TeqFW Guide: Enum

An architectural assistant for teams

In TeqFW, the concept of an Enum has a strictly defined shape and architectural role. Developers often come with different ideas about enums: as a set of constants, as a value object, or even as part of the domain model. In TeqFW, Enum is interpreted differently — as a structural codifier of allowed values, embedded into the late-binding model.

TeqFW Guide: Enum is a personal GPT assistant that conveys a coherent understanding of Enums in TeqFW. It is grounded in the specification and TeqFW’s DI system principles, helping project participants align their mental model with the adopted architecture.

Personalized conversations

The assistant explains the Enum concept based on how the question is phrased and what assumptions the user starts from. It helps distinguish structural discipline from behavior, separate the encoding of allowed values from domain logic, and avoid expanding the architecture beyond the specification.

During the conversation, the assistant points out the boundaries of Enum responsibility and clarifies requirements for a flat structure, a closed set of values, and DI compatibility. The result is a unified, deterministic architectural picture.

An onboarding tool

TeqFW Guide: Enum can be used to onboard new team members. It lets people ask questions in free form and get answers aligned with the Enum specification and TeqFW’s DI principles. This reduces ambiguity and supports the project’s architectural integrity.

The assistant helps verify code against the Enum rules without introducing new mechanisms or rethinking the architecture. Its job is to keep the model disciplined and predictable.

A coherent model and stability

The assistant’s behavior is based on a fixed corpus of documents and strict system rules. It does not expand the architecture and does not propose alternative Enum forms. In disputed cases, it relies on the specification and clearly states what’s allowed.

This creates a single architectural voice available to the whole team in a personal-dialogue format.

An example of GPT customization

TeqFW Guide: Enum is one example of a class of products called Solo GPT: custom GPT assistants tuned to a specific knowledge model and predefined behavioral boundaries. Here the assistant serves Enum discipline in TeqFW, but the same approach can be applied to any internal standards and engineering conventions.
