Directive Preset System Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Replace the single flat current_baseline.md preset with a layered preset system: a curated baseline.md (57 directives + 4 non-directive context files), 12 engagement presets that inherit baseline, 15 new op-specific directives, a deduplicated .warm.md, and an extended aggregate tool that resolves ## Inherits and surfaces ## Non-directive context.

Architecture: The aggregate tool (scripts/aggregate_directives.py) is extended to parse two new preset sections (## Inherits and ## Non-directive context), recursively flatten the parent's directives + non-directive files into the child's list (dedup on path), read each directive's v1.md and each non-directive file's full body, and return one concatenated blob. Preset files are markdown (no YAML/TOML). Engagement presets list only their targeted additions; baseline provides the foundation.

Tech Stack: Python 3.11+, 1-space indent, type hints, @dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True) for any new data types, re for preset parsing, pathlib.Path for file I/O, pytest for tests.

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-05-directive-preset-system-design.md

File Structure

Files to create:

conductor/directives/presets/baseline.md — curated 57 BASELINE directives + 4 non-directive context files

conductor/directives/presets/implement_feature.md — inherits baseline, adds testing + APP subsets
conductor/directives/presets/refactor.md — inherits baseline, adds testing + 2 refactor
conductor/directives/presets/new_script_tool.md — inherits baseline, adds 2 script directives

15 new directive directories under conductor/directives/<name>/ each with v1.md + meta.md
tests/test_aggregate_directives_presets.py — tests for Inherits + Non-directive context

Files to modify:

scripts/aggregate_directives.py — add ## Inherits resolution + ## Non-directive context section parsing + output
conductor/directives/tags.toml — add 15 new directive entries
conductor/directives/presets/current_baseline.md — mark deprecated in Notes
conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.warm.md — strip inline sections covered by directives, update preset path
scripts/tier2/setup_tier2_clone_directives.ps1 — change -PresetPath default to tier2_autonomous.md

Phase 1: Extend aggregate_directives.py (Inherits + Non-directive context)

Focus: Add ## Inherits recursive resolution and ## Non-directive context file reading to the aggregate tool. TDD — write failing tests first, implement to pass.

Phase 2: Create baseline preset + verify

Focus: Write baseline.md with the 57 BASELINE directives + 4 non-directive context files. Verify the aggregate tool resolves it correctly against the real repo.

Task 2.1: Create baseline.md

Files:

Create: conductor/directives/presets/baseline.md
Step 1: Write baseline.md

Create conductor/directives/presets/baseline.md:

# Preset: baseline

The curated baseline — directives required to do anything in the codebase without creating entropy. Type promotion, edit discipline, git hard bans, research-first, error handling, state management, process anti-patterns. Excludes anything tier-specific, app-subsystem-specific, testing-specific, documentation-specific, or meta-directive. Engagement presets inherit this and add targeted subsets.

## Non-directive context
Read each file below as full documents (NOT as directives — these carry product/tech/architecture context the directives reinforce but do not fully encode).

- project rules: AGENTS.md
- product vision: conductor/product.md
- product guidelines: conductor/product-guidelines.md
- tech stack: conductor/tech-stack.md

## Notes
The 57 BASELINE directives — rules required to do anything in the codebase without creating entropy. Classification based on the 2026-07-05 audit of all 172 directives (see docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-05-directive-preset-system-design.md §2.4). The 4 non-directive context files are the product/tech docs agents tend to skip. Replaces current_baseline.md as the curated default; current_baseline.md is retained as the original control group.

Step 2: Verify the aggregate resolves baseline.md correctly

Run: uv run python scripts/aggregate_directives.py conductor/directives/presets/baseline.md -o tests/artifacts/_pytest_tmp/agg_baseline_test.txt Expected: exit 0, output file contains 57 directive sections + 1 NON-DIRECTIVE CONTEXT section with AGENTS.md, product.md, product-guidelines.md, tech-stack.md bodies.

Step 3: Verify the directive count is exactly 57

Run: uv run python -c "from pathlib import Path; import sys; sys.path.insert(0, 'scripts'); from aggregate_directives import resolve_inheritance; s = resolve_inheritance(Path('conductor/directives/presets/baseline.md')); print(len(s.directives)); print(len(s.non_directive_context))" Expected: 57 then 4.

Step 4: Commit

git add conductor/directives/presets/baseline.md
git commit -m "feat(directives): add curated baseline.md preset (57 BASELINE + 4 non-directive context)"

Phase 3: Create 15 new op-specific directives

Focus: Create the 15 new directives that fill engagement-preset gaps. Each follows the existing <name>/v1.md + meta.md convention. These are new rules (no prior source to verbatim-lift); the meta.md records "new rule, no prior source."

Task 3.1: Create the 3 audit directives

Files:

Create: conductor/directives/audit_script_as_gate/v1.md + meta.md
Create: conductor/directives/audit_walks_filesystem_fresh/v1.md + meta.md
Create: conductor/directives/baseline_capture_before_work/v1.md + meta.md
Step 1: Write audit_script_as_gate

Create conductor/directives/audit_script_as_gate/v1.md:

# Audit scripts that classify or summarize must have a `--strict` quality gate that exits 1 on regression

## What it says

Every audit script in `scripts/audit_*.py` that produces classified output (weak types, exception handling, tier2 leaks, etc.) MUST implement a `--strict` mode that exits non-zero when the audit finds violations. The default mode (no `--strict`) is informational — it prints a human-readable report and exits 0. The `--strict` mode is the CI gate.

## Why

An audit without a gate is a suggestion. An audit with a `--strict` gate is a convention enforced before merge. The project's 4 existing audit scripts (`audit_weak_types.py`, `audit_exception_handling.py`, `audit_main_thread_imports.py`, `audit_no_models_config_io.py`) all follow this pattern. New audit scripts MUST follow it too.

## The pattern

```python
def main() -> int:
 parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
 parser.add_argument("--strict", action="store_true", help="Exit 1 on any violation")
 parser.add_argument("--json", action="store_true", help="Machine-readable output")
 args = parser.parse_args()
 violations = run_audit()
 if args.json:
  print(json.dumps(violations))
 else:
  print_human_report(violations)
 if args.strict and violations:
  return 1
 return 0

WRONG: one phase, two subsystems

Phase 1: refactor ai_client.py type promotion + refactor mcp_client.py type promotion

RIGHT: two phases, one subsystem each

Phase 1: refactor ai_client.py type promotion Phase 2: refactor mcp_client.py type promotion


## See also

- `conductor/directives/atomic_per_task_commits` — one task = one commit
- `conductor/directives/scope_creep_track_doc_ban` — scope creep is banned

Create conductor/directives/refactor_one_subsystem_per_phase/meta.md:

# refactor_one_subsystem_per_phase

## v1

**Why this iteration:** New rule, no prior source. Extends `atomic_per_task_commits` to the refactor phase granularity.
**Source:** new rule

**Lifted:** 2026-07-05

Step 3: Commit

git add conductor/directives/refactor_preserves_behavior/ conductor/directives/refactor_one_subsystem_per_phase/
git commit -m "feat(directives): add 2 refactor directives (preserves-behavior, one-subsystem-per-phase)"

Task 3.4: Create the 2 new_script_tool directives

Files:

Create: conductor/directives/scripts_namespace_isolated/v1.md + meta.md
Create: conductor/directives/scripts_audit_pattern/v1.md + meta.md
Step 1: Write scripts_namespace_isolated

Create conductor/directives/scripts_namespace_isolated/v1.md:

# Scripts are namespace-isolated by directory — no `from scripts.foo import bar` across script dirs

## What it says

Script directories (`scripts/`, `scripts/tier2/`, `scripts/audit/`, `scripts/tier2/artifacts/`) are namespace-isolated. A script in one directory MUST NOT import from a script in another directory. Scripts are not a package; they are standalone tools.

## Why

Scripts are throw-away or single-purpose tools. If `scripts/audit_weak_types.py` imports from `scripts/tier2/failcount.py`, then `audit_weak_types.py` depends on the tier2 sandbox's internal state. The dependency makes the audit script fragile (it breaks if tier2 moves) and the tier2 scripts less isolated (they're now part of a graph, not standalone).

## The pattern

```python
# WRONG: cross-directory import
from scripts.tier2.failcount import should_give_up

# RIGHT: copy the needed function into the script, or factor it into src/

Phase 4: Create 12 engagement presets

Focus: Write the 12 engagement preset files that inherit baseline and add their targeted subsets. Each is a markdown file with ## Inherits, ## Directives to warm, ## Non-directive context, and ## Notes.

Task 4.1: Create audit.md, fix_tests.md, new_script_tool.md, meta_tooling.md

Files:

Create: conductor/directives/presets/audit.md

## Non-directive context
Read each file below as full documents.

- tier2 autonomous guide: docs/guide_tier2_autonomous.md

## Notes
Compound preset for Tier-2 autonomous sandbox execution. Inherits baseline (57) + adds 20 TARGETED:tier2-sandbox + 23 TARGETED:testing + 8 PROCESS:delegation. Total: 108 directives + 5 non-directive context files (4 inherited + 1 added). This is the preset `tier2-autonomous.warm.md` warms with.

Step 4: Verify each engagement preset resolves correctly via aggregate

Run: uv run python -c "from pathlib import Path; import sys; sys.path.insert(0, 'scripts'); from aggregate_directives import resolve_inheritance; [print(f'{n}: {len(resolve_inheritance(Path(f\"conductor/directives/presets/{n}.md\")).directives)} directives') for n in ['baseline','audit','fix_tests','implement_feature','refactor','new_script_tool','meta_tooling','directives_curation','documentation','media_analysis','ideation','tier2_autonomous']]" Expected: baseline=57, audit=60, fix_tests=82, implement_feature=109, refactor=82, new_script_tool=59, meta_tooling=59, directives_curation=64, documentation=61, media_analysis=59, ideation=65, tier2_autonomous=108.

Step 5: Commit

git add conductor/directives/presets/media_analysis.md conductor/directives/presets/ideation.md conductor/directives/presets/tier2_autonomous.md
git commit -m "feat(directives): add 3 engagement presets (media_analysis, ideation, tier2_autonomous)"

Task 4.4: Mark current_baseline.md deprecated

Files:

Modify: conductor/directives/presets/current_baseline.md (Notes section only)
Step 1: Update the Notes section of current_baseline.md

In conductor/directives/presets/current_baseline.md, replace the ## Notes section's first line. Find the line starting with All v1 (verbatim lifts from current production docs; and prepend a deprecation notice above it:

Insert at the start of the Notes section (after ## Notes):

**DEPRECATED (2026-07-05):** This preset is the original control group from the `directive_hotswap_harness_20260627` track. It lists all 172 directives indiscriminately. The curated replacement is `baseline.md` (57 BASELINE directives + 4 non-directive context files). Engagement presets (`audit.md`, `fix_tests.md`, etc.) inherit `baseline.md` and add targeted subsets. This file is RETAINED as the original control group for future A/B encoding experiments — do not delete. New agents should warm with `baseline.md` or an engagement preset, not this file.

Step 2: Commit

git add conductor/directives/presets/current_baseline.md
git commit -m "docs(directives): mark current_baseline.md deprecated (retained as control group)"

Phase 5: Dedup .warm.md + update bootstrap default

Focus: Strip the inline bulk-markdown sections from tier2-autonomous.warm.md that are now covered by directives. Update the preset path to tier2_autonomous.md. Update the bootstrap script's default.

Task 5.1: Dedup tier2-autonomous.warm.md

Files:

Modify: conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.warm.md
Step 1: Update the warm-with preset path

In conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.warm.md, find the manual-slop_aggregate_directives(preset_path="conductor/directives/presets/current_baseline.md") line and change it to:

manual-slop_aggregate_directives(preset_path="conductor/directives/presets/tier2_autonomous.md")

Step 2: Strip the "Hard Bans" section

Find the ## Hard Bans (cannot run, enforced at 3 layers) section and its entire body (including the "THE TIMELINE-IS-IMMUTABLE PRINCIPLE" subsection) and remove it. This content is covered by the git_hard_bans, ban_appdata_paths, and timeline_is_immutable directives.

Step 3: Strip the "Conventions" section

Find the ## Conventions (MUST follow - added 2026-06-17; updated 2026-06-27) section and remove its bullet points about: test runner, never filter test output, prefer targeted tier runs, default branch, line endings, throw-away scripts, end-of-track report, run-time expectation, temp files. These are covered by use_batched_test_runner, no_output_filtering, prefer_targeted_tier_runs, master_branch_default, preserve_line_endings, throwaway_scripts_isolated_subdir, end_of_track_report_required directives. Replace the entire section with a one-line pointer:

## Conventions

The tier2_autonomous.md preset (warmed above) includes the TARGETED:tier2-sandbox directives that encode all sandbox conventions (batched test runner, no output filtering, targeted tier runs, throw-away script paths, end-of-track report, AppData ban, etc.). Follow them.

Step 4: Strip the "Sub-Agent Delegation" section

Find the ## Sub-Agent Delegation (replaces legacy mma_exec.py — updated 2026-06-27) section and remove it. Covered by tier3_worker_amnesia, tier4_qa_compressed_fix, agent_prompt_one_independent_domain, decompose_or_isolate_never_offload directives.

Step 5: Strip the "TDD Protocol" section

Find the ## TDD Protocol section and remove it. Covered by tdd_red_green_required and per_phase_metric_regression_fix.

Step 6: Strip the "Per-Task Commit Protocol" section

Find the ## Per-Task Commit Protocol section and remove it. Covered by atomic_per_task_commits and verbose_commit_message_ban.

Step 7: Keep "Failcount Contract", "Pre-Delegation Checkpoint", and "Limitations" inline

Do NOT strip these sections. They contain tier-2-specific operational detail (failcount thresholds, git add . safety net, scope limitations) that no directive covers.

Step 8: Verify the file is syntactically valid markdown + reduced in size

Run: uv run python -c "from pathlib import Path; content = Path('conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.warm.md').read_text(encoding='utf-8'); print(f'Size: {len(content)} chars, {content.count(chr(10))} lines')" Expected: size significantly reduced from ~17940 chars (target ~6-8KB).

Step 9: Commit

git add conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.warm.md
git commit -m "refactor(tier2): dedup tier2-autonomous.warm.md — strip inline sections covered by directives"

Task 5.2: Update setup_tier2_clone_directives.ps1 default preset

Files:

Modify: scripts/tier2/setup_tier2_clone_directives.ps1
Step 1: Change the -PresetPath default

In scripts/tier2/setup_tier2_clone_directives.ps1, find the param block:

param(
    [string]$MainRepoPath = "C:\projects\manual_slop",
    [string]$Tier2ClonePath = "C:\projects\manual_slop_tier2",
    [string]$PresetPath = "conductor/directives/presets/current_baseline.md"
)

Change the $PresetPath default to:

    [string]$PresetPath = "conductor/directives/presets/tier2_autonomous.md"

Step 2: Run the script to verify it works with the new default

Run: & "C:\projects\manual_slop\scripts\tier2\setup_tier2_clone_directives.ps1" Expected: bootstrap completes, [tier2-bootstrap-directives] preset resolved at C:\projects\manual_slop_tier2\conductor\directives\presets\tier2_autonomous.md.

Step 3: Commit

git add scripts/tier2/setup_tier2_clone_directives.ps1
git commit -m "feat(tier2): update setup_tier2_clone_directives.ps1 default preset to tier2_autonomous.md"

Phase 6: Final verification

Focus: Run the full test suite for the new test file, verify all presets resolve, verify the aggregate tool produces correct output for the new presets.

Task 6.1: Run all tests + verify all presets resolve

Step 1: Run the aggregate_directives preset tests

Run: uv run pytest tests/test_aggregate_directives_presets.py -v Expected: all 9 tests PASS.

Step 2: Verify all 12 presets resolve via the aggregate tool

Run: uv run python -c "from pathlib import Path; import sys; sys.path.insert(0, 'scripts'); from aggregate_directives import aggregate_directives; [aggregate_directives(f'conductor/directives/presets/{n}.md') or print(f'{n}: OK') for n in ['baseline','audit','fix_tests','implement_feature','refactor','new_script_tool','meta_tooling','directives_curation','documentation','media_analysis','ideation','tier2_autonomous']]" Expected: 12 lines of <name>: OK.

Step 3: Verify baseline.md returns exactly 57 directives + 4 non-directive context

Run: uv run python -c "from pathlib import Path; import sys; sys.path.insert(0, 'scripts'); from aggregate_directives import resolve_inheritance; s = resolve_inheritance(Path('conductor/directives/presets/baseline.md')); assert len(s.directives) == 57, f'expected 57, got {len(s.directives)}'; assert len(s.non_directive_context) == 4, f'expected 4, got {len(s.non_directive_context)}'; print('baseline: 57 directives + 4 non-directive context OK')" Expected: baseline: 57 directives + 4 non-directive context OK.

Step 4: Verify tier2_autonomous.md returns the expected count

Run: uv run python -c "from pathlib import Path; import sys; sys.path.insert(0, 'scripts'); from aggregate_directives import resolve_inheritance; s = resolve_inheritance(Path('conductor/directives/presets/tier2_autonomous.md')); assert len(s.directives) == 108, f'expected 108, got {len(s.directives)}'; assert len(s.non_directive_context) == 5, f'expected 5, got {len(s.non_directive_context)}'; print('tier2_autonomous: 108 directives + 5 non-directive context OK')" Expected: tier2_autonomous: 108 directives + 5 non-directive context OK.

Step 5: Verify the .warm.md file is reduced

Run: uv run python -c "from pathlib import Path; content = Path('conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.warm.md').read_text(encoding='utf-8'); size = len(content); assert size < 10000, f'expected < 10KB, got {size}'; assert 'tier2_autonomous.md' in content, 'preset path not updated'; assert '## Hard Bans' not in content, 'Hard Bans section not stripped'; assert '## Sub-Agent Delegation' not in content, 'Sub-Agent Delegation not stripped'; print(f'.warm.md: {size} chars OK')" Expected: .warm.md: <size> chars OK.

Step 6: Commit the final verification state (if any uncommitted test artifacts)

If there are uncommitted test artifacts in tests/artifacts/_pytest_tmp/, clean them up:

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force tests/artifacts/_pytest_tmp/ -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

No commit needed if the working tree is clean.
