Reads your .dwf/ rules and generates output for each configured tool using the appropriate bridge. Also deploys installed assets (commands, templates, hooks).
Output by Tool
| Tool | Output File |
|---|
| Claude Code | CLAUDE.md |
| Cursor | .cursor/rules/devworkflows.mdc |
| Gemini CLI | GEMINI.md |
| Windsurf | .windsurf/rules/devworkflows.md |
| VS Code Copilot | .github/copilot-instructions.md |
Asset Deployment
During compilation, installed assets are also deployed:
| Asset Type | Source | Output |
|---|
| Commands | .dwf/assets/commands/*.md | .claude/commands/*.md (frontmatter stripped) |
| Templates | .dwf/assets/templates/*.md | docs/specs/*.md (frontmatter stripped) |
| Hooks | .dwf/assets/hooks/*.json | .claude/settings.local.json (deep-merged) |
Flags
| Flag | Description |
|---|
--tool claude | Compile only a specific bridge |
--dry-run | Show output without writing files |
--verbose | Show detailed output |
Markers
When compiling to markdown-based outputs (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md), the generated content is wrapped in <!-- BEGIN dev-workflows --> and <!-- END dev-workflows --> markers.
This means you can have manual content in your CLAUDE.md and dev-workflows will only replace the section between markers. Your hand-written rules are preserved.
Examples
# Compile all configured tools
devw compile
# Preview output without writing
devw compile --dry-run
# Compile only Claude bridge
devw compile --tool claude
