Project Ethos Generator
Generate and maintain an ethos/ folder that gives agents and humans the strategic
context behind a project. Three documents, all interview-generated:
- vision.md — Why this exists, who it's for, what success looks like
- principles.md — Technical and product tradeoffs, guardrails, beliefs
- non-goals.md — What the project intentionally avoids
Modes
Detect the correct mode from context. If the user says "ethos" without specifying,
check whether ethos/ exists in the project root:
- If no: run
/ethos:init - If yes: run
/ethos:audit
Mode 1: /ethos:init — Generate Ethos
Trigger: No ethos/ folder exists, or user explicitly asks to create one.
