-- `assist sync [--prune] [--force]` - Copy commands, settings, `CLAUDE.md` and design assets to `~/.claude` (plus `~/.codex` and `~/.pi` when those CLIs are on PATH). With `--prune`, also lists commands in the target dirs that sync did not write — anything whose name is not in the repo's `claude/commands/*.md` set — and adding `--force` removes them. `~/.codex/skills` and `~/.pi/agent/prompts` are only inspected when those CLIs are detected; an orphaned codex skill directory is removed only when `SKILL.md` is its sole content, and any other is left in place with a reason. Subdirectories and non-`.md` files are listed separately and never removed. `--force` without `--prune` is an error
+- `assist sync [--prune] [--force]` - Copy commands, settings and design assets to `~/.claude` (plus `~/.codex` and `~/.pi`, which also receive `CLAUDE.md` as their `AGENTS.md`, when those CLIs are on PATH). `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` is no longer written — Claude Code gets its instructions from `assist advise --hook` at session start instead.

 - `assist activity [--since <date>]` - Chart GitHub commit activity per day (defaults to last 30 days)
 - `assist commit status` - Show git status and diff
 - `assist commit <message> [files...] [--ref <ref>]` - Stage files and create a git commit with validation. The message must be a single line under 50 characters; `--ref` is the only way to give the commit a body. Each `--ref` value is free text containing a URL (e.g. `--ref "rationale for removing it https://…"`) and becomes one `Ref:` trailer line, verbatim — commas are not separators, so repeat the flag to pass several. A value carrying no `http`/`https` URL is rejected before anything is staged

-- `assist advise [--hook]` - Print the advice fragments from `claude/advice/*.md` that apply to the cwd's repo, each selected by its `when` condition against the merged config and repo facts, composed in filename order. `--hook` reads the SessionStart payload from stdin for the session's cwd and emits the markdown as `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`

A fragment body may interpolate `{{variable}}` placeholders — `verify.md` names the repo's own `verify*` run commands that way. `advice.include` and `advice.exclude` override a fragment's condition by name, `advice.verify` replaces the verify fragment's text and forces it in, and `advice.extra` is appended as a "Repo notes" section. `--hook` reads the SessionStart payload from stdin for the session's cwd and emits the markdown as `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`; `--explain` lists every shipped fragment with whether it was included and the reason

+A file's name must match the function it exports (e.g. `updateWorkerCapacity.ts` for `updateWorkerCapacity`), per the `oxlint-rules/filenameConvention.ts` lint rule — including the destination passed to `assist refactor extract`.

+When renaming TypeScript files or symbols, use the refactor commands instead of doing it manually:

+- `assist refactor rename file <source> <destination>` — rename/move a file and update all imports
+- `assist refactor rename symbol <file> <oldName> <newName>` — rename a variable, function, class, or type across the project
+- `assist refactor extract <file> <functionName> <destination>` — extract a function and its private dependencies to a new file
