Code Improvement Proposals (CIPs)

This section contains Code Improvement Proposals (CIPs) that document major design decisions and planned improvements to the MLAI project.

What are CIPs?

CIPs (Code Improvement Proposals) are documents that describe proposed changes to the MLAI codebase. They serve as:

  • Documentation for design decisions and architectural changes

  • Project management tools to track implementation progress

  • Communication mechanisms for sharing ideas with collaborators

  • Historical records of why and how code evolved over time

CIP Process

  1. Create: New CIPs are created using the template in the cip/ directory

  2. Review: CIPs are shared and reviewed by the community

  3. Implementation: Once accepted, implementation begins with progress tracking

  4. Completion: CIPs are marked as completed when implementation is finished

Current Status

  • CIP-0001: Documentation Improvements with Sphinx (Proposed)

  • CIP-0002: Comprehensive Test Framework with pytest (Proposed)
