Soleprint - Development Control Room
What Is This?
Soleprint is a development workflow platform - a self-contained environment where you can run, test, and document everything in isolation. Born from the friction of working on small teams where testing required PRs, documentation was scattered, and quick API connectors took too long to set up.
Core idea: BDD → Gherkin → Backend/Frontend Tests, with reusable connectors and tools that work across projects.
Name: Soleprint - "Cada paso deja huella" / "Each step leaves a mark"

The Three Systems
| System | Purpose | Tagline |
|---|---|---|
| Artery | Connectors to external services | Todo lo vital |
| Atlas | Actionable documentation | Mapeando el recorrido |
| Station | Tools, environments, execution | Centro de control |
Model Hierarchy
Shared: Room (configs), Depot (data)
System-specific: Vein (artery), Template (atlas), Tool (station)
Composed: Pulse (artery), Book (atlas), Desk (station)
Formulas:
- Pulse = Vein + Room + Depot
- Book = Template + Depot
- Desk = Cabinet + Room + Depots
Key Concepts
Rooms (Environments)
A Room is an environment with soleprint context, features, and conventions:
- Every room has a
ctrl/folder with commands that act only on that room - Tools are pluggable into any room
- Managed projects work with their own defaults (env vars set by mainroom ctrl for orchestration)
Mainroom
The mainroom orchestrates interaction between soleprint and managed rooms:
sbwrapper/- Sidebar UI overlay for any managed app (quick login, Jira info, etc.)link/- Adapters to connect soleprint to managed app data WITHOUT modifying eithersoleprint/- Docker configs + ctrl scripts for running soleprint servicesctrl/local/- Local deployment scripts (push.sh, deploy.sh)ctrl/server/- Server setup scripts
ctrl/- Mainroom-level orchestration commands
Soleprint can run without a managed room (for testing veins, etc.) but is always initiated from mainroom.
Hub vs Gen
hub/= Versioned base files (main.py, dataloader, index.html)gen/= Gitignored runnable instance with symlinks to hub/ + systemsgen/models/= Generated models (one-time per client, like an install)
Development: Edit in hub/, artery/, atlas/, station/, data/ → run from gen/ Production: Copy everything (resolve symlinks)
The Generator
Lives in station/tools/generator/. It:
- Reads
schema.json(source of truth) - Generates Pydantic models to
gen/models/ - Generation is one-time per client (like install)
- Runs standalone (no model dependencies) for bootstrap
Naming Flexibility
Code inside soleprint should NOT have imports too tied to system names. Display names are configurable. Future: swap entire naming domains without breaking functionality.
Development Workflow
Build Tool
The build script at spr root handles both development and deployment builds:
# From spr/
python build.py --help
python build.py dev # Build with symlinks
python build.py deploy --output /path/ # Build for production
python build.py models # Only regenerate models
Modelgen (Generic Tool)
Modelgen is a generic model generation tool in station/tools/modelgen/:
# Generate models from config
python -m station.tools.modelgen from-config --config config/soleprint.config.json --output gen/models/
# Future: extract models from codebases (for databrowse)
python -m station.tools.modelgen extract --source /path/to/django/project --output models/
Setting Up Dev Environment
cd spr/
python build.py dev # Creates gen/ with symlinks
cd gen/
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/python main.py # Hub on :12000
Building for Deployment
cd spr/
python build.py deploy --output ../deploy/soleprint/
# Then deploy:
rsync -av ../deploy/soleprint/ server:/app/soleprint/
ssh server 'cd /app/soleprint && ./run.sh'
# Or use mainroom ctrl scripts:
cd mainroom/soleprint/ctrl/local
./deploy.sh
Regenerating Models Only (rare)
cd spr/
python build.py models
Orchestrating with Managed Room
cd spr/mainroom/ctrl
./start.sh # Sets env vars, starts soleprint + link services
Worktrees
Feature development in: /home/mariano/wdir/wts/spr/<branch>
Planned:
databrowse- Data browser tool (separate CLAUDE.md)sbwrapper- Sidebar wrapper development

Current State
Done:
- Project structure finalized
- Schema.json in place
- Generator moved to station/tools/
- Hub/gen separation with symlinks
- Mainroom structure from core_nest
- Docker configs updated to soleprint naming
- Tools consolidated from pawprint
- Build tool with dev/deploy modes
- gen/ runs correctly
Next:
- Test mainroom/soleprint/ctrl scripts
- Test mainroom with managed room (amar)
- Worktree for databrowse (uses modelgen extract)
- Worktree for sbwrapper
