anchors guide

Print the Anchors guides for AI agents.

With no arguments, prints the operating playbook: the development flow
(plan → specify → map → implement → test → confront), the commands,
and what to report to the user. The AI runs this first and operates Anchors as a tool.

Subcommands print the guides for the specific rulers:
  anchors guide project  how to discover a project that does not yet exist (PROJECT.md)
  anchors guide plan     how to structure a plan (the origin of the movement)
  anchors guide product  the product doctrine (the rule that cuts across targets)
  anchors guide flag     the feature flag (the scenarios a flag's value opens)
  anchors guide flow     actions and flows (work driven by shape, not by memory)
  anchors guide spec     how to write a spec (the source of truth)
  anchors guide code     how to implement the code guided by the spec
  anchors guide feature  how to write the feature (the behaviour scenarios)
  anchors guide test     how to write the tests (the executable ruler)
  anchors guide guide    how to write a guide (the ruler of a ruler)
  anchors guide header   the header block of every file (cross-cutting, mandatory)
  anchors guide navigation  an app's navigation (the screen's In and Out, the flag on each call)
  anchors guide monitor     waiting on a long process: watch 'anchors monitor' and react to each line
  anchors guide work     how to work a card (the order, and a finding that is not its own)
  anchors guide review   how to review a PR (what is yours and what check already measured)
  anchors guide changelog  the technical changelog, and the product one an agent makes from it
  anchors guide report-bug  when Anchors itself is wrong: how to tell, report it, and go on

Subcomandos

`anchors guide changelog`

the technical changelog, and the product one an agent makes from it.

anchors guide changelog

`anchors guide code`

how to implement the code guided by the spec.

Uso

anchors guide code

`anchors guide feature`

how to write the feature (behaviour scenarios).

Uso

anchors guide feature

`anchors guide flag`

Print the feature flag guide (the scenarios a flag’s value opens).

The feature flag guide is the ruler for the condition under which a rule
holds: it lives in flags/, and the specs point at it with `@gated-by`.

Uso

anchors guide flag

`anchors guide flow`

Print the flow guide (work driven by shape, not by memory).

The flow guide is the ruler for ACTIONS (the puzzle pieces, each declaring
its results) and FLOWS (the assembly that says where each result goes).

Uso

anchors guide flow

`anchors guide guide`

how to write a guide (the ruler of a ruler).

Uso

`anchors guide header`

the header block of every file (cross-cutting, mandatory).

Uso

`anchors guide monitor`

waiting on a long process: watch anchors monitor and react to each line.

Uso

anchors guide monitor

`anchors guide navigation`

an app’s navigation: the screen’s In and Out, the flag on each call.

Uso

anchors guide navigation

`anchors guide plan`

Print the plan guide (how a plan is structured and seeds specs).

The plan guide is the ruler of the PLAN phase: how the AI and the user
write a plan that decides WHICH specs are born or change — never code directly.

Uso

anchors guide plan

`anchors guide product`

Print the product doctrine guide (the rule that cuts across targets).

The product doctrine guide is the ruler for the rule that belongs to no
single unit: it lives in product/, and the specs point at it with `@realizes`.

Uso

anchors guide product

`anchors guide project`

how to discover a project that does not yet exist (PROJECT.md + INSIGHTS.md).

Uso

anchors guide project

`anchors guide report-bug`

when Anchors itself is wrong: how to tell, report it, and go on.

`anchors guide review`

Configuração e artefatos — família

Comandos da mesma família — o que distingue cada um:

Comando	O que faz
`anchors init`	Configure the project (anchors.yaml) through questions and answers
`anchors new`	Emit the skeleton of an artifact (spec, feature, test, plan…) per the ruler
`anchors code`	Generate a unique identity code for a new unit
`anchors guide`	Print the Anchors guides for AI agents
`anchors docs`	Compile the documentation from the templates in `doct/`
`anchors install-hooks`	Install the git pre-commit that runs the gates over staged files
`anchors migrate`	Bring the Anchors files up to the current format
`anchors settings`	This agent’s LOCAL configuration — what is its own, not the project’s
`anchors touch`	Bump `updated_at` in the @anchors header of the files that changed
