Selects a quality-vs-token-consumption profile (lean, standard, thorough, exhaustive, custom, inherit) and persists it globally (~/.nwave/global-config.json) or per-project (.nwave/des-config.json).

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 7 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Show the canonical v5 TDD phase list written to `tdd_phases` when choosing `lean` profile.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Wave: CROSS_WAVE | Agent: Main Instance (self) | Command: /nw-rigor [profile]
Interactive command to select a quality-vs-token-consumption profile. Persists choice to either ~/.nwave/global-config.json (global scope) or .nwave/des-config.json (project scope) under the rigor key. All wave commands read this config to adjust agent models, review policy, TDD phases, and mutation testing.
You (the main Claude instance) run this directly. No subagent delegation.
Note on TDD phase canons (dual-canon, ADR-025, 2026-05-07): the canonical TDD cycle is 3-phase v5 (RED, GREEN, COMMIT) as described in nw-tdd-methodology. The legacy 5-phase v4 (PREPARE, RED_ACCEPTANCE, RED_UNIT, GREEN, COMMIT) is preserved for backward-compat audit-log replay of pre-2026-05-07 commits. The .nwave/des-config.json tdd_phases field accepts BOTH canons: writers of new logs may emit v5; the validator + schema (step-tdd-cycle-schema.json) dispatch on schema_version ("5.0" → canonical, anything else → legacy). The profile table below shows both canons side-by-side: pick v5 for new features, keep v4 only when extending a feature whose audit log was started under the legacy canon.
