Best use case
devkit-create-framework is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
It is a strong fit for teams already working in Codex.
Comma-separated phase names
Teams using devkit-create-framework should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# 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: ```bash 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: ```bash 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**: 1. Review and customize `actors-and-templates.md` 2. Define your first agents for each phase 3. 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 lifecycle - `media-marketing-kit`: 37 agents, marketing-focused lifecycle Reference documentation: - `docs/development/framework-creation-guide.md` - `docs/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 `--interactive` for guided design process - Start small and iterate (core agents first, then expand) ## References - @$AIWG_ROOT/agentic/code/addons/aiwg-dev/README.md — aiwg-dev addon overview - @$AIWG_ROOT/docs/extensions/overview.md — Extension system architecture - @$AIWG_ROOT/docs/cli-reference.md — CLI reference including scaffold-framework command - @$AIWG_ROOT/agentic/code/frameworks/sdlc-complete/README.md — SDLC framework as reference implementation - @$AIWG_ROOT/agentic/code/addons/aiwg-utils/rules/god-session.md — Scope guidelines for agent design within frameworks
