+# Runnable Markdown
+
+The `luca` CLI allows you to run markdown blocks as long as they're tagged with `ts` in the language.
+
+```ts
+const banner = ui.banner('LUCA', { 
+    font: 'Puffy', 
+    colors: ['red','white','blue'] 
+})
+
+ui.print(banner)
+```
+
+What is kind of cool is ( so long as there's no top-level-await in the block ) the context will preserve:
+
+```ts
+if(typeof banner === 'undefined') { 
+    ui.print.red('uh oh, something broke.')
+}
+```
+
+You can skip blocks too with the skip tag in the language of the fenced block
+
+```ts skip
+console.log('Not gonna say anything')
+```
+
+Did you hear something? No. 
+
+Something even cooler is the ability to render React blocks.  This makes luca kind of like a poor man's MDX.  I just define some Blocks in the markdown by creating an h2 `## Blocks` section with a fenced codeblock that uses `tsx`. The `ink.components` and `ink.React` globals are injected into the scope.
+
+## Blocks
+
+```tsx
+const { Box, Text } = ink.components
+const React = ink.React
+
+function Greeting({ name, role }) {
+  return (
+    <Box borderStyle="round" padding={1}>
+      <Text color="green" bold>Hello {name}!</Text>
+      <Text dimColor> ({role})</Text>
+    </Box>
+  )
+}

This is where you define the assistant’s identity, boundaries, style, domain knowledge, do/don’t rules, and any project-specific instructions.\n\n**What to put in it:**\n- Role + purpose (“You are an assistant that helps with X…”)\n- Tone/format preferences (concise, code-first, etc.)\n- Hard constraints (what it must never do, how it handles secrets, etc.)\n- Domain context (your product, APIs, repos, conventions)\n\n**When to edit:** Any time you want the assistant to “think/behave differently” without changing code.\n\n---\n\n## 2) Edit `tools.ts` (add callable functions)\n**What it is:** A TypeScript module that exports:\n- **functions** the model can call as tools (e.g., `searchDocs`, `runQuery`, `readFile`, `createTicket`)\n- a **`schemas` object** mapping tool/function names → **zod v4 schemas** describing parameters\n\n**Why it matters:** Tools are how your assistant safely does real work (fetch data, manipulate files, call APIs) instead of guessing.\n\n**Key points:**\n- Keep tools small and composable.\n- Validate all inputs with zod schemas.\n- Return structured data the model can use.\n\n**Important:** The luca **`container`** is globally available inside `tools.ts`. Use it to access shared services/config (whatever your luca setup provides) without manually importing/constructing everything.\n\n---\n\n## 3) Edit `hooks.ts` (react to events)\n**What it is:** A TypeScript module exporting functions whose names match luca assistant helper **events** (lifecycle hooks). These run automatically when those events fire (e.g., session start, before/after tool call, etc.—depending on what luca emits in your setup).\n\n**Use cases:**\n- Logging / tracing\n- Metrics\n- Tool-call auditing\n- Injecting/refreshing context\n- Guardrails (block certain actions, redact secrets)\n\n**Important:** The luca **`container`** is also globally available in `hooks.ts`.\n\n---\n\n## What to do next (practical plan)\n1) **Open `CORE.md`** and write 10–30 lines that clearly define the assistant’s job and constraints.\n2) **Add 1–2 tools** in `tools.ts` that reflect what you actually want the assistant to be able to do (start minimal).\n3) **Add a basic hook** in `hooks.ts` for logging (so you can see what’s happening and iterate safely).\n4) Run `luca chat` again and test; tighten instructions/schemas based on failures.\n\nIf you tell me what your assistant is supposed to help with (e.g., “triage support tickets”, “write PRs”, “query an internal API”), I can suggest exactly what to put into `CORE.md` and the first tools/hooks to implement."}],"tags":[],"thread":"assistant:zapldb:2026-03-15","createdAt":"2026-03-15T03:08:58.783Z","updatedAt":"2026-03-15T03:08:58.783Z","messageCount":5,"metadata":{}}
