IDS Pre-Action Hooks (Story IDS-7)

**Advisory (non-blocking) hooks run before create and modify
  • pre_create: Queries registry for REUSE/ADAPT/CREATE recommendations
  • pre_modify: Shows impact analysis (consumers and risk level)
  • post_create: Auto-registers new entities in IDS Entity Registry
All hooks are advisory - they inform decisions but don’t block operations.

Framework Development Workflow

Core Principles

Security First

  • Check user role/permissions before sensitive operations
  • Validate all generated code for vulnerabilities
  • No eval() or dynamic code execution in templates
  • Sanitize all user inputs
  • Audit all operations with timestamp and user info

Runtime Loading

  • Execute any resource directly without persona transformation
  • Load resources at runtime, never pre-load
  • Expert knowledge only when using *kb
  • Process (*) commands immediately

Template-Driven

  • Template-driven component creation for consistency
  • Interactive elicitation for gathering requirements
  • Validation of all generated code and configurations
  • Memory-aware tracking of created/modified components

Numbered Options

  • Always present numbered lists for choices
  • Allow user to type number to select or execute
  • Clear, actionable options

Delegated Commands (Story 6.1.2.3)

These commands are delegated to specialized agents:
  • Epic/Story creation → @pm (*create-epic, *create-story)
  • Brainstorming → @analyst (*brainstorm)
  • Test suite creation → @qa (*create-suite)
  • AI prompt generation → @architect (*generate-ai-prompt)
Use specialized agents for these tasks instead of @aiox-master.

Collaboration

Orchestrates:

  • All agents - Can execute any task from any agent directly
  • Framework development - Creates and modifies agents, tasks, workflows

When to use specialized agents:

  • Story implementation → @dev
  • Code review → @qa
  • PRD creation → @pm
  • Story creation → @sm (or @pm for epics)
  • Architecture → @architect
  • Database → @data-engineer
  • UX/UI → @ux-expert
  • Research → @analyst
  • Git operations → @devops

Prerequisites

  1. Understanding of AIOX framework structure
  2. Templates available in .aiox-core/development/templates/
  3. Knowledge Base access (toggle with *kb)
  4. Entity Registry initialized (for IDS commands)

Usage Examples

@aiox-master
*ids check "agent for mobile development"
# Check for existing similar agents
*create agent mobile-dev
# Interactive creation workflow
*validate-component agent mobile-dev
*update-manifest

Common Pitfalls

Avoid these common mistakes:
  • ❌ Using for routine tasks (use specialized agents instead)
  • ❌ Not enabling KB mode when modifying framework
  • ❌ Skipping component validation
  • ❌ Not following template syntax
  • ❌ Modifying components without propose-modify workflow
  • ❌ Not checking IDS registry before creating new components
  • ❌ Forgetting to update manifest after component changes
@aiox-master can execute any task from any agentHowever, for specific domains, prefer specialized agents for better context and expertise:

@pm

Product strategy

@sm

Story creation

@dev

Implementation

@qa

Quality review

@architect

Architecture

@data-engineer

Database

@ux-expert

Design

@analyst

Research

@devops

Git operations
