Artifact-First Development + +**Principle**: All work produces durable, verifiable artifacts rather than ephemeral conversations. + +**Implementation**: +- Pull Requests (PRs) are the primary unit of work and evidence +- Every change must be committed, reviewed, and merged +- Conversations and decisions are captured in issues, ADRs, and journals +- No work is considered complete without a merged artifact + +**Example Application**: +``` +Instead of: "I fixed the bug, it works now" +Do this: Create PR with fix, tests, and documentation of root cause +``` + +### 2. Role Isolation and Separation of Concerns + +**Principle**: Each agent role has clearly defined responsibilities with minimal overlap and strict boundaries. + +**Implementation**: +- Individual GitHub Apps per role with minimal required permissions +- Agents cannot merge their own implementations +- Clear ownership matrices and authority boundaries +- Role cards define exact scope, non-goals, and collaboration patterns + +**Example Application**: +``` +PM Agent: Defines requirements and acceptance criteria +Coder Agent: Implements solution meeting criteria +Reviewer Agent: Validates implementation quality +QA Agent: Verifies functionality and tests +``` + +### 3. Research-Before-Code + +**Principle**: All implementation work must be preceded by structured research and evidence-based recommendations. This applies at **TWO levels**: +1. **Level 1 - Architectural Research** (research-agent, 2-8 hours): "Should we use this approach?" +2. **Level 2 - Documentation Lookup** (coder-agent, 2-5 minutes): "How do I use this library's current API?" + +**Implementation**: + +**Level 1 - Architectural Research:** +- Mandatory Research Agent analysis before any coding begins +- Structured research comments with evidence, findings, and advised solutions +- `research` label as a blocking gate for implementation +- Implementation must align with or justify deviations from research +- Time scale: 2-8 hours for feasibility, approach, and architecture decisions + +**Level 2 - Documentation Lookup:** +- Use WebSearch/WebFetch for official API documentation before using libraries +- Verify syntax/patterns against authoritative sources (not model memory) +- Check for breaking changes, new features, and current best practices +- Look up version-specific documentation matching your project +- Time scale: 2-5 minutes per library (prevents "cold start" coding from memory) + +**Why Two Levels:** +- **Level 1** addresses *unknown unknowns* (architectural risks, feasibility) +- **Level 2** addresses *known unknowns* (current API syntax, recent changes) +- Both prevent wasted implementation time from outdated assumptions + +**Example Application**: +``` +Task: Add authentication to API + +Level 1 - Architectural Research (research-agent, 4 hours): +- Analyze existing auth patterns, security requirements, compliance needs +- Compare JWT vs OAuth2 vs Passport.js approaches +- Evaluate security implications, scalability, maintenance burden +- Deliver recommendation: "Use Passport.js with JWT strategy" +β†’ Output: ADR documenting decision and rationale + +Level 2 - Documentation Lookup (coder-agent, 3 minutes): +- WebSearch "passport.js jwt strategy official documentation 2025" +- WebFetch https://www.passportjs.org/packages/passport-jwt/ +- Verify: Current version is 4.0.1, check for breaking changes from 3.x +- Review: Example code for JWT verification and token extraction +β†’ Output: Implementation using current, verified API patterns + +Result: Implementation informed by both architectural research (Level 1) +and current documentation (Level 2), avoiding both strategic and tactical errors. +``` + +### 4. Advisory-First Enforcement + +**Principle**: New policies and constraints are tested in advisory mode before becoming hard gates. + +**Implementation**: +- Shadow-mode validation for new rules and patterns +- Gradual rollout with confidence thresholds +- Evidence collection before enforcement +- Fallback and rollback mechanisms for all gates + +**Example Application**: +``` +New Rule: All PRs must have 90% test coverage +Phase 1: Report coverage but don't block (2 weeks) +Phase 2: Block if <70% coverage (2 weeks) +Phase 3: Enforce 90% threshold (ongoing) +``` + +### 5. Evidence-Based Decision Making + +**Principle**: All decisions must be supported by concrete evidence and measurable outcomes. + +**Implementation**: +- Performance budgets with measurement requirements +- Security scans and validation evidence +- Test coverage and quality metrics +- Documented trade-offs with quantified impacts + +**Example Application**: +``` +Decision: Choose between REST and GraphQL +Evidence Required: +- Latency benchmarks for typical queries +- Bundle size impact measurements +- Developer productivity metrics +- Maintenance cost analysis +``` + +### 6. Self-Improving Systems + +**Principle**: The system continuously learns from its operations and evolves based on evidence. + +**Implementation**: +- Comprehensive journaling of problems, decisions, and learnings +- Regular retrospectives and pattern identification +- Automated metrics collection and analysis +- Feedback loops from operations back to design + +**Example Application**: +``` +Problem: CI failures increasing +Journal: Document failure patterns +Analysis: Identify common root causes +Improvement: Add pre-commit checks for identified patterns +Measurement: Track CI failure rate reduction +``` + +### 7. Multi-Provider Resilience + +**Principle**: The system must operate reliably across multiple AI providers with graceful fallback. + +**Implementation**: +- Provider-agnostic interfaces and abstractions +- Automated failover between providers +- Rate limit awareness and throttling +- Provider-specific optimizations without vendor lock-in + +**Example Application**: +``` +Primary: OpenAI GPT-4 for complex reasoning +Fallback 1: Claude for continued operation +Fallback 2: Local models for basic functionality +Circuit Breaker: Automatic switching based on availability +``` + +### 8. GitHub-Native Integration + +**Principle**: Leverage GitHub platform primitives to minimize custom infrastructure and operational overhead. + +**Implementation**: +- GitHub Apps for authentication and authorization +- GitHub Actions for automation and workflows +- Issues and PRs for coordination and communication +- GitHub API for all programmatic interactions + +**Example Application**: +``` +Instead of: Custom task tracking system +Use: GitHub Issues with labels and milestones +Instead of: Custom CI/CD pipeline +Use: GitHub Actions with reusable workflows +``` + +### 9. Incremental Value Delivery + +**Principle**: All work should be broken into small, independently valuable increments. + +**Implementation**: +- Target 2-8 hour work increments for AI-accelerated development +- Each PR represents complete, testable functionality +- Continuous integration and deployment patterns +- Feature flags for gradual rollout + +**Example Application**: +``` +Feature: User Dashboard +Increment 1: Basic layout and navigation (2h) +Increment 2: User profile widget (3h) +Increment 3: Activity feed (4h) +Increment 4: Settings panel (2h) +Each increment is fully functional and deployable +``` + +### 10. Transparent Governance + +**Principle**: All decisions, processes, and constraints must be openly documented and auditable. + +**Implementation**: +- Public documentation of all policies and procedures +- Clear audit trails for all changes +- Role-based access controls with justification +- Regular governance reviews and updates + +**Example Application**: +``` +Decision: Change deployment frequency +Documentation: ADR with rationale +Audit Trail: Git history of decision +Review: Monthly governance meeting +Update: Adjust based on operational metrics +``` + +## How to Query Principles + +You can ask about specific principles or search across all principles: + +### Query by Number +"What is principle 5?" β†’ Returns Evidence-Based Decision Making + +### Query by Topic +"How does Wolf handle security?" β†’ Returns relevant principles (2, 5, 7) + +### Query by Implementation +"How to make decisions?" β†’ Returns principles 3, 5, 6 + +### Get All Principles +"Show all principles" β†’ Returns complete list with summaries + +## Principle Conflicts Resolution + +When principles appear to conflict, use this priority order: + +1. **Security and Safety** (Principles 2, 7) +2. **Evidence and Quality** (Principles 3, 5, 6) +3. **Operational Efficiency** (Principles 1, 8, 9) +4. **Governance and Compliance** (Principles 4, 10) + +## Integration with Other Skills + +- **wolf-archetypes**: Principles inform archetype behavior +- **wolf-roles**: Each role implements relevant principles +- **wolf-governance**: Principles guide governance rules + +## Scripts Available + +- `query.js` - Search principles by ID, keyword, or topic +- `apply.js` - Generate principle-based recommendations for specific scenarios + +## Evolution and Updates + +These principles evolve based on operational evidence. Changes require: +1. Evidence collection showing insufficiency +2. Impact analysis on existing systems +3. Community review from all roles +4. Advisory-first deployment +5. Post-implementation assessment + +## Red Flags - STOP + +If you catch yourself thinking: + +- ❌ **"This is too simple to need principles"** - Simple decisions cascade.
