Knowledge Curation
Overview
Two-phase knowledge management: prime context before work starts, and extract learnings after work completes. Knowledge persists in JSONL files for cross-session continuity.
When to Use
- Before starting any work (prime mode)
- After completing work, BEFORE PR creation (reflect mode)
- When recovering from context loss (recovery priming)
Knowledge Categories
| Category | File | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Critical Rules | facts.jsonl | MUST FOLLOW constraints |
| Gotchas | gotchas.jsonl | Common pitfalls |
| Patterns | patterns.jsonl | Codebase best practices |
| Decisions | decisions.jsonl | Architectural choices with rationale |
| Anti-Patterns | anti-patterns.jsonl | What NOT to do |
| Codebase Facts | codebase-facts.jsonl | Structural information |
| API Behaviors | api-behaviors.jsonl | Undocumented quirks |
Process
Prime Mode
- Load knowledge base files for work type
- Surface MUST FOLLOW rules first
- Present GOTCHAS and PATTERNS
- Load relevant DECISIONS
Reflect Mode
- Extract patterns from completed work
- Identify gotchas from review failures
- Record architectural decisions with rationale
- Persist to .beads/knowledge/

model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
