Closes an aiwf epic — verifies all milestones done, scaffolds a wrap artefact, harvests ADR candidates, runs scoped doc-lint, merges the epic branch into mainline with a trailered merge commit, promotes the epic to done. Use when the user says "wrap E-NN" or "close the auth epic" and every milestone in the epic is wrapped. Commit and push require explicit human approval.
Closes an aiwf milestone — verifies all ACs met, runs scoped doc-lint, finalizes the milestone spec's wrap-side sections, promotes status to done, prepares the wrap commit. Use when the user says "wrap M-NNNN" or "finish the cache milestone" and the readiness check per `aiwfx-start-milestone` has passed. Commit and push require explicit human approval.
The aiwf per-repo code-health ritual — the whole-codebase companion to wf-review-code's per-diff gate. A stack-agnostic field guide of code-health principles: module boundaries, contracts, data discipline, tests that pin behavior, errors/logs/audit, reasoning aids, operational properties. Use when designing a new module, planning a refactor, reviewing a non-trivial diff, writing a spec that introduces new boundaries, or scoring an inherited codebase Strong/Weak/Missing with file:line evidence. These are advisory forces, not rules — consult them, don't enforce them; the project's own conventions win.
Sets up and begins an aiwf milestone — preflight checks, branch setup, status promotion to in_progress, then iterative TDD via wf-tdd-cycle. Use when the user says "start milestone M-NNNN" or "implement M-NNNN" and a draft milestone spec exists. Commits and pushes require explicit human approval.
Use when terminal-status entities have accumulated in the active tree and the operator wants to sweep them into per-kind `archive/` subdirs, or when `aiwf check` reports `archive-sweep-pending`. Explains dry-run vs `--apply`, the no-reverse rule, the `archive.sweep_threshold` knob, merge edge cases, and the per-kind storage layout.
Use when the user wants to edit (rewrite or replace) the markdown body of an existing entity — goal/scope/context prose, AC body sections inside a milestone, ADR rationale, gap problem statement, etc. Runs `aiwf edit-body` so the change rides through a verb route with proper trailers, instead of a plain `git commit` that triggers a `provenance-untrailered-entity-commit` warning.

| description | Use when a human wants to delegate autonomous work on an entity to an AI assistant or other non-human agent — opening, pausing, resuming, or ending an authorization scope. |
The aiwf authorize verb opens, pauses, or resumes an authorization scope — the kernel's typed lifecycle for "this human authorizes this agent to act on this entity." Without an active scope, the kernel refuses non-human actors at verb time and aiwf check flags any commit they produced as provenance-no-active-scope.
The user says something like "go ahead and implement E-NNNN", "work on the cache milestone autonomously", or "pause your work on E-NNNN while I review". Authorization is the verb that records that handoff so subsequent agent commits carry trailers proving the human authorized them.
When the user is just dictating individual changes turn-by-turn ("add a gap that says X", "promote M-NNNN to in_progress"), no authorization is needed — the human is the principal, the assistant is a tool, and verbs run with --actor human/<id> as if the human typed them. See Tool vs. agent below.
aiwf authorize <id> --to <agent> # open scope
aiwf authorize <id> --to <agent> --reason "..." # open scope with optional rationale
aiwf authorize <id> --pause "<reason>" # pause the most-recently-opened active scope
aiwf authorize <id> --resume "<reason>" # resume the most-recently-paused scope
<id> is the entity the scope authorizes work on (the scope-entity). <agent> is the operator's full id, conventionally ai/claude, bot/ci, etc. — anything that doesn't start with human/.
The verb requires a human actor. aiwf authorize invoked by an agent refuses with a usage error; only humans can grant authority.
The provenance model distinguishes two modes for non-human operators:
Tool mode (HITL). The human is in the conversation, dictating changes. The assistant is a tool; verbs run with --actor ai/<id> --principal human/<id> (or just --actor human/<id> if the assistant is invoking on the human's behalf). No scope, no aiwf-authorized-by: trailer. The trailer set is aiwf-actor: + aiwf-principal: only.
Agent mode (autonomous). The human authorized the assistant to operate without per-verb approval. Open a scope with aiwf authorize <id> --to ai/<id>. Subsequent verbs run with --actor ai/<id> --principal human/<id> and the kernel matches the most-recently-opened active scope, decorating each commit with aiwf-on-behalf-of: human/<id> and aiwf-authorized-by: <auth-sha>.
The right mode is the one the user signalled. "implement this end-to-end" → agent mode. "add this gap" → tool mode.
A scope's state machine has three states: active, paused, ended.
--to opens a new scope in state active. The commit's SHA is the scope id; subsequent verbs inside the scope reference it via aiwf-authorized-by:.--pause "<reason>" flips the most-recently-opened active scope on <id> to paused. While paused, agent verbs targeting the scope refuse with provenance-no-active-scope until the scope is resumed.--resume "<reason>" flips the most-recently-paused scope back to active.promote <id> <terminal-state> on the scope-entity (e.g., aiwf promote E-03 done) auto-ends every active scope on that entity by writing one aiwf-scope-ends: <auth-sha> trailer per scope. Ended is terminal — un-cancelling a scope-entity does not resurrect a previously-ended scope. Issue a fresh aiwf authorize instead.--to against a terminal scope-entity: refuses unless --force --reason "..." is set. Override is meaningful — it lets a human resurrect work on a cancelled entity by issuing a new authorization (the original ended scope stays ended).--pause with no active scope on the entity: nothing to pause; the verb refuses.--resume with no paused scope on the entity: nothing to resume.aiwf authorize is human-only. Per the kernel's "force is sovereign" rule, only humans can grant authority. (G23 reserves a future --allow-force for delegated force; sub-agent delegation is G22.)After the scope is open, ordinary aiwf check rules apply to subsequent agent commits. If the LLM hits one, look at the finding code to know what went wrong:
| Finding | Meaning |
|---|---|
provenance-no-active-scope | the agent ran a verb without a matching active scope. Open one with aiwf authorize, or run the verb as the human directly. |
provenance-authorization-out-of-scope | the verb's target entity has no reference path to the scope-entity. Either authorize the right entity or work on something the existing scope already reaches. |
provenance-authorization-ended | the scope was already ended (terminal-promote / revoke). Open a fresh scope with a new aiwf authorize. |
provenance-authorization-missing | the aiwf-authorized-by: SHA didn't resolve. Usually a typo or a force-pushed reference. |
provenance-trailer-incoherent | the trailer set violated a required-together / mutually-exclusive rule. Often: a non-human actor without --principal, or a human actor with a stray --principal. |
--to / --pause / --resume (mutually exclusive).--to: confirms the scope-entity is non-terminal (or --force is set with a reason).--pause / --resume: confirms the source state exists.aiwf-scope: opened|paused|resumed.--actor ai/<id> --principal human/<id>.--force to make agent commits authoritative without a scope. --force is a human override; agent verbs need a scope to stand up.
