/vibeos:wo — Work Order Management

Manage individual work orders: create new ones, check status, mark complete, or run audits.

Communication Contract

Follow the full USER-COMMUNICATION-CONTRACT.md (docs/USER-COMMUNICATION-CONTRACT.md). Key rules:

• Lead with outcome, follow with mechanism
• Present decisions with consequences
• Introduce every concept on first use with plain English definition

Skill-specific addenda:

• When presenting WO status, include what matters: what's done, what's blocked, what's next
• Explain outcomes in plain English first; add technical detail only when it helps the user understand the implication
• If the user must choose, present options with pros, cons, and a recommendation

Subcommand Routing

Parse the first word of $ARGUMENTS to determine the subcommand:

• create — Create a new work order
• status — Show status of a specific WO (or current WO if none specified)
• complete — Mark a WO as complete with evidence validation
• audit — Run the plan auditor against a specific WO

If no subcommand is recognized, show help:

"Usage: /vibeos:wo <create|status|complete|audit> [WO number]

• create — Create a new work order from template
• status — Show WO status, progress, and blockers
• complete — Validate evidence and mark WO complete
• audit — Run plan auditor against a WO"

Subcommand: create

Create a new work order from the WO template.

1. Read .vibeos/reference/governance/WO-TEMPLATE.md.ref for the template structure
2. Read docs/planning/WO-INDEX.md to determine the next WO number
3. Ask the user for:
   • Title (required)
   • Objective (required)
   • Phase (which phase does this belong to)
   • Dependencies (other WO numbers)
   • Brief scope description
4. Generate the WO file at docs/planning/WO-{NUMBER}-{slug}.md:
   • Fill in all required sections from template
   • Set status to Draft
   • Set all acceptance criteria as unchecked
5. Add the new WO to docs/planning/WO-INDEX.md in the correct phase
6. Add the new WO to docs/planning/DEVELOPMENT-PLAN.md in the correct phase table

Report:

"Created WO-{NUMBER}: {title}. Added to Phase {N} in the development plan."

Subcommand: status

Show the status of a specific WO or the current active WO.

1. If a WO number is provided in $ARGUMENTS, use it
2. If not, read docs/planning/DEVELOPMENT-PLAN.md and find the first incomplete WO
3. Read the WO file
4. Read docs/planning/WO-INDEX.md for cross-reference

Report:

## WO-{NUMBER}: {title}

**Status:** {status}
**Phase:** {phase}
**Dependencies:** {list with status of each}

### Progress
- Scope items: {checked}/{total}
- Acceptance criteria: {checked}/{total}
- Evidence: {checked}/{total}

### Blockers
{list of blockers, or "None"}

### Next Step
{what should happen next}

Subcommand: complete

Validate evidence and mark a WO as complete.

1. Read the WO file
2. Validate all acceptance criteria have evidence:
   • Each AC should be checked ([x])
   • Each evidence item should be checked
   • If any are unchecked: report what's missing and ask the user to confirm
3. Run pre-commit audit using the 10-question framework:
   • What did we miss?
   • What tests are passing/failing?
   • Any remaining stubs or placeholders?
   • Should an additional audit run before marking complete?
4. Run wo_exit gates if gate-runner is available:

   bash scripts/gate-runner.sh wo_exit --continue-on-failure --wo {NUMBER}
   

5. If all checks pass:
   • Update WO status to Complete
   • Check all scope/AC/evidence boxes
   • Update docs/planning/WO-INDEX.md — move to Completed
   • Update docs/planning/DEVELOPMENT-PLAN.md — mark Complete
   • Report completion with summary
6. If checks fail:
   • Report what's failing
   • Ask: "Would you like to fix these first, or mark complete with noted exceptions?"

Report:

"WO-{NUMBER} ({title}) is now Complete.

• {N} acceptance criteria satisfied
• {M} gates passed
• Next: WO-{NEXT} ({next title})"

Subcommand: audit

Run the plan auditor against a specific WO.

1. If a WO number is provided, use it
2. If not, use the current active WO
3. Dispatch agents/plan-auditor.md with the WO number
4. Present the structured findings to the user

Report the auditor's findings as-is, then add:

"Would you like to address any of these findings before proceeding?"
