  "handoff-generation-pipeline.md": "# `/handoff` generation pipeline\n\nThis document describes how the coding-agent implements `/handoff`: trigger path, oneshot generation, session switch, context reinjection, persistence, and UI behavior.\n\n## Scope\n\nCovers:\n\n- Interactive `/handoff` command dispatch\n- `AgentSession.handoff()` lifecycle and state transitions\n- `generateHandoff(...)` request shape\n- How old/new sessions persist handoff data differently\n- UI behavior for success, cancel, and failure\n\nDoes not cover:\n\n- Generic tree navigation/branch internals\n- Non-handoff session commands (`/new`, `/fork`, `/resume`)\n\n## Implementation files\n\n- [`../src/modes/controllers/input-controller.ts`](../packages/coding-agent/src/modes/controllers/input-controller.ts)\n- [`../src/modes/controllers/command-controller.ts`](../packages/coding-agent/src/modes/controllers/command-controller.ts)\n- [`../src/session/agent-session.ts`](../packages/coding-agent/src/session/agent-session.ts)\n- [`packages/agent/src/compaction/compaction.ts`](../packages/agent/src/compaction/compaction.ts)\n- [`../src/session/session-manager.ts`](../packages/coding-agent/src/session/session-manager.ts)\n- [`../src/extensibility/slash-commands.ts`](../packages/coding-agent/src/extensibility/slash-commands.ts)\n\n## Trigger path\n\n1. `/handoff` is declared in builtin slash command metadata (`slash-commands.ts`) with optional inline hint: `[focus instructions]`.\n2. In interactive input handling (`InputController`), submit text matching `/handoff` or `/handoff ...` is intercepted before normal prompt submission.\n3. The editor is cleared and `handleHandoffCommand(customInstructions?)` is called.\n4. `CommandController.handleHandoffCommand` performs a preflight guard using current entries:\n - Counts `type === \"message\"` entries.\n - If `< 2`, it warns: `Nothing to hand off (no messages yet)` and returns.\n\nThe same minimum-content guard exists again inside `AgentSession.handoff()` and throws if violated. This duplicates safety at both UI and session layers.\n\n## End-to-end lifecycle\n\n### 1) Start handoff generation\n\n`AgentSession.handoff(customInstructions?)`:\n\n- Reads current branch entries (`sessionManager.getBranch()`).\n- Validates minimum message count (`>= 2`).\n- Creates `#handoffAbortController` and links any caller-provided abort signal to it.\n- Resolves the current model API key through `ModelRegistry`.\n- Calls `generateHandoff(...)` with:\n - live agent messages (`agent.state.messages`),\n - the current model and API key,\n - the base system prompt (`#baseSystemPrompt`),\n - the live tool array (`agent.state.tools`),\n - optional focus instructions,\n - coding-agent message conversion (`convertToLlm`),\n - provider metadata and `initiatorOverride: \"agent\"`.\n\n`generateHandoff(...)` lives in `packages/agent/src/compaction/compaction.ts` next to summarization. It renders `packages/agent/src/compaction/prompts/handoff-document.md` via `renderHandoffPrompt(...)` with optional `additionalFocus`.\n\n### 2) Generate and capture output\n\n`generateHandoff(...)` converts the existing `AgentMessage[]` history to real LLM `Message[]` history, then appends one trailing agent-attributed `user` message containing the rendered handoff prompt.\n\nThe request uses `completeSimple(...)` directly:\n\n```ts\nawait completeSimple(\n model,\n {\n systemPrompt,\n messages: requestMessages,\n tools,\n },\n {\n apiKey,\n signal,\n reasoning: Effort.High,\n toolChoice: \"none\",\n initiatorOverride,\n metadata,\n },\n);\n```\n\nImportant generation properties:\n\n- The request preserves the live provider cache prefix by reusing the same system prompt, tool definitions, and real message history shape as the active agent.\n- The handoff instruction is a trailing `user` message, not a developer message, so the cached prefix remains aligned with the prior turn.\n- `toolChoice: \"none\"` prevents intentional tool dispatch.\n- The returned assistant content is filtered to text blocks and joined with `\\n`; stray tool-call blocks are ignored if a provider does not honor `toolChoice: \"none\"`.\n- `stopReason === \"error\"` throws a generation error.\n\nNo agent-loop events are used for capture. The handoff path no longer waits for `agent_end` and no longer scans the latest assistant message.\n\n### 3) Cancellation checks\n\nCancellation throws `Error(\"Handoff cancelled\")`; a completed generation with no text returns `undefined`.\n\n- caller signal aborts `#handoffAbortController`\n- `completeSimple(...)` receives the abort signal\n- aborted handoff signal or provider `AbortError` is normalized to `Error(\"Handoff cancelled\")`\n- empty generated text returns `undefined`\n\n`AgentSession.handoff()` always clears `#handoffAbortController` in `finally`.\n\n### 4) New session creation\n\nIf text was generated and not aborted:\n\n1. Flush current session writer (`sessionManager.flush()`).\n2. Cancel session-owned async jobs.\n3. Start a brand-new session with `parentSession` pointing at the previous session file when one exists.\n4. Reset in-memory agent state (`agent.reset()`).\n5. Rebind `agent.sessionId` to the new session id.\n6. Rekey/reset hindsight state for the new session.\n7. Clear queued context arrays (`#steeringMessages`, `#followUpMessages`, `#pendingNextTurnMessages`) and any scheduled hidden next-turn generation.\n8. Reset todo reminder counter.\n\n### 5) Handoff-context injection\n\nThe generated handoff document is wrapped by coding-agent session glue and appended to the new session as a `custom_message` entry:\n\n```text\n<handoff-context>\n...handoff text...\n</handoff-context>\n\nThe above is a handoff document from a previous session. Use this context to continue the work seamlessly.\n```\n\nInsertion call:\n\n```ts\nthis.sessionManager.appendCustomMessageEntry(\"handoff\", handoffContent, true, undefined, \"agent\");\n```\n\nSemantics:\n\n- `customType`: `\"handoff\"`\n- `display`: `true` (visible in TUI rebuild)\n- attribution: `\"agent\"`\n- Entry type: `custom_message` (participates in LLM context)\n\n### 6) Rebuild active agent context\n\nAfter injection:\n\n1. `buildDisplaySessionContext()` resolves message list for current leaf.\n2. `agent.replaceMessages(sessionContext.messages)` makes the injected handoff message active context.\n3. Todo phases are synchronized from the new branch.\n4. Method returns `{ document: handoffText, savedPath? }`.\n\nAt this point, the active LLM context in the new session contains the injected handoff message, not the old transcript.\n\n## Persistence model: old session vs new session\n\n### Old session\n\nHandoff generation is a oneshot request, not a visible agent turn. The generated handoff text is not appended to the old session as an assistant message.\n\nResult: the original session keeps its prior transcript unchanged except for data already persisted before handoff began.\n\n### New session\n\nAfter session reset, handoff is persisted as `custom_message` with `customType: \"handoff\"`.\n\n`buildSessionContext()` converts this entry into a runtime custom/user-context message via `createCustomMessage(...)`, so it is included in future prompts from the new session.\n\nAuto-triggered handoffs can additionally save the handoff document as a session artifact when `compaction.handoffSaveToDisk` is enabled; `handoff()` returns its resolvable `artifact://<id>` URI as `savedPath`. Manual `/handoff` does not save an artifact.\n\n## Controller/UI behavior\n\n`CommandController.handleHandoffCommand` behavior:\n\n- Shows a status loader: `Generating handoff… (esc to cancel)`.\n- Calls `await session.handoff(customInstructions)`.\n- If result is `undefined`: `showError(\"Handoff cancelled\")`.\n- On success:\n - `rebuildChatFromMessages()` (loads new session context, including injected handoff)\n - invalidates status line and editor top border\n - reloads todos\n - appends success chat line: `New session started with handoff context`\n- On exception:\n - if message is `\"Handoff cancelled\"` or error name is `AbortError`: `showError(\"Handoff cancelled\")`\n - otherwise: `showError(\"Handoff failed: <message>\")`\n- Stops the loader, restores the previous Escape handler, and requests render at end.\n\nManual `/handoff` no longer streams the generated document into chat. A cancellable loader remains visible while the oneshot request runs, and the chat is rebuilt after generation completes.\n\n## Cancellation semantics\n\n### Session-level cancellation primitive\n\n`AgentSession` exposes:\n\n- `abortHandoff()` → aborts `#handoffAbortController`\n- `isGeneratingHandoff` → true while controller exists\n\nWhen this abort path is used, the abort signal is passed to `completeSimple(...)`; `handoff()` normalizes the cancellation to `Error(\"Handoff cancelled\")`, and command controller maps it to cancellation UI.\n\n### Interactive `/handoff` path\n\nThe command controller installs a temporary Escape handler for `/handoff` while the loader is visible. Pressing Escape calls `session.abortHandoff()`, which aborts the `completeSimple(...)` request through `#handoffAbortController`.\n\n## Aborted vs failed handoff\n\nCurrent UI classification:\n\n- **Aborted/cancelled**\n - `abortHandoff()` path triggers `\"Handoff cancelled\"`, or\n - thrown `AbortError`\n - UI shows `Handoff cancelled`\n- **Failed**\n - any other thrown error from `handoff()` / `generateHandoff()` / provider request path\n - UI shows `Handoff failed: ...`\n\nAdditional nuance: if generation completes but no text is returned, `handoff()` returns `undefined` and controller currently reports **cancelled**, not **failed**.\n\n## Short-session and minimum-content guardrails\n\nTwo guards prevent low-signal handoffs:\n\n- UI layer (`handleHandoffCommand`): warns and returns early for `< 2` message entries\n- Session layer (`handoff()`): throws the same condition as an error\n\nThis avoids creating a new session with empty/near-empty handoff context.\n\n## Concurrency: the shared session-transition lease\n\n`handoff()` does not run concurrently with any other session-identity transition.\nA single synchronously-acquired lease (`#beginSessionTransition` / `#endSessionTransition`)\nserializes every operation that replaces or rewrites session identity/history:\n\n- `handoff()`\n- `compact()`\n- `newSession()` / `switchSession()` / `branch()` / `clearContext()`\n- `fork()`\n- `navigateTree()`\n\nEach of these acquires the lease at its entry (before its first `await`) and releases\nit in its `finally`. Because acquisition is synchronous and up front, exclusion is\n**symmetric**: whichever transition starts first owns the lease, and any peer that\nstarts while it is held is rejected with an `Error` carrying `code: \"busy\"` and a\nmessage of the form `Cannot start <kind> while a <holder> transition is in progress.`\nThe rejection happens at the peer's own lease-acquisition point, i.e. **before any\nsession mutation**, so a losing transition never partially mutates the session.\n\nAuto-triggered handoff acquires the lease through `handoff()` itself; the maintenance\norchestrator does not hold the lease, so an auto-handoff running inside post-turn\nmaintenance does not self-deadlock even while auto-compaction owns its own abort\ncontroller.\n\nThis lease is distinct from the turn-start guard (`#assertNoHandoffTransition`), which\nfences external turn starters (prompt / steer / follow-up / continuation) for the whole\nhandoff transition and rejects them with `Cannot start a turn while a handoff is in progress.`\n\n## State transition summary\n\nHigh-level state flow:\n\n1. Interactive slash command intercepted.\n2. Preflight message-count guard.\n3. `#handoffAbortController` created (`isGeneratingHandoff = true`).\n4. `generateHandoff(...)` issues one `completeSimple(...)` request with live system prompt, tools, message history, and trailing handoff prompt.\n5. Assistant response text blocks are joined; tool-call blocks are discarded.\n6. If missing text → return `undefined`; if aborted → cancellation error path.\n7. If present:\n - flush old session\n - cancel async jobs\n - create new empty session with previous session as parent\n - reset runtime queues/counters\n - append `custom_message(handoff)`\n - optionally save an auto-triggered handoff document under the session artifacts directory when `compaction.handoffSaveToDisk` is enabled\n8. Controller rebuilds chat UI and announces success.\n9. `#handoffAbortController` cleared (`isGeneratingHandoff = false`).\n\n## Known assumptions and limitations\n\n- No structural validation checks that generated markdown follows the requested section format.\n- Missing generated text is reported as cancellation in controller UX.\n- Manual handoff has no streaming visibility; a cancellable loader is shown until the UI updates after generation completes.\n- Auto-triggered handoffs can save the handoff document as a session artifact (`artifact://<id>`) when `compaction.handoffSaveToDisk` is enabled; save failure is logged and does not fail the handoff.\n",

  "hermes-mcp-bridge.md": "# Coordinator MCP bridge\n\nSKC exposes a native outward MCP bridge for external coordinators:\n\n```bash\nskc mcp-serve coordinator\n```\n\n`skc mcp-serve hermes` is accepted as a compatibility alias for the same coordinator bridge.\n\nThe bridge is intentionally separate from SKC's client-side MCP runtime. It lets an external coordinator discover and control SDK-backed sessions, queue bounded follow-up prompts, read status/artifacts, handle structured questions, and write coordination reports without scraping terminal scrollback.\n\n## Core contract and adapters\n\nThe coordinator bridge is intentionally a core contract with multiple adapters, not an MCP-only or Hermes-only product direction. Hermes is one compatibility preset, not a privileged integration mode:\n\n- `packages/coding-agent/src/coordinator/contract.ts` owns transport-neutral server metadata and tool names.\n- `skc mcp-serve coordinator` is the outward MCP adapter for external agents.\n- `skc coordinator` is the read-only CLI/debug adapter for humans and scripts that need to inspect the same contract without starting MCP transport.\n- `skc setup hermes` is the compatibility setup adapter that renders coordinator config and operator guidance.\n\nFuture session, turn, question, artifact, and report behavior should move toward shared coordinator core services that both MCP and CLI adapters call instead of duplicating transport-specific logic.\n\n## Coordinator setup adapter\n\nUse `skc setup hermes` to render or install a portable MCP setup package for any controller that accepts Hermes-compatible MCP config:\n\n```bash\nskc setup hermes --root /path/to/repo --profile my-bot --repo sayknow-cli\n```\n\nThe default mode is render-only and writes no files. To install into a Hermes profile:\n\n```bash\nskc setup hermes \\\n --root /path/to/repo \\\n --profile my-bot \\\n --repo sayknow-cli \\\n --mutation sessions,questions,reports \\\n --profile-dir /path/to/hermes/profile \\\n --install\n```\n\nThe generated setup is model-agnostic and worktree-isolated. By default it renders `SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_SESSION_COMMAND` as `skc --worktree`, which is a typed selector for SDK lifecycle creation—not a shell command the bridge runs. Spawned sessions launch inside a SKC-managed sibling worktree while SKC retains the source repository as project identity. Users who need a stable named branch can set `--worktree-name`:\n\n```bash\nskc setup hermes \\\n --root /path/to/repo \\\n --worktree-name hermes-sayknow-cli\n```\n\nThe runtime accepts only the literal selectors `skc` and `skc --worktree [name]`. It rejects local wrappers, shell syntax, tmux flags, and model/provider flags before creating a session. Existing setup configs that contain a legacy explicit `--session-command` must be changed to one of those selectors; provider and model resolution remains normal SKC configuration, not coordinator command injection.\n\nRun a non-mutating setup smoke check with:\n\n```bash\nskc setup hermes --root /path/to/repo --smoke\n```\n\nSmoke verifies the MCP server/tool contract. It does not call a downstream LLM and does not validate provider credentials.\n\n\n## Safety model\n\nThe bridge is read-only and fail-closed by default.\n\nRequired root allowlist:\n\n```bash\nexport SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_WORKDIR_ROOTS=\"/path/to/repo:/path/to/worktrees\"\n```\n\nMutating tools require both startup opt-in and per-call consent:\n\n```bash\nexport SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_MUTATIONS=\"sessions,questions,reports\"\n```\n\nEvery mutating MCP call that requires a caller key must include `allow_mutation: true` and the required caller-provided `idempotency_key`. The bridge durably binds the key to the tool and canonical arguments, serializes concurrent duplicates, replays the original bounded public response, and rejects reuse with different arguments as `idempotency_conflict`.\n\n`skc_coordinator_start_session` uses SDK lifecycle control with the configured typed SKC selector. `skc setup hermes` writes `skc --worktree` by default:\n\n```bash\nexport SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_SESSION_COMMAND=\"skc --worktree\"\n```\n\nThe only supported values are `skc` and `skc --worktree [name]`; this variable is never evaluated as a shell command. The coordinator binds registration, reuse, and control to the broker's exact canonical workspace and endpoint generation, then discovers the generation-bound SDK endpoint internally. Endpoint credentials are never persisted in coordinator records or returned by coordinator tools. `skc_coordinator_read_coordination_status` returns a canonical polling snapshot for public session, state, turn, question, report, and bounded event data. Tmux identifiers, when supplied while registering an existing session, are advisory process metadata only; they do not provide control authority, machine viewing, startup, prompt injection, or determine turn completion.\n\nFor resume safety, prefer the generated SKC-native worktree selector over creating a git worktree in Hermes itself. SKC's launch path records the original repo as the project identity while running in the worktree, so session listing/resume can still group the session under the source project. If Hermes creates and later deletes an unmanaged worktree, a saved session may still exist but its cwd can be gone.\n\nArtifact reads are canonicalized, symlink escapes are rejected, and returned content is byte-capped by `SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_ARTIFACT_BYTE_CAP`.\n\n`skc setup hermes` renders `SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_WORKDIR_ROOTS` with the host platform path delimiter (`:` on POSIX, `;` on Windows). Manual configs should prefer the same encoding.\n\n## Optional namespace\n\nUse namespace variables to prevent cross-profile or cross-repo enumeration:\n\n```bash\nexport SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_PROFILE=\"team-a\"\nexport SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_REPO=\"sayknow-cli\"\n```\n\nMissing namespace never widens into global session enumeration.\n\n## Tool surface\n\nRead tools:\n\n- `skc_coordinator_list_sessions`\n- `skc_coordinator_read_status`\n- `skc_coordinator_read_tail`\n- `skc_coordinator_list_questions`\n- `skc_coordinator_list_artifacts`\n- `skc_coordinator_read_artifact`\n- `skc_coordinator_read_coordination_status`\n- `skc_coordinator_read_turn`\n- `skc_coordinator_await_turn`\n- `skc_coordinator_watch_events`\n\n\nMutating tools:\n\n- `skc_coordinator_start_session`\n- `skc_coordinator_register_session`\n- `skc_coordinator_send_prompt`\n- `skc_coordinator_submit_question_answer`\n- `skc_coordinator_report_status`\n- `skc_delegate_plan`\n- `skc_delegate_execute`\n- `skc_delegate_team`\n\nThe `skc_delegate_*` tools are high-level, session-level delegation: each starts (or reuses) an SDK-discovered session and sends one workflow-tagged turn for `/skill:ralplan`, `/skill:ultragoal`, or `/skill:team`, returning a durable `turn_id`, status, and artifact references. They use the same `sessions` mutation class and fail-closed workdir gating as `skc_coordinator_start_session`, and emit a `delegation.started` event. Pass `await_completion: true` to use the durable bounded await/report path; `timeout_ms` and `poll_interval_ms` apply to that completion payload. Without it, the tool returns immediately after SDK acknowledgement. Pass `cwd` and `task`; set `allow_mutation: true` and a caller-provided `idempotency_key` only with startup mutation opt-in plus per-call consent. Optionally pass `mpreset` (same semantics as `skc --mpreset <profile>`) to `skc_coordinator_start_session` or a delegate tool to authoritatively activate a SKC model profile when starting a fresh session — it is resolved through the merged built-in/custom profile registry, applied from the first turn, and surfaced in status; unknown names are rejected with the available-profile listing, and reusing a session with a conflicting `mpreset` fails with `mpreset_conflict`. This is distinct from the advisory `model` prompt hint. Prefer these over manual `start_session` + `send_prompt` when delegating a whole workflow.\n\n`skc_coordinator_register_session` registers an existing SDK-discoverable SKC session for coordinator control. It validates the workdir allowlist and session id, then verifies the broker's exact canonical workspace and endpoint generation before writing a credential-free session record. Optional tmux identifiers are retained only as advisory process metadata and are never machine-read.\n## Turn orchestration flow\n\nExternal coordinators should treat turns, not terminal scrollback, as the unit of work:\n\n1. Call `skc_coordinator_start_session` with `allow_mutation: true` and `idempotency_key`.\n2. Call `skc_coordinator_send_prompt` with `allow_mutation: true` and `idempotency_key`.\n3. Store the returned `turn_id`.\n4. Poll `skc_coordinator_read_turn`, or call bounded `skc_coordinator_await_turn`, until the turn is terminal.\n5. Pull `skc_coordinator_list_questions` with the required `session_id`; it reconciles pending `workflow.gates.list` rows and returns bounded questions, diagnostics, and reconciliation state. Submit each pending row with `skc_coordinator_submit_question_answer`.\n\n6. Use `skc_coordinator_report_status` with `session_id` and `turn_id` to write explicit completion/failure evidence.\n Use `status: \"cancelled\"` for coordinator-policy cancellation, and `status: \"failed\"` plus `blocker` for provider/tool/task failures.\n\n`skc_coordinator_send_prompt` returns versioned top-level routing fields that exactly mirror its nested durable `turn`: `status`, `queued`, and `delivered` equal `turn.status`, `turn.delivery.queued`, and `turn.delivery.delivered`; `active_turn_id` is the new turn id unless this response queued a follow-up, in which case it is the existing active turn id.\n\n```json\n{\n \"ok\": true,\n \"session_id\": \"skc-coordinator-demo\",\n \"turn_id\": \"turn-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\",\n \"active_turn_id\": \"turn-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\",\n \"status\": \"active\",\n \"queued\": false,\n \"delivered\": true\n}\n```\n\nA session may have only one active turn by default. A second prompt is rejected with `active_turn_exists` unless the caller explicitly passes `queue: true` or `force: true`. Queued turns are durable and the next queued turn is promoted when the active turn reaches a terminal `skc_coordinator_report_status`. Force supersedes the previous active turn and audits that state in the turn journal.\nCoordinator cancellation is recorded through `skc_coordinator_report_status` with terminal `status: \"cancelled\"`; this updates durable turn state but does not control any process. If the correct policy is replacement work rather than cancellation, send the replacement prompt with `force: true` so the previous active turn is superseded and audited.\n\n`skc_coordinator_read_turn` returns the authoritative durable turn and SDK-only advisory status. For the latest assistant output, use `skc_coordinator_read_tail`; it queries `session.last_assistant` through the session SDK and returns only the requested bounded line suffix, never terminal output.\n\n```json\n{\n \"ok\": true,\n \"turn\": {\n \"schema_version\": 1,\n \"turn_id\": \"turn-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\",\n \"session_id\": \"skc-coordinator-demo\",\n \"status\": \"completed\",\n \"final_response\": {\n \"text\": \"Done\",\n \"format\": \"markdown\",\n \"source\": \"report_status\",\n \"artifact_path\": null,\n \"truncated\": false\n },\n \"evidence\": [{ \"path\": \"artifact.txt\" }],\n \"error\": null\n },\n \"advisory_status\": {\n \"authority\": \"sdk\",\n \"live\": true,\n \"is_streaming\": false\n }\n}\n```\n\nThe coordinator MCP bridge is currently a durable polling/await surface. It does not expose a push subscription stream; external coordinators should poll `skc_coordinator_read_coordination_status`, `skc_coordinator_read_turn`, or bounded `skc_coordinator_await_turn` instead of waiting for server-sent push events.\n\nExternal `session_id`, `turn_id`, and `question_id` values are validated before path use, and loaded records must match the requested session/turn owner.\n\n### Coordinator question pull loop\n\n`skc_coordinator_list_questions` requires `session_id` and reconciles the session's pending `workflow.gates.list` rows on every call. Its bounded response contains public `questions`, `diagnostics`, and `reconciliation`; `status: \"pending\"` selects pending rows, while `status: \"open\"` remains a compatibility alias. More than one pending question may be returned. Public rows expose only the safe question shape, public option ids, and a fresh `answer_binding` for each pending row—never raw/private gate payloads or values.\n\n`skc_coordinator_submit_question_answer` requires `session_id`, `turn_id`, `question_id`, `answer_binding`, `answer`, `idempotency_key`, and `allow_mutation: true`. Copy the identifiers and binding from the pending row and use the advertised answer shape. The bridge re-reconciles and revalidates ownership, pending state, and the binding before calling `workflow.gate_answer`; it never invokes generic `ask.answer`. An incomplete snapshot fails as `terminal_uncertain`; stale, terminal, missing, or ownership-mismatched rows are non-answerable. Restart can remint or quarantine gates, so re-list instead of reusing old rows. Identical idempotent replay returns the original accepted result; the same key with different arguments fails `idempotency_conflict`.\n\nThis pull-loop contract is independent of #2549/#2551 and unattended plain-CLI handling.\n\n## Coordinator event journal\n\nThe bridge persists a restart-safe event journal under the configured coordinator state namespace, for example:\n\n```text\n$SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_STATE_ROOT/<profile>/<repo>/events/event-journal.jsonl\n```\n\nEach event is a bounded JSONL record with `schema_version`, monotonic namespace-local `seq`, stable `id`, `timestamp`, canonical `kind`, optional `session_id`/`turn_id`/`question_id`/`report_id`, short `summary`, optional `payload_ref`, and bounded scalar `metadata`. Full prompts, reports, final responses, and artifacts stay in their existing turn/report/artifact read paths; event records only point at them.\n\n`skc_coordinator_watch_events` is a bounded long-poll MCP tool, not an unbounded stream. Inputs are `after_seq` (default `0`), optional `session_id`, optional `event_types`, `timeout_ms` capped at 30000, and `limit` capped at 100. If matching events already exist after `after_seq`, it returns immediately. Otherwise it waits for the event journal to change or for timeout. The response includes `events`, `latest_seq`, `timed_out`, and `transport: { \"mcp\": \"long_poll\", \"push_subscriptions\": false }`, so coordinators can persist `latest_seq` and resume safely after restart.\n\n`skc_coordinator_read_coordination_status` keeps its existing report fields and now also includes `latest_event_seq` plus recent event summaries for snapshot-style consumers.\n\n## Generic controller config snippet\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcp_servers\": {\n \"skc_coordinator\": {\n \"command\": \"skc\",\n \"args\": [\"mcp-serve\", \"coordinator\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_WORKDIR_ROOTS\": \"/path/to/repo\",\n \"SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_PROFILE\": \"team-a\",\n \"SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_REPO\": \"project\",\n \"SKC_COORDINATOR_MCP_SESSION_COMMAND\": \"skc --worktree\"\n },\n \"enabled\": true\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n## Smoke check\n\n```bash\nskc mcp-serve coordinator --check --json\n```\n\nExpected result includes `ok: true`, server name `skc-coordinator-mcp`, and the SKC-named tool list. The JSON check is discovery-only and non-mutating: it retains those legacy fields and adds `catalog: { \"ready\": true, \"reason\": null }` and `broker`. `broker.discovery_status` is `ready`, `unavailable`, or `error`, with reason `null`, `absent_or_invalid`, `unsupported_state_version`, `discovery_access_denied`, or `discovery_read_failed`. `broker.operational_ready` is always `null`; the check does not connect, ensure/bootstrap, write, repair, or delete. `bootstrap_supported` is `true` and `bootstrap_attempted` is `false`. It does not expose broker authority, path, endpoint, process metadata, token, or raw error details. `skc mcp-serve hermes --check --json` returns the identical coordinator check payload; its human output remains the server/tools summary.\n",

  "hotspot-map-successor.md": "# cpu-hotspot-map.json — successor pointer\n\n[`cpu-hotspot-map.json`](./cpu-hotspot-map.json) is **closed out**.

Do **not** treat it as an open implementation backlog.\n\nThat map was a **static structural ranking** (algorithmic complexity × trigger frequency). Its `method` field records that real CPU self-time was \"to be measured by the agreed profiling corpus during optimization.\"\n\nFuture perf prioritization comes from the **profiling corpus**, not from this static map:\n\n- Evidence classes (`wallClockPhase`, `processCpuUsage`, `profilerSelfTime`, `rssMemory`, `byteParity`) and the corpus schema: see `docs/perf-profiling-corpus.md` (added with the corpus foundation).\n- Native algorithmic ports proposed for leftover hotspots are gated by [`native-ffi-optimization-policy.md`](./native-ffi-optimization-policy.md).\n\nA hotspot may be labeled `CPU-self-time confirmed` only when a `profilerSelfTime` artifact exists; v1–v3 shipped wins are otherwise classified as `covered-current`, `not-visible`, `needs-trace-coverage`, or `fallback-toggle-confirmed`.\n",

- "keybindings.md": "# Keybindings\n\nRun `/hotkeys` inside an `skc` session to see the active chords for your current build. The list reflects any remaps loaded from disk and any bindings added by extensions.\n\n## Customize keybindings\n\nUser remaps live in `~/.skc/agent/keybindings.json`. The file is a JSON object whose keys are keybinding action IDs and whose values are either one chord string or an array of chord strings. It is not read from `~/.skc/agent/config.yml`, and there is no nested `keybindings` object.\n\n```json\n{\n \"app.commandPalette.open\": \"ctrl+p\",\n \"app.model.cycleForward\": \"alt+n\",\n \"app.model.selectTemporary\": \"alt+p\",\n \"app.plan.toggle\": \"alt+shift+p\"\n}\n```\n\nChord names are case-insensitive. New configuration should use canonical textual IDs rather than matching the labels shown in the UI.\nConfiguration uses portable canonical key IDs, not the labels printed by a particular host: use `ctrl`, `alt`, `shift`, and `super` with a key name, for example `ctrl+p`, `alt+enter`, `shift+tab`, and `super+c`. Matching is case-insensitive, but new configuration should use this canonical textual form so the same file remains portable.\n\nRuntime UI labels are platform-native. On macOS, `Ctrl`, `Alt`, `Shift`, and `Super` display as `⌃`, `⌥`, `⇧`, and `⌘`; MacBook keycaps such as Return, Escape, Tab, Delete, and the arrow keys display as `↩`, `⎋`, `⇥`, `⌫`/`⌦`, and arrows. These glyphs are display labels only: configure `super+c`, not `⌘C`, and `alt+enter`, not `⌥↩`.\nOn macOS, Option shortcuts work only when the terminal sends Option as Meta/Esc or uses an enhanced keyboard protocol that reports the modifier. Command/Super is usually handled by the terminal or operating system and does not reach SKC. Windows Alt and macOS Option both use the canonical `alt` ID in configuration. Text produced by an Option key as composed Unicode cannot be reverse-inferred as an Option chord.\n\nFor terminals that do not forward Option, remap the queue actions to canonical Control chords (choose unclaimed chords appropriate for your terminal), for example:\n\n```json\n{\n \"app.message.queue\": \"ctrl+q\",\n \"app.message.dequeue\": [\"ctrl+pageup\", \"ctrl+pagedown\"]\n}\n```\nStatic onboarding and generated reference material describe shipped defaults and must stay host-independent. The active runtime surface is authoritative for effective bindings after user remaps and extensions load: use `/hotkeys` to see those bindings on the current platform.\n\nSet an action to an empty array to disable it:\n\n```json\n{\n \"app.stt.toggle\": []\n}\n```\n\n## Common action IDs\n\n| Action ID | Default | Meaning |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `app.commandPalette.open` | `ctrl+p` | Open the command palette |\n| `app.model.cycleForward` | `alt+n` | Cycle role models forward |\n| `app.model.cycleBackward` | `alt+shift+n` | Cycle role models backward |\n| `app.model.selectTemporary` | `alt+p` | Pick a model temporarily for this session |\n| `app.model.select` | `ctrl+l` | Open the model selector and set roles |\n| `app.plan.toggle` | `alt+shift+p` | Toggle plan mode |\n| `app.history.search` | `ctrl+r` | Search prompt history |\n| `app.tools.expand` | `ctrl+o` | Toggle tool-output expansion |\n| `app.thinking.toggle` | `ctrl+t` | Toggle thinking-block visibility |\n| `app.thinking.cycle` | `shift+tab` | Cycle thinking level |\n| `app.editor.external` | `ctrl+g` | Edit the draft in `$VISUAL` / `$EDITOR` |\n| `app.message.followUp` | _(none)_ | Optional remap for a follow-up message; `ctrl+enter` is reserved for editor newline |\n| `app.message.queue` | `alt+enter` (`alt+q` on darwin/win32) | Explicitly queue a message for the next turn |\n| `app.message.dequeue` | `alt+up`, `alt+down` | Open the queue and select a queued message to edit |\n\n| `app.clipboard.copyLine` | `alt+shift+l` | Copy the current line |\n| `app.clipboard.copyPrompt` | `alt+shift+c` | Copy the whole prompt |\n| `app.stt.toggle` | `alt+h` | Toggle speech-to-text recording |\n| `app.irc.sidebar.toggle` | `alt+i` | Toggle IRC sidebar |\n\nOlder unqualified action names are migrated when `keybindings.json` is loaded, but new docs and new configs should use the namespaced action IDs above.\n\nOn macOS, Option+Q queues a message for the next turn; on native Windows terminals, the equivalent default is Alt+Q. Windows Terminal and PowerShell commonly reserve Alt+Enter for fullscreen before SKC can receive it. Users who prefer another chord can remap `app.message.queue` in `~/.skc/agent/keybindings.json`.\n\nWhen messages are queued, use Option+Up/Down on macOS (Alt+Up/Down on Windows) to open the queue and select a message. In the queue, Return edits the selected message, Forward Delete (`⌦`; Fn+Delete on compact Mac keyboards) removes it, Control+Up/Down reorders it within its delivery group, and Escape closes the queue. Reordering does not convert compaction, steer, and follow-up messages into one another.\n\nIn the main SKC composer, plain `PageUp` / `PageDown` page the visible transcript lane instead of browsing prompt history; the status line and composer remain fixed at the bottom while manually scrolled. When SKC owns mouse input (`mouse.enabled: true`), the wheel moves the transcript by three rows per notch. Ordinary typing or paste keeps editor focus and returns to live output before editing; use `Up` / `Down` or `Ctrl+R` for prompt history. Autocomplete and selector surfaces still use `PageUp` / `PageDown` for list paging while they have focus.\n\n## Auditing default-key collisions\n\nSome default chords are intentionally reused across different UI contexts, where the focused component disambiguates them at dispatch time. For example `Enter` maps to both input submit and selection confirm, and `Ctrl+C` maps to both input copy and selection cancel. These are not conflicts — only one context is active at a time.\n\nTo audit the registry for keys whose default binding is claimed by more than one action, use `detectDefaultKeyCollisions(definitions)` from `@sayknow-cli/tui/keybindings`. It returns one entry per colliding key with the list of claiming action IDs, which is useful when adding new defaults or reviewing the surface. User-remap conflicts (multiple actions bound to the same chord in `keybindings.json`) continue to be reported separately by `KeybindingsManager.getConflicts()`.\n\nTwo audit clarifications for the current surface:\n\n- `app.clipboard.copyLine` is registry-backed and dispatched through the input controller's custom key handlers, not hardcoded.\n- `tui.input.copy` is declared in the registry but is not currently dispatched by `Editor.handleInput`.\n\nThe editor's configurable action defaults (including the platform-aware `app.clipboard.pasteImage` default) are derived directly from the central `KEYBINDINGS` registry, so there is a single source of truth for those defaults.\n\n## Current surface audit\n\nAuthoritative inventory of the keybinding registry, one row per action.

  "lsp-config.md": "# LSP configuration in SKC\n\nThis guide explains how to configure language servers for the SKC coding agent.\n\nSource of truth in code:\n\n- Server config type: `packages/coding-agent/src/lsp/types.ts` (`ServerConfig`)\n- Config loader: `packages/coding-agent/src/lsp/config.ts`\n- Built-in server definitions: `packages/coding-agent/src/lsp/defaults.json`\n\n## Auto-detection\n\nWhen no LSP config file is present, SKC auto-detects servers by intersecting two conditions:\n\n1. The project directory contains at least one of the server's `rootMarkers`.\n2. The server binary is a trusted external executable. Project-local binaries, including paths reached through symlinks, are rejected.\n\nNo configuration is required for common setups. The built-in server list covers most popular languages; see [`defaults.json`](../packages/coding-agent/src/lsp/defaults.json) for the full set.\n\n## Config file locations\n\nSKC merges LSP config from multiple files, lowest to highest priority:\n\n| Priority | Location |\n|----------|----------|\n| 5 (lowest) | `~/lsp.json`, `~/.lsp.json`, `~/lsp.yaml`, `~/.lsp.yaml` |\n| 4 | Preloaded trusted external plugin LSP config outside the project (internal loader support; no current CLI/startup producer) |\n| 3 | `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json`, `~/.skc/agent/lsp.yaml`, `~/.gemini/lsp.*` |\n| 2 | `<project>/.skc/lsp.json`, `<project>/.skc/lsp.yaml`, `<project>/.gemini/lsp.*` |\n| 1 (highest) | `<project>/lsp.json`, `<project>/.lsp.json`, `<project>/lsp.yaml` |\n\nEach location accepts both `.json` and `.yaml` / `.yml` variants, as well as hidden-file versions (`.lsp.json`, `.lsp.yaml`). Configuration is merged in order, but project-controlled files can only control declarative server matching, activation, and capabilities. They cannot define or override a server's `command`, `args`, executable, client factory, `initOptions` / `initializationOptions`, or `settings`; opaque options that can instruct a trusted server belong to trusted user configuration.\n\nThe recommended trusted user configuration is `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json` (or YAML equivalent). Legacy user-wide `~/.gemini/lsp.*` and home-root `~/lsp.*` / `~/.lsp.*` files are also outside the project and may define launch settings and opaque server options, including custom servers. Project files may refine declarative matching and activation fields of built-in or user-defined servers.\n\n**Recommended locations:**\n\n- Trusted user launch settings, `initOptions`, and `settings` → `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json`\n- Project-specific matching and activation → `<project>/.skc/lsp.json`\n\n> **Note:** The presence of any LSP config file disables auto-detection. When at least one file is found, SKC skips the binary-scan phase and loads matching, available, non-disabled servers using trusted launch definitions.\n\n## File shape\n\nBoth JSON and YAML are accepted. The top-level object can use either a `servers` wrapper key or a flat map directly:\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": {\n \"server-name\": { ... }\n },\n \"idleTimeoutMs\": 300000\n}\n```\n\nor (flat, without the `servers` wrapper):\n\n```json\n{\n \"server-name\": { ... },\n \"idleTimeoutMs\": 300000\n}\n```\n\nTop-level keys:\n\n- `servers` — map of server name to `ServerConfig` (optional wrapper; flat form is equivalent)\n- `idleTimeoutMs` — shut down idle language servers after this many milliseconds; disabled by default\n\n## ServerConfig fields\n\n| Field | Type | Required | Description |\n|-------|------|----------|-------------|\n| `command` | `string` | trusted user config only | Server executable name or absolute path; project configuration cannot set or override it |\n| `args` | `string[]` | no | Launch arguments; trusted user config only |\n| `fileTypes` | `string[]` | yes | File extensions this server handles, e.g. `[\".ts\", \".tsx\"]` |\n| `rootMarkers` | `string[]` | yes | Files/dirs that indicate a project root; glob patterns (e.g. `*.cabal`) are supported |\n| `initOptions` | `object` | trusted user config only | Sent as `initializationOptions` during LSP handshake |\n| `settings` | `object` | trusted user config only | Workspace settings pushed via `workspace/didChangeConfiguration` |\n| `disabled` | `boolean` | no | Set to `true` to disable this server entirely |\n| `warmupTimeoutMs` | `number` | no | Startup timeout in ms for this server (overrides the global default) |\n| `isLinter` | `boolean` | no | Mark server as linter/formatter only; excluded from type-intelligence operations (hover, go-to-definition, etc.) |\n| `capabilities` | `object` | no | Opt-in server-specific features; see [Capabilities](#capabilities) |\n\n`resolvedCommand` is populated automatically at runtime — do not set it manually.\n\n### Capabilities\n\nThe `capabilities` object enables optional server-specific features that SKC supports on a per-server basis:\n\n```json\n{\n \"capabilities\": {\n \"flycheck\": true,\n \"ssr\": true,\n \"expandMacro\": true,\n \"runnables\": true,\n \"relatedTests\": true\n }\n}\n```\n\nAll fields are boolean and optional. They are currently used by `rust-analyzer`.\n\n## Common recipes\n\n### Override a built-in server's settings from trusted user configuration\n\nOpaque server settings may contain process-affecting instructions, so place these partial overrides in trusted user configuration such as `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": {\n \"typescript-language-server\": {\n \"settings\": {\n \"typescript\": {\n \"preferences\": {\n \"quoteStyle\": \"single\"\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nservers:\n gopls:\n settings:\n gopls:\n gofumpt: false\n staticcheck: false\n```\n\n### Disable a built-in server\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": {\n \"eslint\": {\n \"disabled\": true\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Register a custom server\n\nRegister custom servers in the canonical trusted user configuration, `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json`. New servers require `command`, `fileTypes`, and `rootMarkers`; `args` is optional. Project configuration cannot register a launch definition or override a server's command, arguments, executable, or client factory.\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": {\n \"my-lsp\": {\n \"command\": \"my-lsp-server\",\n \"args\": [\"--stdio\"],\n \"fileTypes\": [\".xyz\"],\n \"rootMarkers\": [\".xyz-project\", \".git\"]\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Set a global idle timeout\n\nShut down language servers that have been inactive for more than five minutes:\n\n```json\n{\n \"idleTimeoutMs\": 300000\n}\n```\n\n### Disable a server for one project, keep it globally\n\nPlace the override in `<project>/.skc/lsp.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": {\n \"pylsp\": {\n \"disabled\": true\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nThe user-level config in `~/.skc/agent/lsp.json` is unaffected; pylsp is only suppressed in this project.\n\nWhen multiple built-in primary servers support the same file, a default server can list lower-precedence servers in `supersedes`. For example, `csharp-ls` supersedes `omnisharp` only when both C# servers are installed and detected; if `csharp-ls` is unavailable, `omnisharp` remains the fallback.\n\n## lspmux\n\n`SKC_DISABLE_LSPMUX=1` is the canonical opt-out. `PI_DISABLE_LSPMUX=1` is a supported compatibility alias. A truthy value for either variable disables lspmux probing and wrapping.\n\n## Built-in server list\n\nThe following servers ship in `defaults.json` and are eligible for auto-detection:\n\n| Server key | Language(s) | Binary |\n|---|---|---|\n| `rust-analyzer` | Rust | `rust-analyzer` |\n| `clangd` | C, C++, ObjC | `clangd` |\n| `zls` | Zig | `zls` |\n| `gopls` | Go | `gopls` |\n| `typescript-language-server` | TypeScript, JavaScript | `typescript-language-server` |\n| `denols` | TypeScript, JavaScript (Deno) | `deno` |\n| `biome` | TS/JS/JSON (linter) | `biome` |\n| `eslint` | TS/JS/Vue/Svelte (linter) | `vscode-eslint-language-server` |\n| `vscode-html-language-server` | HTML | `vscode-html-language-server` |\n| `vscode-css-language-server` | CSS, SCSS, Less | `vscode-css-language-server` |\n| `vscode-json-language-server` | JSON | `vscode-json-language-server` |\n| `tailwindcss` | HTML, CSS, TS/JS | `tailwindcss-language-server` |\n| `svelte` | Svelte | `svelteserver` |\n| `vue-language-server` | Vue | `vue-language-server` |\n| `astro` | Astro | `astro-ls` |\n| `pyright` | Python | `pyright-langserver` |\n| `basedpyright` | Python | `basedpyright-langserver` |\n| `pylsp` | Python | `pylsp` |\n| `ruff` | Python (linter) | `ruff` |\n| `jdtls` | Java | `jdtls` |\n| `kotlin-lsp` | Kotlin | `kotlin-lsp` |\n| `metals` | Scala | `metals` |\n| `hls` | Haskell | `haskell-language-server-wrapper` |\n| `ocamllsp` | OCaml | `ocamllsp` |\n| `elixirls` | Elixir | `elixir-ls` |\n| `erlangls` | Erlang | `erlang_ls` |\n| `gleam` | Gleam | `gleam` |\n| `solargraph` | Ruby | `solargraph` |\n| `ruby-lsp` | Ruby | `ruby-lsp` |\n| `rubocop` | Ruby (linter) | `rubocop` |\n| `bashls` | Bash, Zsh | `bash-language-server` |\n| `lua-language-server` | Lua | `lua-language-server` |\n| `intelephense` | PHP | `intelephense` |\n| `phpactor` | PHP | `phpactor` |\n| `csharp-ls` | C# | `csharp-ls` |\n| `omnisharp` | C# | `omnisharp` |\n| `yamlls` | YAML | `yaml-language-server` |\n| `terraformls` | Terraform | `terraform-ls` |\n| `dockerls` | Dockerfile | `docker-langserver` |\n| `helm-ls` | Helm | `helm_ls` |\n| `nixd` | Nix | `nixd` |\n| `nil` | Nix | `nil` |\n| `ols` | Odin | `ols` |\n| `dartls` | Dart | `dart` |\n| `marksman` | Markdown | `marksman` |\n| `texlab` | LaTeX | `texlab` |\n| `graphql` | GraphQL | `graphql-lsp` |\n| `prismals` | Prisma | `prisma-language-server` |\n| `vimls` | Vim script | `vim-language-server` |\n| `emmet-language-server` | HTML, CSS, JSX | `emmet-language-server` |\n| `sourcekit-lsp` | Swift | `sourcekit-lsp` |\n| `swiftlint` | Swift (linter) | `swiftlint` |\n| `tlaplus` | TLA+ | `tlapm_lsp` |\n",

  "memory.md": "# Autonomous Memory\n\nWhen enabled, the agent automatically extracts durable knowledge from past sessions and injects a compact summary into each new session. Over time it builds a project-scoped memory store — technical decisions, recurring workflows, pitfalls — that carries forward without manual effort.\n\nDisabled by default. Enable via `/settings` or `config.yml`:\n\n```yaml\nmemories:\n enabled: true\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### What gets injected\n\nAt session start, if a memory summary exists for the current project, it is injected into the system prompt as a **Memory Guidance** block. The agent is instructed to:\n\n- Treat memory as heuristic context — useful for process and prior decisions, not authoritative on current repo state.\n- Pair memory-influenced decisions with current-repo evidence before acting.\n- Prefer repo state and user instruction when they conflict with memory; treat conflicting memory as stale.\n\n### Memory artifacts\n\nGenerated local-memory artifacts are private runtime state, not a public tool or URI surface. They may be summarized into the system prompt when local memory is enabled, but users and model-facing tool docs should not rely on direct `memory://` reads. The legacy internal `memory://` resolver remains only for compatibility with existing persisted guidance and is not part of the public coding harness contract; remove it after legacy local-memory prompts no longer reference it.\n### `/memory` slash command\n\n| Subcommand | Effect |\n| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |\n| `view` | Show the current memory injection payload |\n| `clear` / `reset` | Delete all memory data and generated artifacts |\n| `enqueue` / `rebuild` | Force consolidation to run at next startup |\n\n## How it works\n\nMemories are built by a background pipeline that runs at startup or when manually triggered via slash command.\n\n**Phase 1 — per-session extraction:** For each past session that has changed since it was last processed, a model reads the session history and extracts durable signal: technical decisions, constraints, resolved failures, recurring workflows. Sessions that are too recent, too old, or currently active are skipped. Each extraction produces a raw memory block and a short synopsis for that session.\n\n**Phase 2 — consolidation:** After extraction, a second model pass reads all per-session extractions and produces three outputs written to disk:\n\n- `MEMORY.md` — a curated long-term memory document\n- `memory_summary.md` — the compact text injected at session start\n- `skills/` — reusable procedural playbooks, each in its own subdirectory\n\nPhase 2 uses a lease to prevent double-running when multiple processes start simultaneously. Stale skill directories from prior runs are pruned automatically.\n\nAll output is scanned for secrets before being written to disk.\n\n### Extraction behavior\n\nMemory extraction and consolidation behavior is driven by static prompt files in `packages/coding-agent/src/prompts/memories/`.\n\n| File | Purpose | Variables |\n| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |\n| `stage_one_system.md` | System prompt for per-session extraction | — |\n| `stage_one_input.md` | User-turn template wrapping session content | `{{thread_id}}`, `{{response_items_json}}` |\n| `consolidation.md` | Prompt for cross-session consolidation | `{{raw_memories}}`, `{{rollout_summaries}}` |\n| `read_path.md` | Memory guidance injected into live sessions | `{{memory_summary}}` |\n\n### Model selection\n\nMemory piggybacks on the model role system.\n\n| Phase | Role | Purpose |\n| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |\n| Phase 1 (extraction) | `default` | Per-session knowledge extraction |\n| Phase 2 (consolidation) | `smol` (falls back to `default`, then current/first registry model) | Cross-session synthesis |\n\nIf the requested memory role is not configured, memory model resolution falls back to the `default` role, then the active session model, then the first model in the registry.\n\n## Configuration\n\n| Setting | Default | Description |\n| ------------------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `memories.enabled` | `false` | Master switch |\n| `memories.maxRolloutAgeDays` | `30` | Sessions older than this are not processed |\n| `memories.minRolloutIdleHours` | `12` | Sessions active more recently than this are skipped |\n| `memories.maxRolloutsPerStartup` | `64` | Cap on sessions processed in a single startup |\n| `memories.summaryInjectionTokenLimit` | `5000` | Max tokens of the summary injected into the system prompt |\n\nAdditional tuning knobs (concurrency, lease durations, token budgets) are available in config for advanced use.\n\n## Key files\n\n- `packages/coding-agent/src/memories/index.ts` — pipeline orchestration, injection, slash command handling\n- `packages/coding-agent/src/memories/storage.ts` — SQLite-backed job queue and thread registry\n- `packages/coding-agent/src/prompts/memories/` — memory prompt templates\n- `packages/coding-agent/src/internal-urls/memory-protocol.ts` — legacy non-public `memory://` compatibility handler\n",

  "models.md": "# Model and Provider Configuration (`models.yml`)\n\nThis document describes how the coding-agent currently loads models, applies overrides, resolves credentials, and chooses models at runtime.\n\n## What controls model behavior\n\nPrimary implementation files:\n\n- `src/config/model-registry.ts` — loads built-in + custom models, provider overrides, runtime discovery, auth integration\n- `src/config/model-resolver.ts` — parses model patterns and selects models for the default and agent roles\n- `src/config/settings-schema.ts` — model-related settings (`modelRoles`, provider transport preferences)\n- `src/session/auth-storage.ts` — API key + OAuth resolution order\n- `packages/ai/src/models.ts` and `packages/ai/src/types.ts` — built-in providers/models and `Model`/`compat` types\n\n## Config file location and legacy behavior\n\nDefault config path:\n\n- `~/.skc/agent/models.yml`\n\nLegacy behavior still present:\n\n- If `models.yml` is missing and `models.json` exists at the same location, it is migrated to `models.yml`.\n- Explicit `.json` / `.jsonc` config paths are still supported when passed programmatically to `ModelRegistry`.\n\n## `models.yml` shape\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n <provider-id>:\n # provider-level config\nequivalence:\n overrides:\n <provider-id>/<model-id>: <canonical-model-id>\n exclude:\n - <provider-id>/<model-id>\n```\n\n`provider-id` is the canonical provider key used across selection and auth lookup.\n\n`equivalence` is optional and configures canonical model grouping on top of concrete provider models:\n\n- `overrides` maps an exact concrete selector (`provider/modelId`) to an official upstream canonical id\n- `exclude` opts a concrete selector out of canonical grouping\n\n## Provider-level fields\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n my-provider:\n baseUrl: https://api.example.com/v1\n apiKey: MY_PROVIDER_API_KEY\n api: openai-completions\n headers:\n X-Team: platform\n authHeader: true\n auth: apiKey\n disableStrictTools: false # set true for Anthropic-compatible endpoints that reject the strict field\n cacheRetention: short # none | short | long; model entries and modelOverrides can override this\n discovery:\n type: ollama\n modelOverrides:\n some-model-id:\n name: Renamed model\n cacheRetention: long\n models:\n - id: some-model-id\n name: Some Model\n api: openai-completions\n reasoning: false\n input: [text]\n cost:\n input: 0\n output: 0\n cacheRead: 0\n cacheWrite: 0\n contextWindow: 128000\n maxTokens: 16384\n headers:\n X-Model: value\n cacheRetention: none\n thinking:\n minLevel: low\n maxLevel: xhigh\n mode: effort\n defaultLevel: high\n levels: [low, medium, high, xhigh]\n compat:\n supportsStore: true\n supportsDeveloperRole: true\n supportsReasoningEffort: true\n maxTokensField: max_completion_tokens\n openRouterRouting:\n only: [anthropic]\n vercelGatewayRouting:\n order: [anthropic, openai]\n extraBody:\n gateway: m1-01\n controller: mlx\nmodelBindings:\n modelRoles:\n default: my-provider/some-model-id:high\n agentModelOverrides:\n executor: my-provider/some-model-id\n```\n\n### Allowed provider/model `api` values\n\n- `openai-completions`\n- `openai-responses`\n- `openai-codex-responses`\n- `azure-openai-responses`\n- `bedrock-converse-stream`\n- `anthropic-messages`\n- `bedrock-converse-stream`\n- `google-generative-ai`\n- `google-vertex`\n- `google-gemini-cli`\n- `ollama-chat`\n- `cursor-agent`\n\n\n### First-class Azure OpenAI and Amazon Bedrock examples\n\nAzure OpenAI uses canonical OpenAI model IDs in SKC and resolves those IDs to Azure deployment names at request time. Set `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME_MAP` to avoid assuming model id equals deployment name:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n azure-openai:\n baseUrl: https://my-resource.openai.azure.com/openai/v1\n apiKeyEnv: AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY\n api: azure-openai-responses\n models:\n - id: gpt-4.1\n - id: o3\n```\n\n```sh\nexport AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME_MAP='gpt-4.1=gpt-41-prod,o3=o3-reasoning-prod'\n```\n\nAmazon Bedrock uses the native `bedrock-converse-stream` transport and AWS credential chain auth. Do not put AWS access keys in `models.yml`; configure `AWS_REGION` / `AWS_PROFILE` or standard static AWS credential environment variables instead:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n amazon-bedrock:\n baseUrl: https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\n api: bedrock-converse-stream\n models:\n - id: us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1\n - id: anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0\n```\n\n### MiniMax and GLM custom provider examples\n\nFor common MiniMax and GLM/zAI setup, prefer the provider presets so the OpenAI-compatible API, base URL, env var, model id, and compatibility flags are written together:\n\n```sh\nskc setup provider --preset minimax\nskc setup provider --preset minimax-cn\nskc setup provider --preset glm\nskc setup provider --preset alibaba-token-plan\n```\n\nThe same presets are available inside the TUI:\n\n```text\n/provider add --preset minimax\n/provider add --preset glm\n/provider add zai\n/provider add --preset alibaba-token-plan\n```\n\nPresets only write `models.yml` entries that reference documented environment variable names (`MINIMAX_CODE_API_KEY`, `MINIMAX_CODE_CN_API_KEY`, `ZAI_API_KEY`, or `ALIBABA_TOKEN_PLAN_API_KEY`); they do not store or validate real credentials. The GLM preset aliases (`glm`, `zai`, `z-ai`) write an OpenAI-compatible custom provider named `glm-proxy` and do not replace the first-class `zai` provider. The Alibaba Token Plan preset (aliases: alibaba, token-plan) writes an OpenAI-compatible custom provider named alibaba-token-plan with per-model API routing (qwen3.8-max-preview uses openai-responses; glm-5.2 and deepseek-v4-pro use openai-completions).\n\n## Model profiles (`--mpreset`)\n\nModel profiles are optional top-level `profiles:` entries in `~/.skc/agent/models.yml`. A profile can require provider credentials before activation and can map one or more model roles; omitted roles inherit from the active defaults.\n\n> See also: [Cross-vendor role-based profiles](./multi-vendor-profiles.md) — a curated multi-vendor `profiles:` recipe and verified selector notes that build on the mechanism described here.\n\n```yaml\nprofiles:\n team-standard:\n required_providers: [openai, anthropic]\n model_mapping:\n default: openai/gpt-5.2\n executor: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6:medium\n architect: openai/o3:high\n planner: openai/o3:high\n critic: openai/o3:high\n```\n\n`model_mapping` keys are role names (`default`, `executor`, `architect`, `planner`, `critic`). Each role maps to exactly one model selector in the form `provider/modelId[:effort]`; comma-separated fallback chains are not supported in a single role value.\n`required_providers` is the aggregate set of providers required across the profile's mapped roles, not a per-role fallback chain.\n\nBuilt-in profiles are grouped by provider mix and tier:\n\n- `codex-{eco,medium,pro}` — all roles on `openai-codex/gpt-5.5`, differing only by per-role reasoning effort\n- `opencodego` — single OpenCode Go preset (Kimi default, DeepSeek executor/architect, Qwen planner, MiMo critic)\n- `claude-opus` — Anthropic OAuth preset centered on `claude-opus-5`\n- `claude-opus-5-5` — Anthropic preset centered on `claude-opus-5-5` (`xhigh` default, `max` architect, `high` critic, `medium` planner, `claude-sonnet-5` executor). Recommended automatically after an Anthropic login; `claude-opus` stays available for the Opus 5 cost/effort shape.\n- Single-provider tiers: `glm-{eco,medium,pro}`, `kimi-coding-plan-{eco,medium,pro}`, `mimo-{eco,medium,pro}`, `grok-{eco,medium,pro}`, `cursor-{eco,medium,pro}`, `minimax-{eco,medium,pro}`\n- Combos: `opus-codex` (Claude main agent with Codex support roles), `codex-opencodego` (Codex orchestrator/architect with OpenCode Go workers)\n\nThe `eco`, `medium`, and `pro` Codex profile mappings are current product judgments: Eco assigns Terra low/Luna low/Luna high/Terra xhigh/Terra high to default/executor/planner/critic/architect; Medium assigns Sol low/Terra low/Terra high/Sol xhigh/Sol high; and Pro assigns Sol medium/Terra medium/Sol high/Sol max/Sol xhigh. `opus-codex` retains the Medium Codex executor, critic, and architect roles but uses `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5` for planner; `codex-opencodego` retains the Medium Codex default and architect roles; and `fable-opus-codex` uses the Pro Codex executor and architect roles with `anthropic/claude-opus-5:medium` for planner. The descriptive repeated local exact-edit evidence informs only selected executor-style TypeScript tasks; it does not evaluate or prove default, planner, architect, or critic performance. See [GPT-5.6 Codex preset benchmark](./gpt-5.6-codex-preset-benchmark.md). Effort suffixes are clamped to each model's supported thinking range at preview and activation time. Single-provider tiers pin each provider's current flagship (`zai/glm-5.2`, `kimi-code/kimi-k2.7-code`, `xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro`, `xai/grok-4.3`, `cursor/composer-1.5`, `minimax-code/minimax-m3`). User-defined profiles override built-ins by exact profile name.\n\n\nUse `skc --mpreset <name>` to activate a profile for the current session only. Activation hard-blocks when any provider listed in `required_providers` lacks credentials. Add `--default` to persist the selected profile as `modelProfile.default` in `config.yml`, so it applies at startup:\n\n```sh\nskc --mpreset codex-medium\nskc --mpreset opencodego --default\n```\n\nThe `/model` command opens to a preset landing view: presets are grouped by provider with live auth marks (✓/✗), highlighting a group expands its tiers, and selecting a tier shows the full role→model preview before applying for the session or as default. Typing jumps straight to model search, and `Browse all models` opens the classic tabbed model selector. In `/login`, `Add custom provider` is the first option for configuring credentials needed by custom or profile-required providers; after a successful provider login, the matching preset is recommended automatically.\n\nMiniMax's OpenAI-compatible endpoint rejects multiple system messages and emits thinking in `reasoning_content`, so pin the public-safe compatibility fields when hand-authoring a custom provider:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n minimax-custom:\n baseUrl: https://api.minimax.io/v1\n apiKeyEnv: MINIMAX_API_KEY\n api: openai-completions\n compat:\n supportsStore: false\n supportsDeveloperRole: false\n supportsReasoningEffort: false\n reasoningContentField: reasoning_content\n models:\n - id: MiniMax-M2.5\n```\n\nGLM via z.ai is available as the first-class `zai` provider. For a private GLM-compatible proxy, keep secrets in an env var and disable OpenAI-only request fields as needed:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n glm-proxy:\n baseUrl: https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4\n apiKeyEnv: ZAI_API_KEY\n api: openai-completions\n compat:\n supportsDeveloperRole: false\n supportsReasoningEffort: false\n models:\n - id: glm-4.6\n```\n### Allowed auth/discovery values\n\n- `auth`: `apiKey` (default), `none`, or `oauth`; for `models.yml` custom models, `oauth` is accepted by schema but does not waive the `apiKey` requirement\n- `models.yml` is strict: unknown provider/model keys fail validation before provider dispatch, so stale keys such as `requestTransform` or `wireModelId` only work where this document lists them.\n- `discovery.type`: `ollama`, `llama.cpp`, `lm-studio`, `omlx`, `sglang`, or `openai-models-list`\n- `cacheRetention`: `none`, `short`, or `long`; request-time options win over model/modelOverride values, then provider values, then `SKC_CACHE_RETENTION`, then the runtime default. The runtime default is `short` for most providers, but the Anthropic provider defaults to `long` (`ttl: \"1h\"`) because the ~5m default is too fragile for long-running subagent workflows. The 1h marker is only emitted on the canonical Anthropic API (`api.anthropic.com`) for models advertising `supportsLongCacheRetention`; proxies, gateways, and incapable models fall back to the default ephemeral (~5m) breakpoint. For OpenAI Responses, this controls `prompt_cache_retention` only; it does not disable `prompt_cache_key` when a stable session id exists.\n\n## OpenAI-compatible proxy configuration\n\nOpenAI-compatible proxy providers should use schema-supported provider keys first:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n proxy-provider:\n baseUrl: https://api.proxy.example/v1\n apiKeyEnv: PROXY_API_KEY\n api: openai-completions\n auth: apiKey\n headers:\n User-Agent: curl/8.7.1\n models:\n - id: local-gpt\n name: Local GPT\n reasoning: true\n input: [text]\n cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }\n contextWindow: 400000\n maxTokens: 128000\n```\n\nUse provider-level `headers` for proxy-required headers. Keep the provider `api` set to `openai-completions` when the proxy exposes Chat Completions-compatible `/v1/chat/completions` semantics. `auth: apiKey` sends the resolved token as bearer auth; use `auth: none` only for trusted local/no-auth endpoints.\n\n`input` is the model modality list SKC uses to decide whether image content is forwarded. When a custom model omits `input`, SKC defaults to `[text]` (unless a bundled model with the same id contributes a reference). Vision-capable upstream models therefore need an explicit `input: [text, image]`; otherwise `read`/tool images are stripped before the request and replaced with `[image omitted: model does not support vision]`, even if the remote model can see images.\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n ali:\n baseUrl: https://token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1\n apiKeyEnv: ALI_API_KEY\n api: openai-completions\n auth: apiKey\n models:\n # id-only → text-only; images will be omitted\n - id: some-text-model\n # vision-capable hosted model must declare image input\n - id: qwen3.8-max-preview\n name: Qwen3.8 Max Preview\n reasoning: true\n input: [text, image]\n```\n\n`requestTransform` and `wireModelId` remain supported for request-body shaping, but they are not needed for ordinary OpenAI-compatible proxies whose local model id is already the upstream wire id. Unknown config keys fail validation before a provider request is sent.\n\nWhen request shaping is needed:\n\n- `requestTransform.profile: openai-proxy` strips OpenAI SDK/Stainless telemetry and beta headers at final fetch time and sets a generic SKC user agent.\n- `stripHeaders` replaces the preset strip list when provided.\n- `setHeaders` is applied after stripping; use `null` to remove a header.\n- `extraBody` is shallow-merged into the JSON request body after provider compatibility fields; core transport keys such as `model`, `messages`/`input`, `stream`, `tools`, and `tool_choice` are protected and ignored.\n- Model-level `requestTransform` overrides provider-level fields and shallow-merges `setHeaders`/`extraBody`.\n- `wireModelId` changes only the upstream request body model id; local selection still uses `provider/id`.\n\n### Layofflabs-style proxy example\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n layofflabs:\n baseUrl: https://api.layofflabs.com/v1\n apiKeyEnv: OPENAI_API_KEY\n api: openai-completions\n auth: apiKey\n headers:\n User-Agent: curl/8.7.1\n models:\n - id: gpt-5.5\n name: GPT 5.5 via Layofflabs\n reasoning: true\n thinking:\n minLevel: low\n maxLevel: xhigh\n mode: effort\n defaultLevel: high\n levels: [low, medium, high, xhigh]\n input: [text]\n cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }\n contextWindow: 400000\n maxTokens: 128000\n\nmodelBindings:\n modelRoles:\n default: layofflabs/gpt-5.5:high\n agentModelOverrides:\n executor: layofflabs/gpt-5.5:high\n```\n\n## Validation rules (current)\n\n### Full custom provider (`models` is non-empty)\n\nRequired:\n\n- `baseUrl`\n- `apiKey` unless `auth: none`\n- `api` at provider level or each model\n\n### Override-only provider (`models` missing or empty)\n\nMust define at least one of:\n\n- `baseUrl`\n- `headers`\n- `compat`\n- `requestTransform`\n- `disableStrictTools`\n- `modelOverrides`\n- `discovery`\n\n### Discovery\n\n- `discovery` requires provider-level `api`.\n\n### Model value checks\n\n- `id` required\n- `contextWindow` and `maxTokens` must be positive if provided\n- unknown provider, model, override, and request-transform keys fail schema validation; remove stale keys instead of relying on them being ignored.\n\n## Merge and override order\n\nModelRegistry pipeline (on refresh):\n\n1. Load built-in providers/models from `@sayknow-cli/ai`.\n2. Load `models.yml` custom config.\n3. Apply provider overrides (`baseUrl`, `headers`, `requestTransform`, `disableStrictTools`, `cacheRetention`) to built-in models.\n4. Apply `modelOverrides` (per provider + model id).\n5. Merge custom `models`:\n - same `provider + id` replaces existing\n - otherwise append\n6. Load cached/runtime-discovered models (Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio, plus built-in provider managers), then re-apply model overrides.\n\n### Provider-model cache and static fingerprint\n\nCached per-provider model lists are persisted in the model-cache SQLite\ndatabase (schema v3) with a `static_fingerprint` column that hashes the\nstatic catalog slice merged into the row. When `resolveProviderModels`\nskips the network fetch and the fingerprint of the in-memory static\ncatalog matches the cached one, the cached rows are returned verbatim —\nthe static + dynamic merge is bypassed entirely. The fingerprint is\nmemoized per process via a WeakMap keyed by the static-models array\nreference, so repeated cold-start calls do not re-hash.\n\n## Canonical model equivalence and coalescing\n\nThe registry keeps every concrete provider model and then builds a canonical layer above them.\n\nCanonical ids are official upstream ids only, for example:\n\n- `anthropic-model-opus-4-6`\n- `anthropic-model-haiku-4-5`\n- `gpt-5.3-openai-code`\n\n### `models.yml` equivalence config\n\nExample:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n zenmux:\n baseUrl: https://api.zenmux.example/v1\n apiKey: ZENMUX_API_KEY\n api: openai-codex-responses\n models:\n - id: openai-code\n name: Zenmux OpenAI code\n reasoning: true\n input: [text]\n cost:\n input: 0\n output: 0\n cacheRead: 0\n cacheWrite: 0\n contextWindow: 200000\n maxTokens: 32768\n\nequivalence:\n overrides:\n zenmux/openai-code: gpt-5.3-openai-code\n p-openai-code/openai-code: gpt-5.3-openai-code\n exclude:\n - demo/openai-code-preview\n```\n\nBuild order for canonical grouping:\n\n1. exact user override from `equivalence.overrides`\n2. bundled official-id matches from built-in model metadata\n3. conservative heuristic normalization for gateway/provider variants\n4. fallback to the concrete model's own id\n\nCurrent heuristics are intentionally narrow:\n\n- embedded upstream prefixes can be stripped when present, for example `anthropic/...` or `openai/...`\n- dotted and dashed version variants can normalize only when they map to an existing official id, for example `4.6 -> 4-6`\n- ambiguous families or versions are not merged without a bundled match or explicit override\n\n### Canonical resolution behavior\n\nWhen multiple concrete variants share a canonical id, resolution uses:\n\n1. availability and auth\n2. `config.yml` `modelProviderOrder`\n3. existing registry/provider order if `modelProviderOrder` is unset\n\nDisabled or unauthenticated providers are skipped.\n\nSession state and transcripts continue to record the concrete provider/model that actually executed the turn.\n\nProvider defaults vs per-model overrides:\n\n- Provider `headers` are baseline.\n- Model `headers` override provider header keys.\n- `modelOverrides` can override model metadata (`name`, `reasoning`, `input`, `cost`, `contextWindow`, `maxTokens`, `headers`, `compat`, `contextPromotionTarget`).\n- `compat` is deep-merged for nested routing blocks (`openRouterRouting`, `vercelGatewayRouting`, `extraBody`).\n\n## Runtime discovery integration\n\n### Implicit Ollama discovery\n\nIf `ollama` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit discoverable provider:\n\n- provider: `ollama`\n- api: `openai-responses`\n- base URL: `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:11434`\n- auth mode: keyless (`auth: none` behavior)\n\nRuntime discovery calls Ollama endpoints and normalizes discovered OpenAI-compatible models to `openai-responses`.\n\n### Implicit llama.cpp discovery\n\nIf `llama.cpp` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit discoverable provider:\n\n- provider: `llama.cpp`\n- api: `openai-responses`\n- base URL: `LLAMA_CPP_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:8080`\n- auth mode: keyless (`auth: none` behavior)\n\nRuntime discovery calls llama.cpp model endpoints and synthesizes model entries with local defaults.\n\n### Implicit LM Studio discovery\n\nIf `lm-studio` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit discoverable provider:\n\n- provider: `lm-studio`\n- api: `openai-completions`\n- base URL: `LM_STUDIO_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1`\n- auth mode: keyless (`auth: none` behavior)\n\nRuntime discovery fetches models (`GET /models`) and synthesizes model entries with local defaults.\n\n### Implicit oMLX discovery\n\nIf `omlx` is not explicitly configured, registry adds an implicit OpenAI-compatible provider at `OMLX_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1`. Implicit discovery accepts only canonical HTTP(S) loopback URLs without userinfo, query, or fragment; redirects are refused. It discovers models through `GET /v1/models`, accepts `OMLX_API_KEY` when the loopback server requires one, and otherwise uses keyless local auth. Built-in macOS oMLX profiles select the reviewed served model ids and preserve role-specific thinking effort.\n\n### Implicit SGLang discovery\n\nIf `sglang` is not explicitly configured, its bundled OpenAI-compatible descriptor discovers models at trusted `SGLANG_BASE_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:30000/v1`. Credentialless implicit discovery accepts only HTTP(S) loopback origins, including normalized IPv4, IPv6, and IPv4-mapped loopback forms. Remote SGLang servers require an explicit provider configuration or a trusted base URL plus `SGLANG_API_KEY`; all endpoint URLs must omit userinfo, query, and fragment components, and project-local environment files cannot silently redirect implicit authenticated discovery.\n\n### Explicit provider discovery\n\nYou can configure discovery yourself:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n ollama:\n baseUrl: http://127.0.0.1:11434\n api: openai-responses\n auth: none\n discovery:\n type: ollama\n\n llama.cpp:\n baseUrl: http://127.0.0.1:8080\n api: openai-responses\n auth: none\n discovery:\n type: llama.cpp\n```\n\n### Extension provider registration\n\nExtensions can register providers at runtime (`pi.registerProvider(...)`), including:\n\n- model replacement/append for a provider\n- custom stream handler registration for new API IDs\n- custom OAuth provider registration\n\n## Auth and API key resolution order\n\nWhen requesting a key for a provider, effective order is:\n\n1. Runtime override (CLI `--api-key`)\n2. Stored API key credential in `agent.db`\n3. Stored OAuth credential in `agent.db` (with refresh)\n4. Environment variable mapping (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, etc.)\n5. ModelRegistry fallback resolver (provider `apiKey` from `models.yml`, env-name-or-literal semantics)\n\n`models.yml` `apiKey` behavior:\n\n- Value is first treated as an environment variable name.\n- If no env var exists, the literal string is used as the token.\n\nIf `authHeader: true` and provider `apiKey` is set, models get:\n\n- `Authorization: Bearer <resolved-key>` header injected.\n\nKeyless providers:\n\n- Providers marked `auth: none` are treated as available without credentials.\n- `getApiKey*` returns `kNoAuth` for them.\n\n### Broker mode\n\nWhen `SKC_AUTH_BROKER_URL` (or `auth.broker.url`) is set, the local SQLite credential store is replaced by `RemoteAuthCredentialStore`. Layers 2 and 3 above (stored API key / OAuth in `agent.db`) are served from a broker-supplied snapshot whose `refresh` tokens are redacted; expiry triggers `POST /v1/credential/:id/refresh` on the broker rather than a local refresh.\n\n`AuthStorage.setConfigApiKey` lets a `models.yml` `apiKey` win over a broker-resolved OAuth token without overriding a runtime `--api-key`. See [`auth-broker-gateway.md`](./auth-broker-gateway.md) for the full broker / gateway design and env surface (`SKC_AUTH_BROKER_URL`, `SKC_AUTH_BROKER_TOKEN`, `auth.broker.url`, `auth.broker.token`).\n\n## Model availability vs all models\n\n- `getAll()` returns the loaded model registry (built-in + merged custom + discovered).\n- `getAvailable()` filters to models that are keyless or have resolvable auth.\n\nSo a model can exist in registry but not be selectable until auth is available.\n\n## Runtime model resolution\n\n### CLI and pattern parsing\n\n`model-resolver.ts` supports:\n\n- exact `provider/modelId`\n- exact canonical model id\n- exact model id (provider inferred)\n- fuzzy/substring matching\n- glob scope patterns in `--models` (e.g. `openai/*`, `*sonnet*`)\n- optional `:thinkingLevel` suffix (`off|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh`)\n\n`--provider` is legacy; `--model` is preferred.\n\nResolution precedence for exact selectors:\n\n1. exact `provider/modelId` bypasses coalescing\n2. exact canonical id resolves through the canonical index\n3. exact bare concrete id still works\n4. fuzzy and glob matching run after the exact paths\n\n### Initial model selection priority\n\n`findInitialModel(...)` uses this order:\n\n1. explicit CLI provider+model\n2. first scoped model (if not resuming)\n3. saved default provider/model\n4. known provider defaults (e.g. OpenAI/Anthropic/etc.) among available models\n5. first available model\n\n### Role aliases and settings\n\nSupported model roles:\n\n- `default` plus the agent assignment targets `executor`, `architect`, `planner`, `critic`\n\nRole aliases like `pi/default` expand through `settings.modelRoles`. Each role value can also append a thinking selector such as `:minimal`, `:low`, `:medium`, or `:high`.\n\nIf a role points at another role, the target model still inherits normally and any explicit suffix on the referring role wins for that role-specific use.\n\nRelated settings:\n\n- `modelRoles` (record)\n- `enabledModels` (scoped pattern list)\n- `modelProviderOrder` (global canonical-provider precedence)\n- `providers.kimiApiFormat` (`openai` or `anthropic` request format)\n- `providers.openaiWebsockets` (`auto|off|on` websocket preference for OpenAI code provider transport)\n\n`modelRoles` may store either:\n\n- `provider/modelId` to pin a concrete provider variant\n- a canonical id such as `gpt-5.3-openai-code` to allow provider coalescing\n\nFor `enabledModels` and CLI `--models`:\n\n- exact canonical ids expand to all concrete variants in that canonical group\n- explicit `provider/modelId` entries stay exact\n- globs and fuzzy matches still operate on concrete models\n\nGlobal `enabledModels` and `disabledProviders` entries may also be scoped to a path prefix:\n\n```yaml\nenabledModels:\n - anthropic-model-sonnet-4-5\n - path: ~/work\n models:\n - anthropic/anthropic-model-opus-4-5\ndisabledProviders:\n - ollama\n - path: ~/private\n providers:\n - anthropic\n```\n\nString entries apply everywhere. Scoped entries apply when the current working directory is the configured path or one of its subdirectories. Use `path`, `paths`, `pathPrefix`, or `pathPrefixes`; use `models` for `enabledModels`, `providers` for `disabledProviders`, or `values` for either.\n\n## `/model` and `--list-models`\n\nBoth surfaces keep provider-prefixed models visible and selectable.\n\nThey now also expose canonical/coalesced models:\n\n- `/model` includes a canonical view alongside provider tabs\n- `--list-models` prints a canonical section plus the concrete provider rows\n\nSelecting a canonical entry stores the canonical selector. Selecting a provider row stores the explicit `provider/modelId`.\n\n### Assigning a model to a detailed use\n\nThe role rows in `/model` open a second level. The first level keeps its seven\nactions in their original order; picking `executor`, `architect`, `planner` or\n`critic` then offers **General (whole role)** plus the detailed uses that role\ncan actually run:\n\n| Role | Detailed uses |\n| --- | --- |\n| `planner`, `architect` | `backendArchitecture`, `frontendDesign` |\n| `executor` | `implementation`, `testing` |\n| `critic` | `review` |\n\n`default` has no detailed uses and still assigns in one keystroke. The two bulk\nrows write canonical role models only — they never touch detailed-use settings,\nbecause a \"set everything\" action that also rewrote five overrides could not be\nundone from the same menu.\n\nDetailed-use assignments persist to `task.modelRouting.specialtyModels`, a\nrecord whose keys are restricted to the five ids above; anything else is\nrejected by config validation. A row shows the model it already holds, and\n**Clear detailed-use overrides** removes only the entries belonging to that role.\n\nA saved detailed-use model is live immediately for any spawn that **declares**\nthat work (below). Saving one while `task.modelRouting.enabled` is `false` still\npersists it and says so; that switch only governs auto-detection.\n\n### How a subagent's model is chosen\n\nThere are two ways a detailed-use model reaches a spawn. The first is\ndeterministic and needs no switch; the second is a guess and only fires once\nthere are tiers configured for it to choose between.\n\n**Declared.** The `task` tool accepts `.specialty` per task — one of the five\nids above. When the user assigned a model to that specialty, the child runs on\nit. No classifier is consulted, `task.modelRouting.enabled` is not read, and no\nconfidence bar applies. The child leaves that model only when it **errors**:\nthe child session's fallback chain retries `fallback.maxAttempts` times on a\ntransport failure (429, 5xx, auth, quota) and then advances to the role's own\nchain composed behind it. The menu groups specialties under the roles that\nusually do that work, but the setting is one flat map, and a declared specialty\nignores that grouping on purpose: a frontend build delegated to `executor` with\n`specialty: \"frontendDesign\"` runs on the frontend model.\n\n**Auto-detected.** Without a declaration, routing needs\n`task.modelRouting.enabled` (on by default) **and** somewhere to route to: at\nleast two of `task.modelRouting.fastModel` / `balancedModel` / `deepModel`, or a\ndetailed-use entry, or the legacy `task.modelRouting.frontendModel`. The tiers\nare empty until you set them, so the default-on switch is a no-op for an\nunconfigured install. A single tier is not an axis — there is nowhere to move\nfrom it. It also needs typed decisions (`decisions.enabled`, on by default) and\na cheap model for the classifier to run on.\n\nOne classification runs per **child task**, not per `task` call. A batch shares\nan agent but not a workload, so an implementation slice and a test slice in the\nsame call are classified separately.\n\nEither way the result is dispatched as an ordered fallback chain, not a single\nmodel:\n\n1. the detailed-use model — declared, or picked by the classifier for a role that can run it\n2. the tier model, when the difficulty axis moved (auto-detected only)\n3. the role's own configured chain\n\nThe tail is always the role baseline, so a detailed-use model that cannot\nauthenticate still lands on something the role can actually run. A high-risk\nauto-detected assignment skips the detailed-use axis entirely and composes tier\nplus baseline only, because a lateral swap can move sideways into something\nweaker.\n\nReceipts record what the router **requested** separately from what the spawn ran\non. When the backend is an ordinary LLM it reports no probabilities at all, so\nthe receipt carries an ordinal clarity score and `calibrated: false` instead of\na fabricated confidence.\n\n## Context promotion (model-level fallback chains)\n\nContext promotion is an overflow recovery mechanism for small-context variants (for example `*-spark`) that automatically promotes to a larger-context sibling when the API rejects a request with a context length error. It is **off by default** (`contextPromotion.enabled` is `false`); opt in to enable it.\n\n### Trigger and order\n\nWhen a turn fails with a context overflow error (e.g. `context_length_exceeded`), `AgentSession` attempts promotion **before** falling back to compaction:\n\n1. If `contextPromotion.enabled` is true, resolve a promotion target (see below).\n2. If a target is found, switch to it and retry the request — no compaction needed.\n3. If no target is available, fall through to auto-compaction on the current model.\n\n### Target selection\n\nSelection is model-driven, not role-driven:\n\n1. `currentModel.contextPromotionTarget` (if configured)\n2. smallest larger-context model on the same provider + API\n\nCandidates are ignored unless credentials resolve (`ModelRegistry.getApiKey(...)`).\n\n### OpenAI code provider websocket handoff\n\nIf switching from/to `openai-codex-responses`, session provider state key `openai-codex-responses` is closed before model switch. This drops websocket transport state so the next turn starts clean on the promoted model.\n\n### Persistence behavior\n\nPromotion uses temporary switching (`setModelTemporary`):\n\n- recorded as a temporary `model_change` in session history\n- does not rewrite saved role mapping\n\n### Configuring explicit fallback chains\n\nConfigure fallback directly in model metadata via `contextPromotionTarget`.\n\n`contextPromotionTarget` accepts either:\n\n- `provider/model-id` (explicit)\n- `model-id` (resolved within current provider)\n\nExample (`models.yml`) for Spark -> non-Spark on the same provider:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n openai-code:\n modelOverrides:\n gpt-5.3-openai-code-spark:\n contextPromotionTarget: openai-code/gpt-5.3-openai-code\n```\n\nThe built-in model generator also assigns this automatically for `*-spark` models when a same-provider base model exists.\n\n## Compatibility and routing fields\n\nThe `compat` block on a provider or model overrides the URL-based auto-detection in `packages/ai/src/providers/openai-completions-compat.ts`. It is validated by `OpenAICompatSchema` in `packages/coding-agent/src/config/model-registry.ts` and consumed by every `openai-completions` transport (`packages/ai/src/providers/openai-completions.ts`). The canonical type is `OpenAICompat` in `packages/ai/src/types.ts`.\n\n`models.yml` accepts the following keys (all optional; unset falls back to URL detection):\n\nRequest shaping:\n\n- `supportsStore` — emit `store: false` on requests. Default: auto (off for non-standard endpoints).\n- `supportsDeveloperRole` — use the `developer` system role for reasoning models instead of `system`. Default: auto.\n- `sendSessionHeaders` — forward the agent session id as `session_id` and `x-session-id` request headers so OpenAI-compatible relays/proxies can do session-affinity routing and reuse a server-side prompt cache. Default: `false`. Caller-set `headers`/`requestTransform` values are never overwritten.\n- `supportsUsageInStreaming` — send `stream_options: { include_usage: true }` to receive token usage on streaming responses. Default: `true`.\n- `maxTokensField` — `\"max_completion_tokens\"` or `\"max_tokens\"`. Default: auto.\n- `supportsToolChoice` — emit the `tool_choice` parameter when the caller forces a specific tool. Default: `true`. Set `false` for endpoints that 400 on `tool_choice` (e.g. DeepSeek when reasoning is on).\n- `disableReasoningOnForcedToolChoice` — drop `reasoning_effort` / OpenRouter `reasoning` whenever `tool_choice` forces a call. Default: auto (Kimi/Anthropic-fronted endpoints).\n- `extraBody` — extra top-level fields merged into every request body (gateway hints, controller selectors, etc.).\n\nReasoning / thinking:\n\n- `supportsReasoningEffort` — accept `reasoning_effort`. Default: auto (off for zAI; on for Grok and OpenAI-compatible hosts that advertise it).\n- `reasoningEffortMap` — partial map from internal effort levels (`minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh`) to provider-specific strings (e.g. DeepSeek maps `xhigh -> \"max\"`).\n- `thinkingFormat` — request shape for thinking: `\"openai\"` (`reasoning_effort`), `\"openrouter\"` (`reasoning: { effort }`), `\"zai\"` (`thinking: { type: \"enabled\" }`), `\"qwen\"` (top-level `enable_thinking`), or `\"qwen-chat-template\"` (`chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking`). Default: `\"openai\"`.\n- `reasoningContentField` — assistant field carrying chain-of-thought: `\"reasoning_content\"`, `\"reasoning\"`, or `\"reasoning_text\"`. Default: auto.\n- `requiresReasoningContentForToolCalls` — assistant tool-call turns must round-trip the reasoning field (DeepSeek-R1, Kimi, OpenRouter when reasoning is on). Default: `false`.\n- `requiresAssistantContentForToolCalls` — assistant tool-call turns must include non-empty text content (Kimi). Default: `false`.\n\nTool / message normalization:\n\n- `requiresToolResultName` — tool-result messages need a `name` field (Mistral). Default: auto.\n- `requiresAssistantAfterToolResult` — a user message after a tool result needs an assistant turn in between. Default: auto.\n- `requiresThinkingAsText` — convert thinking blocks to text wrapped in `<thinking>` delimiters (Mistral). Default: auto.\n- `requiresMistralToolIds` — normalize tool-call ids to exactly 9 alphanumeric chars. Default: auto.\n- `supportsStrictMode` — accept the per-tool `strict` field on tool schemas. Default: conservative auto-detect per provider/baseUrl.\n- `toolStrictMode` — `\"all_strict\"` forces strict on every tool, `\"none\"` forces it off; unset keeps the existing per-tool mixed behavior.\n\nGateway routing (only applied when `baseUrl` matches the gateway):\n\n- `openRouterRouting.only` / `openRouterRouting.order` — provider routing on `openrouter.ai` (see <https://openrouter.ai/docs/provider-routing>).\n- `vercelGatewayRouting.only` / `vercelGatewayRouting.order` — provider routing on `ai-gateway.vercel.sh` (see <https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/models-and-providers/provider-options>).\n\nProvider-level `compat` is the baseline; per-model `compat` is deep-merged on top, with `openRouterRouting`, `vercelGatewayRouting`, and `extraBody` merged as nested objects.\n\n### Anthropic compatibility (`anthropic-messages`)\n\nFor `anthropic-messages` models the runtime uses a separate `AnthropicCompat` shape (`packages/ai/src/types.ts`). The `models.yml` schema currently exposes only the strict-tools opt-out as a top-level provider field (see below); the remaining Anthropic-side knobs (`disableAdaptiveThinking`, `supportsEagerToolInputStreaming`, `supportsLongCacheRetention`) are set by built-in catalog metadata and are not user-configurable from `models.yml`.\n\n### Strict tool schemas (`disableStrictTools`)\n\nAnthropic's API supports a `strict` field on tool definitions that forces the model to always follow the provided schema exactly. This is enabled by default for all `anthropic-messages` providers because it guarantees schema conformance in agentic systems.\n\nThird-party providers that front the Anthropic API (AWS Bedrock, Azure, self-hosted proxies) do not always implement this field and will reject requests that include it. Set `disableStrictTools: true` at the provider level to opt out:\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n bedrock-anthropic:\n baseUrl: https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/anthropic\n apiKey: AWS_BEARER_TOKEN\n api: anthropic-messages\n disableStrictTools: true\n models:\n - id: anthropic-model-sonnet-4-20250514\n name: Anthropic model Sonnet 4 (Bedrock)\n input: [text, image]\n contextWindow: 200000\n maxTokens: 16384\n cost:\n input: 3.00\n output: 15.00\n cacheRead: 0.30\n cacheWrite: 3.75\n```\n\n`disableStrictTools` is a provider-level flag that applies to all models in the provider.\n\nTool schemas going on the wire are normalized by the unified flow in\n`packages/ai/src/utils/schema/normalize.ts` (Google/CCA/MCP dispatchers\nplus the OpenAI strict-mode sanitize+enforce pipeline). See\n[`ai-schema-normalize.md`](./ai-schema-normalize.md) for the strict-mode\nedge cases (local `$ref` inlining, single-item `allOf` collapse,\n`anyOf`-wrapper description hoist, enum/const primitive-type inference)\nand the per-provider dispatcher mapping.\n## Practical examples\n\n### Local OpenAI-compatible endpoint (no auth)\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n local-openai:\n baseUrl: http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1\n auth: none\n api: openai-completions\n models:\n - id: Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct\n name: Qwen 2.5 Coder 32B (local)\n```\n\n### Hosted proxy with env-based key\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n anthropic-proxy:\n baseUrl: https://proxy.example.com/anthropic\n apiKey: ANTHROPIC_PROXY_API_KEY\n api: anthropic-messages\n authHeader: true\n disableStrictTools: true # if the proxy doesn't support strict tool schemas\n models:\n - id: anthropic-model-sonnet-4-20250514\n name: Anthropic model Sonnet 4 (Proxy)\n reasoning: true\n input: [text, image]\n```\n\n### Override built-in provider route + model metadata\n\n```yaml\nproviders:\n openrouter:\n baseUrl: https://my-proxy.example.com/v1\n headers:\n X-Team: platform\n modelOverrides:\n anthropic/anthropic-model-sonnet-4:\n name: Sonnet 4 (Corp)\n compat:\n openRouterRouting:\n only: [anthropic]\n```\n\n## Legacy consumer caveat\n\nMost model configuration now flows through `models.yml` via `ModelRegistry`. Explicit `.json` / `.jsonc` paths remain supported only when passed programmatically to `ModelRegistry`; the default user config is `~/.skc/agent/models.yml`.\n\n## Failure mode\n\nIf `models.yml` fails schema or validation checks:\n\n- registry keeps operating with built-in models\n- error is exposed via `ModelRegistry.getError()` and surfaced in UI/notifications\n",
