 3. **Follow the feature-knowledge skill**: Execute the 4-phase process (Scan → Extract → Distill → Forge) from `devflow:feature-knowledge`, keeping the leading `## Rules` section current: one-line `KB-AP-n` / `KB-INV-n` bullets whose IDs never change or get reused, with no volatile numbers (name the pinning test or constant instead)
 4. **State decisions in words**: If DECISIONS_CONTEXT is provided, state each relevant decision or pitfall in words in the section it governs — never its ADR/PF ID, one already in EXISTING_KB included. The "Related" section links only to other knowledge bases and files.
 5. **Handle refresh**: If EXISTING_KB is provided, update stale sections based on FILES_CHANGED while preserving any manually added content. Don't regenerate from scratch.
