SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps automate safe AFS context handling by providing a structured approach to discover context roots, ensure necessary scaffolding, and perform read/write operations on the scratchpad while preserving memory integrity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover the active context root with standardized commands.
  • Ensure context scaffolding is present before use.
  • Read and write through the AFS scratchpad and manage knowledge reads with safety.
  • Use workspace navigation tools (ws list, ws find, ws status) for project discovery.
  • Operate via an AFS CLI wrapper for non-interactive agents.

Quick Start

Locate the active context root and ensure scaffolding, then read or write to the scratchpad using the AFS CLI.

FAQPage Schema
How do I discover the active context root for agent memory operations?

To discover the active context root, use standardized workspace navigation commands like ws list, ws find, and ws status. These tools locate the active project directory and validate the path before agents perform any memory read or write operations.

How do I safely write to a scratchpad memory without corrupting existing context?

To safely write to scratchpad memory, use the AFS CLI wrapper to perform targeted write operations. The system enforces safe usage patterns by keeping all knowledge memory read-only except for authorized writes to the scratchpad area, preserving overall context integrity.

What is context scaffolding and do I need it for cross-agent coordination?

Context scaffolding is the required directory structure for secure cross-agent coordination. You need it because the system validates and ensures this scaffolding is present before use, allowing multiple agents to safely interact with the shared workspace without missing critical paths.

Can I use workspace navigation tools to find project directories for non-interactive agents?

Yes, you can use workspace navigation tools such as ws list, ws find, and ws status for project discovery. These tools operate via an AFS CLI wrapper specifically designed to enable non-interactive agents to locate and navigate project contexts effectively.

What are the limitations of read-only memory when managing agent context?

The limitation of read-only memory is that agents cannot modify existing knowledge files directly. To persist new information, agents must route changes exclusively through the writable scratchpad, ensuring the broader context memory remains safe from unauthorized alterations or corruption.
