Guides
Practical guides for getting started with and deepening your understanding of Workscope-Dev.
Getting Started
Core Concepts
Understanding Workscopes
How WSD organizes work into trackable, immutable assignments using checkboxlists and phases.
Work Plan Documents
How WSD organizes project plans into a navigable hierarchy of executable documents.
The Documentation System
How WSD organizes project information into a structured hierarchy that enables agents to find the right context at the right time.
The Agent Team
Meet the specialized AI agents that prepare, validate, and enforce quality in your WSD workflow.
The Rules Architecture
How WSD distributes guardrails across specialized locations instead of cramming everything into a single rules file.
Design Mode and Compilation Mode
The two fundamentally different modes of working with WSD, and the prompt practices that power Design Mode.
Daily Workflow
Organizing Your Project
Structure your Action Plan, create feature specifications, manage tickets, and use the workbench.
The Implementation Loop
The daily rhythm of workscope cycles, git practices, and agent tuning that defines life with WSD.
Developer Tools
The WSD task runner, health checks, and code documentation tools that support your development workflow.
How Projects Evolve
What changes as your WSD project matures — from first workscopes through long-term development.
Advanced
Karpathy Scripts
The hybrid programming pattern that combines natural language instructions with deterministic code for reliable, repeatable AI operations.
Advanced Techniques
Parallel workscopes, deep review, in-flight failures, IDE pairing, and prompt processing for power users.
Beyond Code
Using WSD for research, writing, planning, and multi-language projects.
Managing Your Installation
Update WSD, preserve your customizations, and cleanly remove WSD when needed.
Special Keywords
A set of terminology, concepts, and design principles that you can use by name in your specs and conversations with WSD agents.
