Aiwg Regenerate

Deterministic execution (#1266): this skill has a script: entrypoint that shells out to aiwg regenerate "$@". Prefer aiwg run skill aiwg-regenerate -- <flags> over agent-mediated invocation. When invoked as a slash command on platforms without a deployed command stub, the agent MUST run only aiwg regenerate <flags> and report its output — no exploratory permission requests, no multi-step planning. The deterministic CLI is the source of truth.

Regenerate Platform Context File

Analyze current project state and regenerate the platform context file (CLAUDE.md, WARP.md, or AGENTS.md) while preserving team directives and organizational requirements.

By default, uses the hook file architecture: generates AIWG.md (or provider equivalent) and adds a single directive to the context file. Use --full-inject for the legacy inline approach.

Parameters

Platform Detection

Detect current platform automatically by checking for existing context files:

If multiple files exist, use priority order. If ambiguous, ask user.

--all Mode

Regenerate all detected providers simultaneously:

Detected providers: claude, warp, cursor
Regenerating all...
  ✓ CLAUDE.md → AIWG.md (312 lines)
  ✓ WARP.md → AIWG-warp.md (298 lines)
  ✓ .cursorrules → AIWG-cursor.md (295 lines)
Regenerated 3 providers.

For explicit platform targeting, use:

• /aiwg-regenerate-claude → CLAUDE.md + AIWG.md
• /aiwg-regenerate-warp → WARP.md + AIWG-warp.md
• /aiwg-regenerate-agents → AGENTS.md + AIWG-agents.md
• /aiwg-regenerate-cursorrules → .cursorrules + AIWG-cursor.md
• /aiwg-regenerate-windsurfrules → .windsurfrules + AIWG-windsurf.md
• /aiwg-regenerate-copilot → copilot-instructions.md + AIWG-copilot.md
• /aiwg-regenerate-factory → AGENTS.md + AIWG-factory.md
• /aiwg-regenerate-opencode → .opencode/context.md + AIWG-opencode.md
• /aiwg-regenerate-codex → CODEX.md (full inject, no @-link support)

Execution Steps

Step 1: Detect Platform

Determine which context file to regenerate based on platform detection.

Report:

Platform detected: Claude Code
Target file: CLAUDE.md

Step 2: Create Backup

Unless --no-backup flag is set:

1. Generate timestamp: YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
2. Copy current file to {filename}.backup-{timestamp}
3. Report backup location

Backup created: CLAUDE.md.backup-20251206-152233

Step 3: Extract Preserved Content

Parse existing file and extract content matching preservation patterns.

Preservation Patterns:

1. Explicit Markers

   <!-- PRESERVE -->
   Content here is always preserved
   <!-- /PRESERVE -->
   
   <!-- PRESERVE: Single line directive -->
   

2. Section Headings (case-insensitive)

   • ## Team * - Team rules/conventions
   • ## Org * / ## Organization * - Org policies
   • ## Definition of Done - DoD criteria
   • ## Code Quality * - Quality standards
   • ## Security Requirements / ## Security Policy - Security policies
   • ## Convention* - Conventions
   • ## Rules / ## Guidelines - Rules
   • ## Important * / ## Critical * - Important notes
   • ## NFR* / ## Non-Functional * - NFRs
   • ## *Standards - Standards
   • ## Project-Specific Notes - User notes

3. Directive Lines (within non-preserved sections)

   • Lines starting with: "Do not", "Don't", "Never", "Always", "Must", "Required:", "Policy:", "Rule:"
   • Lines containing: <!-- PRESERVE:

If --show-preserved flag: Display all preserved content and exit without regenerating.

Preserved Content Analysis
==========================

## Sections (3 found):

### Team Conventions (lines 45-62, 18 lines)
  - Do not add claude code signature to commit messages
  - All Python commands must run within venv
  - Commits made without attribution
  ... (15 more lines)

### Definition of Done (lines 78-86, 9 lines)
  - All tests passing
  - Code reviewed
  - Documentation updated
  ... (6 more lines)

### Security Requirements (lines 92-98, 7 lines)
  - All API keys via environment variables
  - No secrets in code
  ... (5 more lines)

## Inline Directives (2 found):

  Line 34: <!-- PRESERVE: Use internal npm registry for @company/* -->
  Line 112: Never deploy on Fridays without approval

Total: 36 lines will be preserved

Step 4: Analyze Project

Scan project to extract regenerable content:

Package Detection:

# Check for package files
ls package.json pyproject.toml requirements.txt go.mod Cargo.toml pom.xml build.gradle composer.json Gemfile 2>/dev/null

Extract from package.json:

• name, description, version
• scripts → Development commands
• dependencies, devDependencies → Tech stack

Extract from other sources:

• Makefile → Make targets
• README.md → Project description (first paragraph)
• Directory structure → Architecture overview

Detect Test Framework:

• jest.config.* → Jest
• vitest.config.* → Vitest
• pytest.ini, conftest.py → Pytest
• *_test.go files → Go testing
• .rspec → RSpec

Detect CI/CD:

• .github/workflows/*.yml → GitHub Actions
• .gitlab-ci.yml → GitLab CI
• Jenkinsfile → Jenkins
• .circleci/ → CircleCI

Report:

Project Analysis
================
Languages: TypeScript, Python
Package Manager: npm
Build Commands: 12 scripts detected
Test Framework: Vitest
CI/CD: GitHub Actions (3 workflows)

Step 5: Detect AIWG State

Check installed AIWG frameworks:

1. Check Registry

   # Project registry
   cat .aiwg/frameworks/registry.json 2>/dev/null
   
   # Global registry
   cat ~/.local/share/ai-writing-guide/registry.json 2>/dev/null
   

2. Scan Deployed Assets

   # Count agents
   ls .claude/agents/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l
   
   # Count commands
   ls .claude/commands/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l
   

3. Identify Frameworks

   • Check for sdlc-complete markers
   • Check for media-marketing-kit markers
   • Check for addon presence

Report:

AIWG State
==========
Frameworks:
  - sdlc-complete v1.0.0 (54 agents, 42 commands)
  - aiwg-utils v1.0.0 (1 agent, 4 commands)

Step 6: Generate New Document

If --dry-run flag: Display generated content without writing.

Structure:

# CLAUDE.md

---

<!--
  USER NOTES
  Add team directives, conventions, or project-specific notes below.
  Content in this file's preserved sections is maintained during regeneration.
  Use <!-- PRESERVE --> markers for content that must be kept.
-->

Step 7: Write File

1. Write generated content to target file
2. Report summary

Regeneration Complete
=====================

Backup: CLAUDE.md.backup-20251206-152233

Preserved (36 lines):
  - Team Conventions (18 lines)
  - Definition of Done (9 lines)
  - Security Requirements (7 lines)
  - Inline directives (2)

Regenerated:
  - Repository Purpose
  - Tech Stack (TypeScript, Python)
  - Development Commands (12 scripts)
  - Testing (Vitest)
  - Architecture
  - AIWG Integration (sdlc-complete, aiwg-utils)

Output: CLAUDE.md (428 lines)

Examples

# Standard regeneration with backup and preservation
/aiwg-regenerate

# Preview what would be generated
/aiwg-regenerate --dry-run

# See what content would be preserved
/aiwg-regenerate --show-preserved

# Full regeneration (loses all user content)
/aiwg-regenerate --full

# Regenerate without backup (use with caution)
/aiwg-regenerate --no-backup

Warning for --full Flag

If --full flag is used, display warning:

WARNING: Full regeneration will discard ALL existing content.

The following will be LOST:
  - Team Conventions (18 lines)
  - Definition of Done (9 lines)
  - Security Requirements (7 lines)
  - 2 inline directives

This cannot be undone (backup will still be created).

Continue with full regeneration? [y/N]

Interactive Mode

When --interactive is specified, ask strategic questions before regenerating:

1. Which provider to regenerate (if multiple detected)
2. Whether to use hook file or full-inject approach
3. Whether to preserve all detected team directives
4. Whether to create a backup

Native UX tool preference: For each question, use the platform's native interaction tool if available (e.g., AskUserQuestion in Claude Code). This provides a proper input UI rather than plain text output. If no native tool is available, fall back to formatted markdown with clear options. Ask one question per interaction turn.

See @$AIWG_ROOT/agentic/code/addons/aiwg-utils/rules/native-ux-tools.md for the full pattern.
