SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts a natural language intent into a fully populated, copy/paste-ready Volon prompt so users do not need to manually assemble templates, guardrails, or repository-derived context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template selection and population: Infers the correct template (inception, task, ideation, planning, patch) and fills all placeholders with repo and runtime context.
  • Repo-aware guardrails: Reads volon.yaml and .volon state to enforce single-writer rules, DONE tokens, commit policies, and to remove or qualify destructive operations.
  • Use case: Quickly produce a safe, self-contained orchestrator prompt for planning a feature, applying a patch, or running an ideation session without manual prompt engineering.

Quick Start

Use volon-prompt to generate a copy/paste-ready Volon prompt for the intent to add CI checks, ensuring guardrails, placeholders, and repo context are applied.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a prompt for repository orchestration tasks without manual prompt engineering?

You generate a copy/paste-ready prompt by converting a natural language intent into a fully populated Volon prompt. The system infers the correct template, fills placeholders with repo context, and outputs a self-contained Markdown prompt for inception, task execution, ideation, planning, or patch application.

What guardrails are applied when generating prompts for task execution and patch application?

Guardrails applied during prompt generation enforce single-writer rules, DONE tokens, and commit policies by reading volon.yaml and local .volon state. The system automatically removes or qualifies destructive operations to ensure safe defaults for repository orchestration.

Do I need a volon.yaml file to use automated prompt generation for my repository?

Yes, reading volon.yaml and local .volon context is required to generate accurate prompts. These files provide the repository and runtime context necessary to resolve placeholders, select the correct template, and enforce repo-aware guardrails for safe orchestration.

What is the best way to automate prompt generation for feature planning and ideation sessions?

The best way to automate prompt generation for planning and ideation is to provide a natural language intent. The system selects the appropriate template, resolves placeholders with runtime context, performs guardrail checks, and outputs a self-contained Markdown prompt ready for immediate use.

Can I use volon-prompt to apply patches safely without manually defining commit policies?

Yes, the prompt generator reads volon.yaml to automatically infer and fill commit policies and safe defaults. It resolves placeholders and performs guardrail checks to produce a patch application prompt that removes or qualifies destructive operations.

What templates are available for repo-aware prompt generation?

Available templates cover inception, task execution, ideation, planning, and patch application scenarios. The system infers the correct template from your natural language intent and fills it with repository-derived context and guardrails.
