Refresh AIWG Deployment

Update the AIWG CLI and/or redeploy frameworks, agents, commands, and tools to the current project without leaving the agentic session.

Use Cases

• After AIWG updates: Get latest framework features without restarting
• After switching branches: Ensure deployed content matches expectations
• After manual edits: Restore canonical AIWG content
• Provider switch: Redeploy for different platform (Claude → Factory)
• Model selection: Redeploy with different AI models for each tier

--all

--sdlc

--marketing

--utils

--provider <name>

--reasoning-model <name>

--coding-model <name>

--efficiency-model <name>

--filter <pattern>

*architect*

--filter-role <role>

--save

--force

--dry-run

Execution Steps

Step 1: Show Current Status

Run status check and report current state:

aiwg -status

Report:

AIWG Refresh - Current Status
==============================

CLI Version: 1.2.3 (stable channel)
Workspace: /path/to/project/.aiwg

Installed Frameworks:
  - sdlc-complete v1.0.0 (58 agents, 48 commands)
  - aiwg-utils v1.0.0 (3 agents, 25 commands)

Platform: Claude Code (.claude/)
  - Agents: 61 deployed
  - Commands: 73 deployed

Step 2: Update CLI (if --update-cli)

If

--update-cli

aiwg -update

Report update status:

Checking for updates...
  Current: 1.2.3
  Latest:  1.2.5

Updating AIWG CLI...
✓ Updated to v1.2.5

Changes in v1.2.5:
  - New mutation-analyst agent
  - Testing-quality addon
  - Bug fixes

If already up-to-date:

AIWG CLI is up-to-date (v1.2.3)

Step 3: Determine What to Redeploy

Based on flags, determine scope:

--all

--sdlc

--marketing

--utils

If no framework flags and not

--dry-run

What would you like to refresh?

[1] All frameworks (sdlc-complete, aiwg-utils)
[2] SDLC framework only
[3] Utils addon only
[4] Just show status (no changes)

Choice:

Step 4: Detect Target Platform

If

--provider

1. Check existing deployments:

   • .claude/agents/

     exists → claude

   • .factory/droids/

     exists → factory

   • .codex/agents/

     exists → openai

   • .cursor/rules/

     exists → cursor

2. If multiple detected, ask user:

   Multiple platforms detected:
   [1] Claude Code (.claude/)
   [2] Factory AI (.factory/)
   
   Which platform to refresh?
   

3. If none detected, default to claude

Report:

Target platform: Claude Code
Deployment paths:
  - Agents: .claude/agents/
  - Commands: .claude/commands/

Step 5: Execute Redeploy

For each framework to deploy:

# SDLC Framework
aiwg use sdlc --provider <platform> --force [model-flags] [filter-flags]

# Marketing Framework
aiwg use marketing --provider <platform> --force [model-flags] [filter-flags]

# Utils (included with sdlc)
# No separate command needed

Model flags (if specified):

• --reasoning-model <name>

  - applies to all opus-tier agents

• --coding-model <name>

  - applies to all sonnet-tier agents

• --efficiency-model <name>

  - applies to all haiku-tier agents

Filter flags (if specified):

• --filter <pattern>

  - only deploys matching agents

• --filter-role <role>

  - only deploys agents of specified role

If

--dry-run

Dry Run - Would execute:
========================

1. aiwg use sdlc --provider claude --force --reasoning-model opus-4-2
   → Deploy 58 agents to .claude/agents/ (reasoning tier with opus-4-2)
   → Deploy 48 commands to .claude/commands/

2. aiwg use marketing --provider claude --force --reasoning-model opus-4-2
   → Deploy 37 agents to .claude/agents/ (reasoning tier with opus-4-2)
   → Deploy 20 commands to .claude/commands/

No changes made (dry run mode)

Progress Reporting:

Refreshing AIWG Deployment

  → Copying 12 templates...
  ✓ sdlc-complete deployed

[2/2] Deploying aiwg-utils...

Step 6: Verify Deployment

After deployment, verify:

# Count deployed assets
ls .claude/agents/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l
ls .claude/commands/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l

Report:

Examples

# Check status only
/aiwg-refresh

/aiwg-refresh --all --reasoning-model claude-opus-4-2

# Redeploy with custom models for all tiers
/aiwg-refresh --all --reasoning-model opus-4-2 --coding-model sonnet-5 --efficiency-model haiku-4

# Redeploy and save model selection for future deploys
/aiwg-refresh --all --coding-model claude-sonnet-5-0 --save

# Only update architect agents with new reasoning model
/aiwg-refresh --sdlc --filter "*architect*" --reasoning-model opus-4-2

# Only update reasoning-tier agents
/aiwg-refresh --all --filter-role reasoning --reasoning-model custom-reasoning

Natural Language Triggers

This command should activate when user says:

• "refresh aiwg" / "update aiwg"
• "redeploy frameworks" / "redeploy agents"
• "get latest aiwg features"
• "update my aiwg tools"
• "sync aiwg deployment"
• "change agent models" / "switch to opus" / "use different model"
• "redeploy with custom models"
• "update reasoning agents" / "update architect agents"

Error Handling

Post-Refresh Recommendations

After refresh, suggest:

Recommended next steps:
1. Review new features: aiwg -help
2. Check framework docs: /aiwg-kb sdlc
3. Run health check: aiwg doctor
