Each step has a skill file with detailed instructions, required artifacts, and agent assignments.\n\n### Built-in Flows\n\n| Flow | Steps | Use When |\n|------|-------|----------|\n| `aikit:basic` | assess → implement → verify | Bug fixes, config changes, small features |\n| `aikit:advanced` | spec → plan → task → execute → verify | New modules, cross-service changes, architectural work |\n\n### Flow Lifecycle\n\n```text\nflow_list()                          # See available flows\nflow_info({ flow: "aikit:basic" })   # View steps, skills, agents\nflow_start({ flow: "aikit:basic", topic: "Fix login bug" })  # Start — creates .flows/fix-login-bug/\nflow_read_instruction()              # Read current step\'s instructions ({{artifacts_path}} resolved)\n# ... do the work described in the instruction ...\nflow_step({ action: "next" })        # Advance to next step\nflow_step({ action: "skip" })        # Skip current step\nflow_step({ action: "redo" })        # Redo current step\nflow_status()                        # Check progress (includes slug, runDir, artifactsPath, phase, isEpilogue)\nflow_reset()                         # Abandon active flow\nflow_runs()                          # List all runs (current + past)\n# Epilogue steps (mandatory, injected after every flow):\n# After last flow step → _docs-sync epilogue runs automatically\n# flow_status() shows phase: \'after\', isEpilogue: true during epilogue\n```\n\nCustom flow lifecycle management:\n\n```text\nflow_add({ source: ".github/flows/my-flow" })\nflow_update({ name: "my-flow" })\nflow_remove({ name: "my-flow" })\n```\n\n## CRITICAL: Use AI Kit Tools Instead of Native IDE Tools\n\nAI Kit tools provide **10x richer output** than native IDE tools — with AST-analyzed call graphs, scope context, import classification, and cognitive complexity. **You MUST use AI Kit tools instead of native read/search tools.**\n\n### ⛔ PROHIBITED: Native File Reading\n\n**`read_file` / `read_file_raw` MUST NOT be used to understand code.** They waste tokens and miss structural information.\n\nThe **ONLY** acceptable use of `read_file`: getting exact lines immediately before an edit (to verify the `old_str` for replacement). Even then, use `file_summary` first to identify which lines to read.\n\n### Tool Replacement Table\n\n| ❌ NEVER do this | ✅ Use AI Kit Tool | Why |\n|---|---|---|\n| `read_file` (full file) | `file_summary` | Exports, imports, call edges — **10x fewer tokens** |\n| `read_file` (specific section) | `compact({ path, query })` | Server-side read + extract — **5-20x reduction** |\n| `grep_search` / `textSearch` | `search` | Semantic + keyword hybrid across all indexed content |\n| `grep_search` for a symbol | `symbol` | Definition + references **with scope context** |\n| Multiple `read_file` calls | `digest` | Compresses multiple sources into token-budgeted summary |\n| `listDirectory` + `read_file` | `scope_map` | Identifies relevant files for a task automatically |\n| Manual code tracing | `trace` | AST call-graph traversal with scope context |\n| Line counting / `wc` | `measure` | Lines, complexity, **cognitive complexity**, functions |\n| Grep for unused exports | `dead_symbols` | AST-powered export detection with regex fallback |\n| Repeated file reads | `stratum_card` | Reusable compressed context — **10-100x reduction** |\n| `fetch_webpage` | `web_fetch` | Readability extract + token budget — richer output |\n| Web research / browsing | `web_search` | Structured web results without browser — **unique to KB** |\n\n### Decision Tree — How to Read Code\n\n```\nNeed to understand a file?\n├─ Just structure?        → file_summary (exports, imports, call edges — ~50 tokens)\n├─ Specific section?      → compact({ path, query }) — 5-20x reduction\n├─ Multiple files?        → digest (multi-source compression — token-budgeted)\n├─ Repeated reference?    → stratum_card (T1/T2 card — 10-100x reduction)\n├─ Need exact lines to EDIT? → read_file (the ONLY acceptable use)\n└─ "I want to read the whole file" → ⛔ STOP. Use file_summary or compact instead.\n```\n\n### Decision Tree — Need Structural Relationships?\n\nWhen vector search and file reads don\'t answer the question (e.g. "who imports this?",\n"what does this depend on?", "how are these files connected?"), use `graph`:\n\n```\nNeed to understand relationships between code?\n├─ Who imports / calls this?     → graph({action:\'find_nodes\', name_pattern}) → graph({action:\'neighbors\', node_id, direction:\'incoming\'})\n├─ What does this depend on?     → graph({action:\'neighbors\', node_id, direction:\'outgoing\'})\n├─ Full context for a symbol?    → graph({action:\'symbol360\', name})\n├─ Related files within N hops?  → graph({action:\'traverse\', node_id, max_depth:2})\n├─ Layer/module isolation check? → graph({action:\'depth_traverse\', node_id, max_depth:3})\n└─ Graph size/health?            → graph({action:\'stats\'})\n```\n\n**Use this BEFORE** reaching for `analyze({ aspect: "dependencies", ... })` (slower, less precise) or manually\ntracing via `symbol` + `trace` chains. The graph is auto-populated during indexing.\n\n### What AI Kit Tools Return (AST-Enhanced)\n\nThese tools use Tree-sitter WASM to analyze source code at the AST level, providing structured data that raw file reads cannot:\n\n| Tool | Rich Output |\n|------|-------------|\n| `file_summary` | Imports classified as **external vs internal** (`isExternal` flag). **Call edges** between functions (e.g., `handleRequest() → validateInput() @ line 42`). `exported` flag on interfaces and types. Import count breakdown. |\n| `symbol` | References include **scope** — which function/class/method contains each usage (e.g., `referenced in processOrder() at auth-service.ts:55`). |\n| `trace` | **Call-graph edges** discovered via AST syntax tree, not text matching. Supports forward (who does X call?) and backward (who calls X?) tracing. Scope context on each node. |\n| `measure` | **Cognitive complexity** — weights nesting depth (nested `if` inside `for` inside `try` scores higher). More useful than cyclomatic complexity for understanding code difficulty. |\n| `dead_symbols` | **AST export enumeration** — catches `export default`, barrel re-exports (`export { x } from`), `export =`, and `export type`. Regex fallback for non-AST-supported languages. |\n\n### Example: `file_summary` Output\n\n```\nsrc/auth-service.ts\nLanguage: typescript | Lines: 180 | Estimated tokens: ~1400\n\nImports (6): 3 external, 3 internal\n  - import { hash } from \'bcrypt\'          [external]\n  - import { UserRepo } from \'./user-repo\' [internal]\n\nFunctions (4):\n  - authenticate @ line 22 [exported]\n  - validateToken @ line 55 [exported]\n  - hashPassword @ line 90\n  - generateJwt @ line 110\n\nCall edges (12 intra-file):\n  - authenticate() → hashPassword() @ line 35\n  - authenticate() → generateJwt() @ line 42\n  - validateToken() → UserRepo.findById() @ line 68\n\nInterfaces (2):\n  - AuthResult @ line 8 [exported]\n  - TokenPayload @ line 14\n```\n\nCompare: `read_file` would cost ~1400 tokens for raw text. `file_summary` gives structured data in ~120 tokens — **12x reduction** with richer information.\n\n## Token Efficiency\n\n`config.tokenBudget` controls output verbosity globally:\n\n| Level | Output | Compression | Context Strategy |\n|-------|--------|-------------|------------------|\n| `efficient` (default) | Minimal output, score + top issues only | threshold 2000, budget 1000 | `stratum_card(T1)` |\n| `normal` | Standard output with parsed errors/pattern names | threshold 4000, budget 2000 | `compact()` |\n| `full` | Maximum detail with raw output/full tables | No compression | `digest()` |\n\nSet via: `config({ action: \'update\', updates: { tokenBudget: \'normal\' } })`\n\nTools with `detail` param inherit from `config.tokenBudget` when not explicitly set.\nCompression middleware applies to ALL tool responses automatically.\n\n## Search Strategy\n\n1. **Start broad**: `search({ query: "topic", search_mode: "hybrid" })`\n2. **Narrow**: Add `content_type`, `origin`, or `category` filters\n3. **Exact match**: Use `search_mode: "keyword"` for identifiers\n4. **Federated**: Use `find` to combine vector + glob + regex\n\n## Workflow Chains\n\n### Codebase Onboarding\n```\nanalyze({ aspect: "structure", path: "src/" })\n→ analyze({ aspect: "dependencies", path: "src/" })\n→ analyze({ aspect: "entry_points", path: "src/" })\n→ produce_knowledge({ path: "src/" })\n→ knowledge({ action: "remember", title: "Codebase onboarding complete", ... })\n```\n\n### Planning a Task\n```\nscope_map({ task: "implement user auth" })\n→ compact({ path: "src/auth.ts", query: "auth flow" })\n→ workset({ action: "save", name: "auth-task", files: [...] })\n```\n\n### Bug Investigation\n```\nparse_output({ output: <error> }) → symbol({ name: "failingFn" })\n→ trace({ symbol: "failingFn", direction: "backward" })\n→ blast_radius({ changed_files: ["suspect.ts"] })\n→ eval({ code: "hypothesis test" }) → check({ files: ["suspect.ts"] })\n```\n\n### Multi-Task Orchestration (DAG Queue)\n```\nqueue({ action: "create", name: "my-tasks" })\n→ queue({ action: "push", name: "my-tasks", title: "Task 1", data: { deps: [] } })\n→ queue({ action: "push", name: "my-tasks", title: "Task 2", data: { deps: ["task-1-id"] } })\n→ queue({ action: "next", name: "my-tasks" })   # Gets next ready task\n→ [do work]\n→ queue({ action: "done", name: "my-tasks", id: "<id>" })\n```\n\n### Safe Refactor with Lanes\n```\nscope_map({ task: "rename UserService" })\n→ lane({ action: "create", name: "refactor", files: [...] })\n→ [make changes in lane files]\n→ lane({ action: "diff", name: "refactor" })\n→ check({}) → test_run({})\n→ lane({ action: "merge", name: "refactor" })\n```\n\n### Lane — isolated read-only exploration\n\n`lane({ action:\'create\', name })` creates an isolated copy of the workspace. Use to try approach A vs B WITHOUT touching canonical source. Other actions: `list`, `diff`, `delete`. Compare with `lane({ action:\'diff\', names:[\'a\',\'b\'] })`. Do NOT use `lane` for actual refactors — use `checkpoint` instead (`checkpoint` = reversible on canonical source; `lane` = isolated copies for comparison).\n\n### After Making Changes\n```\nblast_radius({ changed_files: ["src/auth.ts"] })\n→ check({}) → test_run({ grep: "auth" })\n→ reindex()\n→ knowledge({ action: "remember", title: "Implemented auth", content: "..." })\n```\n\n### Pre-Commit Validation\n```\ngit_context({ diff: true })\n→ diff_parse({ diff: <staged diff> })\n→ blast_radius({ changed_files: [...] })\n→ check({}) → test_run({})\n```\n\n---\n\n## Persistent Memory\n\n| Action | Tool | Category |\n|--------|------|----------|\n| Store | `knowledge({ action: "remember", title, content, category })` | conventions, decisions, patterns, context, session |\n| Search | `search({ query, origin: "curated" })` | — |\n| Browse | `knowledge({ action: "list" })` or `knowledge({ action: "list", category })` | — |\n| Read | `knowledge({ action: "read", id })` | — |\n| Update | `knowledge({ action: "update", id, content })` | — |\n| Remove | `knowledge({ action: "forget", id })` | — |\n\n**Session checkpoint** (end of session): `knowledge({ action: "remember", title: "Session checkpoint: <topic>", content: "Done/Decisions/Next/Blockers", category: "session" })`\n\n## CLI Quick Reference\n\n```bash\naikit init              # Scaffold AI Kit in current directory\naikit init --force      # Overwrite all scaffold/skill files\naikit init --guide      # JSON report of stale files for LLM-driven updates\naikit serve             # Start MCP server (stdio or HTTP)\naikit search <q>    # Hybrid search\naikit find <q>      # Federated search\naikit symbol <name> # Resolve symbol\naikit scope-map <t> # Task reading plan\naikit compact <q>   # Context compression (--path file or stdin)\naikit check         # Typecheck + lint (--detail efficient|normal|full)\naikit test          # Run tests\naikit rename <old> <new> <path>  # Rename symbol\naikit lane create <name> --files f1,f2  # Create lane\naikit lane diff <name>  # View lane changes\naikit lane merge <name> # Merge lane back\naikit status        # Index stats\naikit reindex       # Rebuild index\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\n`kb.config.json` in project root:\n```json\n{\n  "sources": [{ "path": ".", "excludePatterns": ["node_modules/**", "**/node_modules/**", "dist/**", "coverage/**", ".aikit-data/**"] }],\n  "indexing": { "chunkSize": 1500, "chunkOverlap": 200, "minChunkSize": 100, "concurrency": 5 },\n  "embedding": { "model": "mixedbread-ai/mxbai-embed-large-v1", "dimensions": 1024 },\n  "store": { "backend": "lancedb", "path": ".aikit-data" },\n  "curated": { "path": "curated", "adapter": "filesystem" }\n}\n```\n\n## Tool Profiles\n\nTool profiles control which subset of the 82 tools are active.

Each step has a skill file with detailed instructions, required artifacts, and agent assignments.\n\n### Built-in Flows\n\n| Flow | Steps | Use When |\n|------|-------|----------|\n| `aikit:basic` | assess → implement → verify | Bug fixes, config changes, small features |\n| `aikit:advanced` | spec → plan → task → execute → verify | New modules, cross-service changes, architectural work |\n\n### Flow Lifecycle\n\n```text\nflow({ action: \'list\' })                                   # See available flows\nflow({ action: \'info\', name: \'aikit:basic\' })              # View steps, skills, agents\nflow({ action: \'start\', name: \'aikit:basic\', topic: \'Fix login bug\' })  # Start — creates .flows/fix-login-bug/\nflow({ action: \'read\' })                                   # Read current step\'s instructions ({{artifacts_path}} resolved)\n# ... do the work described in the instruction ...\nflow({ action: \'step\', advance: \'next\' })                  # Advance to next step\nflow({ action: \'step\', advance: \'skip\' })                  # Skip current step\nflow({ action: \'step\', advance: \'redo\' })                  # Redo current step\nflow({ action: \'status\' })                                 # Check progress (includes slug, runDir, artifactsPath, phase, isEpilogue)\nflow({ action: \'reset\' })                                  # Abandon active flow\nflow({ action: \'runs\' })                                   # List all runs (current + past)\n# Epilogue steps (mandatory, injected after every flow):\n# After last flow step → _docs-sync epilogue runs automatically\n# flow({ action: \'status\' }) shows phase: \'after\', isEpilogue: true during epilogue\n```\n\nCustom flow lifecycle management:\n\n```text\nflow({ action: \'add\', source: \'.github/flows/my-flow\' })\nflow({ action: \'update\', name: \'my-flow\' })\nflow({ action: \'remove\', name: \'my-flow\' })\n```\n\n## CRITICAL: Use AI Kit Tools Instead of Native IDE Tools\n\nAI Kit tools provide **10x richer output** than native IDE tools — with AST-analyzed call graphs, scope context, import classification, and cognitive complexity. **You MUST use AI Kit tools instead of native read/search tools.**\n\n### ⛔ PROHIBITED: Native File Reading\n\n**`read_file` / `read_file_raw` MUST NOT be used to understand code.** They waste tokens and miss structural information.\n\nThe **ONLY** acceptable use of `read_file`: getting exact lines immediately before an edit (to verify the `old_str` for replacement). Even then, use `file_summary` first to identify which lines to read.\n\n### Tool Replacement Table\n\n| ❌ NEVER do this | ✅ Use AI Kit Tool | Why |\n|---|---|---|\n| `read_file` (full file) | `file_summary` | Exports, imports, call edges — **10x fewer tokens** |\n| `read_file` (specific section) | `compact({ path, query })` | Server-side read + extract — **5-20x reduction** |\n| `grep_search` / `textSearch` | `search` | Semantic + keyword hybrid across all indexed content |\n| `grep_search` for a symbol | `symbol` | Definition + references **with scope context** |\n| Multiple `read_file` calls | `digest` | Compresses multiple sources into token-budgeted summary |\n| `listDirectory` + `read_file` | `scope_map` | Identifies relevant files for a task automatically |\n| Manual code tracing | `trace` | AST call-graph traversal with scope context |\n| Line counting / `wc` | `measure` | Lines, complexity, **cognitive complexity**, functions |\n| Grep for unused exports | `dead_symbols` | AST-powered export detection with regex fallback |\n| Repeated file reads | `stratum_card` | Reusable compressed context — **10-100x reduction** |\n| `fetch_webpage` | `web_fetch` | Readability extract + token budget — richer output |\n| Web research / browsing | `web_search` | Structured web results without browser — **unique to KB** |\n\n### Decision Tree — How to Read Code\n\n```\nNeed to understand a file?\n├─ Just structure?        → file_summary (exports, imports, call edges — ~50 tokens)\n├─ Specific section?      → compact({ path, query }) — 5-20x reduction\n├─ Multiple files?        → digest (multi-source compression — token-budgeted)\n├─ Repeated reference?    → stratum_card (T1/T2 card — 10-100x reduction)\n├─ Need exact lines to EDIT? → read_file (the ONLY acceptable use)\n└─ "I want to read the whole file" → ⛔ STOP. Use file_summary or compact instead.\n```\n\n### Decision Tree — Need Structural Relationships?\n\nWhen vector search and file reads don\'t answer the question (e.g. "who imports this?",\n"what does this depend on?", "how are these files connected?"), use `graph`:\n\n```\nNeed to understand relationships between code?\n├─ Who imports / calls this?     → graph({action:\'find_nodes\', name_pattern}) → graph({action:\'neighbors\', node_id, direction:\'incoming\'})\n├─ What does this depend on?     → graph({action:\'neighbors\', node_id, direction:\'outgoing\'})\n├─ Full context for a symbol?    → graph({action:\'symbol360\', name})\n├─ Related files within N hops?  → graph({action:\'traverse\', node_id, max_depth:2})\n├─ Layer/module isolation check? → graph({action:\'depth_traverse\', node_id, max_depth:3})\n└─ Graph size/health?            → graph({action:\'stats\'})\n```\n\n**Use this BEFORE** reaching for `analyze({ aspect: "dependencies", ... })` (slower, less precise) or manually\ntracing via `symbol` + `trace` chains. The graph is auto-populated during indexing.\n\n### What AI Kit Tools Return (AST-Enhanced)\n\nThese tools use Tree-sitter WASM to analyze source code at the AST level, providing structured data that raw file reads cannot:\n\n| Tool | Rich Output |\n|------|-------------|\n| `file_summary` | Imports classified as **external vs internal** (`isExternal` flag). **Call edges** between functions (e.g., `handleRequest() → validateInput() @ line 42`). `exported` flag on interfaces and types. Import count breakdown. |\n| `symbol` | References include **scope** — which function/class/method contains each usage (e.g., `referenced in processOrder() at auth-service.ts:55`). |\n| `trace` | **Call-graph edges** discovered via AST syntax tree, not text matching. Supports forward (who does X call?) and backward (who calls X?) tracing. Scope context on each node. |\n| `measure` | **Cognitive complexity** — weights nesting depth (nested `if` inside `for` inside `try` scores higher). More useful than cyclomatic complexity for understanding code difficulty. |\n| `dead_symbols` | **AST export enumeration** — catches `export default`, barrel re-exports (`export { x } from`), `export =`, and `export type`. Regex fallback for non-AST-supported languages. |\n\n### Example: `file_summary` Output\n\n```\nsrc/auth-service.ts\nLanguage: typescript | Lines: 180 | Estimated tokens: ~1400\n\nImports (6): 3 external, 3 internal\n  - import { hash } from \'bcrypt\'          [external]\n  - import { UserRepo } from \'./user-repo\' [internal]\n\nFunctions (4):\n  - authenticate @ line 22 [exported]\n  - validateToken @ line 55 [exported]\n  - hashPassword @ line 90\n  - generateJwt @ line 110\n\nCall edges (12 intra-file):\n  - authenticate() → hashPassword() @ line 35\n  - authenticate() → generateJwt() @ line 42\n  - validateToken() → UserRepo.findById() @ line 68\n\nInterfaces (2):\n  - AuthResult @ line 8 [exported]\n  - TokenPayload @ line 14\n```\n\nCompare: `read_file` would cost ~1400 tokens for raw text. `file_summary` gives structured data in ~120 tokens — **12x reduction** with richer information.\n\n## Token Efficiency\n\n`config.tokenBudget` controls output verbosity globally:\n\n| Level | Output | Compression | Context Strategy |\n|-------|--------|-------------|------------------|\n| `efficient` (default) | Minimal output, score + top issues only | threshold 2000, budget 1000 | `stratum_card(T1)` |\n| `normal` | Standard output with parsed errors/pattern names | threshold 4000, budget 2000 | `compact()` |\n| `full` | Maximum detail with raw output/full tables | No compression | `digest()` |\n\nSet via: `config({ action: \'update\', updates: { tokenBudget: \'normal\' } })`\n\nTools with `detail` param inherit from `config.tokenBudget` when not explicitly set.\nCompression middleware applies to ALL tool responses automatically.\n\n## Search Strategy\n\n1. **Start broad**: `search({ query: "topic", search_mode: "hybrid" })`\n2. **Narrow**: Add `content_type`, `origin`, or `category` filters\n3. **Exact match**: Use `search_mode: "keyword"` for identifiers\n4. **Federated**: Use `find` to combine vector + glob + regex\n\n## Workflow Chains\n\n### Codebase Onboarding\n```\nanalyze({ aspect: "structure", path: "src/" })\n→ analyze({ aspect: "dependencies", path: "src/" })\n→ analyze({ aspect: "entry_points", path: "src/" })\n→ produce_knowledge({ path: "src/" })\n→ knowledge({ action: "remember", title: "Codebase onboarding complete", ... })\n```\n\n### Planning a Task\n```\nscope_map({ task: "implement user auth" })\n→ compact({ path: "src/auth.ts", query: "auth flow" })\n→ workset({ action: "save", name: "auth-task", files: [...] })\n```\n\n### Bug Investigation\n```\nparse_output({ output: <error> }) → symbol({ name: "failingFn" })\n→ trace({ symbol: "failingFn", direction: "backward" })\n→ blast_radius({ changed_files: ["suspect.ts"] })\n→ eval({ code: "hypothesis test" }) → check({ files: ["suspect.ts"] })\n```\n\n### Multi-Task Orchestration (DAG Queue)\n```\nqueue({ action: "create", name: "my-tasks" })\n→ queue({ action: "push", name: "my-tasks", title: "Task 1", data: { deps: [] } })\n→ queue({ action: "push", name: "my-tasks", title: "Task 2", data: { deps: ["task-1-id"] } })\n→ queue({ action: "next", name: "my-tasks" })   # Gets next ready task\n→ [do work]\n→ queue({ action: "done", name: "my-tasks", id: "<id>" })\n```\n\n### Safe Refactor with Lanes\n```\nscope_map({ task: "rename UserService" })\n→ lane({ action: "create", name: "refactor", files: [...] })\n→ [make changes in lane files]\n→ lane({ action: "diff", name: "refactor" })\n→ check({}) → test_run({})\n→ lane({ action: "merge", name: "refactor" })\n```\n\n### Lane — isolated read-only exploration\n\n`lane({ action:\'create\', name })` creates an isolated copy of the workspace. Use to try approach A vs B WITHOUT touching canonical source. Other actions: `list`, `diff`, `delete`. Compare with `lane({ action:\'diff\', names:[\'a\',\'b\'] })`. Do NOT use `lane` for actual refactors — use `checkpoint` instead (`checkpoint` = reversible on canonical source; `lane` = isolated copies for comparison).\n\n### After Making Changes\n```\nblast_radius({ changed_files: ["src/auth.ts"] })\n→ check({}) → test_run({ grep: "auth" })\n→ reindex()\n→ knowledge({ action: "remember", title: "Implemented auth", content: "..." })\n```\n\n### Pre-Commit Validation\n```\ngit_context({ diff: true })\n→ diff_parse({ diff: <staged diff> })\n→ blast_radius({ changed_files: [...] })\n→ check({}) → test_run({})\n```\n\n---\n\n## Persistent Memory\n\n| Action | Tool | Category |\n|--------|------|----------|\n| Store | `knowledge({ action: "remember", title, content, category })` | conventions, decisions, patterns, context, session |\n| Search | `search({ query, origin: "curated" })` | — |\n| Browse | `knowledge({ action: "list" })` or `knowledge({ action: "list", category })` | — |\n| Read | `knowledge({ action: "read", id })` | — |\n| Update | `knowledge({ action: "update", id, content })` | — |\n| Remove | `knowledge({ action: "forget", id })` | — |\n\n**Session checkpoint** (end of session): `knowledge({ action: "remember", title: "Session checkpoint: <topic>", content: "Done/Decisions/Next/Blockers", category: "session" })`\n\n## CLI Quick Reference\n\n```bash\naikit init              # Scaffold AI Kit in current directory\naikit init --force      # Overwrite all scaffold/skill files\naikit init --guide      # JSON report of stale files for LLM-driven updates\naikit serve             # Start MCP server (stdio or HTTP)\naikit search <q>    # Hybrid search\naikit find <q>      # Federated search\naikit symbol <name> # Resolve symbol\naikit scope-map <t> # Task reading plan\naikit compact <q>   # Context compression (--path file or stdin)\naikit check         # Typecheck + lint (--detail efficient|normal|full)\naikit test          # Run tests\naikit rename <old> <new> <path>  # Rename symbol\naikit lane create <name> --files f1,f2  # Create lane\naikit lane diff <name>  # View lane changes\naikit lane merge <name> # Merge lane back\naikit status        # Index stats\naikit reindex       # Rebuild index\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\n`kb.config.json` in project root:\n```json\n{\n  "sources": [{ "path": ".", "excludePatterns": ["node_modules/**", "**/node_modules/**", "dist/**", "coverage/**", ".aikit-data/**"] }],\n  "indexing": { "chunkSize": 1500, "chunkOverlap": 200, "minChunkSize": 100, "concurrency": 5 },\n  "embedding": { "model": "mixedbread-ai/mxbai-embed-large-v1", "dimensions": 1024 },\n  "store": { "backend": "lancedb", "path": ".aikit-data" },\n  "curated": { "path": "curated", "adapter": "filesystem" }\n}\n```\n\n## Tool Profiles\n\nTool profiles control which subset of the 61 tools are active. Profiles reduce token overhead by exposing only relevant tools for a given task.\n\n### Built-in Profiles\n\n| Profile | Description | Use When |\n|---------|-------------|----------|\n| `full` | All tools enabled (default) | General development, orchestration |\n| `safe` | Read-only tools — no file/state modifications | Code review, analysis, research |\n| `research` | Search, analysis, knowledge, web access | Investigation, documentation |\n| `minimal` | Essential tools only — search, check, test | Simple tasks, low-token budgets |\n| `discovery` | Full toolset + meta-tools for guided exploration | New users, onboarding, tool learning |\n\n### Activating a Profile\n\nSet `toolProfile` in `kb.config.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  "toolProfile": "research"\n}\n```\n\nBase tools (`status`, `config`, `guide`, `health`) are **always available** regardless of profile.\n\n## Development (Self-Dogfooding)\n\nWhen developing @vpxa/aikit itself: always `pnpm build` before using CLI/server (runs from `dist/`), always `reindex` after structural code changes, and don\'t run CLI and HTTP server simultaneously (LanceDB is single-process).\n\n---\n\n## Flows\n\nFlows are structured multi-step workflows that guide agents through complex tasks. They are the **primary workflow system** — use them instead of ad-hoc planning when a matching flow exists.\n\n### Flow Tools\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n|------|---------|\n| `flow` | Check if a flow is active + current step + phase (before/flow/after) + isEpilogue |\n\nDifferent `action` values handle listing, starting, reading steps, advancing, resets, run inspection, and add/update/remove flow management.\n\n### Flow Selection\n\n| Task Type | Flow | Why |\n|-----------|------|-----|\n| Bug fix, config change, small refactor | `aikit:basic` | Known scope, low risk |\n| New feature in existing module | `aikit:basic` | Clear boundaries |\n| New system/service/module | `aikit:advanced` | Needs spec + planning |\n| Cross-service changes | `aikit:advanced` | Multiple boundaries |\n| Architectural change | `aikit:advanced` | High impact |\n| Unclear scope or exploratory | No flow | Use agent\'s native workflow |\n\n### Flow Lifecycle\n\n1. **Start**: `flow({ action: \'list\' })` → choose flow → `flow({ action: \'start\', name: "<name>", topic: "<task>" })`\n2. **Each step**: `flow({ action: \'read\', step: "<name>" })` → follow step instructions → complete work\n3. **Advance**: `flow({ action: \'step\', advance: \'next\' })` → repeat from step 2\n4. **Epilogue**: After last flow step, mandatory epilogue steps run (e.g., `_docs-sync` updates `docs/`)\n5. **Resume**: `flow({ action: \'status\' })` → if active, `flow({ action: \'read\' })` for current step → continue\n6. **Reset**: `flow({ action: \'reset\' })` if you need to start over\n\n---\n\n## Reference Documentation\n\nFor detailed patterns on specific topics, load these reference files:\n\n| Topic | File | When to load |\n|-------|------|-------------|\n| Multi-task orchestration | `references/coordination.md` | Queue, DAG, lanes, worksets, stash, checkpoints |\n| Quality gates (FORGE) | `references/forge-protocol.md` | Complex tasks, evidence maps, tier classification |\n| Search & relationships | `references/search-patterns.md` | Finding code, tracing data flow, graph traversal |\n'},{file:`references/coordination.md`,content:`# Coordination & Multi-Task Orchestration

Reference this during Phase 2 (Investigate) and Phase 4 (Validate).\n\n## Environment Gotchas\n\n**Monorepos:** Root `package.json` may have no source — check for `workspaces`, `packages/`, or `apps/` directories. Each workspace may have independent dependencies and conventions. Map each sub-package separately.\n\n**Outdated README:** README often describes intended architecture, not the current one. Cross-reference with actual file structure before treating any README claim as fact.\n\n**TypeScript path aliases:** `tsconfig.json` `paths` config means imports like `@/foo` don\'t map directly to the filesystem. Map aliases to real paths before documenting structure.\n\n**Generated/compiled output:** Never document patterns from `dist/`, `build/`, `generated/`, `.next/`, `out/`, or `__pycache__/`. These are artefacts — document source conventions only.\n\n**`.env.example` reveals required config:** Secrets are never committed. Read `.env.example`, `.env.template`, or `.env.sample` to discover required environment variables.\n\n**`devDependencies` ≠ production stack:** Only `dependencies` (or equivalent) runs in production. Document linters, formatters, and test frameworks separately as dev tooling in `stack.md`.\n\n**Test TODOs ≠ production debt:** TODOs inside test directories are coverage gaps, not production technical debt. Separate them in `concerns.md`.\n\n**High-churn files = fragile areas:** Files appearing most in recent `git_context({})` output have the highest modification rate and likely hidden complexity. Always note them in `concerns.md`.\n\n## Anti-Pattern Table\n\n| ❌ Don\'t | ✅ Do instead |\n|---------|--------------|\n| "Uses Clean Architecture with Domain/Data layers" (when no such directories exist) | State only what directory structure actually shows |\n| "This is a Next.js project" (without checking `package.json`) | Check `dependencies` first.

Different flows produce different files — do not assume specific filenames exist.\n\n## Artifact Catalog\n\n| Artifact | Flow | Contains |\n|---|---|---|\n| `design-decisions.md` | `aikit:basic`, `aikit:advanced` | FORGE tier, approach, key decisions, constraints, and risks |\n| `assessment.md` | `aikit:basic` | Goal, affected files, approach steps, risks, and open questions |\n| `spec.md` | `aikit:advanced` | Requirements, acceptance criteria, and scope boundaries |\n| `plan.md` | `aikit:advanced` | Phased implementation plan and architecture decisions |\n| `tasks.md` | `aikit:advanced` | Atomic task list, dependencies, and agent assignments |\n| `progress.md` | `aikit:basic`, `aikit:advanced` | Changes made, tests, deviations, and validation results |\n| `verify-report.md` | `aikit:basic`, `aikit:advanced` | Verdict, quality gates, review findings, security, and recommendation |\n\n## Artifact-to-Documentation Mapping\n\n| Artifact | Contains | Documentation Target | Action |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `design-decisions.md` | FORGE tier, approach, key decisions | `docs/decisions/` | Create or update ADRs via `adr-skill` for each key decision |\n| `design-decisions.md` | Architecture approach, constraints | `docs/architecture/overview.md` | Update the design rationale section |\n| `spec.md` | Requirements, acceptance criteria | `docs/reference/` | Update API or component reference when public surface changed |\n| `plan.md` | Architecture decisions, phase design | `docs/architecture/` | Update architecture docs with structural changes |\n| `tasks.md` | Task breakdown, dependencies | Usually skip | Only document if it reveals new component boundaries |\n| `progress.md` | Files changed, deviations, tests | `docs/guides/testing.md` | Update when testing strategy changed |\n| `progress.md` | Deviations from plan | `docs/decisions/` | Document significant deviations as ADRs |\n| `verify-report.md` | Code review findings, security | `docs/architecture/overview.md` | Update if findings reveal architectural patterns |\n| `verify-report.md` | Security concerns | `docs/guides/` | Create or update security guidance when concerns are material |\n\n## Reading Strategy\n\nRead every artifact `find()` returns. Triage by content type:\n\n| Content Signal | Documentation Value | Action |\n|---|---|---|\n| Decisions, rationale, constraints | High — durable knowledge | Extract into `docs/decisions/` or architecture docs |\n| Requirements, scope, acceptance criteria | High — defines intent | Update reference docs if public surface changed |\n| Review findings, security concerns, quality gates | Medium — surfaces issues | Update architecture or guides if findings are material |\n| Implementation progress, task lists | Low — transient | Document only meaningful deviations from the plan |\n\nSkip artifacts that only repeat completed work with no insights beyond the code diff.\n\n> The catalog and mapping tables above list artifacts from built-in flows (`aikit:basic`, `aikit:advanced`). Custom flows may produce entirely different artifacts — always discover dynamically with `find()` and classify by content, not by filename.\n\n## What Not to Document\n\n| Avoid | Do Instead |\n|---|---|\n| Copying artifact text verbatim into `docs/` | Extract decisions, rationale, constraints, and stable guidance |\n| Documenting every task or progress update | Keep only durable insights that help future readers |\n| Mirroring temporary planning details | Preserve the final reasoning, not the transient workflow chatter |'},{file:`references/project-knowledge-gotchas.md`,content:'# Project Knowledge — Gotchas\n\nCommon pitfalls when documenting project knowledge. Reference this during Phase 2 (Investigate) and Phase 4 (Validate).\n\n## Environment Gotchas\n\n**Monorepos:** Root `package.json` may have no source — check for `workspaces`, `packages/`, or `apps/` directories. Each workspace may have independent dependencies and conventions. Map each sub-package separately.\n\n**Outdated README:** README often describes intended architecture, not the current one. Cross-reference with actual file structure before treating any README claim as fact.\n\n**TypeScript path aliases:** `tsconfig.json` `paths` config means imports like `@/foo` don\'t map directly to the filesystem. Map aliases to real paths before documenting structure.\n\n**Generated/compiled output:** Never document patterns from `dist/`, `build/`, `generated/`, `.next/`, `out/`, or `__pycache__/`. These are artefacts — document source conventions only.\n\n**`.env.example` reveals required config:** Secrets are never committed. Read `.env.example`, `.env.template`, or `.env.sample` to discover required environment variables.\n\n**`devDependencies` ≠ production stack:** Only `dependencies` (or equivalent) runs in production. Document linters, formatters, and test frameworks separately as dev tooling in `stack.md`.\n\n**Test TODOs ≠ production debt:** TODOs inside test directories are coverage gaps, not production technical debt. Separate them in `concerns.md`.\n\n**High-churn files = fragile areas:** Files appearing most in recent `git_context({})` output have the highest modification rate and likely hidden complexity. Always note them in `concerns.md`.\n\n## Anti-Pattern Table\n\n| ❌ Don\'t | ✅ Do instead |\n|---------|--------------|\n| "Uses Clean Architecture with Domain/Data layers" (when no such directories exist) | State only what directory structure actually shows |\n| "This is a Next.js project" (without checking `package.json`) | Check `dependencies` first. State what\'s actually there |\n| Guess the database from a variable name like `dbUrl` | Check manifest for `pg`, `mysql2`, `mongoose`, `prisma`, etc. |\n| Document `dist/` or `build/` naming patterns as conventions | Source files only |\n| Assume README describes current architecture | Cross-reference with actual file structure via `analyze({ aspect: "structure", ... })` |\n| Treat test TODOs as production tech debt | Separate coverage gaps from production concerns in `concerns.md` |'},{file:`references/project-knowledge-templates.md`,content:`# Project Knowledge Templates
