Create AIWG Framework
Create a new AIWG framework with complete lifecycle structure.
Process
1. Validate Framework Name
Check that $ARGUMENTS contains a valid framework name:
- Must be kebab-case (lowercase with hyphens)
- Must not conflict with existing frameworks
Check existing frameworks:
ls ~/.local/share/ai-writing-guide/agentic/code/frameworks/
2. Interactive Design (if --interactive)
If --interactive is specified, guide the user through framework design:
Framework Purpose:
What lifecycle does this framework manage? (e.g., software development, marketing campaigns, legal cases)
Target Audience:
Who will use this framework? (e.g., development teams, marketing departments, legal firms)
Phase Structure:
What phases does this lifecycle include? Default: inception, elaboration, construction, transition Custom examples: discovery, analysis, synthesis, publication
Agent Categories:
What types of roles are needed?
- Analysis roles (analysts, researchers)
- Design roles (architects, designers)
- Implementation roles (developers, writers)
- Quality roles (reviewers, testers)
- Management roles (coordinators, managers)
Template Categories:
What artifact types will be produced?
- Planning documents
- Requirements documents
- Design documents
- Implementation artifacts
- Quality artifacts
- Deployment artifacts
3. Execute Scaffolding
Run the CLI scaffolding tool:
node ~/.local/share/ai-writing-guide/tools/scaffolding/scaffold-framework.mjs \
<name> \
--description "<derived from interactive>" \
--phases "<phase1,phase2,...>"
4. Post-Creation Guidance
After scaffolding, provide guidance on next steps:
Immediate Actions:
- Review and customize
actors-and-templates.md - Define your first agents for each phase
- Create initial templates for key artifacts
Agent Creation Priority:
- Phase 1: Create 2-3 core agents per phase
- Phase 2: Add specialized agents as needed
- Phase 3: Add orchestration agents for workflows
Command Creation Priority:
- Phase 1: Create phase execution commands (
flow-<phase>) - Phase 2: Create transition commands (
flow-<phase>-to-<next>) - Phase 3: Create utility commands (status, validation)
Template Creation Priority:
- Phase 1: Create 2-3 key templates per phase
- Phase 2: Add specialized templates
- Phase 3: Create cross-cutting templates
5. Provide Reference Resources
Point to existing frameworks as examples:
sdlc-complete: 53 agents, 48 commands, comprehensive lifecyclemedia-marketing-kit: 37 agents, marketing-focused lifecycle
Reference documentation:
docs/development/framework-creation-guide.mddocs/development/devkit-overview.md
Output Format
Framework Created: <name>
─────────────────────────
Location: ~/.local/share/ai-writing-guide/agentic/code/frameworks/<name>/
Phases: <phase1> → <phase2> → ... → <phaseN>
Created:
✓ manifest.json
✓ README.md
✓ plan-act-<name>.md
✓ actors-and-templates.md
✓ agents/manifest.md
✓ commands/manifest.md
✓ templates/manifest.json
✓ flows/<phase>.md (for each phase)
✓ metrics/tracking-catalog.md
✓ config/models.json
Next Steps:
1. Define actors: Edit actors-and-templates.md
2. Add agents: aiwg add-agent <name> --to <framework>
3. Add commands: aiwg add-command <name> --to <framework>
4. Add templates: aiwg add-template <name> --to <framework> --category <phase>
5. Deploy: aiwg use <framework>
Notes
- Framework creation is a significant undertaking (50+ agents typical)
- Study existing frameworks before creating new ones
- Use
--interactivefor guided design process - Start small and iterate (core agents first, then expand)
