2. Build System (scripts/build_cpp2py_pipeline.sh)

  • Automated environment setup with virtual environment creation
  • Dependency installation for both base and cognitive requirements
  • OpenCog integration validation with graceful fallback
  • Directory structure creation for organized development
  • Testing framework initialization

3. Testing Infrastructure (tests/integration/)

  • Phase-by-phase development workflow
  • Integration examples with existing PyCog-Zero tools
  • Troubleshooting and support information
  • API documentation for pipeline components

5. Setup Automation (scripts/setup_cpp2py_pipeline.py)

  • One-command setup for new developers
  • Interactive status reporting
  • Next-steps guidance for development workflow
