 # KnightCode Packages
 
-KnightCode packages bundle extensions, skills, prompt templates, and themes so you can share them through npm or git. A package can declare resources in `package.json` under the `knightcode` key, or use conventional directories.
-
-## Table of Contents
+KnightCode packages install and distribute extensions, skills, prompt templates, and themes as one unit. Use a package when a customization should be shared through npm or git, or when several resources belong together.

+A package is an ordinary directory or npm package. It can expose conventional resource directories, declare explicit paths under the `knightcode` key in `package.json`, and carry its own runtime dependencies.
 
-## Install and Manage
+## Install and manage packages
 
-> **Security:** KnightCode packages run with full system access. Extensions execute arbitrary code, and skills can instruct the model to perform any action including running executables. Review source code before installing third-party packages.
+Install from npm, git, or a local path:
 
 ```bash
-knightcode install npm:@foo/bar@1.0.0
-knightcode install git:github.com/user/repo@v1
-knightcode install https://github.com/user/repo  # raw URLs work too
-knightcode install /absolute/path/to/package
-knightcode install ./relative/path/to/package
-
-knightcode remove npm:@foo/bar
-knightcode list                     # show installed packages from settings
-knightcode update                   # update knightcode only
-knightcode update --all             # update knightcode, update packages, and reconcile pinned git refs
-knightcode update --extensions      # update packages and reconcile pinned git refs only
-knightcode update --models          # refresh model catalogs only
-knightcode update --self            # update knightcode only
-knightcode update --self --force    # reinstall knightcode even if current
-knightcode update npm:@foo/bar      # update one package
-knightcode update --extension npm:@foo/bar
-```
-
-These commands manage knightcode packages and `knightcode update` can update the knightcode CLI installation. For experimental installer-managed installations, `knightcode update` installs the exact checked version into a staged, lockfile-backed release and activates it only after verification, leaving the current release intact if the update fails. Managed installations do not support `--force`; rerun the installer to repair one. To uninstall knightcode itself, see [Quickstart](quickstart.md#uninstall).
-
-By default, `install` and `remove` write to user settings (`~/.knightcode/agent/settings.json`). Use `-l` to write to project settings (`.knightcode/settings.json`) instead. Project settings can be shared with your team, and knightcode installs any missing packages automatically on startup after the project is trusted.
-
-To try a package without installing it, use `--extension` or `-e`. This installs to a temporary directory for the current run only:
-
-```bash
-knightcode -e npm:@foo/bar
-knightcode -e git:github.com/user/repo
-```
-
-## Package Sources
-
-KnightCode accepts three source types in settings and `knightcode install`.
-
-### npm
-
-```
-npm:@scope/pkg@1.2.3
-npm:pkg
+knightcode install npm:@example/knightcode-tools@1.0.0
+knightcode install git:github.com/example/knightcode-tools@v1
+knightcode install ./local-package
 ```
 
-- Versioned specs are pinned and skipped by package updates (`knightcode update --extensions`, `knightcode update --all`).
-- User installs go under `~/.knightcode/agent/npm/`.
-- Project installs go under `.knightcode/npm/`.
-- Set `npmCommand` in `settings.json` to pin npm package lookup and install operations to a specific wrapper command such as `mise` or `asdf`.
+`knightcode list` shows configured packages. Use `knightcode remove <source>` to remove one and `knightcode update --extensions` to reconcile package installations. See [Command Line](cli.md#package-commands) for every package command and option.
 
-Example:
+Personal installs are written to `~/.knightcode/agent/settings.json`. Add `--local` or `-l` to write the package declaration to `.knightcode/settings.json`. KnightCode reads declarations from that file only after project trust is granted.
 
-```json
-{
-  "npmCommand": ["mise", "exec", "node@20", "--", "npm"]
-}
-```
+Project packages are installed and loaded only after project trust is resolved. Packages can execute extension code and can include skills that instruct the model to run programs. Review third-party package source before installing it. Review project package declarations before granting project trust.
 
-### git
+Use `--extension` or `-e` to try a package for one invocation without adding it to settings:
 
-```
-git:github.com/user/repo@v1
-git:git@github.com:user/repo@v1
-https://github.com/user/repo@v1
-ssh://git@github.com/user/repo@v1
-```
-
-- Without `git:` prefix, only protocol URLs are accepted (`https://`, `http://`, `ssh://`, `git://`).
-- With `git:` prefix, shorthand formats are accepted, including `github.com/user/repo` and `git@github.com:user/repo`.
-- HTTPS and SSH URLs are both supported.
-- SSH URLs use your configured SSH keys automatically (respects `~/.ssh/config`).
-- For non-interactive runs (for example CI), you can set `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0` to disable credential prompts and set `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` (for example `ssh -o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=5`) to fail fast.
-- Refs are pinned tags or commits. `knightcode update --extensions` and `knightcode update --all` do not move them to newer refs, but they do reconcile an existing clone to the configured ref.
-- Use `knightcode install git:host/user/repo@new-ref` to update settings and move an existing package to a new pinned ref.
-- Cloned to `~/.knightcode/agent/git/<host>/<path>` (global) or `.knightcode/git/<host>/<path>` (project).
-- When reconciliation changes the checkout, knightcode resets and cleans the clone, then runs `npm install` if `package.json` exists.
-
-**SSH examples:**
 ```bash
-# git@host:path shorthand (requires git: prefix)
-knightcode install git:git@github.com:user/repo
-
-# ssh:// protocol format
-knightcode install ssh://git@github.com/user/repo
-
-# With version ref
-knightcode install git:git@github.com:user/repo@v1.0.0
+knightcode -e npm:@example/knightcode-tools
 ```
 
-### Local Paths
+## Choose a source
 
-```
-/absolute/path/to/package
-./relative/path/to/package
-```
+| Source | Example | Behavior |
+|---|---|---|
+| npm | `npm:@example/knightcode-tools@1.0.0` | Installed under the KnightCode npm directory |
+| git | `git:github.com/example/knightcode-tools@v1` | Cloned and reconciled to the selected ref |
+| URL | `https://github.com/example/knightcode-tools` | Treated as a git source |
+| Local | `./knightcode-tools` | Loaded from the resolved path without copying |
 
-Local paths point to files or directories on disk and are added to settings without copying. Relative paths are resolved against the settings file they appear in. If the path is a file, it loads as a single extension. If it is a directory, knightcode loads resources using package rules.
+Versioned npm specifications are pinned. Git tags and commits are also pinned; package updates reconcile the checkout but do not move a configured ref.
 
-## Creating a KnightCode Package
+Relative local paths resolve from the settings file that contains them. A file path loads one extension. A directory follows normal package discovery rules.
 
-Add a `knightcode` manifest to `package.json` or use conventional directories. Include the `knightcode-package` keyword for discoverability.
+## Create a package
 
-```json
-{
-  "name": "my-package",
-  "keywords": ["knightcode-package"],
-  "knightcode": {
-    "extensions": ["./extensions"],
-    "skills": ["./skills"],
-    "prompts": ["./prompts"],
-    "themes": ["./themes"]
-  }
-}
-```
+The simplest package uses conventional directories:
 
-Paths are relative to the package root. Arrays support glob patterns and `!exclusions`. Positive manifest globs discover visible paths in lexical order. List dot-prefixed paths directly. If a glob would need to continue through a symlink, list the symlinked resource root directly.
+```text
+my-knightcode-package/
+├── package.json
+├── extensions/
+├── skills/
+├── prompts/
+└── themes/
+```
 
-### Gallery Metadata
+Without a `knightcode` manifest, KnightCode discovers TypeScript and JavaScript extensions, skill directories, Markdown prompts, and JSON themes from those directories.
 
-The [package gallery](https://knightcode.dev/packages) displays packages tagged with `knightcode-package`. Add `video` or `image` fields to show a preview:
+Use an explicit manifest when resources live elsewhere or need filtering:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "name": "my-package",
+  "name": "my-knightcode-package",
   "keywords": ["knightcode-package"],
   "knightcode": {
-    "extensions": ["./extensions"],
-    "video": "https://example.com/demo.mp4",
-    "image": "https://example.com/screenshot.png"
+    "extensions": ["./src/extension.ts"],
+    "skills": ["./resources/skills"],
+    "prompts": ["./resources/prompts/*.md"],
+    "themes": ["./resources/themes/*.json"]
   }
 }
 ```
 
-- **video**: MP4 only. On desktop, autoplays on hover. Clicking opens a fullscreen player.
-- **image**: PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WebP. Displayed as a static preview.
+Paths are relative to the package root. Arrays accept glob patterns and exclusions. List dot-prefixed or symlinked resource roots directly when traversal through a glob would not discover them.
 
-If both are set, video takes precedence.
+The `knightcode-package` keyword makes an npm package eligible for discovery in the [KnightCode package gallery](https://knightcode.dev/packages). Optional `knightcode.image` and `knightcode.video` fields add gallery previews.
 
-## Package Structure
+## Declare dependencies
 
-### Convention Directories
+Put runtime packages imported by extensions in `dependencies`. KnightCode installs package dependencies when it installs an npm or git source.
 
-If no `knightcode` manifest is present, knightcode auto-discovers resources from these directories:
+KnightCode supplies these packages to extensions and skills:
 
-- `extensions/` loads `.ts` and `.js` files
-- `skills/` recursively finds `SKILL.md` folders and loads top-level `.md` files as skills
-- `prompts/` loads `.md` files
-- `themes/` loads `.json` files
+- `@knightcode/ai`
+- `@knightcode/agent`
+- `@knightcodeai/cli`
+- `@knightcode/tui`
+- `typebox`
 
-## Dependencies
+Declare imported KnightCode packages in `peerDependencies` with a `"*"` range and do not bundle them. Other KnightCode packages used as dependencies must be included in the published tarball and referenced through their `node_modules` resource paths.
 
-Third party runtime dependencies belong in `dependencies` in `package.json`. Dependencies that do not register extensions, skills, prompt templates, or themes also belong in `dependencies`. When knightcode installs a package from npm or git, it runs `npm install`, so those dependencies are installed automatically.
+Installed packages load with separate module roots. Do not rely on two packages sharing one dependency instance or one package resolving another package’s undeclared dependency.
 
-KnightCode bundles core packages for extensions and skills. If you import any of these, list them in `peerDependencies` with a `"*"` range and do not bundle them: `@knightcode/ai`, `@knightcode/agent`, `@knightcodeai/cli`, `@knightcode/tui`, `typebox`.
+## Select package resources
 
-Other knightcode packages must be bundled in your tarball. Add them to `dependencies` and `bundledDependencies`, then reference their resources through `node_modules/` paths. KnightCode loads packages with separate module roots, so separate installs do not collide or share modules.
-
-Example:
-
-```json
-{
-  "dependencies": {
-    "shitty-extensions": "^1.0.1"
-  },
-  "bundledDependencies": ["shitty-extensions"],
-  "knightcode": {
-    "extensions": ["extensions", "node_modules/shitty-extensions/extensions"],
-    "skills": ["skills", "node_modules/shitty-extensions/skills"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Package Filtering
-
-Filter what a package loads using the object form in settings:
+The object form in settings narrows which resources load from a package:
 
 ```json
 {
   "packages": [
-    "npm:simple-pkg",
     {
-      "source": "npm:my-package",
+      "source": "npm:@example/knightcode-tools",
       "extensions": ["extensions/*.ts", "!extensions/legacy.ts"],
       "skills": [],
-      "prompts": ["prompts/review.md"],
-      "themes": ["+themes/legacy.json"]
+      "prompts": ["prompts/review.md"]
     }
   ]
 }
 ```
 
-`+path` and `-path` are exact paths relative to the package root.
+For each resource type:
 
-- Omit a key to load all of that type.
+- Omit the property to load everything allowed by the package.
 - Use `[]` to load none of that type.
-- `!pattern` excludes matches.
-- `+path` force-includes an exact path.
-- `-path` force-excludes an exact path.
-- Filters layer on top of the manifest. They narrow down what is already allowed.
+- Use `!pattern` to exclude glob matches.
+- Use `+path` to include one exact allowed path.
+- Use `-path` to exclude one exact path.
+
+Filters narrow the package manifest. They do not expose resources that the package itself did not declare.
 
-## Enable and Disable Resources
+Run `knightcode config` to enable or disable discovered resources. It starts with personal configuration; press Tab to switch scope, or run `knightcode config --local` to start with project overrides.
 
-Use `knightcode config` to enable or disable extensions, skills, prompt templates, and themes from installed packages and local directories. `knightcode config` starts in global settings (`~/.knightcode/agent/settings.json`); press Tab to switch between global and project-local modes. Use `knightcode config -l` to start in project overrides (`.knightcode/settings.json`) with inherited global resources dimmed.
+## Understand scope and identity
 
-## Scope and Deduplication
+The same package can appear in personal and project settings. A project entry normally replaces the personal entry. With `autoload: false`, the project entry instead acts as a filtering delta over the personal package.
 
-Packages can appear in both global and project settings. If the same package appears in both, the project entry wins unless the project entry has `autoload: false`, in which case it is applied as a delta over the global entry. Identity is determined by:
+KnightCode identifies npm packages by package name, git packages by repository URL without the ref, and local packages by resolved absolute path. This prevents the same package from loading twice through equivalent declarations.
 
-- npm: package name
-- git: repository URL without ref
-- local: resolved absolute path
+Use [Extensions](extensions.md), [Skills](skills.md), [Prompt Templates](prompt-templates.md), and [Themes](themes.md) to design each resource before packaging it.

-> knightcode can create prompt templates. Ask it to build one for your workflow.
-
 # Prompt Templates
 
-Prompt templates are Markdown snippets that expand into full prompts. Type `/name` in the editor to invoke a template, where `name` is the filename without `.md`.
-
-## Locations
-
-KnightCode loads prompt templates from:
+Prompt templates turn Markdown files into reusable `/` commands. Use one when you want to reuse the same prompt without adding executable behavior or a larger set of supporting instructions.
 
-- Global: `~/.knightcode/agent/prompts/*.md`
-- Project: `.knightcode/prompts/*.md` (only after the project is trusted)
-- Packages: `prompts/` directories or `knightcode.prompts` entries in `package.json`
-- Settings: `prompts` array with files or directories
-- CLI: `--prompt-template <path>` (repeatable)
+A template can accept arguments and appear in command completion. KnightCode can load templates from personal configuration, project configuration, an explicit path, or a KnightCode package. Project configuration loads only after project trust is granted.
 
-Disable discovery with `--no-prompt-templates`.
+## Create a template
 
-## Format
+Create `~/.knightcode/agent/prompts/review.md`:
 
 ```markdown
 ---
 description: Review staged git changes
+argument-hint: "[focus]"
 ---
-Review the staged changes (`git diff --cached`). Focus on:
-- Bugs and logic errors
-- Security issues
-- Error handling gaps
+Review the staged changes. Focus on ${1:-correctness, security, and error handling}.
 ```
 
-- The filename becomes the command name. `review.md` becomes `/review`.
-- `description` is optional. If missing, the first non-empty line is used.
-- `argument-hint` is optional. When set, the hint is displayed before the description in the autocomplete dropdown.
+The filename becomes the command name, so this template is available as `/review`. The `description` appears in command completion. If it is omitted, KnightCode uses the first non-empty line.
 
-### Argument Hints
+`argument-hint` is optional. Use `<angle brackets>` for required arguments and `[square brackets]` for optional arguments.
 
-Use `argument-hint` in frontmatter to show expected arguments in autocomplete. Use `<angle brackets>` for required arguments and `[square brackets]` for optional ones:
-
-```markdown
----
-description: Review PRs from URLs with structured issue and code analysis
-argument-hint: "<PR-URL>"
----
-```
+Run `/reload` after adding or changing a template in an active session.
 
-This renders in the autocomplete dropdown as:
+<a id="invoke-a-template"></a>
 
-```
-→ pr   <PR-URL>       — Review PRs from URLs with structured issue and code analysis
-  is   <issue>        — Analyze GitHub issues (bugs or feature requests)
-  wr   [instructions] — Finish the current task end-to-end
-  cl   — Audit changelog entries before release
-```
+## Use a template
 
-## Usage
+Type the template command in the editor:
 
-Type `/` followed by the template name in the editor. Autocomplete shows available templates with descriptions.
-
-```
-/review                           # Expands review.md
-/component Button                 # Expands with argument
-/component Button "click handler" # Multiple arguments
+```text
+/review
+/review concurrency
 ```
 
-## Arguments
+KnightCode expands the template before the resulting text enters the agent. Extensions receive the raw input first through the `input` event unless an extension command with the same name handles it.
 
-Templates support positional arguments, defaults, and simple slicing:
+Templates support these substitutions:
 
-- `$1`, `$2`, ... positional args
-- `$@` or `$ARGUMENTS` for all args joined
-- `${1:-default}` uses arg 1 when present/non-empty, otherwise `default`
-- `${@:-default}` or `${ARGUMENTS:-default}` uses all arguments when present/non-empty, otherwise `default`
-- `${@:N}` for args from the Nth position (1-indexed)
-- `${@:N:L}` for `L` args starting at N
+| Syntax | Result |
+|---|---|
+| `$1`, `$2`, … | One positional argument |
+| `$@` or `$ARGUMENTS` | All arguments joined with spaces |
+| `${1:-default}` | First argument, or a default value |
+| `${@:-default}` | All arguments, or a default value |
+| `${@:N}` | Arguments starting at position `N` |
+| `${@:N:L}` | `L` arguments starting at position `N` |
 
-Example:
+Arguments follow shell-like quoting, so `/review "API compatibility"` supplies one argument containing a space.
 
-```markdown
----
-description: Create a component
----
-Create a React component named $1 with features: $@
-```
-
-Default values are useful for optional arguments:
+<a id="choose-where-it-loads"></a>
 
-```markdown
-Summarize the current state in ${1:-7} bullet points.
-```
+## Add it to KnightCode
 
-Usage: `/component Button "onClick handler" "disabled support"`
+Place the template in your user or project prompt directory. Conventional prompt directories load direct `.md` children only.
 
-## Loading Rules
+Settings and packages can select nested Markdown files; a package manifest can narrow discovery with explicit paths and globs. See [Settings](settings.md#resources) and [KnightCode Packages](packages.md) for these options.
 
-- Template discovery in `prompts/` is non-recursive.
-- If you want templates in subdirectories, add them explicitly via `prompts` settings or a package manifest.
+Project templates become commands in the editor after trust is granted. Review their content before trusting an unfamiliar project. See [Security](security.md#understand-project-trust).
