Summary

Converts the Ambient Code Reference Repository from an application-focused template to a documentation-only reference for AI-assisted development patterns.

Changes Made

Removed:

• ❌ FastAPI application code (app/ directory)
• ❌ Application tests (tests/ directory)
• ❌ Containerfile (application deployment)
• ❌ Application-specific dependencies (FastAPI, uvicorn, pydantic, pytest)

Updated:

• ✅ CLAUDE.md - Documentation-only focus with pattern references
• ✅ README.md - Documentation-only quickstart and usage
• ✅ pyproject.toml - Minimal linting dependencies only
• ✅ requirements.txt/requirements-dev.txt - Doc tooling only
• ✅ CI workflow - Documentation validation (markdown linting, Mermaid checking)
• ✅ Security workflow - Secrets detection in docs only

Retained:

• ✅ .claude/ - Codebase Agent patterns and configuration
• ✅ docs/ - Architecture, security, and testing pattern documentation
• ✅ scripts/ - Validation and setup scripts
• ✅ .github/workflows/ - Documentation-focused CI/CD

Repository Purpose (Updated)

The repository now serves as a pure reference for teams to:

• Learn AI-assisted development patterns
• Copy Codebase Agent configuration
• Reference architecture patterns
• Adapt security and testing patterns to their needs

Benefits

• Clearer focus - Documentation and patterns only
• Lower barrier to entry - No need to run an application
• Easier adoption - Copy patterns without application baggage
• Smaller repository - 30 fewer files, simpler structure

Test Plan

• Removed all application code successfully
• Updated all documentation to reflect new purpose
• CI workflows updated for documentation validation
• Repository structure simplified
