AIWG v2026.2.12 — "Doc Sync & Accelerate" Release

Released: 2026-02-26

Two major new commands bring documentation hygiene and SDLC pipeline acceleration to the framework. This release also removes all vendor-specific HashiCorp references, corrects CLI reference accuracy, and adds 24 integration tests for the new accelerate pipeline.

Highlights

What changedWhy you care
`aiwg doc-sync` commandDetect and auto-fix documentation-code drift with parallel auditors
`aiwg sdlc-accelerate` commandGo from idea to construction-ready with a single command
HashiCorp references removedFramework is now vendor-neutral for infrastructure tooling
CLI reference correctedCommand counts and categories match the actual 42-command inventory
24 new integration testsFull coverage for accelerate pipeline logic

Doc-Sync Command

The new `doc-sync` command orchestrates documentation-code synchronization through three modes:

# Audit drift without making changes
aiwg doc-sync code-to-docs --dry-run

# Sync documentation to match code (auto-fix what's safe)
aiwg doc-sync code-to-docs

# Full bidirectional reconciliation with human decisions
aiwg doc-sync full --interactive

How It Works

1. Wave 1: 8 domain auditors run in parallel — each auditor compares a documentation domain against its code source of truth 2. Wave 2: 4 cross-reference checks validate mentions, claims, traceability, and internal links 3. Triage: Findings categorized as auto-fixable, template-fixable (Ralph refinement), or human-required 4. Auto-fix: Safe fixes applied using documented patterns with safety checks 5. Ralph refinement: Template-fixable items go through iterative improvement 6. Validation: Re-run checks to confirm fixes didn't introduce regressions

Domain Auditors

AuditorWhat It Checks
cli-ref-auditorCommand counts, sections, argument hints, descriptions
extension-type-auditorType definitions, fields, registry capabilities
provider-auditorProvider table, deployment paths, model mappings
skill-auditorSkill counts, inventory entries, trigger phrases
agent-auditorAgent counts, descriptions, model assignments
config-auditorSchemas, defaults, environment variables
readme-auditorVersion, install instructions, feature list
changelog-auditorVersion sections, tag matching, dates

Auto-Fix Categories

Five categories of drift can be automatically corrected with safety checks:

1. Numeric claims — count mismatches (e.g., "40 commands" when there are 42) 2. Table entries — missing rows, extra rows, mismatched values 3. Argument hints — documented hints vs code `argumentHint` fields 4. Broken internal links — moved/renamed files, changed anchors 5. Broken @-mentions — unresolvable file references

SDLC Accelerate Command

The `sdlc-accelerate` command orchestrates the full SDLC ramp-up pipeline from a project idea to a construction-ready brief:

# From a description
aiwg sdlc-accelerate "Customer portal with real-time chat"

# From an existing codebase
aiwg sdlc-accelerate --from-codebase .

# Resume a previous run
aiwg sdlc-accelerate --resume

# Preview the pipeline without executing
aiwg sdlc-accelerate "My project" --dry-run

Pipeline Phases

Intake → LOM Gate → Elaboration → ABM Gate → Construction Prep → Brief

Each phase:

  • Delegates to existing SDLC commands (intake-wizard, flow-concept-to-inception, flow-gate-check, etc.)
  • Records state in `.aiwg/reports/accelerate-state.json`
  • Gates produce PASS/CONDITIONAL/FAIL results with appropriate actions
  • The pipeline is resumable — interrupted runs pick up where they left off

Gate Behavior

Gate ResultAction
PASSAuto-proceed to next phase
CONDITIONALPresent findings, ask user to proceed/remediate
FAILBlock with remediate/waiver/abort options

State Schema

The accelerate state schema (`accelerate-state.yaml`) defines:

  • Phase lifecycle: `pending → in_progress → completed / skipped / failed`
  • Gate results with score, findings, and severity levels
  • Decision log for gate waivers and overrides
  • Timestamps for audit trail

HashiCorp Reference Removal

All vendor-specific HashiCorp references have been replaced with generic equivalents across 16 files:

BeforeAfter
HashiCorp VaultSecret management service
TerraformInfrastructure-as-Code tool
ConsulService mesh / service discovery
PackerMachine image builder
`terraform-aws-modules``registry/aws-modules`

Files updated include agent definitions (cloud-architect, devops-engineer, security-auditor), security templates, deployment templates, legal templates, and toolsmith configs.

CLI Reference Corrections

The CLI reference now accurately reflects the 42-command inventory:

  • Ralph category corrected: 7 → 4 commands (removed 3 non-existent entries)
  • Added missing categories: Metrics (3), Documentation (1), SDLC Orchestration (1), Reproducibility (4)
  • Total corrected: 36 → 42

Integration Tests

24 new tests in `test/integration/sdlc-accelerate.test.ts` cover:

  • Command definition metadata validation
  • Entry point detection (intake-wizard, intake-from-codebase, resume, skip-to)
  • Phase resume logic (next pending/in-progress phase, all-completed detection)
  • Gate handling (PASS→proceed, CONDITIONAL→ask, CONDITIONAL+auto→proceed, FAIL→block)
  • State file management (initialization, phase updates, decision recording)
  • Dry-run plan generation with delegate commands
