Code Review
This pull request effectively updates the documentation to reflect the strategic repositioning of the Aligna project towards human-AI collaborative communication excellence, psychological safety, and trust. The introduction of the PROJECT_ANALYSIS_2025.md provides a clear rationale and roadmap, and the updates to README.md and the new README_NEW.md successfully communicate this new focus. The removal of the outdated JavaScript guidelines is also appropriate given the project's new direction. Overall, the changes are well-structured and clearly articulate the project's value proposition within the broader AI ecosystem. Great work on this strategic update!
Summary of Findings
- Strategic Repositioning Clarity: The documentation clearly articulates the new focus on human-AI collaborative communication, psychological safety, and trust, differentiating Aligna from technical safety or instruction design frameworks.
- Project Analysis Document: The new
PROJECT_ANALYSIS_2025.mdprovides a comprehensive and well-structured analysis, strategic recommendations, and implementation roadmap. - README Updates: The
README.mdis successfully updated to reflect the new strategic direction and remove outdated content. - New Condensed README: The
README_NEW.mdserves as a useful condensed overview, pulling key information and linking to other resources. - Cross-Project Synergy: The relationship and complementary usage pattern with
guardrails-infoandai-instructionsare clearly defined. - Minor Phrasing/Flow (Not Commented): While reviewing, I looked for minor opportunities to improve phrasing or flow for maximum clarity in the new documentation. No issues meeting the 'medium' or higher severity threshold were found, so no specific comments were added per the review settings.

Hey @dmitriz - I've reviewed your changes - here's some feedback:
- The PR adds both README.md and README_NEW.md with overlapping content—consolidate into a single authoritative README to avoid confusion and duplication.
- PROJECT_ANALYSIS_2025.md is very long—consider moving it into a dedicated
docs/folder or summarizing its key points in the main README to keep the repo root concise. - All the high-level principles could benefit from a tiny concrete example (e.g., a short dialogue or code snippet) showing Aligna’s communication framework in action.
Here's what I looked at during the review
- 🟢 General issues: all looks good
- 🟢 Security: all looks good
- 🟢 Testing: all looks good
- 🟢 Documentation: all looks good
Help me be more useful! Please click 👍 or 👎 on each comment and I'll use the feedback to improve your reviews.
