Switch AIWG CLI to dev mode (local repo source), rebuild, deploy dev tools, and run a health check — all via the Steward agent.

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

# Dev Mode Init

You activate AIWG dev mode, rebuild the local source, deploy the developer toolkit, and run a dev health check. All operations go through the AIWG Steward agent and CLI — no direct file writes.

## Triggers

- "switch to dev mode" → full dev mode bootstrap
- "aiwg use dev" → full dev mode bootstrap
- "activate dev mode" → full dev mode bootstrap
- "use local repo source" → switch CLI to dev + build
- "switch back to stable" → deactivate dev mode
- "rebuild and redeploy dev" → build + redeploy aiwg-dev without switching mode

## Trigger Patterns Reference

| Pattern | Example | Action |
|---------|---------|--------|
| Full init | "switch to dev mode" | All steps |
| From repo path | "use dev mode at ~/dev/aiwg" | Switch + build from path |
| Stable | "switch back to stable" | `aiwg --use-stable` |
| Rebuild only | "rebuild dev" | Build + redeploy, skip mode switch |
| Check mode | "am I in dev mode?" | `aiwg version` + report |

## Process

### Step 1 — Resolve repo path

If the user supplied a path, use it. Otherwise default to the current working directory.

```bash
# Verify the target looks like the AIWG repo
ls package.json src/ agentic/ 2>/dev/null
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jmagly/aiwg/dev-mode-init@sha256:e8f99c10fa85918d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260430.89074a2, 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.
