15

6
+ # Write ww rules from the operator's words
7
+
8
+ A rule is one sentence a step's agent must follow, in a Markdown file whose
9
+ optional frontmatter scopes it to files (`paths`) or gives it a command
10
+ (`check`). You decide what the rules are; `./ww rules add`, `edit`, `move`,
11
+ `filter` and `promote` write them, validated. Never edit a rule file, a
12
+ group, `ww-rules.yaml`, `ww.yaml` or
13
+ `ww-rule-automation.json` yourself.
14
+
15
+ 1. **Learn what exists.** Run `./ww rules --json` (groups, their filters and
16
+ directories' rules with IDs, summaries, globs, and the project's
17
+ `check_guidance` setting) and `./ww discover` (the
18
+ workflows and their steps). Use only workflow and step names they show;
19
+ never invent one.
20
+ 2. **Split into atomic obligations.** One rule is one thing an agent can do
21
+ or fail to do. Break the input into such obligations and merge the ones
22
+ that say the same thing twice. For each, search the existing rules by ID
23
+ and by wording (the `summary` fields) and classify it: **new**, an
24
+ **amendment** of `<id>` (same obligation, new wording or globs), or a
25
+ **filter change** of `<group>` (the rule is right, the steps it reaches
26
+ are not).
27
+ 3. **Decide globs.** Give `paths` only when the sentence names a kind of file
28
+ or a directory. Count what each glob matches (`git ls-files | grep -c`,
29
+ or `--dry-run`, which reports the count). A glob that matches nothing is
30
+ dropped, and you say so.
31
+ 4. **Decide placement from the real filters.** An existing group whose
32
+ `workflows`/`steps` fit the rule; else propose a new group with its
33
+ directory and filters; else, for a one-off, the step's own `rules:` list,
34
+ which the operator edits in the YAML by hand (say exactly what to add).
35
+ 5. **Rewrite each rule** as one imperative sentence with concrete nouns and
36
+ no hedging; the rationale and an example go in the body below it, since
37
+ the step page shows only the first sentence. Propose a `check` only when
38
+ it is obvious: a one-line shell command, or an existing tool whose
39
+ configuration the rule plainly belongs to, listed among the store's
40
+ `checks`. Write a check for the directory ww runs it from, the step's
41
+ directory (the task's worktree when there is one), through the wrapper
42
+ the project runs its own commands with, such as a container exec, as
43
+ `.ww/project.md` or the agent instructions record it; never an absolute
44
+ path into the main checkout. When `check_guidance` is set, follow it; it
45
+ wins over these defaults. Otherwise leave it without one: a verifier
46
+ judges it until `ww-scriptize-rules` (the `ww-scriptize` skill) builds a
47
+ check for it with the operator.
48
+ 6. **Confirm once.** Show one block with, per rule: ID, group, the group's
49
+ filters, glob and its match count, the sentence, and `new` or
50
+ `replaces <id>: <old sentence>`. For an amendment of a rule with an
51
+ approved store command (`store_check` in `./ww rules --json`), say
52
+ whether you will **promote** that command first, the default when the
53
+ meaning is unchanged (`./ww rules promote <check>`, then edit), or let
54
+ `ww-scriptize-rules` build one again for the new wording, since changing
55
+ the wording stops the stored command from matching. Wait for the operator's answer; change nothing
56
+ before it.
57
+ 7. **Write only through the CLI**, in this order: new groups
58
+ (`./ww rules add --group <name> --dir <path> [--workflows ...] [--steps ...]`),
59
+ promotions (`./ww rules promote <check>`), amendments
60
+ (`./ww rules edit <id> [--text "<sentence and body>"] [--paths <glob> ...]`),
61
+ moves (`./ww rules move <id> <group>`), filter changes
62
+ (`./ww rules filter <group> [--workflows ...] [--steps ...]`), new rules
63
+ (`./ww rules add <group> --text "<sentence and body>" [--paths <glob> ...]
64
+ [--assert empty|equals:<v> ...] [--id <stem>]
65
+ [--check-shell "<sh>" | --check-argv -- <arg> ...]`; `--check-argv --` goes
66
+ last, so the checked tool's own options stay its own). Each command refuses a write that would leave the
67
+ configuration invalid and changes nothing then; `--dry-run` checks one
68
+ first. A refusal is reported to the operator, not worked around.
69
+ 8. **Show the result.** Run `./ww lint` and show its output, and show where
70
+ each rule now applies: the steps each write command lists, or
71
+ `./ww rules`. Nothing is committed; say which files changed.

13
+ and reason aloud about what it implies for the setup, until the operator's

17
+ never blocks ordinary work. A single choice, as in the `choose` steps, goes through your native

19
+ and follow its supported fields, using structured options when offered and a
20

+ an answer, and no dependent step may proceed. If there is no suitable question

25
+ file ww writes, the setup before it is placed, and you never edit ww's
26
+ configuration files yourself: ww's workflows place changes with

+ `./ww setup apply`.
28

29
+ 1. **Read the state.** Run `./ww discover` and `./ww onboarding --json`. If
30
+ discover says ww is disabled, tell the operator and stop. Note whether

33
+ 2. **Ask once.** Put everything into one opening message (all questions at
34
+ once in your question tool where it takes several, as `AskUserQuestion`
35
+ does), and end your turn. When `project.setup.done` is `false`, it asks
36
+ which path to take:
37
+ - Express: ww learns the repository, then derives a setup from it and asks
38
+ you only for a consequential choice the project does not settle. Runs
39
+ `ww-learn-project`, then `ww-suggest` with the requirement "Express
40
+ setup".
41
+ - Guided: ww learns the repository, then asks a few questions about your
42
+ process: what is painful, what outcome would help, where you want to be
43
+ involved and what may run automatically, skipping what the project
44
+ already answers. Runs `ww-learn-project`, then `ww-suggest`.
45
+ - None for now.
46
+
47
+ Explain the path in a few sentences: `ww-learn-project` records the
48
+ project's purpose, stack, verify commands, CI, review and release process,
49
+ conventions and recurring pitfalls, starting from `./ww inspect`, in
50
+ `.ww/project.md`, which is shared with the team once committed; when that
51
+ file exists, it is refreshed, not replaced; `ww-suggest` designs a minimal
52
+ setup from it with you, grounded in ww's design documents (`./ww docs
53
+ specification|features|examples`), proposes it in full with the evidence for each piece, walks
54
+ through a realistic task, revises it from your feedback, validates it, and
55
+ places it for you alone or shared with the team. The guided path takes one
56
+ more reply than the express one: your answers about the process.
57
+
58
+ Narration is optional and is never asked here. If the operator says they
59
+ want to see what ww does while it works, record it:
60
+ `./ww onboarding --set explain=true` (`explain=false` to stop). While
61
+ `user.explain` is `true`, add `--mode ww-narrate` to every `start` below
62
+ and, between workflows, say in a sentence what comes next and why.
63
+ 3. **Name what is not learned yet.** In the same message, when `project.md`
64
+ is missing or `learned.project` is `null`, say the project is not learned
65
+ yet and recommend `ww-learn-project`, also when `project.setup.done` is
66
+ already `true`. When it exists, offer to refresh it only if the operator
67
+ says it is out of date; do not ask again what it already records.
68
+
69
+ When setup is already done, offer: refresh what ww learned (the
70
+ `ww-refresh` skill), `ww-suggest` again (for example to share your setup
71
+ with the team), `ww-wizard` to create or change a workflow or rules,
72
+ `ww-solve` for a problem, `ww-rules-from-artifacts`,
73
+ `ww-automate`, or `ww-scriptize` to turn the rules that have no check yet
74
+ into checks.
75
+ 4. **Run each chosen workflow**, in the chosen path's order, with the start command
76
+ `discover` shows:
77
+
78
+ ```console
79
+ ./ww start --workflow <name> --agent <agent> --requirements "<what the operator wants from it, in one line>" --role manager
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ For the express path, the `ww-suggest` requirements start with "Express

84
+ unless `discover` says this project needs one; then ask the operator for

+ page until the run completes. When a run offers the next workflow, start
87
+ the next one of the chosen path, or another only if the operator says yes
88
+ now.
89
+ 5. **Finish.** Run `./ww onboarding --set setup.done=true`, also when the
