Wolf Instruction Cascading System

Four-level instruction hierarchy that ensures consistent agent behavior across 43 roles while allowing environment-specific and role-specific customization.

Overview

Wolf's instruction system prevents duplication while enabling specialization through a clear hierarchy:

1. Global Instructions (21 files) - Universal policies applying to ALL agents
2. Domain Instructions (3 files) - Technical domain patterns (web, data, ops)
3. Project Instructions (3 files) - Environment-specific overrides
4. Role Instructions - Role-specific behavior (in role-card.md files)
5. Variant Instructions - Stack-specific customization

Key Principle: Closest instruction wins on conflicts. Project > Role/Variant > Domain > Global.
