23
+ # Warp Engineering Foundation
24
+
25
+ Universal principles for every agent in the Warp pipeline. Tier 1: highest authority.
26
+
27
+ ---
28
+
29
+ ## Core Principles
30
+
31
+ **Clarity over cleverness.** Optimize for "I can understand this in six months."
32
+
33
+ **Explicit contracts between layers.** Modules communicate through defined interfaces. Swap persistence without touching the service layer.
34
+
35
+ **Every component earns its place.** No speculative code. If a feature isn't in the current or next phase, it doesn't exist in code.
36
+
37
+ **Fail loud, recover gracefully.** Never swallow errors silently. User-facing experience degrades gracefully — stale-data indicator, not a crash.
38
+
39
+ **Prefer reversible decisions.** When two approaches are equivalent, choose the one that can be undone.
40
+
41
+ **Security is structural.** Designed for the most restrictive phase, enforced from the earliest.
42
+
43
+ **AI is a tool, not an authority.** AI agents accelerate development but do not make architectural decisions autonomously. Every significant design decision is reviewed by the user before it ships.
44
+
45
+ ---
46
+
47
+ ## Bias Classification
48
+
49
+ When the same AI system writes code, writes tests, and evaluates its own output, shared biases create blind spots.
50
+
51
+ | Level | Definition | Trust |
52
+ |-------|-----------|-------|
53
+ | **L1** | Deterministic. Binary pass/fail. Zero AI judgment. | Highest |
54
+ | **L2** | AI interpretation anchored to verifiable external source. | Medium |
55
+ | **L3** | AI evaluating AI. Both sides share training biases. | Lowest |
56
+
57
+ **L1 Imperative:** Every quality gate that CAN be L1 MUST be L1. L3 is the outer layer, never the only layer. When L1 is unavailable, use L2 (grounded in external docs). Fall back to L3 only when no external anchor exists.
58
+
59
+ ---
60
+
61
+ ## Completeness
62
+
63
+ AI compresses implementation 10-100x. Always choose the complete option. Full coverage, hardened behavior, robust edge cases. The delta between "good enough" and "complete" is minutes, not days.
64
+
65
+ Never recommend the less-complete option. Never skip edge cases. Never defer what can be done now.
66
+
67
+ ---
68
+
69
+ ## Quality Gates
70
+
71
+ **Hard Gate** — blocks progression. Between major phases. Present output, ask the user: A) Approve, B) Revise, C) Restart. MUST get user input.
72
+
73
+ **Soft Gate** — warns but allows. Between minor steps. Proceed if quality criteria met; warn and get input if not.
74
+
75
+ **Completeness Gate** — final check before artifact write. Verify no empty sections, key decisions explicit. Fix before writing.
76
+
77
+ ---
78
+
79
+ ## Escalation
80
+
81
+ Always OK to stop and escalate. Bad work is worse than no work.
82
+
83
+ **STOP if:** 3 failed attempts at the same problem, uncertain about security-sensitive changes, scope exceeds what you can verify, or a decision requires domain knowledge you don't have.
84
+
85
+ ---
86
+
87
+ ## External Data Gate
88
+
89
+ When a task requires real-world data or domain knowledge that cannot be derived from code, docs, or git history — PAUSE and ask the user. Never hallucinate fixtures or APIs. Check docs via Context7 or saved files before writing code that touches external services.
90
+
91
+ ---
92
+
93
+ ## Error Severity
94
+
95
+ | Tier | Definition | Response |
96
+ |------|-----------|----------|
97
+ | T1 | Normal variance (cache miss, retry succeeded) | Log, no action |
98
+ | T2 | Degraded capability (stale data served, fallback active) | Log, degrade visibly |
99
+ | T3 | Operation failed (invalid input, auth rejected) | Log, return error, continue |
100
+ | T4 | Subsystem non-functional (DB unreachable, corrupt state) | Log, halt subsystem, alert |
101
+
102
+ ---
103
+
104
+ ## Universal Engineering Principles
105
+
106
+ - Assert outcomes, not implementation. Test "input produces output" — not "function X calls Y."
107
+ - Each test is independent. No shared state or execution order dependencies.
108
+ - Mock at the system boundary, not internal helpers.
109
+ - Expected values are hardcoded from the spec, never recalculated using production logic.
110
+ - Every bug fix ships with a regression test.
111
+ - Every error has two audiences: the system (full diagnostics) and the consumer (only actionable info). Never the same message.
112
+ - Errors change shape at every module boundary. No error propagates without translation.
113
+ - Errors never reveal system internals to consumers. No stack traces, file paths, or queries in responses.
114
+ - Graceful degradation: live data → cached → static fallback → feature unavailable.
115
+ - Every input is hostile until validated.
116
+ - Default deny. Any permission not explicitly granted is denied.
117
+ - Secrets never logged, never in error messages, never in responses, never committed.
118
+ - Dependencies flow downward only. Never import from a layer above.
119
+ - Each external service has exactly one integration module that owns its boundary.
120
+ - Data crosses boundaries as plain values. Never pass ORM instances or SDK types between layers.
121
+ - ASCII diagrams for data flow, state machines, and architecture. Use box-drawing characters (─│┌┐└┘├┤┬┴┼) and arrows (→←↑↓).
122
+
123
+ ---
124
+
125
+ ## Shell Execution
126
+
127
+ Shell commands use Unix syntax (Git Bash). Never use CMD (`dir`, `type`, `del`) or backslash paths in Bash tool calls. On Windows, use forward slashes, `ls`, `grep`, `rm`, `cat`.
128
+
129
+ ---
130
+
131
+ ## AskUserQuestion
132
+
133
+ **Contract:**
134
+ 1. **Re-ground:** Project name, branch, current task. (1-2 sentences.)
135
+ 2. **Simplify:** Plain English a smart 16-year-old could follow.
136
+ 3. **Recommend:** Name the recommended option and why.
137
+ 4. **Options:** Ordered by completeness descending.
138
+ 5. **One decision per question.**
139
+
140
+ **When to ask (mandatory):**
141
+ 1. Design/UX choice not resolved in artifacts
142
+ 2. Trade-off with more than one viable option
143
+ 3. Before writing to files outside .warp/
144
+ 4. Deviating from architecture or design spec
145
+ 5. Skipping or deferring an acceptance criterion
146
+ 6. Before any destructive or irreversible action
147
+ 7. Ambiguous or underspecified requirement
148
+ 8. Choosing between competing library/tool options
149
+
150
+ **Completeness scores in labels (mandatory):**
151
+ Format: `"Option name — X/10 🟢"` (or 🟡 or 🔴). In the label, not the description.
152
+ Rate: 🟢 9-10 complete, 🟡 6-8 adequate, 🔴 1-5 shortcuts.
153
+
154
+ **Formatting:**
155
+ - *Italics* for emphasis, not **bold** (bold for headers only).
156
+ - After each answer: `✔ Decision {N} recorded [quicksave updated]`
157
+ - Previews under 8 lines. Full mockups go in conversation text before the question.
158
+
159
+ ---
160
+
161
+ ## Scale Detection
162
+
163
+ - **Feature:** One capability/screen/endpoint. Lean phases, fewer questions.
164
+ - **Module:** A package or subsystem. Full depth, multiple concerns.
165
+ - **System:** Whole product or greenfield. Maximum depth, every edge case.
166
+
167
+ Detection: Single behavior change → feature. 3+ files → module. Cross-package → system.
168
+

+ ## Artifact I/O
172
+
173
+ Header: `<!-- Pipeline: {skill-name} | {date} | Scale: {scale} | Inputs: {prerequisites} -->`
174
+
175
+ Validation: all schema sections present, no empty sections, key decisions explicit.
176
+ Preview: show first 8-10 lines + total line count before writing.
177
+ HTML preview: use `_warp_html.sh` if available. Open in browser at hard gates only.

+ # Upgrade
201
+
202
+ Meta skill. Upgrades WarpOS from inside Claude Code — no terminal switching.
203
+
204
+ **The upgrade is ONE COMMAND.** Do not decompose into manual steps. The upgrade
205
+ script handles pull, build, install, auto-patch, changelog, and migration detection.
206
+
207
+ ---
208
+
209
+ ## STEP 1: Locate the WarpOS Repo
210
+
211
+ ```bash
212
+ WARP_REPO=""
213
+ for candidate in \
214
+ "$(cat "$HOME/.warp/repo-path" 2>/dev/null)" \
215
+ "$(readlink -f ~/.claude/skills/warp-setup 2>/dev/null)/../../../.." \
216
+ "$(dirname "$(readlink -f ~/.warp/hooks/identity-briefing.sh 2>/dev/null)")/../.." \
217
+ "$HOME/Projects/warp" \
218
+ "$HOME/warp" \
219
+ ; do
220
+ [ -z "$candidate" ] && continue
221
+ if [ -d "$candidate/.git" ] && [ -f "$candidate/VERSION" ] && [ -f "$candidate/build.sh" ]; then
222
+ WARP_REPO="$(cd "$candidate" && pwd)"
223
+ break
224
+ fi
225
+ done
226
+ echo "Warp repo: ${WARP_REPO:-NOT FOUND}"
227
+ ```
228
+
229
+ If not found, ask the user for the path.
230
+
231
+ ---
232
+
233
+ ## STEP 2: Run the Upgrade Script
234
+
235
+ **Run `bin/warp-upgrade.sh` as a single command. Do NOT decompose into manual steps.**
236
+
237
+ The script handles everything: fetch, version check, pull, build, install, auto-patch
238
+ project hooks, changelog display, migration detection, and restart recommendation.
239
+
240
+ ```bash
241
+ cd "$WARP_REPO" && bash bin/warp-upgrade.sh
242
+ ```
243
+
244
+ **IMPORTANT — Timeout:** On Windows (Git Bash), build + install can take 2-4 minutes.
245
+ Use a Bash timeout of at least 300000ms (5 minutes). If the default timeout is shorter,
246
+ set it explicitly. A timed-out upgrade leaves a half-installed state.
247
+
248
+ **If the script succeeds:** Read its output, summarize what changed, and remind the user
249
+ to restart Claude Code.
250
+
251
+ **If the script fails:** Read the error output. Common failures:
252
+ - Network error on git pull → "Check your connection and try again"
253
+ - Build error → "build.sh failed — check the error above"
254
+ - Install error (Windows file locks) → "Close other Claude Code instances and retry"
255
+ - Git conflicts → "Your local Warp repo has changes. Run `git stash` first."
256
+
257
+ Only if the script itself is missing or broken should you fall back to manual steps.
258
+
259
+ ---
260
+
261
+ ## STEP 3: Verify Auto-Patch (if script completed)
262
+
263
+ The upgrade script auto-patches `.claude/settings.local.json` in the current project
264
+ directory with the latest hook config from `~/.warp/project-hooks.json`.
265
+
266
+ Verify the patch applied:
267
+
268
+ ```bash
269
+ # Check that settings.local.json references new hook names
270
+ grep -c 'identity-foundation\|identity-briefing\|consistency-check' .claude/settings.local.json 2>/dev/null && echo "hooks patched" || echo "hooks NOT patched"
271
+ ```
272
+
273
+ If NOT patched (script ran from a different directory, or no settings.local.json):
274
+ - If `settings.local.json` exists but has old hook names → patch it manually using
275
+ `~/.warp/project-hooks.json` as the source. Preserve `permissions` and `enabledMcpjsonServers`.
276
+ - If no `settings.local.json` → tell user to run `/warp-setup` (first-time setup, not upgrade).
277
+
278
+ ---
279
+
280
+ ## FALLBACK: Manual Steps (only if warp-upgrade.sh is missing/broken)
281
+
282
+ If `bin/warp-upgrade.sh` does not exist or crashes on invocation, fall back to manual:
283
+
284
+ ```bash
285
+ cd "$WARP_REPO"
286
+ git fetch origin --quiet
287
+ git pull --rebase origin master
288
+ bash build.sh
289
+ bash install.sh
290
+ cat CHANGELOG.md | head -60
291
+ ```
292
+
293
+ Then manually patch project hooks:
294
+ ```bash
295
+ # Read template and patch settings.local.json
296
+ python3 -c "
297
+ import json
298
+ t = json.load(open('$HOME/.warp/project-hooks.json'))
299
+ s = json.load(open('.claude/settings.local.json'))
300
+ s['agent'] = t['agent']
301
+ s['hooks'] = t['hooks']
302
+ json.dump(s, open('.claude/settings.local.json','w'), indent=2)
303
+ print('Patched.')
304
+ "
305
+ ```
306
+
307
+ **This fallback exists for emergencies only.** The script is the primary path.
308
+

330
+
331
+ ## MUST / MUST NOT
332
+
333
+ **MUST:**
334
+ - Run `bin/warp-upgrade.sh` as a single command (not decomposed steps)
335
+ - Use a 5-minute timeout for the upgrade script on Windows
336
+ - Verify hooks auto-patched after script completes
337
+ - Show changelog summary
338
+ - Remind user to restart Claude Code
339
+
340
+ **MUST NOT:**
341
+ - Decompose the upgrade into individual git/build/install commands when the script works
342
+ - Use default Bash timeout (2 minutes is too short on Windows)
343
+ - Proceed to install if build fails
344
+ - Require the user to re-run `/warp-setup` after a normal upgrade
345
+ - Force-push, reset, or destructively modify the Warp repo without consent

6
+ # Warp Engineering Foundation
7
+
8
+ Universal principles for every agent in the Warp pipeline. Tier 1: highest authority.
9
+
10
+ ---
11
+
12
+ ## Core Principles
13
+
14
+ **Clarity over cleverness.** Optimize for "I can understand this in six months."
15
+
16
+ **Explicit contracts between layers.** Modules communicate through defined interfaces. Swap persistence without touching the service layer.
17
+
18
+ **Every component earns its place.** No speculative code. If a feature isn't in the current or next phase, it doesn't exist in code.
19
+
20
+ **Fail loud, recover gracefully.** Never swallow errors silently. User-facing experience degrades gracefully — stale-data indicator, not a crash.
21
+
22
+ **Prefer reversible decisions.** When two approaches are equivalent, choose the one that can be undone.
23
+
24
+ **Security is structural.** Designed for the most restrictive phase, enforced from the earliest.
25
+
26
+ **AI is a tool, not an authority.** AI agents accelerate development but do not make architectural decisions autonomously. Every significant design decision is reviewed by the user before it ships.
27
+
28
+ ---
29
+
30
+ ## Bias Classification
31
+
32
+ When the same AI system writes code, writes tests, and evaluates its own output, shared biases create blind spots.
33
+
34
+ | Level | Definition | Trust |
35
+ |-------|-----------|-------|
36
+ | **L1** | Deterministic. Binary pass/fail. Zero AI judgment. | Highest |
37
+ | **L2** | AI interpretation anchored to verifiable external source. | Medium |
38
+ | **L3** | AI evaluating AI. Both sides share training biases. | Lowest |
39
+
40
+ **L1 Imperative:** Every quality gate that CAN be L1 MUST be L1. L3 is the outer layer, never the only layer. When L1 is unavailable, use L2 (grounded in external docs). Fall back to L3 only when no external anchor exists.
41
+
42
+ ---
43
+
44
+ ## Completeness
45
+
46
+ AI compresses implementation 10-100x. Always choose the complete option. Full coverage, hardened behavior, robust edge cases. The delta between "good enough" and "complete" is minutes, not days.
47
+
48
+ Never recommend the less-complete option. Never skip edge cases. Never defer what can be done now.
49
+
50
+ ---
51
+
52
+ ## Quality Gates
53
+
54
+ **Hard Gate** — blocks progression. Between major phases. Present output, ask the user: A) Approve, B) Revise, C) Restart. MUST get user input.
55
+
56
+ **Soft Gate** — warns but allows. Between minor steps. Proceed if quality criteria met; warn and get input if not.
57
+
58
+ **Completeness Gate** — final check before artifact write. Verify no empty sections, key decisions explicit. Fix before writing.
59
+
60
+ ---
61
+
62
+ ## Escalation
63
+
64
+ Always OK to stop and escalate. Bad work is worse than no work.
65
+
66
+ **STOP if:** 3 failed attempts at the same problem, uncertain about security-sensitive changes, scope exceeds what you can verify, or a decision requires domain knowledge you don't have.
67
+
68
+ ---
69
+
70
+ ## External Data Gate
71
+
72
+ When a task requires real-world data or domain knowledge that cannot be derived from code, docs, or git history — PAUSE and ask the user. Never hallucinate fixtures or APIs. Check docs via Context7 or saved files before writing code that touches external services.
73
+
74
+ ---
75
+
76
+ ## Error Severity
77
+
78
+ | Tier | Definition | Response |
79
+ |------|-----------|----------|
80
+ | T1 | Normal variance (cache miss, retry succeeded) | Log, no action |
81
+ | T2 | Degraded capability (stale data served, fallback active) | Log, degrade visibly |
82
+ | T3 | Operation failed (invalid input, auth rejected) | Log, return error, continue |
83
+ | T4 | Subsystem non-functional (DB unreachable, corrupt state) | Log, halt subsystem, alert |
84
+

86
+
87
+ ## Universal Engineering Principles
88
+
89
+ - Assert outcomes, not implementation. Test "input produces output" — not "function X calls Y."
90
+ - Each test is independent. No shared state or execution order dependencies.
91
+ - Mock at the system boundary, not internal helpers.
92
+ - Expected values are hardcoded from the spec, never recalculated using production logic.
93
+ - Every bug fix ships with a regression test.
94
+ - Every error has two audiences: the system (full diagnostics) and the consumer (only actionable info). Never the same message.
95
+ - Errors change shape at every module boundary. No error propagates without translation.
96
+ - Errors never reveal system internals to consumers. No stack traces, file paths, or queries in responses.
97
+ - Graceful degradation: live data → cached → static fallback → feature unavailable.
98
+ - Every input is hostile until validated.
99
+ - Default deny. Any permission not explicitly granted is denied.
100
+ - Secrets never logged, never in error messages, never in responses, never committed.
101
+ - Dependencies flow downward only. Never import from a layer above.
102
+ - Each external service has exactly one integration module that owns its boundary.
103
+ - Data crosses boundaries as plain values. Never pass ORM instances or SDK types between layers.
104
+ - ASCII diagrams for data flow, state machines, and architecture. Use box-drawing characters (─│┌┐└┘├┤┬┴┼) and arrows (→←↑↓).
105
+
106
+ ---
107
+
108
+ ## Shell Execution
109
+
110
+ Shell commands use Unix syntax (Git Bash). Never use CMD (`dir`, `type`, `del`) or backslash paths in Bash tool calls. On Windows, use forward slashes, `ls`, `grep`, `rm`, `cat`.
111
+
112

113
+
114
+ ## AskUserQuestion
115
+
116
+ **Contract:**
117
+ 1. **Re-ground:** Project name, branch, current task. (1-2 sentences.)
118
+ 2. **Simplify:** Plain English a smart 16-year-old could follow.
119
+ 3. **Recommend:** Name the recommended option and why.
120
+ 4. **Options:** Ordered by completeness descending.
121
+ 5. **One decision per question.**
122
+
123
+ **When to ask (mandatory):**
124
+ 1. Design/UX choice not resolved in artifacts
125
+ 2. Trade-off with more than one viable option
126
+ 3. Before writing to files outside .warp/
127
+ 4. Deviating from architecture or design spec
128
+ 5. Skipping or deferring an acceptance criterion
129
+ 6. Before any destructive or irreversible action
130
+ 7. Ambiguous or underspecified requirement
131
+ 8. Choosing between competing library/tool options
132
+
133
+ **Completeness scores in labels (mandatory):**
134
+ Format: `"Option name — X/10 🟢"` (or 🟡 or 🔴). In the label, not the description.
135
+ Rate: 🟢 9-10 complete, 🟡 6-8 adequate, 🔴 1-5 shortcuts.
136
+
137
+ **Formatting:**
138
+ - *Italics* for emphasis, not **bold** (bold for headers only).
139
+ - After each answer: `✔ Decision {N} recorded [quicksave updated]`
140
+ - Previews under 8 lines. Full mockups go in conversation text before the question.
141
+
142
+ ---
143
+
144
+ ## Scale Detection
145
+
146
+ - **Feature:** One capability/screen/endpoint. Lean phases, fewer questions.
147
+ - **Module:** A package or subsystem. Full depth, multiple concerns.
148
+ - **System:** Whole product or greenfield. Maximum depth, every edge case.
149
+
150
+ Detection: Single behavior change → feature. 3+ files → module. Cross-package → system.

156
+ Header: `<!-- Pipeline: {skill-name} | {date} | Scale: {scale} | Inputs: {prerequisites} -->`
157
+
158
+ Validation: all schema sections present, no empty sections, key decisions explicit.
159
+ Preview: show first 8-10 lines + total line count before writing.
160
+ HTML preview: use `_warp_html.sh` if available. Open in browser at hard gates only.
