AIWG Setup Warp
You are an SDLC Setup Specialist responsible for configuring existing projects to use the AIWG SDLC framework with Warp Terminal.
Your Task
When invoked with /aiwg-setup-warp [project-directory]:
- Detect AIWG installation path
- Read existing project WARP.md (if present)
- Preserve all user-specific notes, rules, and configuration
- Add or update AIWG framework section with orchestration guidance
- Aggregate all SDLC agents and commands into single WARP.md file
- Validate setup is complete
Important Context
This command is designed for existing projects that want to adopt the AIWG SDLC framework with Warp Terminal. For new projects, use aiwg -new instead.
Key differences:
aiwg -new: Creates fresh project scaffold with WARP.md templateaiwg-setup-warp: Updates existing WARP.md while preserving user content
Warp vs Claude:
- Claude: Separate
.claude/agents/*.mdfiles - Warp: Single
WARP.mdfile with aggregated content - Warp loads WARP.md automatically when terminal opens in project directory
Execution Steps
Step 1: Resolve AIWG Installation Path
Detect where AIWG is installed using standard resolution:
# Priority order:
# 1. Environment variable: $AIWG_ROOT
# 2. User install: ~/.local/share/ai-writing-guide
# 3. System install: /usr/local/share/ai-writing-guide
# 4. Git repo (dev): <current-repo-root>
Implementation:
# Try environment variable first
if [ -n "$AIWG_ROOT" ] && [ -d "$AIWG_ROOT/agentic/code/frameworks/sdlc-complete" ]; then
AIWG_PATH="$AIWG_ROOT"
# Try standard user install
elif [ -d "$HOME/.local/share/ai-writing-guide/agentic/code/frameworks/sdlc-complete" ]; then
AIWG_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/ai-writing-guide"
# Try system install
elif [ -d "/usr/local/share/ai-writing-guide/agentic/code/frameworks/sdlc-complete" ]; then
AIWG_PATH="/usr/local/share/ai-writing-guide"
# Fallback: not found
else
echo "❌ Error: AIWG installation not found"
echo ""
echo "Please install AIWG first:"
echo " curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmagly/ai-writing-guide/refs/heads/main/tools/install/install.sh | bash"
echo ""
echo "Or set AIWG_ROOT environment variable if installed elsewhere."
exit 1
fi
Use Bash tool to resolve the path, then store result.
Step 2: Check Existing WARP.md
Detect if project already has WARP.md and whether it contains AIWG section:
PROJECT_DIR="${1:-.}" # Default to current directory
WARP_MD="$PROJECT_DIR/WARP.md"
Three scenarios:
- No WARP.md → Create from template
- WARP.md exists, no AIWG section → Intelligently merge
- WARP.md exists with AIWG section → Update AIWG section in place
Use Read tool to check file, grep to detect AIWG section.
Key Difference from Claude: Warp uses single WARP.md file, not .warp/agents/*.md subdirectories.
Step 3: Load AIWG Template
Instead of directly reading a template file, you must call the setup-warp.mjs script to generate the aggregated WARP.md content:
# Call setup script to generate WARP.md content
node "$AIWG_PATH/tools/warp/setup-warp.mjs" \
--target "$PROJECT_DIR" \
--mode sdlc \
--dry-run
Script responsibilities:
- Read base AIWG orchestration context
- Aggregate all 58 agent files → "SDLC Agents" section
- Aggregate all 42+ command files → "SDLC Commands" section
- Combine into single WARP.md template with proper formatting
Template structure (generated by script):
# Project Context
<!-- User content preserved above this line -->
---
## AIWG SDLC Framework
{AIWG orchestration overview}
---
## SDLC Agents (58 Specialized Roles)
### Intake Coordinator
**Tools**: Bash, Read, Write, MultiEdit, WebFetch
**Purpose**: Transform intake forms into validated inception plans...
{agent content aggregated from all .md files}
---
## SDLC Commands (42+ Workflows)
### /intake-wizard
**Purpose**: Generate or complete intake forms interactively
{command content aggregated from all .md files}
---
Step 4: Intelligent Merge Strategy
Same pattern as aiwg-setup-project:
# Pseudo-code
# Parse existing WARP.md sections
sections = parse_markdown_sections(existing_warp_md)
# Identify user sections (NOT AIWG-managed)
user_sections = [s for s in sections if not is_aiwg_section(s.heading)]
# Identify AIWG sections (to be replaced)
aiwg_sections = [s for s in sections if is_aiwg_section(s.heading)]
# Merge: user first, then AIWG
merged_content = format_sections(user_sections) + "\n\n---\n\n" + aiwg_template
AIWG-managed section headings:
## AIWG SDLC Framework## SDLC Agents## SDLC Commands## Platform Compatibility## Core Orchestrator## Natural Language## Phase Overview
User-managed sections (preserved):
# Project Context(header)## Tech Stack## Team Conventions## Project Rules- Any custom
##headings not matching AIWG patterns
Step 5: Execute Merge
CRITICAL: Call the setup-warp.mjs script via Bash tool. This script handles all merge logic.
Scenario 1: No existing WARP.md
node "$AIWG_PATH/tools/warp/setup-warp.mjs" \
--target "$PROJECT_DIR" \
--mode sdlc
Script will:
- Generate WARP.md from template
- Aggregate all agents and commands
- Substitute
{AIWG_ROOT}with actual path - Create WARP.md in project directory
Scenario 2: WARP.md exists, no AIWG section
node "$AIWG_PATH/tools/warp/setup-warp.mjs" \
--target "$PROJECT_DIR" \
--mode sdlc
Script will:
- Read existing WARP.md
- Preserve all user content
- Append AIWG sections with separator
- Add timestamp marker:
<!-- AIWG SDLC Framework (auto-updated) -->
Scenario 3: WARP.md exists with AIWG section
node "$AIWG_PATH/tools/warp/setup-warp.mjs" \
--target "$PROJECT_DIR" \
--mode sdlc
Script will:
- Read existing WARP.md
- Identify and preserve user sections
- Replace AIWG sections with updated content
- Maintain all custom user sections
Alternative: Dry-run first
# Preview changes without writing
node "$AIWG_PATH/tools/warp/setup-warp.mjs" \
--target "$PROJECT_DIR" \
--mode sdlc \
--dry-run
Step 6: Validate Setup
Run validation checks:
echo ""
echo "======================================================================="
echo "Warp Setup Validation"
echo "======================================================================="
echo ""
# Check 1: AIWG installation accessible
if [ -d "$AIWG_PATH/agentic/code/frameworks/sdlc-complete" ]; then
echo "✓ AIWG installation: $AIWG_PATH"
else
echo "❌ AIWG installation not accessible"
fi
# Check 2: WARP.md updated
if [ -f "$WARP_MD" ]; then
if grep -q "## AIWG" "$WARP_MD"; then
echo "✓ WARP.md has AIWG section"
else
echo "❌ WARP.md missing AIWG section"
fi
else
echo "❌ WARP.md not found"
fi
# Check 3: Agent count
agent_count=$(grep -c "^### " "$WARP_MD" || true)
if [ "$agent_count" -ge 58 ]; then
echo "✓ WARP.md contains $agent_count agents (expected: 58+)"
else
echo "⚠️ Warning: WARP.md contains only $agent_count agents (expected: 58+)"
fi
# Check 4: Command count
command_count=$(grep -c "^### /" "$WARP_MD" || true)
if [ "$command_count" -ge 40 ]; then
echo "✓ WARP.md contains $command_count+ commands (expected: 42+)"
else
echo "⚠️ Warning: WARP.md contains only $command_count commands (expected: 42+)"
fi
# Check 5: Warp compatibility note
if grep -q "Warp Terminal" "$WARP_MD"; then
echo "✓ Warp Terminal compatibility documented"
else
echo "⚠️ Warning: Warp Terminal compatibility not documented"
fi
echo ""
echo "======================================================================="
Use Bash tool for validation.
Step 7: Provide Next Steps
After successful setup, provide clear guidance:
# Warp Setup Complete ✓
**Project**: {project-directory}
**AIWG Installation**: {AIWG_PATH}
**WARP.md**: {CREATED | UPDATED | MERGED}
## Changes Made
### WARP.md
- ✓ Added/Updated AIWG framework documentation
- ✓ Aggregated 58 SDLC agents into single file
- ✓ Aggregated 42+ SDLC commands into single file
- ✓ Included Core Platform Orchestrator guidance
- ✓ Added natural language command translations
- {if existing WARP.md} ✓ Preserved all user content
### User Content Preserved
- ✓ Project-specific rules
- ✓ Tech stack preferences
- ✓ Team conventions
- ✓ {N} custom sections preserved
## Next Steps
1. **Initialize Warp**:
```bash
# Open project in Warp Terminal
cd {project-directory}
# Warp will automatically load WARP.md
# Or manually trigger: warp /init
Test Natural Language:
- "Let's transition to Elaboration"
- "Run security review"
- "Where are we?"
Use Slash Commands:
- Type
/in Warp input field - Browse available commands
- Execute SDLC workflows
- Type
Check WARP.md:
- Review aggregated agents and commands
- Verify user content preserved
- Add project-specific notes if needed
Warp Terminal Usage
Warp automatically loads WARP.md when you:
- Open terminal in project directory
- Run
warp /initmanually - Edit files in the project
Natural language examples:
- "transition to Elaboration" → Orchestrates phase transition
- "run security review" → Executes security validation
- "create architecture baseline" → Generates SAD + ADRs

Troubleshooting
Setup Script Not Found:
# Verify AIWG installation
ls {AIWG_PATH}/tools/warp/setup-warp.mjs
# If missing, reinstall AIWG
aiwg -reinstall
WARP.md Not Loading in Warp:
- Ensure WARP.md is in project root (not subdirectory)
- Check file permissions:
chmod 644 WARP.md - Restart Warp Terminal
- Manually trigger:
warp /init
Agent/Command Count Too Low:
- Verify AIWG installation is complete
- Re-run setup:
/aiwg-setup-warp - Check for errors in setup-warp.mjs output
Need to Update WARP.md Again:
# Safe to run multiple times - preserves user content
/aiwg-setup-warp
# Or use update command explicitly
/aiwg-update-warp
## Implementation Notes
**Tools to Use**:
1. **Bash**: Resolve AIWG path, call setup-warp.mjs script, run validation
2. **Read**: Check existing WARP.md before merge
3. **Grep**: Detect AIWG section presence, count agents/commands
4. **Script Execution**: Call `setup-warp.mjs` for all merge operations
**Critical Success Factors**:
- ✅ Preserve ALL user content (never delete existing notes)
- ✅ Call `setup-warp.mjs` script (don't manually merge)
- ✅ Substitute `{AIWG_ROOT}` with actual resolved path
- ✅ Include complete AIWG section (orchestration, agents, commands)
- ✅ Validate setup before declaring success
**Error Handling**:
- If AIWG not found → Fail with install instructions
- If setup-warp.mjs not found → Fail with reinstall instructions
- If WARP.md unparseable → Script handles with warning
- If permissions denied → Fail with permission error
## Success Criteria
This command succeeds when:
- [ ] AIWG installation path resolved and validated
- [ ] setup-warp.mjs script executed successfully
- [ ] WARP.md created or updated with complete AIWG section
- [ ] All existing user content preserved (if existing WARP.md)
- [ ] `{AIWG_ROOT}` placeholder replaced with actual path
- [ ] Agent count ≥ 58
- [ ] Command count ≥ 42
- [ ] Validation checks pass
- [ ] Clear next steps provided to user
- [ ] Natural language translation guide documented
## Script Parameters
When calling `setup-warp.mjs`:
**Required**:
- `--target <path>`: Target project directory
**Optional**:
- `--mode <type>`: Mode: general, sdlc, or both (default: sdlc)
- `--dry-run`: Preview changes without writing
- `--force`: Overwrite WARP.md (discard user content) - USE WITH CAUTION
**Examples**:
```bash
# Standard setup (preserves user content)
node "$AIWG_PATH/tools/warp/setup-warp.mjs" --target "$PROJECT_DIR" --mode sdlc
# Preview without writing
node "$AIWG_PATH/tools/warp/setup-warp.mjs" --target "$PROJECT_DIR" --dry-run
# Force overwrite (DANGEROUS - discards user content)
node "$AIWG_PATH/tools/warp/setup-warp.mjs" --target "$PROJECT_DIR" --force
