Selects a quality-vs-token-consumption profile (lean, standard, thorough, exhaustive, custom, inherit) and persists it globally (~/.nwave/global-config.json) or per-project (.nwave/des-config.json). Use when tuning how much rigor wave commands apply.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# NW-RIGOR: Quality Profile Selection **Wave**: CROSS_WAVE | **Agent**: Main Instance (self) | **Command**: `/nw-rigor [profile]` ## Overview Interactive command to select a quality-vs-token-consumption profile. Persists choice to either `~/.nwave/global-config.json` (global scope) or `.nwave/des-config.json` (project scope) under the `rigor` key. All wave commands read this config to adjust agent models, review policy, TDD phases, and mutation testing. You (the main Claude instance) run this directly. No subagent delegation. **Note on TDD phase canons (dual-canon, ADR-025, 2026-05-07)**: the canonical TDD cycle is **3-phase v5** (`RED, GREEN, COMMIT`) as described in `nw-tdd-methodology`. The **legacy 5-phase v4** (`PREPARE, RED_ACCEPTANCE, RED_UNIT, GREEN, COMMIT`) is preserved for backward-compat audit-log replay of pre-2026-05-07 commits. The `.nwave/des-config.json` `tdd_phases` field accepts BOTH canons: writers of new logs may emit v5; the validator + schema (`step-tdd-cycle-schema.json`) dispatch on `schema_version` (`"5.0"` → canonical, anything else → legacy). The profile table below shows both canons side-by-side: pick v5 for new features, keep v4 only when… …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-rigor@sha256:440a374180e4a286The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260515.650a105, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
