### 5. Schema Validation System
- Implement JSON Schema validation features (core differentiator)
- Build schema generation from existing Markdown
- Add validation and stub generation capabilities

### 6. Integration & Polish
- Set up actual CI/CD pipeline
- Add code coverage reporting with pytest-cov
- Implement proper linting/formatting targets (black, ruff, mypy)
- Performance optimization and documentation improvements

## 📋 **Success Criteria for Tomorrow**

**Primary Goal**: Confidently say "the TDD infrastructure is robust and reliable"
- Complete issue #11 workflow without major issues
- Generate and run meaningful tests via the tddai system
- Document any improvements or fixes needed
- Ready to use tddai for implementing new MarkiTect features

**Philosophy**: Validate the foundation before building the house. Any problems we encounter should be attributable to new feature implementation, not infrastructure issues.
