Aiwg Regenerate

Regenerate Context — Branch Selector

The CLI is the deterministic source of truth for context regeneration. An unqualified invocation previews transactional adoption for an established, not-yet-extracted repository; fresh or already-adopted projects route to the canonical refresh. Mutation of an inferred adoption always requires an explicit --apply. Do not make users choose a branch unless they want to override the selection.

Select and load exactly one linked branch before execution:

• Canonical workspace graph — default refresh for new and already-migrated projects.
• Existing-project extraction — transactional adoption of stable project metadata and provider context into the canonical graph; preview is the default and --apply is required.
• Legacy full injection — compatibility branch; embeds normalized AIWG context inside the provider startup file.

Commands

# Intelligent default (recommended user surface)
aiwg run skill aiwg-regenerate

# Canonical default
aiwg regenerate --workspace [--provider <name>] [--dry-run] [--force]

# Existing-project transactional adoption
aiwg regenerate --existing-project [--provider <name>] [--dry-run|--apply]

# Legacy compatibility
aiwg regenerate --full-inject [--provider <name>] [--dry-run]

--legacy aliases --full-inject. The CLI rejects conflicting branches, unknown options, and missing provider values with usage status.

--existing-project rejects --force and all --no-*-md partial-write flags. It refuses possible credentials and ambiguous directive conflicts, previews the exact extracted block and transaction targets, and prints the rollback command after apply.

Explicit branch flags always win. Without one, the executable selector checks the canonical extractor's complete stable-source inventory and managed markers. A first-time established project is previewed; rerun with --apply to adopt it. An already-extracted or genuinely signal-free project uses --workspace.

Supported shared controls are --dry-run, --provider <name>, --force, --no-aiwg-md, --no-agents-md, and --no-workspace-md. The last option is implicit in legacy mode.

Execution Contract

1. For an established project, preview the selected branch first.
2. Preserve operator-authored content outside managed regions.
3. Never copy possible credentials into generated context.
4. Execute with aiwg run skill aiwg-regenerate -- <flags> when the provider supports executable skills, or run the equivalent aiwg regenerate command.
5. Report the selected branch, provider, changed targets, backups, warnings, validation result, and rollback path.

Use aiwg refresh instead when frameworks, agents, skills, rules, commands, or provider deployments also need to be updated.
