+# ADF CLI - Quality-Based Progress Tracking & Resume Capability
+
+**Date:** 2025-10-03
+**Status:** In Progress
+**Current Phase:** Option A - Core System Implementation
+
+---
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Building **@iservu-inc/adf-cli** - An AI-driven conversational requirements gathering CLI tool for software development projects.
+
+### Core Purpose
+
+Transform complex framework methodologies (PRP, BMAD, Spec-Kit, Context Engineering) into an intelligent interview system that:
+- Asks 4 initial discovery questions
+- Conducts AI-driven deep dive conversations
+- Measures **quality of information** rather than quantity of answers
+- Never loses user data (triple-redundant saves)
+- Supports resume capability for long interviews
+- Generates framework-specific outputs for AI agents
+- Integrates with IDE tools (Windsurf, Cursor, VS Code)
+
+### Three Framework Workflows
+
+1. **RAPID (PRP)**: Product Requirement Prompt - 5-15 min, 20 questions
+2. **BALANCED (PRP + Spec-Kit)**: Hybrid approach - 30-60 min, 50 questions
+3. **COMPREHENSIVE (BMAD)**: Full BMAD Framework - 1-2+ hours, 100+ questions
+
+---
+
+## User's Core Requirements
+
+### Critical Imperatives (Direct Quotes)
+
+> "Use your exceptional and powerful experience to integrate the best approach possible that will deliver a flawless user experience without errors or failing, and provide the user experience flexibility to ensure all of the users' effort doesn't ever go to waste because we failed to save his/her replies properly (imperative importance)."
+
+> "Don't focus so much on the specific number of questions but rather in the quality of the gathered information through user responses. A user might answer 3 questions so deeply and thoroughly that it generates equivalent information details to 20 questions answered by another user, so use the quality of answers as a gauge of progress rather than a set number of question that need to be answered."
+
+> "The tool integration is a critical component of this framework becoming a successful aid in project planning and development."
+
+### Key Paradigm Shifts
+
+1. **Quality over Quantity**: 3 thorough answers = 20 shallow answers
+2. **Information Richness**: Progress measured by depth, not count
+3. **Never Lose Data**: Triple-redundant saves with emergency fallbacks
+4. **Resume Anywhere**: Save/quit/resume exactly where user left off
+5. **Tool Integration**: Custom agents, rules, workflows for each IDE
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Option A: Core System (Current Phase)
+
+- [x] Build progress tracker with quality-based metrics
+- [x] Implement triple-redundant auto-save with fail-safes

+### File Structure
+
+```
+lib/
+├── commands/
+│   └── init.js              # Entry point with resume capability
+├── frameworks/
+│   ├── interviewer.js       # AI-driven conversational interview engine

+│   └── output-generators.js # Transform Q&A into framework docs
+└── utils/
+    └── project-detector.js  # Detect project type
+```
+
+### Data Persistence Strategy
+
+**Triple-Redundant Saves:**
+1. Main progress file: `_progress.json`
+2. Backup file: `_progress.backup.json`
+3. Append-only log: `_progress-log.md`
+4. Emergency fallback: `_emergency-{timestamp}.json` (if all else fails)
+
+**Auto-save triggers:**
+- After every answer
+- After block completion/skip
+- On user quit
+- On any major state change
+
+### Quality Scoring System
+
+**Metrics (0-100):**
+- Word count: up to 30 points (50+ words = max)
+- Keyword presence: up to 20 points
+- Required elements: up to 25 points (platform, tech, user interaction, etc.)
+- Detail level: up to 15 points (bullets, examples, multiple sentences)
+- Technical depth: up to 10 points (tech stack, versions, tools)
+
+**Thresholds:**
+- `qualityScore >= 70`: Comprehensive answer
+- `qualityScore >= 85`: Can skip follow-up questions
+
+**Information Richness:**
+```javascript
+informationRichness = (completionFactor * 0.4) + (qualityFactor * 0.6) * 100
+```
+Weighted toward quality (60%) over completion (40%)
+
+---
+
+## Current Work Session
+
+### Last Completed
+
+1. **progress-tracker.js**:
+   - Added quality metrics (informationRichness, averageAnswerQuality, comprehensiveAnswers)
+   - Implemented `saveWithBackup()` with triple saves + emergency fallback
+   - Updated `displayProgress()` to show richness instead of just counts
+   - Added framework parameter to constructor
+
+2. **answer-quality-analyzer.js**:
+   - Built complete quality scoring system
+   - Detects platform, technology, user interaction, problems, metrics, file paths, data structures, API endpoints
+   - Provides feedback messages based on quality
+
+3. **interviewer.js**:
+   - Integrated AnswerQualityAnalyzer
+   - Calls quality analysis after each answer
+   - Shows quality feedback to user
+   - Tracks answers with quality metrics via progressTracker
+   - Skips follow-ups if quality score >= 85
+   - Initialized progress tracker in start() method
+   - Track block start/complete/skip
+   - Re-analyze combined answers after follow-ups
+
+### Currently Working On
+
+**File:** `init.js`
+**Task:** Integrate resume capability
+
+**What I just did:**
+- Imported SessionManager
+- Added session resume check at the start of init()
+- If resumable session exists, prompt user to resume or start new
+- If resuming, pass existingSession to Interviewer constructor
+- Updated ProgressTracker to accept and store framework parameter
+
+**Next Steps:**
+1. Update interviewer.js to pass framework to ProgressTracker constructor
+2. Test complete flow: start → quit → resume
+3. Test quality-based progress display
+4. Test emergency save recovery

+
+---
+
+## Progress Tracking Examples
+
+### Old Approach (Question Count)
+```
+Progress: 3/20 questions answered (15%)
+```
+
+### New Approach (Information Richness)
+```
+📊 Information Richness: ✨ 75% | Avg Quality: 82%
+   Blocks: 2/5 (40%) | Questions: 3 | Words: 450
+```
+
+**Why this matters:** User gave 3 comprehensive answers worth more than 10 shallow answers.
+
+---
+
+## Error Recovery & Edge Cases
+
+### Scenarios to Handle
+
+1. **Application crash mid-answer**: Emergency save with timestamped file
+2. **Corrupted main progress file**: Load from backup
+3. **User force-quits**: Next run detects incomplete session, offers resume
+4. **Network/disk issues during save**: Try backup, then emergency file
+5. **User edits progress file manually**: Validate on load, warn if corrupted
+
+### Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Start interview → answer 3 questions → quit → resume → verify state
+- [ ] Force crash during answer → restart → verify recovery
+- [ ] Delete main progress file → verify backup loads
+- [ ] Answer with high quality (>85) → verify follow-up skipped
+- [ ] Answer with low quality (<50) → verify follow-up triggered
+- [ ] Complete full interview → verify all outputs generated
+- [ ] Multiple parallel sessions → verify isolation
+- [ ] Resume wrong session → verify correct context loaded

+
+## Known Issues & Fixes
+
+### v0.1.3 - v0.1.6
+
+1. **deployNow scope issue**: Variable declared in if-else block, referenced outside
+   - **Fix**: Declared in outer scope
+
+2. **Hardcoded version**: context.json showed "0.1.01" instead of package version
+   - **Fix**: Import package.json, use `packageJson.version`
+
+3. **Step numbering jump**: Showed 1, 2, 4 (missing 3)
+   - **Fix**: Conditional rendering based on deployment
+
+4. **Fundamental misunderstanding**: Built template copier instead of interview system
+   - **Fix**: Complete architectural redesign
+
+5. **Wrong framework understanding**: Generic requirements vs framework executor
+   - **Fix**: Studied actual framework repos, rebuilt question sets
