About w-build
w-build is a Basilic workflow skill for implementing a clear request or existing plan in a repository. It emphasizes repository conventions, focused checks, preserving unrelated changes, and documenting behavior changes.
Key features
- 01Reviews repository instructions and relevant docs
- 02Implements a complete slice using existing patterns
- 03Runs the smallest relevant check
- 04Investigates check failures
- 05Updates documentation when behavior changes
Use cases
- 01Implementing a planned repository change
- 02Adding a regression check for a logic defect
- 03Updating docs after behavior or command changes
Install

Details
From the project READMEUse an existing plan or a sufficiently clear implementation request. Read repository instructions, affected README/scripts, matching rules and skills, and technical docs. Resolve consequential decisions from matching docs; ask a human for product scope, secrets, or destructive operations. Do not commit.
- Inspect the working tree and identify the files owned by this task. State the acceptance conditions; preserve unrelated changes. If there is no plan and the area spans packages or is unfamiliar, follow council steps 1–3 first.
- Implement one complete slice using existing packages and patterns. Change owning schemas and run documented generators instead of editing generated clients or migrations.
- Run the smallest existing check for this change. A reproducible logic defect should have a regression check; use TDD when requested or required by the repository, not as a ritual for prose edits. Never the full pre-push suite (
/w-shipowns that). - Investigate failed checks before building dependent work. Separate regressions caused here from pre-existing or environmental failures; never weaken checks to obtain a pass.
- If behavior, commands, or conventions changed, update matching MDX and nearest README; otherwise one line why not.
