# How to use these workorders
2+
3+
> Audience: a coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) **and** the
4+
> non-coding human directing it.
5+
6+
## TL;DR
7+
8+
1. **Human**: Adapt `rules/user-context.template.md` for your project, save it as `~/.claude/rules/user-context.md`.
9+
2. **Human**: Read `workorders/01-scaffold.md`, replace the project-specific examples with yours.
10+
3. **Human**: Open a fresh Claude Code session, paste the adapted workorder, say *"You are the implementer. Follow this workorder. Ask me questions where you need decisions."*
11+
4. **Agent**: Reads workorder, asks questions, builds `.claude/` directory, runs the tests in the workorder, writes evidence to `~/Desktop/test-evidence-YYYYMMDD/`.
12+
5. **Human**: Reviews evidence (file paths in workorder §6), approves or sends back for fixes.
13+
6. **Repeat** for `workorders/02-skill-content.md` (writes the actual SKILL.md content).
14+
15+
## Phase 1: scaffold
16+
17+
What gets built:
18+
19+
- `~/.claude/rules/` directory with 3 rule files (copy from `rules/` in this repo) + your adapted `user-context.md`
20+
- `~/.claude/hooks/` directory with 4 shell scripts (1 keyword-trigger + 3 validators)
21+
- `~/.claude/skills/<your-skill-name>/SKILL.md` placeholder
22+
- `~/.claude/settings.json` updated to register the 4 new hooks (without breaking your existing hooks)
23+
24+
What you (the human) decide during scaffold:
25+
26+
- **Skill name** (e.g., `<project>-production-standards`, or whatever fits your project)
27+
- **Trigger keywords** for your project's "new agent / upgrade / refactor" terms
28+
- **Whether to install globally (`~/.claude/`) or per-project (`<project>/.claude/`)**
29+
- **Names of any `verify-*` validation hooks** specific to your project's hard rules
30+
31+
Estimated time: agent ~30-45 minutes, human ~5 minutes of decisions + 2 minutes of review.
32+
33+
## Phase 2: skill content
34+
35+
After scaffold passes, the SKILL.md is just a placeholder. Phase 2 fills it.
36+
37+
What gets written into SKILL.md:
38+
39+
- **Top-line hard rule**: "B-scenario reverse audit MUST use Read tool on existing code"
40+
- **Quality definition**: 0/1/75/100 score scale (0 = doesn't run, 75 = production complete, 100 = polished — pick your target)
41+
- **Agent type taxonomy**: 4 types (one-shot / short LLM / long no-LLM / long + LLM + GPU)
42+
- **3-scenario flow**: A (new), B (upgrade + reverse audit), C (large refactor with tag)
43+
- **21 baselines in 5 tiers** with examples for each
44+
- **Active thinking gap-filling**: agent must explicitly think "what else is missing"
45+
- **Gotchas**: 6 real incidents that hooks/skill prevent
46+
- **Design summary template**: structured output the agent produces for human approval
47+
48+
What you decide during phase 2:
49+
50+
- **The 21 baselines content** — what does production-ready mean *for your project*? My human's list is 80% transferable (timeout config, retry limits, resource cleanup, etc.) but 20% project-specific (e.g., "must call `notify_startup`" — your project might have a different scheduler protocol).
51+
- **Your real gotchas** — incidents your project actually had. Generic gotchas are useless.
52+
- **Existing agent classification table** — list your real agents and which type each one is.
53+
54+
Estimated time: agent ~2-3 hours, human ~15 minutes of decisions + 10 minutes of review.
55+
56+
## How to test that it actually works
57+
58+
After both phases:
59+
60+
1. Open a **new** Claude Code session (not the one that built the skill).
61+
2. Type: *"I want to upgrade `<your-existing-agent-name>` with `<new-feature>`."*
62+
3. Watch the agent's first response. It should:
63+
- Match your trigger keywords (you'll see the hook output in the session)
64+
- Activate the skill (`Skill(...) Successfully loaded skill`)
65+
- Use `Read` tool on the existing agent's code (this is the reverse-audit hard rule)
66+
- List what's missing in the existing agent (your 21 baselines)
67+
- Ask if you want to fix the missing items in this upgrade
68+
- **Not write any code yet**
69+
70+
If the agent immediately starts writing code, the skill didn't activate. Check
71+
your `~/.claude/settings.json` and the keyword list.
72+
73+
## What if my agent isn't Claude Code?
74+
75+
The workorders use Claude Code-specific concepts:
76+
77+
- `~/.claude/` directory layout
78+
- `SKILL.md` frontmatter convention
79+
- `settings.json` hook configuration
80+
81+
If you're on Cursor / Codex / Gemini CLI / OpenCode, the directory layout and
82+
hook mechanism will differ. The **structure** (rules, hooks, skill, scaffold,
83+
content) transfers. The **paths and config syntax** don't.
84+
85+
You'll need to adapt the workorder's commands to your agent's conventions. The
86+
21-baselines list and 3-scenario flow are agent-agnostic.
87+
88+
## Recommended flow if you're starting fresh
89+
90+
Don't try to do everything in one session.
91+
92+
```
93+
Day 1: Read workorder 01, fill out your user-context.md, decide your skill name
94+
Day 2: Run phase 1 with your agent, review, approve
95+
Day 3: Read workorder 02, decide your 21 baselines, decide your gotchas
96+
Day 4: Run phase 2 with your agent, review
97+
Day 5: Open a fresh session, do the trigger test
98+
Day 6+: Use it in real work, iterate when something feels off
99+
```
100+
101+
## When to *not* use this
102+
103+
- You write your own code and have an existing engineering standards process — this workorder is overhead for you.
104+
- Your "project" is a single script — the 21-baseline tier system is overkill.
105+
- Your team already has CI / linting / code review covering the same ground — duplication.
106+
107+
This workflow targets *non-coding humans running multi-agent pipelines* (or
108+
coding humans who specifically want to delegate the engineering standards
109+
layer). Outside that, simpler approaches exist.
110+
111+
## Source
112+
113+
These workorders were originally written for an AI video generation pipeline
114+
(see `README.md` for context). They're lightly desensitized — agent names and
115+
project specifics are kept as real examples; absolute paths are placeholdered.
116+
117+
Adapting them to your project takes ~30 minutes of reading + ~30 minutes of
118+
deciding what to replace.

## What this is
14+
15+
Two markdown workorders that, when pasted to a coding agent, cause it to build:
16+
17+
- **`.claude/rules/`** — 4 rule files (engineering principles, code quality, research-first, user context)
18+
- **`.claude/hooks/`** — 4 shell hooks (1 keyword-trigger + 3 PreToolUse validators)
19+
- **`.claude/skills/<your-skill>/SKILL.md`** — A production-standards skill with:
20+
- 21 baselines organized in 5 tiers (T1 = mandatory for all agents, T2 = situational, T3 = optional)
21+
- 4 agent-type taxonomy (one-shot script / short-running w/ LLM / long-running / long-running + LLM + GPU)
22+
- 3-scenario flow (A: new agent, B: upgrade with reverse audit, C: large refactor)
23+
- "Reverse audit" requirement: when upgrading an existing agent, the agent MUST `Read` the existing code (not guess), check it against the 21 baselines, and propose paying back missing items in the same upgrade pass
24+
25+
It's a **buildable prompt** — you don't install software, you give the workorder
26+
to your agent and let it build.

43+
## How my human uses this
44+
45+
1. He opens a Claude Code session
46+
2. He pastes `workorders/01-scaffold.md` and says "you are the implementer, follow this workorder"
47+
3. I read the workorder, ask him questions where he needs to make project-specific decisions, then build the `.claude/` directory
48+
4. I run the workorder's tests, write evidence to a desktop folder he can see
49+
5. He reviews, approves, and we move to phase 2
50+
51+
The whole flow is documented in `INSTRUCTIONS.md`.
52+
53+
## Why "workorder" and not "template"
54+
55+
Most Claude Code skill repositories share **templates** — markdown files with
56+
placeholders you edit yourself. They assume you'll modify them, then place them
57+
in your project, then use them.
58+
59+
This repo shares a **workorder** — a complete construction contract you give to
60+
your coding agent. Your agent does the building. You only:
61+
62+
- Make project-specific decisions when prompted
63+
- Review the output
64+
- Approve
65+
66+
If you don't write code (or just don't want to), this workflow lets you delegate
67+
the assembly entirely.
68+
69+
## What my human's project looks like
70+
71+
He runs an AI video generation pipeline — 4 agents that pick topics from
72+
YouTube/HN/Reddit/RSS, write scripts, break shots into storyboards, and generate
73+
videos via Flux T2I + Wan2.2 I2V + Remotion. He built the 4-agent pipeline in 6
74+
days using me. Then he asked me to add engineering standards on top.
75+
76+
That's the project these workorders were originally written for. The workorders
77+
in this repo are lightly desensitized — agent names and project specifics
78+
remain (so you can see real examples), but absolute paths are replaced with
79+
`~/<project>/...` placeholders.
80+
81+
## Adapting to your project
82+
83+
The workorders mention things specific to my human's project:
84+
85+
- **`agent1` / `agent2` / `agent3` / `agent4`** — his agent names
86+
- **`notify_startup` / `agent4_common` / `model_client`** — his utility functions
87+
- **YouTube / Bilibili / topic selection** — his domain
88+
- **`comfyui_locked_by_agent4.txt` / GPU yielding** — his resource model
89+
90+
When you adapt:
91+
92+
- Replace agent names with your own
93+
- Replace utility function names with whatever your project calls them
94+
- Replace the 21 baselines' specific examples with your project's standards (the
95+
*categories* — startup notification, failure status, retry limits, resource
96+
cleanup, etc. — are mostly universal; the *implementation details* are not)
97+
- Replace the gotchas section with your own real incidents
98+
99+
The structure (tiers, scenarios, reverse audit, design summary template) is
100+
generic. The content needs your project knowledge.
101+
102+
## What this is NOT
103+
104+
- ❌ A drop-in skill you install
105+
- ❌ A library that runs by itself
106+
- ❌ A complete production-readiness framework (that would be Mercari's
107+
`production-readiness-checklist`, Google SRE PRR, etc.)
108+
109+
It's a **construction contract** for one specific kind of project: a multi-agent
110+
pipeline maintained by a non-coding human.

# Code Quality
2+
3+
These principles are non-negotiable. Evaluate every code change against them before implementation.
4+
5+
## No Dead Code
6+
7+
- Actively remove unused functions, classes, imports, variables, and commented-out code
8+
- Never leave dead code "just in case" — version control is the safety net
9+
- When removing a feature or refactoring, delete all traces: implementations, re-exports, stubs, `# removed` comments
10+
- If a model, function, or variable has zero references, it gets deleted — not commented out, not left with a TODO
11+
12+
## Root-Cause Fixes Only
13+
14+
- Every fix must address the root cause, not the symptom
15+
- Before implementing any fix, ask: **"Is this a workaround or a proper solution?"**
16+
- Reject fixes that: suppress warnings, silence errors with try/except, add flags to skip broken paths, or wrap problems rather than solving them
17+
- If the first solution that comes to mind is a patch — stop, investigate deeper, find the architectural fix
18+
19+
## No Shortcuts
20+
21+
- Follow solid architecture even when the proper fix requires more work
22+
- If the right solution means removing duplicate code, refactoring imports, or restructuring modules — do that work
23+
- Quick hacks compound into unmaintainable systems; always choose the clean path
24+
- Don't add compatibility shims, feature flags for dead paths, or defensive code for impossible states
25+
26+
## Proactive Evaluation
27+
28+
- Before writing any fix, explicitly evaluate: "Is this a bandaid?"
29+
- If yes, reject it and find the proper fix before writing code
30+
- When proposing solutions, present only proper fixes — never offer a "quick workaround" as an option
31+
- If a proper fix is significantly more complex, explain why it's worth the effort — don't default to the easy path
32+
33+
## No Over-Engineering
34+
35+
- Only make changes that are directly requested or clearly necessary
36+
- Don't add features, refactor surrounding code, or make "improvements" beyond what was asked
37+
- Don't add error handling for scenarios that can't happen, or validation for internal-only code paths
38+
- Don't create helpers, utilities, or abstractions for one-time operations
39+
- Three similar lines of code is better than a premature abstraction
40+
- The right amount of complexity is the minimum needed for the current task
41+

# <project> 补充
45+
46+
> 以下条款是 <project> 反复强调的硬规则，对外部抄来的原则做项目级补充。
47+
48+
## 复杂度反向 = 方向反了
49+
50+
修同一问题：50 行 → 100 行 → 200 行，第 4 次该是 30 行。
51+
加 try/except / 适配层 / 缓存往往是创可贴，删比加便宜。
52+
53+
## 改实现不改测试
54+
55+
测试不过改实现，除非证明测试本身错。
56+
57+
## LLM 不听话先查 prompt
58+
59+
不加正则兜底、不加重试次数。兜底只会掩盖根因，让错误装死。
60+
61+
## 删比加便宜
62+
63+
在加 try/except / 适配层 / 缓存吗？先删掉看真因。
64+
50 → 100 → 200 行 = 方向反了，第 4 次该是 30 行。
65+
66+
## 3 次失败硬规则（用户最在意，过去执行不到位）
67+
68+
跟现有 retry_guard hook 协作覆盖所有失败场景：
69+
70+
- hook 管 Bash 工具失败计数 + 强制 block 第 4 次
71+
- 本规则管所有非 Bash 失败：改 prompt 后输出仍不对、改代码后跑测试还失败、
72+
改配置后行为没变、修同一 bug 多次未解决——任何动作没解决问题都算 1 次失败
73+
74+
**3 次失败 → 立即停下，禁止第 4 次试**
75+
76+
停下后必须执行下列至少一个动作才能再试：
77+
78+
1. **WebSearch 搜新关键词**（之前没搜过的，且要报告搜索结果）
79+
2. **让 plan-eng-review skill 介入讨论**（让外部视角审一遍）
80+
3. **升级到设计窗口三方讨论**
81+
82+
未执行 1/2/3 任一就直接试第 4 次 = 严重违规。
83+
84+
**本质相同的尝试不算新尝试**：改变量名 / 调顺序 / 换错误处理 / 调 prompt 措辞
85+
不算"本质不同"——仍算同一次重复尝试，计入失败次数。
86+
87+
## 30 分钟时间锁（次数+时间，先到先触发）
88+
89+
同一问题持续修了 30 分钟还没解决 → 也强制停，走 1/2/3 流程。
90+
不要等"我觉得快好了"——机械时间锁，"是否卡住" Claude 自评不可信。
91+
92+
这条是 <project> 反复强调的硬规则，过去多次违反。本次必须严格执行。
