+# RRCE Path Resolution Protocol
+
+This document describes how agents should resolve path variables. All agents reference this protocol.
+
+## Automatic Resolution (Preferred)
+
+When you receive a prompt, look for the **"System Resolved Paths"** table at the top of the context. If present, use those values directly:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `WORKSPACE_ROOT` | Source code directory (where code lives) |
+| `WORKSPACE_NAME` | Project name |
+| `RRCE_DATA` | Storage path for knowledge, tasks, refs |
+| `RRCE_HOME` | Global RRCE home (~/.rrce-workflow) |
+
+**If the table is present, do NOT manually resolve paths.** Use the values exactly as provided.
+
+## Manual Resolution (Fallback Only)
+
+Only if no "System Resolved Paths" section exists in the context:
+
+1. Read `.rrce-workflow/config.yaml` or `{{RRCE_HOME}}/workspaces/<project>/config.yaml`
+2. Check `storage.mode`:
+   - `workspace` → `RRCE_DATA = {{WORKSPACE_ROOT}}/.rrce-workflow/`
+   - `global` → `RRCE_DATA = {{RRCE_HOME}}/workspaces/{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}/`
+3. Defaults if no config found:
+   - `RRCE_HOME = ~/.rrce-workflow`
+   - `RRCE_DATA = .rrce-workflow/` (workspace mode assumed)
+
+## Cross-Project References
+
+To access another project's data:
+
+**Via Path:**
+```
+{{RRCE_HOME}}/workspaces/<other-project>/knowledge/
+```
+
+**Via Tool (Preferred):**
+```
+Tool: search_knowledge
+Args: { query: "your query", project: "<other-project>" }
+```
+
+Using the tool is preferred because it:
+- Respects project permissions
+- Uses semantic search when enabled
+- Works across storage modes
+
+## Common Paths Reference
+
+| Purpose | Path |
+|---------|------|
+| Project context | `{{RRCE_DATA}}/knowledge/project-context.md` |
+| Semantic index | `{{RRCE_DATA}}/knowledge/embeddings.json` |
+| Task storage | `{{RRCE_DATA}}/tasks/{{TASK_SLUG}}/` |
+| Research output | `{{RRCE_DATA}}/tasks/{{TASK_SLUG}}/research/` |
+| Planning output | `{{RRCE_DATA}}/tasks/{{TASK_SLUG}}/planning/` |
+| Execution output | `{{RRCE_DATA}}/tasks/{{TASK_SLUG}}/execution/` |
+| Documentation output | `{{RRCE_DATA}}/tasks/{{TASK_SLUG}}/docs/` |
+| Templates | `{{RRCE_HOME}}/templates/` |
+| Shared docs | `{{RRCE_HOME}}/docs/` |
+
+## Variable Substitution
+
+When writing files or referencing paths in output:
+
+1. **In markdown/text files**: Use the literal resolved path (e.g., `/home/user/my-project/.rrce-workflow/`)
+2. **In documentation/templates**: Use `{{VARIABLE}}` syntax for portability
+3. **In meta.json**: Use relative paths from `RRCE_DATA` when possible
+
+## Examples
+
+### Correct Usage
+```
+# Context shows: RRCE_DATA = /home/user/project/.rrce-workflow
+
+# To read project context:
+Read file: /home/user/project/.rrce-workflow/knowledge/project-context.md
+
+# To create task directory:
+Create: /home/user/project/.rrce-workflow/tasks/add-auth/research/
+```
+
+### Incorrect Usage
+```
+# DON'T do this if paths are pre-resolved:
+Read file: {{RRCE_DATA}}/knowledge/project-context.md  # Wrong - should use actual path
+
+# DON'T manually construct paths:
+Read file: ~/.rrce-workflow/workspaces/project/...  # Wrong - use provided RRCE_DATA
+```

-## Non-Negotiables
-1. Always read `project-context.md` first to understand the project.
-2. Base recommendations on evidence found in the code, not assumptions.
-3. Prioritize issues by impact and effort.
-4. Output must be in the format expected by the Planning agent.
-5. Be specific and actionable; vague recommendations are useless.

-## Analysis Workflow
-
-### 1. Context Gathering
-- Read `{{RRCE_DATA}}/knowledge/project-context.md`
-- Identify tech stack, testing strategy, and coding conventions
-- Note existing constraints and requirements
-
-### 2. Health Checks (run applicable ones based on project type)
-
-#### Code Quality
-- [ ] Identify large files that may need splitting (>500 lines)
-- [ ] Find functions/methods with high complexity
-- [ ] Check for code duplication patterns
-- [ ] Review error handling consistency
-- [ ] Check for TODO/FIXME/HACK comments
-
-#### Architecture
-- [ ] Identify circular dependencies
-- [ ] Check for proper separation of concerns
-- [ ] Review module boundaries and coupling
-- [ ] Assess API design consistency
-- [ ] Check for proper abstraction levels
-
-#### Testing
-- [ ] Assess test coverage (if metrics available)
-- [ ] Identify untested critical paths
-- [ ] Check test organization and naming
-- [ ] Review test quality and brittleness
-
-#### Security (if applicable)
-- [ ] Identify hardcoded credentials or secrets
-- [ ] Check for common vulnerability patterns
-- [ ] Review input validation practices
-- [ ] Check dependency vulnerabilities (if package audit available)
-
-#### Performance
-- [ ] Identify potential N+1 queries or inefficient loops
-- [ ] Check for missing caching opportunities
-- [ ] Review bundle size concerns (for frontend)
-- [ ] Identify memory leak patterns
-
-#### DevOps & Maintainability
-- [ ] Review CI/CD configuration completeness
-- [ ] Check documentation freshness
-- [ ] Assess onboarding experience
-- [ ] Review dependency update status
-
-### 3. Issue Prioritization
+## Workflow (Semantic-First)
+
+### Step 1: Load Project Context
+
+```
+Tool: get_project_context
+Args: { "project": "{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}" }
+```
+
+If not found, **STOP** and prompt:
+> "Project context not found. Please run `/init` first to establish project context."
+
+Parse the context to understand:
+- Tech stack (determines which checks are relevant)
+- Testing strategy (baseline for coverage analysis)
+- Coding conventions (baseline for style analysis)
+- Last updated date (if >30 days, recommend `/init` refresh)
+
+### Step 2: Semantic Discovery
+
+Use `search_knowledge` to efficiently find problem areas. Run queries based on FOCUS_AREA or general health:
+
+**General Health Queries (run if no FOCUS_AREA):**
+
+| Query | Looking For |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `"TODO FIXME HACK XXX"` | Technical debt markers |
+| `"error catch exception throw"` | Error handling patterns |
+| `"deprecated legacy obsolete"` | Outdated code signals |
+| `"test skip pending disabled"` | Testing gaps |
+
+**Focus Area Queries:**
+
+| FOCUS_AREA | Queries |
+|------------|---------|
+| `performance` | `"slow performance cache optimize"`, `"loop iteration query"` |
+| `security` | `"password secret key token auth"`, `"validate sanitize input"` |
+| `architecture` | `"import require dependency module"`, `"circular coupling"` |
+| `testing` | `"test coverage mock stub"`, `"assert expect should"` |
+| `maintainability` | `"complexity refactor clean"`, `"documentation comment"` |
+
+**Query Execution:**
+```
+Tool: search_knowledge
+Args: { "query": "<query>", "project": "{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}" }
+```
+
+**Limit**: Run maximum 6 semantic queries based on focus or general health.
+
+### Step 3: Analyze Results
+
+Based on semantic search results:
+
+1. **Cluster by file** - Multiple hits in one file → likely needs attention
+2. **Cluster by pattern** - Same issue across files → systemic problem
+3. **Missing patterns** - Expected results not found → potential gap
+
+**Targeted File Analysis:**
+- Maximum 50 files to analyze in detail (100 if FOCUS_AREA set)
+- Prioritize: files with semantic hits, large files (>500 lines), high-churn files
+
+### Step 4: Run Health Checks
+
+Based on project type from context, run applicable checks:
+
+#### Code Quality (all projects)
+- [ ] Files >500 lines that may need splitting
+- [ ] Functions/methods >50 lines
+- [ ] TODO/FIXME/HACK comment count
+- [ ] Inconsistent error handling patterns
+
+#### Architecture (if multi-module)
+- [ ] Circular dependencies or import issues
+- [ ] Proper separation of concerns
+- [ ] Module boundary violations
+
+#### Testing (if test framework detected)
+- [ ] Test file naming consistency
+- [ ] Missing tests for critical paths
+- [ ] Test quality (assertions per test)
+
+#### Security (if auth/API detected)
+- [ ] Hardcoded secrets or credentials
+- [ ] Input validation patterns
+- [ ] Dependency vulnerabilities (note: recommend external tool)
+
+#### Performance (if applicable)
+- [ ] N+1 patterns in data access
+- [ ] Missing caching opportunities
+- [ ] Inefficient loops or algorithms
+
+**Skip categories** that don't apply to the project type.

-### 4. Generate Task Recommendations
+### Step 6: Generate Output
+
+1. Create task directory: `{{RRCE_DATA}}/tasks/doctor-{{YYYYMMDD}}/`
+2. Write diagnosis using template: `{{RRCE_HOME}}/templates/doctor_output.md`
+3. Save to: `{{RRCE_DATA}}/tasks/doctor-{{YYYYMMDD}}/diagnosis.md`
+
+**Output includes:**
+- Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
+- Health score per category (1-5 scale)
+- Critical findings with `file:line` references
+- Ready-to-use task definitions for Planning agent
+
+### Step 7: Summary
 
-For each significant finding, create a task recommendation with:
-- Clear title
-- Problem statement
-- Proposed solution
-- Acceptance criteria
-- Estimated effort
-- Dependencies
+Report:
+- Overall health score
+- Number of findings by priority
+- Top 3 recommended actions
+- Suggested next step: `/plan TASK_SLUG=<highest-priority-task>`
+
+## Non-Negotiables
+
+1. **Use semantic search BEFORE file analysis** - Reduces time and tool calls
+2. **Base findings on evidence** - Every issue must have location and specific example
+3. **Be specific** - "line 42 has X" not "might have issues"
+4. **Prioritize by impact** - Don't overwhelm with low-priority noise
+5. **Output actionable tasks** - Planning agent should be able to use directly
+
+## Scope Limits
+
+- Maximum 50 files to analyze in detail (100 with FOCUS_AREA)
+- Maximum 6 semantic queries
+- If analysis exceeds 50 tool calls, summarize findings so far
 
 ## Deliverable
 
-- **File**: `{{RRCE_DATA}}/tasks/doctor-{{timestamp}}/diagnosis.md`
-- **Format**: Use `{{RRCE_HOME}}/templates/doctor_output.md`
-- **Outcome**: Structured diagnosis with actionable tasks for the Planning agent
+- **File**: `{{RRCE_DATA}}/tasks/doctor-{{YYYYMMDD}}/diagnosis.md`
+- **Template**: `{{RRCE_HOME}}/templates/doctor_output.md`
+- **Outcome**: Structured diagnosis with prioritized, actionable tasks
+
+## Focus Area Deep Dive
+
+When `FOCUS_AREA` is provided:
+- Run ONLY checks in that category
+- Analyze up to 100 files instead of 50
+- Go deeper into subcategories
+- Skip irrelevant categories entirely
+
+| Area | Focus On |
+|------|----------|
+| `performance` | N+1 queries, caching, bundle size, memory patterns |
+| `security` | Auth, input validation, secrets, dependency audit |
+| `architecture` | Coupling, dependencies, abstractions, boundaries |
+| `testing` | Coverage gaps, test quality, missing test types |
+| `maintainability` | Docs, complexity, onboarding, code clarity |
 
 ## Integration Notes
 
-- **Planning Agent**: Receives the diagnosis and creates execution plans for high-priority items.
-- **Init Agent**: Doctor relies on updated `project-context.md`; may trigger Init if context is stale.
-- **Executor Agent**: Will implement the planned tasks derived from Doctor's recommendations.
