BWS AI Coding Template

Git worktree management and parallel testing toolkit for Node.js projects

Features

• 🌳 Git Worktree Management - Work on multiple features simultaneously with isolated environments
• 🧪 Parallel Testing - Run tests in multiple worktrees without port conflicts (LocalStack + Playwright)
• ☁️ AWS Infrastructure - Optional CloudFormation templates for DynamoDB, Lambda, S3, Step Functions
• 🚀 CI/CD Pipeline - Optional CodePipeline setup with GitHub integration
• 🔒 Claude Code IAM - Read-only debugging access for AI assistant
• 📦 Non-Destructive - Won't overwrite existing files

Quick Start

# Install and run in your project directory
npx @blockchain-web-services/bws-ai-coding-template

# Or install globally
npm install -g @blockchain-web-services/bws-ai-coding-template
worktree-init

What Gets Installed

Always Installed:

• ✅ Worktree management scripts (scripts/worktree/)
• ✅ Documentation (docs/)
• ✅ .gitignore patterns for worktrees
• ✅ NPM scripts for worktree commands

Optional (if you choose AWS deployment):

• ✅ Test infrastructure with LocalStack (test/)
• ✅ CloudFormation templates (.deploy/)
• ✅ CI/CD pipeline (devops.yml)

Interactive Setup

The installer will ask you:

1. Project name - Auto-detected from package.json
2. GitHub username - For repository configuration
3. AWS deployments - Whether to include AWS infrastructure and testing

Safety Features

• ❌ Won't overwrite existing .deploy/ folder
• ❌ Won't overwrite existing test/ or tests/ folder
• ⚠️ Warns before overwriting scripts/worktree/
• ✅ Dry run mode available (--dry-run)

Usage After Installation

Create a Worktree

npm run worktree:create feature-name

Each worktree gets:

• Unique LocalStack port (4567-4596)
• Unique Playwright port (8080-8109)
• Isolated Docker containers
• Separate DynamoDB tables

Manage Worktrees

npm run worktree:list          # List all worktrees
npm run worktree:merge <name>  # Merge to current branch
npm run worktree:remove <name> # Remove a worktree

Run Tests (if AWS enabled)

cd test
npm install
npm run docker:up    # Start LocalStack
npm run setup        # Create AWS resources
npm test             # Run all tests

Parallel Testing

Multiple worktrees can run tests simultaneously:

Main branch:    LocalStack on port 4567
feature-a:      LocalStack on port 4579
feature-b:      LocalStack on port 4580
fix-bug:        LocalStack on port 4581

Each environment is completely isolated with unique:

• Ports
• Docker containers
• DynamoDB tables
• S3 buckets

Documentation

After installation, see docs/ folder for:

• WORKTREES.md - Complete worktree workflow
• GIT_WORKFLOW.md - Rebase, commit, merge best practices
• PARALLEL_TESTING.md - LocalStack, Docker, port isolation
• AWS_INFRASTRUCTURE.md - CloudFormation templates explained
• CICD_PIPELINE.md - CodePipeline and CodeBuild setup
• TROUBLESHOOTING.md - Common issues and solutions
• CLAUDE_INSTRUCTIONS.md - AI assistant integration

Requirements

• Node.js: 18.x or later
• Git: 2.5+ (for worktree support)
• Docker: For LocalStack (if using AWS features)

CLI Options

# Dry run (see what would be installed)
npx @blockchain-web-services/bws-ai-coding-template --dry-run

# Skip AWS infrastructure
npx @blockchain-web-services/bws-ai-coding-template --skip-aws

# Skip test folder
npx @blockchain-web-services/bws-ai-coding-template --skip-test

Development Status

⚠️ Currently in development - Core functionality is complete but CLI implementation is pending.

See IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md for details on remaining work.
