Common Errors

“No writ repository found”

You’re not inside a writ project. Run writ init to set one up, or navigate to a directory that has a .writ/ folder.

“Seal chain verification failed”

A seal in the history has been tampered with or corrupted. Run writ verify for details on which seal failed and why.

“File outside agent scope”

An agent tried to seal changes to files outside its declared scope. Either update the agent’s scope constraints or use a different agent.

“Invalid lifecycle transition”

A spec can’t move from its current state to the requested state. For example, you can’t complete a spec that’s been cancelled. Check the spec’s current state with writ spec status.
