diegosouzapw Pattern 2: GitHub Feedback Templates
Concept: Structured templates for consistent GitHub issue creation.
6 Template Types: Bug Report, Feature Request, Improvement, Refactor, Documentation, Question/Discussion
Integration: Auto-triggered by /moai:9-feedback command.
Details: See Feedback Templates for all template types and usage.
Pattern 3: Template Optimization & Smart Merge
Concept: Intelligently merge template updates while preserving user customizations.
Smart Merge Algorithm:
def smart_merge(backup, template, current):
"""Three-way merge with intelligence."""
# Extract user customizations from backup
user_content = extract_user_customizations(backup)
# Get latest template defaults
template_defaults = get_current_templates()
# Merge with priority
merged = {
"template_structure": template_defaults, # Always latest
"user_config": user_content, # Preserved
"custom_content": user_content # Extracted
}
return merged
Details: See Template Optimizer for complete workflow and examples.
Pattern 4: Backup Discovery & Restoration
Concept: Automatic backup management with intelligent restoration.
Restoration Process:
def restore_from_backup(backup_id: str):
"""Restore project from specific backup."""
# Load backup metadata
backup = load_backup(backup_id)
# Validate backup integrity
if not validate_backup_integrity(backup):
raise BackupIntegrityError("Backup corrupted")
# Extract user customizations
customizations = extract_customizations(backup)
# Apply to current project
apply_customizations(customizations)
Details: See Template Optimizer - Backup Restoration for complete implementation.
Pattern 5: Template Version Management
Concept: Track template versions and maintain update history.
Version Tracking:
{
"template_optimization": {
"last_optimized": "2025-11-24T12:00:00Z",
"backup_version": "backup-2025-10-15-v0.27.0",
"template_version": "0.28.2",
"customizations_preserved": [
"language",
"team_settings",
"domains"
]
}
}
Details: See Template Optimizer - Version Tracking for complete implementation.

Best Practices
Core Requirements
- Use templates for consistent project structure
- Preserve user customizations during updates
- Create backups before major template changes
- Follow template structure conventions
- Document custom modifications
- Use smart merge for template updates
- Track template versions in config
- Test templates before production use
Quality Standards
[HARD] Document all template default modifications before applying changes. WHY: Template defaults serve as the baseline for all projects and undocumented changes create confusion and inconsistency across teams. IMPACT: Without documentation, teams cannot understand why defaults deviate from standards, leading to maintenance issues and conflicting implementations.
[HARD] Create backups before executing template optimization workflows. WHY: Template optimization involves structural changes that may be difficult to reverse without a clean restoration point. IMPACT: Missing backups can result in permanent loss of user customizations, requiring manual reconstruction of project-specific configurations.
[HARD] Resolve all merge conflicts during template update workflows. WHY: Unresolved conflicts create broken configurations that prevent proper template functionality. IMPACT: Ignored conflicts lead to runtime errors, inconsistent behavior, and project instability requiring emergency fixes.
[SOFT] Maintain consistent template pattern usage throughout the project. WHY: Mixing different template patterns creates cognitive overhead and makes the codebase harder to understand and maintain. IMPACT: Inconsistent patterns reduce code predictability and increase onboarding time for new team members.
[HARD] Preserve complete customization history across all template updates. WHY: Customization history provides an audit trail of project-specific decisions and enables rollback to previous states. IMPACT: Lost history makes it impossible to understand why changes were made, preventing informed decisions about future modifications.
[HARD] Validate template functionality through testing before production deployment. WHY: Untested templates may contain errors that only surface in production environments, causing system failures. IMPACT: Production failures from untested templates result in downtime, data issues, and emergency rollbacks affecting users.
[SOFT] Design templates within reasonable complexity limits for maintainability. WHY: Excessive template complexity makes them difficult to understand, modify, and debug when issues arise. IMPACT: Overly complex templates slow down development velocity and increase the likelihood of errors during customization.
[HARD] Track template versions using the built-in version management system. WHY: Version tracking enables understanding of template evolution, compatibility checking, and coordinated updates. IMPACT: Without version tracking, teams cannot determine which template features are available or coordinate updates across projects safely.
