Runtime Gate (per ADR-094)

Canonical resolution: This is the Claude Code variant. When both plugin-claude-code and plugin-claude-cowork are loaded in the same session (most common in Claude Desktop), bare /help resolves to this skill — aria-knowledge (Code) is the canonical owner of all 24 dual-port skills per ADR-094 §Part 1. The Cowork variant is namespaced-only: /aria-cowork:help.

Before Step 0: Check that the Bash tool is available in this session. If Bash is NOT available (you are running in Claude Cowork or another non-Code runtime), surface the following notification and wait for explicit user confirmation:

⚠️ Runtime mismatch — you invoked aria-knowledge's /help from a non-Code runtime.

This prints aria-knowledge's command reference (Code-side commands). For aria-cowork's reference, use /aria-cowork:help.

Use /aria-cowork:help instead? (y / n)

Wait for an explicit reply:

• y / yes — Use the Skill tool to invoke aria-cowork:help with the same arguments the user provided to this invocation. Do not proceed with this skill's steps; the cowork variant takes over and runs to completion. This is the default-yes path — auto-redirect is the helpful action.
• n / no — Proceed with this (aria-knowledge) variant anyway despite the runtime mismatch. The user has explicitly opted in.
• No response / any other reply — Treat as "do not proceed" and exit cleanly without running either variant.

This gate applies even when mode = auto per ADR-094 §Part 3. Auto mode's "implicit-yes on all gates" rule is suspended for the runtime-mismatch check — auto trusts that the user invoked the correct variant, and this gate enforces that precondition. All other auto-mode gates remain bypassed. The friction cost is now low: on y, the auto-redirect runs the correct variant with the original args.

If Bash is available, proceed to Step 0.

Output

## aria-knowledge Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| /setup | Configure knowledge folder, audit cadences, and plugin settings |
| /extract | Capture insights, decisions, and feedback from the current conversation |
| /audit [knowledge\|config\|style\|all] | Umbrella audit dispatcher — routes to the sub-audit named, or runs all in sequence with no arg |
| /audit-knowledge (alias: /knowledge-audit) | Review backlogs, promote to knowledge files, rebuild index |
| /audit-config (alias: /config-audit) | Check project configs and docs for drift and broken references |
| /audit style | Log-mining audit over session transcripts for revealed working-style rules (opt-in — not part of routine cadence) |
| /audit-share | Promote personal knowledge to the team-shared `_project-knowledge/` tier |
| /prospect [plan/session/todos/file/linear/branch] | Forward-looking pre-mortem on a plan before any code — per-step risk verdicts (PROCEED/SHRINK/SPLIT/DEFER/KILL), evidence-sourcing pass, simpler-alternative discipline |
| /retrospect [--range/--pr/--session/--commit] | Structured retrospective on a shipped commit range — per-fix validation, simpler-alternative discipline, re-diagnosis, action verdicts, failure-mode pattern check |
| /recap [arc\|commit\|push\|pull] | Read-only orientation — a scannable What/Where/Status table of recent work (this session by default; or the last arc/commit/push/pull). Summarizes, never validates; writes nothing |
| /roadmap [<name>\|refresh] | Per-project feature roadmap — a Feature/Band/Status grid (Shipped/Current/Next/Later × done/in-progress/blocked/buildable) synthesized from CLAUDE.md + PROGRESS.md, persisted to a committed ROADMAP.md with staleness-aware refresh. Renders + offers refresh when stale; never auto-commits |
| /foundational-review <scope-root> [--decision "..."] [--extend] | Foundational review chain before an irreversible decision (freeze/tag/flip/re-scope): verdict + premises + A–F → design spec → cold-executable plan → composed /prospect → kickoff. Requires a named irreversible decision (else redirects). |
| /readiness-audit <scope-root> [--for "<event>"] | Surface readiness audit (sibling of /foundational-review): parallel exploration → controller re-verification of agent claims → tiered evidence-celled findings → phased remediation. Read-only probes; no decision anchor needed. |
| /context [tags] | Load relevant knowledge files by topic (supports AND/OR, project expansion) |
| /index | Rebuild the tag-based knowledge index with cross-references |
| /rules [number] | Look up a working rule by number or keyword |
| /backlog [type] | View and manage pending intake items |
| /stats | Knowledge base health dashboard — file counts, backlogs, audit status |
| /ask [question] | Research a question, check existing knowledge, save answer as a knowledge doc |
| /intake [url or text] | Clip a single URL/snippet whole → intake/clippings/ (reviewed at next /audit-knowledge) |
| /intake [path or dir or glob] | Bulk import knowledge from files, directories, or globs into the backlogs |
| /intake extract [source] | Decompose a source (URL/file/doc via ~~docs MCP) into backlog entries |
| /intake doc [url or title] | Capture a single doc with 5-section structured body (claims/keeping/contested/action/reaction) → intake/docs/ |
| /intake thread [id] | Pull a chat/email thread via ~~chat/~~email MCP → intake/clippings/ |
| /interview <mode> | Elicit knowledge via dialogue (project / knowledge / deep-dive); chooses cadence in-session; stages to intake/ for manual review |
| /codemap [mode] | Feature-organized CODEMAP.md for any codebase (create/inventory/update/section) |
| /distill [text or path] | Tiered task spec from raw text; optional --group for CODEMAP-loaded context |
| /stitch <mode> <group> | Cross-repo binding (auth/endpoints/entities/drift) for a product group |
| /wrapup [auto\|snap] | End-of-session close-out — update PROGRESS/CLAUDE.md, prompt for commit, verify continuity. `auto` runs silently; `snap` runs like auto but archives the transcript via /snapshot for later extraction instead of /extract (use when context is high) |
| /handoff [auto\|brief\|snap] | Express handoff — same coverage as /wrapup, one combined-go review (or `auto` for silent), always emits a paste-ready next-session opener. `brief` mode produces a copy/paste coworker brief (Hey [coworker]-style prose, 80-150 words) instead of next-session opener — no PROGRESS/CLAUDE/memory/commit/extract side effects. `snap` mode runs like auto but archives the transcript via /snapshot for later extraction instead of /extract (use when context is high) |
| /snapshot | Save the current session transcript to intake/pre-compact-captures/ on demand |
| /statusline [on\|off\|status] | Install/remove the CLI status-line meter — context-window bar + 5h/7d plan-usage % (Claude Code only) |
| /help | This command reference |

Run /setup to configure. See QUICKSTART.md for a walkthrough of your first 3 sessions.

## Model Recommendations

These are recommendations only — ARIA does not force a model. Switch per session via `/model` based on the skill you're about to run.

| Skill | Recommended Model | Why |
|-------|-------------------|-----|
| /extract | Highest-capability Opus, medium-to-high effort | Judgment-heavy: distinguishing reusable signal from ephemeral noise, writing non-obvious Why/How-to-apply lines. |
| /audit-knowledge | Highest-capability Opus, medium-to-high effort | Cross-references backlogs against the promoted index, decides promotion vs. discard, detects emerging themes. |
| /audit-config | Highest-capability Opus, medium-to-high effort | Reads across CLAUDE.md files and configs to detect drift and broken references. |
| /retrospect | Highest-capability Opus, medium-to-high effort | Multi-stage judgment per fix: validation status assignment, simpler-alternative identification, hypothesis generation, failur
