Set the Tone — Expertise Level & Communication Style
Instructions: Present the expertise levels and let the user pick. Store their preference in the project context file so all agents can read it.
Choose Your Expertise Level
This affects how all WDS agents communicate with you — how much they explain, how much they assume, and how they structure their responses.
1. New to this I'm new to product development or AI-assisted workflows. Give me clear explanations, walk me through each step, and check in regularly. Don't assume I know the terminology.
2. Some experience I've built products before but I'm new to WDS. Explain WDS-specific concepts but don't over-explain general product development. I can handle trade-off discussions.
3. Experienced I know product development well. Be concise and strategic. Skip the basics, focus on decisions and artifacts. Respect my time — I'll ask if I need more detail.
4. Expert — just get to work I know exactly what I want. Minimal explanation, maximum output. Give me options when there's a real decision to make, otherwise just execute.
After Selection
Store the preference in the project context:
# In project-context.md or .wds-project-outline.yaml
user_preferences:
expertise_level: [1-4]
set_date: [today]
Confirm the selection briefly, then return to the main menu or proceed with whatever the user needs.
Note: Users can change this anytime by asking to "set the tone" or "change expertise level."
