- # Agent Rules — {product}
2
-
3
- <!-- BEGIN:wdi-method -->
4
- This repo uses **WDI Method**. It wraps BMad; it does not replace it. This marked
5
- block is owned by the WDI Method package and is **replaced on every update**.
6
- Product rules belong **outside** it (extra boundaries, `## Code`, stack notes).
7
- A fact written inside this block will be overwritten.
8
-
9
- Product identity lives in `.control/registry/index.yaml` (`product.name`, optional
10
- `product.client`). G1 confirms it. This file MUST NOT become a second source of the name.
11
-
12
- ## Install and update
13
-
14
- BMad first, then WDI Method. In the product repo:
15
-
16
- ```bash
17
- npx bmad-method install
18
- npx wdi-method
19
- ```
20
-
21
- No subcommand opens the installer TUI. It detects an existing install and offers
22
- **update**. Non-interactive:
23
-
24
- ```bash
25
- npx wdi-method install --yes
26
- npx wdi-method update --yes
27
- ```
28
-
29
- BMad: https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD
30
- WDI Method: https://github.com/wiradigitalid/wdi-method
31
-
32
- A method file MUST NOT be invented here. If a rule is wrong, fix it in the WDI
33
- Method package, then update.
34
-
35
- This file is loaded every session; everything else is loaded **lazily**, only when
36
- the task matches.
37
-
38
- ## Language
39
-
40
- **Two settings decide this, and they live in `.control/registry/index.yaml` under `policy:`.** Both are
41
- free text and both default to English:
42
-
43
- | Setting | Governs |
44
- |---|---|
45
- | `doc_language` | The prose of working documents in `.what/` · `.how/` · `.control/` |
46
- | `doc_filename_language` | The slug part of a document filename |
47
-
48
- Read those two before writing a document. A technical term the industry writes in English MUST be left in
49
- English whatever the setting says — an equivalent MUST NOT be invented for it.
50
-
51
- **These files are always English, whatever the settings say:** `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, and everything
52
- under `.constitution/`. They are agent instructions, and they travel to every repo through the
53
- `wdi-method` package. The one exception is `.constitution/project/`, which is this product's own room.
54
-
55
- **Always English and never a setting**, because a script matches them:
56
-
57
- - method terminology — `DEC` `SRS` `SDD` `UC` `FR` `AD`, the gate names, the values of `mode` and
58
- `risk_accepted`
59
- - document code prefixes — `UC-` `DEC-` `SRS-`; only the slug after them follows `doc_filename_language`
60
- - markers — `[NEEDS CONFIRMATION]` `[MISSING]` `[ASSUMED]` `[PARTIAL]`, and `yes`/`no` in a `critical`
61
- column
62
- - registry values — `mode: catalog`, `status: applied`, `risk_accepted: low`. Used as written in prose
63
- too: one thing, one name
64
- - code identifiers, database columns, config keys — `language-guide.md` owns these
65
-
66
- **A corpus written before these settings existed MUST NOT be migrated for them.** The readers accept more
67
- than one language, so existing documents keep working and only new writing follows the setting.
68
-
69
- ## The thing in your hand → its folder
70
-
71
- Read this instead of reasoning about what `.what/` and `.how/` mean.
72
-
73
- | The thing in your hand | Its folder |
74
- |---|---|
75
- | A rule, a guide, a template — how we work | `.constitution/method/` — **overwritten in full by `update`** |
76
- | A rule that binds **only this product** | `.constitution/project/` — `update` never writes over it, `promote` never publishes it |
77
- | The explanation of a rule, never a rule itself | `.constitution/method/why/` |
78
- | A decision, an open question, a registry, a structure map, minutes | `.control/` |
79
- | The brief, a PRD, a use case, a business rule — what is promised | `.what/` |
80
- | The spine, C4, an inventory, an SDD, a contract — how it is built | `.how/` |
81
- | A skill run's working output, and documents that predate the method | `_bmad-output/` |
82
- | Scratch that empties when the task closes | `.work/` |
83
- | The application | named under `## Code` below |
84
-
85
- ## Layer boundaries
86
-
87
- | Layer | Answers | MUST NOT hold |
88
- |---|---|---|
89
- | `.constitution/` | How we work | State, decisions, product content |
90
- | `.control/` | What currently holds and what has been decided | Rules |
91
- | `.what/` | What is promised | Solution shape — tables, endpoints, technology |
92
- | `.how/` | How it is built | Promises to the user |
93
- | `_bmad-output/` | Work in progress; committed, not curated | Anything still correct after its wave has passed |
94
- | `.work/` | Scratch; emptied when a task closes | Secrets, commercial figures, anything meant as authority |
95
-
96
- The placement test: **is this file still correct after its wave has passed?** Yes → the corpus. No →
97
- `_bmad-output/`. In doubt → `.constitution/method/document/corpus-guide.md`.
98
-
99
- The method does not use a `docs/` layer for corpus or rules. A leftover `docs/` folder is inventory
100
- to sort, not a second home.
101
-
102
- ## Depth and review intensity — two fields, never merged
103
-
104
- | Field | Where | Controls |
105
- |---|---|---|
106
- | `mode` | `index.yaml` globally, `components.yaml` per component | **Document depth**, and only that. `catalog` · `outline` · `guarded` · `deep`; default `catalog` |
107
- | `risk_accepted` | `components.yaml` per component | **Review intensity**, and only that. `low` · `medium` · `high` |
108
-
109
- Per-component `mode` wins over global, and there is no third scope — `mode` MUST NOT be overridden per
110
- wave or per `SPEC.md`. A component at `mode: catalog` **skips G4 entirely**. Neither field MUST be
111
- derived from the other: one component MAY be thin on purpose and reviewed the hardest.
112
- `.constitution/method/document/delivery-flow-guide.md` owns both;
113
- `.constitution/method/why/rationale.md` says why they are separate.
114
-
115
- ## The five gates and the sixteen skills
116
-
117
- | Gate | Decides | Skill |
118
- |---|---|---|
119
- | **G1 Problem** | What the problem is, whose it is, why it earns work | `wdi-problem` |
120
- | **G2 Product** | What is built, and how it feels to use | `wdi-product` · optional `wdi-ux` |
121
- | **G3 Blueprint** | The whole portrait, once per product | `wdi-blueprint` |
122
- | **G4 Component** | How one component is built — **skipped at `catalog`** | `wdi-component` |
123
- | **G5 Release** | Whether it is done and proven | `wdi-build` |
124
-
125
- Before G1 and at the tail of G2: `wdi-init`, five intents — `setup` · `component` · `mode` · `risk` ·
126
- `structure`.
127
-
128
- Any time: `wdi-decision` · `wdi-question` · `wdi-log` · `wdi-help` · `wdi-reconcile` · `wdi-review` ·
129
- `wdi-report` · `wdi-systematic-debugging`.
130
-
131
- **No BMad skill is invoked directly.** Each has a wrapper, and the wrapper is what checks position,
132
- verifies the result, and lands the memlog.
133
-
134
- ## What MUST NOT be done
135
-
136
- - A method file MUST NOT be invented or patched here to improve the method. If a rule is wrong, it is
137
- fixed in the WDI Method package, then brought here with `npx wdi-method update`.
138
- - A file in `_bmad-output/prior-knowledge/` MUST NOT be copied into `.what/` or `.how/`. It enters
139
- the corpus only through the skill that owns the slot.
140
- - `.control/generated/`, `.what-rendered/`, and `.how-rendered/` MUST NOT be written by hand they are the output of `validate.py` and
141
- `timeline.py`.
142
- - The two structure maps in `.control/` MUST NOT be edited by hand — `wdi-init` intent `structure`
143
- re-derives them.
144
- - A `DEC-` with status `applied` MUST NOT be edited, except to record its supersession — status moves
145
- to `superseded` and names its replacement. A change of mind produces a new `DEC-`.
146
- - A file in `.constitution/method/why/` MUST NOT be cited as the reason to reject a change. It is
147
- `status: Reference` it explains, it does not bind, and where it disagrees with a guide the guide
148
- wins and the disagreement is a defect. This covers `why/` ONLY: a guide in
149
- `.constitution/method/document/` is `status: Accepted` and it binds.
150
- - More than the component's `mode` demands MUST NOT be written. Exceeding the depth the owner set is
151
- not diligence.
152
- - `.claude/skills/bmad-*/customize.toml` MUST NOT be edited it is overwritten on every BMad update;
153
- customise through `_bmad/custom/`.
154
-
155
- ## Routingload a guide when the task matches
156
-
157
- | Task | Load |
158
- |---|---|
159
- | Wanting the whole method in five minutes | `.constitution/method/why/README.md` |
160
- | About to change a rule, and needing to know what breaks | `.constitution/method/why/rationale.md` |
161
- | Asking whether a document exists at this `mode`, or where a file goes | `.constitution/method/why/artifact-map.md` |
162
- | Unsure whether a file may exist in this repo | `.constitution/method/repo-guide.md` |
163
- | Unsure where a file lives | `.constitution/method/document/corpus-guide.md` |
164
- | Unsure what a method term means | `.constitution/method/method-glossary.md` |
165
- | Unsure about a domain term | `.control/product-glossary.md` |
166
- | Looking for a non-technical fact — a domain, an account, a legal entity, a locked date | `.control/project-non-technical-log.md` |
167
- | Naming anything a code identifier, a file, a database column | `.constitution/method/language-guide.md` |
168
- | Asking "which gate now, what next" | `.constitution/method/document/delivery-flow-guide.md` · skill `wdi-help` |
169
- | Setting or changing `mode` or `risk_accepted` | `.constitution/method/document/delivery-flow-guide.md` · skill `wdi-init` |
170
- | Invoking a BMad skill | `.constitution/method/document/bmad-guide.md` · `.constitution/method/document/bmad-skill-register.md` |
171
- | Writing or reviewing a product brief | `.constitution/method/document/brief-guide.md` |
172
- | Writing or reviewing a PRD | `.constitution/method/document/prd-guide.md` |
173
- | Writing or reviewing UX | `.constitution/method/document/ux-guide.md` |
174
- | Writing or reviewing an SRS | `.constitution/method/document/srs-guide.md` |
175
- | Writing or reviewing an SDD | `.constitution/method/document/sdd-guide.md` |
176
- | Writing the spine, an `AD-N`, C4, or one of the three inventories | `.constitution/method/document/architecture-guide.md` |
177
- | Opening, accepting, or applying a `DEC-` | `.constitution/method/document/decision-guide.md` |
178
- | Writing or reading a structure map | `.constitution/method/structure-guide.md` |
179
- | Looking for where code lives, or placing new code | `.control/structure-codebase.md` |
180
- | Looking for where a document lives | `.control/structure-document.md` |
181
- | Writing or reviewing code | `.constitution/project/codebase-stack-guide.md` · `.constitution/project/codebase-conventions-guide.md` · `.constitution/project/codebase-brownfield-guide.md` |
182
-
183
- All three `.constitution/project/codebase-*-guide.md` start as `status: Draft`. While they are, their contents MAY be read
184
- as guidance but MUST NOT be used to reject a change.
185
-
186
- The two structure maps MUST NOT be installed as `doc_standards` they are facts, not standards. Nor
187
- MUST anything in `.constitution/method/why/`; `status: Reference` forbids it. A guide in
188
- `.constitution/method/document/` MAY be installed that way, and several already are — see
189
- `_bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml`.
190
-
191
- ## Bugs, decisions, questions
192
-
193
- - A bug, a failing test, or unexpected behaviour skill `wdi-systematic-debugging`, **before** any
194
- fix is proposed.
195
- - A decision worth remembering → skill `wdi-decision` → `.control/decisions/`. Recording is **not
196
- mandatory**: if the answer to *why is it like this* is readable from the code, it MUST NOT be
197
- recorded. One case is mandatory — contradicting an `AD-N`.
198
- - Something that cannot be decided now → skill `wdi-question` `.control/questions/`. The default
199
- class is `assumptions.md`, not `blocking.md`; filing something as blocking "to be safe" is the
200
- habit that produced unreadable question lists.
201
- - A non-technical fact that constrains the build skill `wdi-log` intent `fact`
202
- `.control/project-non-technical-log.md`.
203
-
204
- ## Method policy
205
-
206
- - A skill MUST NOT be invoked automatically. Name the one that fits and wait for the owner's
207
- go-ahead — this holds even when the skill's own description says it must be used. Reading a
208
- skill as reference is fine.
209
- - `.work/` is not production code. It MUST NOT be imported by the application, and MUST be
210
- excluded when searching for code.
211
- <!-- END:wdi-method -->
212
-
213
- ## Code
214
-
215
- Rewrite this section for the product. Stack, how to run tests, and known pitfalls belong here.
216
- `wdi-init` intent `structure` derives `.control/structure-codebase.md`; do not duplicate that map.
1
+ # Agent Rules — {product}
2
+
3
+ <!-- BEGIN:wdi-method -->
4
+ This repo uses **WDI Method**. It wraps BMad; it does not replace it. This marked
5
+ block is owned by the WDI Method package and is **replaced on every update**.
6
+ Product rules belong **outside** it (extra boundaries, `## Code`, stack notes).
7
+ A fact written inside this block will be overwritten.
8
+
9
+ Product identity lives in `.control/registry/index.yaml` (`product.name`, optional
10
+ `product.client`). G1 confirms it. This file MUST NOT become a second source of the name.
11
+
12
+ ## Install and update
13
+
14
+ BMad first, then WDI Method. In the product repo:
15
+
16
+ ```bash
17
+ npx bmad-method install
18
+ npx wdi-method
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ No subcommand opens the installer TUI. It detects an existing install and offers
22
+ **update**. Non-interactive:
23
+
24
+ ```bash
25
+ npx wdi-method install --yes
26
+ npx wdi-method update --yes
27
+ ```
28
+
29
+ BMad: https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD
30
+ WDI Method: https://github.com/wiradigitalid/wdi-method
31
+
32
+ A method file MUST NOT be invented here. If a rule is wrong, fix it in the WDI
33
+ Method package, then update.
34
+
35
+ This file is loaded every session; everything else is loaded **lazily**, only when
36
+ the task matches.
37
+
38
+ ## Language
39
+
40
+ **Two settings decide this, and they live in `.control/registry/index.yaml` under `policy:`.** Both are
41
+ free text and both default to English:
42
+
43
+ | Setting | Governs |
44
+ |---|---|
45
+ | `doc_language` | The prose of working documents in `.what/` · `.how/` · `.control/` |
46
+ | `doc_filename_language` | The slug part of a document filename |
47
+
48
+ Read those two before writing a document. A technical term the industry writes in English MUST be left in
49
+ English whatever the setting says — an equivalent MUST NOT be invented for it.
50
+
51
+ **These files are always English, whatever the settings say:** `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, and everything
52
+ under `.constitution/`. They are agent instructions, and they travel to every repo through the
53
+ `wdi-method` package. The one exception is `.constitution/project/`, which is this product's own room.
54
+
55
+ **Always English and never a setting**, because a script matches them:
56
+
57
+ - method terminology — `DEC` `SRS` `SDD` `UC` `FR` `AD`, the gate names, the values of `mode` and
58
+ `risk_accepted`
59
+ - document code prefixes — `UC-` `DEC-` `SRS-`; only the slug after them follows `doc_filename_language`
60
+ - markers — `[NEEDS CONFIRMATION]` `[MISSING]` `[ASSUMED]` `[PARTIAL]`, and `yes`/`no` in a `critical`
61
+ column
62
+ - registry values — `mode: catalog`, `status: applied`, `risk_accepted: low`. Used as written in prose
63
+ too: one thing, one name
64
+ - code identifiers, database columns, config keys — `language-guide.md` owns these
65
+
66
+ **A corpus written before these settings existed MUST NOT be migrated for them.** The readers accept more
67
+ than one language, so existing documents keep working and only new writing follows the setting.
68
+
69
+ ## The thing in your hand → its folder
70
+
71
+ Read this instead of reasoning about what `.what/` and `.how/` mean.
72
+
73
+ | The thing in your hand | Its folder |
74
+ |---|---|
75
+ | A rule, a guide, a template — how we work | `.constitution/method/` — **overwritten in full by `update`** |
76
+ | A rule that binds **only this product** | `.constitution/project/` — `update` never writes over it, `promote` never publishes it |
77
+ | The explanation of a rule, never a rule itself | `.constitution/method/why/` |
78
+ | A decision, an open question, a registry, a structure map, minutes | `.control/` |
79
+ | The brief, a PRD, a use case, a business rule — what is promised | `.what/` |
80
+ | The spine, C4, an inventory, an SDD, a contract — how it is built | `.how/` |
81
+ | A skill run's working output, and documents that predate the method | `_bmad-output/` |
82
+ | Scratch that empties when the task closes | `.work/` |
83
+ | The application | named under `## Code` below |
84
+
85
+ ## Layer boundaries
86
+
87
+ | Layer | Answers | MUST NOT hold |
88
+ |---|---|---|
89
+ | `.constitution/` | How we work | State, decisions, product content |
90
+ | `.control/` | What currently holds and what has been decided | Rules |
91
+ | `.what/` | What is promised | Solution shape — tables, endpoints, technology |
92
+ | `.how/` | How it is built | Promises to the user |
93
+ | `_bmad-output/` | Work in progress; committed, not curated | Anything still correct after its wave has passed |
94
+ | `.work/` | Scratch; emptied when a task closes | Secrets, commercial figures, anything meant as authority |
95
+
96
+ The placement test: **is this file still correct after its wave has passed?** Yes → the corpus. No →
97
+ `_bmad-output/`. In doubt → `.constitution/method/document/corpus-guide.md`.
98
+
99
+ The method does not use a `docs/` layer for corpus or rules. A leftover `docs/` folder is inventory
100
+ to sort, not a second home.
101
+
102
+ ## Depth and review intensity — two fields, never merged
103
+
104
+ | Field | Where | Controls |
105
+ |---|---|---|
106
+ | `mode` | `index.yaml` globally, `components.yaml` per component | **Document depth**, and only that. `catalog` · `outline` · `guarded` · `deep`; default `catalog` |
107
+ | `risk_accepted` | `components.yaml` per component | **Review intensity**, and only that. `low` · `medium` · `high` |
108
+
109
+ Per-component `mode` wins over global, and there is no third scope — `mode` MUST NOT be overridden per
110
+ wave or per `SPEC.md`. A component at `mode: catalog` **skips G4 entirely**. Neither field MUST be
111
+ derived from the other: one component MAY be thin on purpose and reviewed the hardest.
112
+ `.constitution/method/document/delivery-flow-guide.md` owns both;
113
+ `.constitution/method/why/rationale.md` says why they are separate.
114
+
115
+ ## The five gates and the eighteen skills
116
+
117
+ | Gate | Decides | Skill |
118
+ |---|---|---|
119
+ | **G1 Problem** | What the problem is, whose it is, why it earns work | `wdi-problem` |
120
+ | **G2 Product** | What is built, and how it feels to use | `wdi-product` · optional `wdi-ux` |
121
+ | **G3 Blueprint** | The whole portrait, once per product | `wdi-blueprint` |
122
+ | **G4 Component** | How one component is built — **skipped at `catalog`** | `wdi-component` |
123
+ | **G5 Release** | Whether it is done and proven | `wdi-build` |
124
+
125
+ Before G1 and at the tail of G2: `wdi-init`, five intents — `setup` · `component` · `mode` · `risk` ·
126
+ `structure`.
127
+
128
+ Any time: `wdi-decision` · `wdi-question` · `wdi-log` · `wdi-help` · `wdi-explain-to-me` · `wdi-reconcile` · `wdi-review` ·
129
+ `wdi-report` · `wdi-systematic-debugging`.
130
+
131
+ When the owner asks for it: `wdi-autopilot` one mandate the owner accepts, then every skill above runs
132
+ unattended and every decision lands in one ledger. It is never the default next step.
133
+
134
+ **No BMad skill is invoked directly.** Each has a wrapper, and the wrapper is what checks position,
135
+ verifies the result, and lands the memlog.
136
+
137
+ ## What MUST NOT be done
138
+
139
+ - A method file MUST NOT be invented or patched here to improve the method. If a rule is wrong, it is
140
+ fixed in the WDI Method package, then brought here with `npx wdi-method update`.
141
+ - A file in `_bmad-output/prior-knowledge/` MUST NOT be copied into `.what/` or `.how/`. It enters
142
+ the corpus only through the skill that owns the slot.
143
+ - `.control/generated/`, `.what-rendered/`, and `.how-rendered/` MUST NOT be written by hand — they are the output of `validate.py` and
144
+ `timeline.py`.
145
+ - The two structure maps in `.control/` MUST NOT be edited by hand `wdi-init` intent `structure`
146
+ re-derives them.
147
+ - A `DEC-` with status `applied` MUST NOT be edited, except to record its supersession status moves
148
+ to `superseded` and names its replacement. A change of mind produces a new `DEC-`.
149
+ - A file in `.constitution/method/why/` MUST NOT be cited as the reason to reject a change. It is
150
+ `status: Reference` it explains, it does not bind, and where it disagrees with a guide the guide
151
+ wins and the disagreement is a defect. This covers `why/` ONLY: a guide in
152
+ `.constitution/method/document/` is `status: Accepted` and it binds.
153
+ - More than the component's `mode` demands MUST NOT be written. Exceeding the depth the owner set is
154
+ not diligence.
155
+ - `.claude/skills/bmad-*/customize.toml` MUST NOT be edited it is overwritten on every BMad update;
156

+ | Wanting the whole method in five minutes | `.constitution/method/why/README.md` |
163
+ | About to change a rule, and needing to know what breaks | `.constitution/method/why/rationale.md` |
164
+ | Asking whether a document exists at this `mode`, or where a file goes | `.constitution/method/why/artifact-map.md` |
165
+ | Unsure whether a file may exist in this repo | `.constitution/method/repo-guide.md` |
166
+ | Unsure where a file lives | `.constitution/method/document/corpus-guide.md` |
167
+ | Unsure what a method term means | `.constitution/method/method-glossary.md` |
168
+ | Unsure about a domain term | `.control/product-glossary.md` |
169
+ | Looking for a non-technical fact a domain, an account, a legal entity, a locked date | `.control/project-non-technical-log.md` |
170
+ | Naming anything — a code identifier, a file, a database column | `.constitution/method/language-guide.md` |
171
+ | Asking "which gate now, what next" | `.constitution/method/document/delivery-flow-guide.md` · skill `wdi-help` |
172
+ | Having to decide something, and wanting the reading done first | skill `wdi-explain-to-me` — it briefs, and changes nothing |
173
+ | Wanting every `FR` delivered without being asked in between | skill `wdi-autopilot` — preflight, one mandate, then the loop |
174
+ | Setting or changing `mode` or `risk_accepted` | `.constitution/method/document/delivery-flow-guide.md` · skill `wdi-init` |
175
+ | Invoking a BMad skill | `.constitution/method/document/bmad-guide.md` · `.constitution/method/document/bmad-skill-register.md` |
176
+ | Writing or reviewing a product brief | `.constitution/method/document/brief-guide.md` |
177
+ | Writing or reviewing a PRD | `.constitution/method/document/prd-guide.md` |
178
+ | Writing or reviewing UX | `.constitution/method/document/ux-guide.md` |
179
+ | Writing or reviewing an SRS | `.constitution/method/document/srs-guide.md` |
180
+ | Writing or reviewing an SDD | `.constitution/method/document/sdd-guide.md` |
181
+ | Writing the spine, an `AD-N`, C4, or one of the three inventories | `.constitution/method/document/architecture-guide.md` |
182
+ | Opening, accepting, or applying a `DEC-` | `.constitution/method/document/decision-guide.md` |
183
+ | Writing or reading a structure map | `.constitution/method/structure-guide.md` |
184
+ | Looking for where code lives, or placing new code | `.control/structure-codebase.md` |
185
+ | Looking for where a document lives | `.control/structure-document.md` |
186
+ | Writing or reviewing code | `.constitution/project/codebase-stack-guide.md` · `.constitution/project/codebase-conventions-guide.md` · `.constitution/project/codebase-brownfield-guide.md` |
187
+
188
+ All three `.constitution/project/codebase-*-guide.md` start as `status: Draft`. While they are, their contents MAY be read
189
+ as guidance but MUST NOT be used to reject a change.
190
+
191
+ The two structure maps MUST NOT be installed as `doc_standards` — they are facts, not standards. Nor
192
+ MUST anything in `.constitution/method/why/`; `status: Reference` forbids it. A guide in
193
+ `.constitution/method/document/` MAY be installed that way, and several already are see
194
+ `_bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml`.
195
+
196
+ ## Bugs, decisions, questions
197
+
198
+ - A bug, a failing test, or unexpected behaviour → skill `wdi-systematic-debugging`, **before** any
199
+ fix is proposed.
200
+ - A decision worth remembering → skill `wdi-decision` → `.control/decisions/`. Recording is **not
201
+ mandatory**: if the answer to *why is it like this* is readable from the code, it MUST NOT be
202
+ recorded. One case is mandatory — contradicting an `AD-N`.
203
+ - Something that cannot be decided now → skill `wdi-question` → `.control/questions/`. The default
204
+ class is `assumptions.md`, not `blocking.md`; filing something as blocking "to be safe" is the
205
+ habit that produced unreadable question lists.
206
+ - A non-technical fact that constrains the build skill `wdi-log` intent `fact`
207
+ `.control/project-non-technical-log.md`.
208
+
209
+ ## Method policy
210
+
211
+ - A skill MUST NOT be invoked automatically. Name the one that fits and wait for the owner's
212
+ go-ahead — this holds even when the skill's own description says it must be used. Reading a
213
+ skill as reference is fine. The one exception is `wdi-autopilot` under a `DEC-` of `type: mandate`
214
+ at `status: accepted` that has not expired: the mandate **is** the go-ahead, for every skill it
215
+ needs, until it lapses.
216
+ - `.work/` is not production code. It MUST NOT be imported by the application, and MUST be
217
+ excluded when searching for code.
218
+ <!-- END:wdi-method -->
219
+
220
+ ## Code
221
+
222
+ Rewrite this section for the product. Stack, how to run tests, and known pitfalls belong here.
223
+ `wdi-init` intent `structure` derives `.control/structure-codebase.md`; do not duplicate that map.
