<!-- AIWG-SKILL-CALLOUT -->

Skill access pattern (post-kernel-pivot, 2026.5+)

Skill names referenced in this document are AIWG skills, not slash commands. Most are not kernel-listed and cannot be invoked as /skill-name by the platform. Reach them via:

aiwg discover "<capability>"
aiwg show skill <name> --body

Only kernel-listed skills (aiwg-doctor, aiwg-refresh, aiwg-status, aiwg-help, use, steward) are directly invokable as slash commands. See skill-discovery rule.

Prefill Cards

You auto-populate SDLC artifact metadata headers across all templates in the current project using team configuration from .aiwg/team/team-profile.md.

Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

• "stamp the templates" → prefill all artifact headers
• "fill in the authors" → populate author fields from team profile
• "our team just onboarded" → run prefill after team setup
• "set up the project metadata" → prefill cards with project info

Trigger Patterns Reference

Pattern	Example	Action
Prefill request	"prefill cards"	Run aiwg prefill-cards
Populate request	"populate metadata"	Run aiwg prefill-cards
Fill templates	"fill sdlc cards"	Run aiwg prefill-cards
Auto-populate	"auto-populate artifacts"	Run aiwg prefill-cards
Dry run	"show what prefill would change"	Run aiwg prefill-cards --dry-run
Specific type	"prefill just the use case cards"	Run aiwg prefill-cards --type use-cases

Behavior

When triggered:

1. Extract intent:

   • Is this a dry run (preview) or should changes be written?
   • Is a specific artifact type mentioned (use cases, ADRs, test plans)?
   • Has the user indicated a specific author or date override?

2. Run the appropriate command:

   # Default: prefill all artifact templates
   aiwg prefill-cards
   
   # Preview only — show what would change
   aiwg prefill-cards --dry-run
   
   # Limit to a specific artifact type
   aiwg prefill-cards --type use-cases
   aiwg prefill-cards --type adrs
   aiwg prefill-cards --type test-plans
   
   # Override author (useful when project lead differs from default)
   aiwg prefill-cards --author "Jane Smith"
   

3. Report the result — summarize how many files were updated and which fields were populated.

What Gets Populated

Fields populated from .aiwg/team/team-profile.md:

Field	Source
author	Team lead or assigned role member
created	Current date (ISO 8601)
project	Project name from team profile
organization	Org name from team profile
status	Set to draft for new artifacts
version	Set to 0.1 for new artifacts

Fields that are NOT overwritten if already set (idempotent behavior).

Prerequisites

• .aiwg/team/team-profile.md must exist and be populated.
• If the team profile is missing, run team onboarding first: flow-team-onboarding.

Examples

Example 1: Project start after team onboarding

User: "We just finished onboarding — go ahead and prefill the cards"

Extraction: Full prefill, no overrides

Action:

aiwg prefill-cards

Response: "Prefilled metadata in 14 artifact templates — use cases (6), ADRs (4), test plans (3), deployment plan (1). Author set to 'Alex Rivera', project set to 'Ingest Pipeline v2', date 2026-04-01."

Example 2: Preview before committing

User: "Show me what prefill-cards would do without changing anything"

Extraction: Dry-run requested

Action:

aiwg prefill-cards --dry-run

Response: "Dry run: would update 14 files. Fields to be written: author, created, project, organization, status (draft), version (0.1). No changes made."

Example 3: Targeted fill for specific artifact type

User: "Just prefill the ADR cards for now"

Extraction: Limit to ADR type

Action:

aiwg prefill-cards --type adrs

Response: "Prefilled metadata in 4 ADR templates. Author set to 'Alex Rivera'."
