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:

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?

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"

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'."
