To manage allowed knowledge-base layers, you can list, add, or remove project layers by consulting the shelf-index and updating CLAUDE.md atomically to maintain a stable layer vocabulary across library files.

To safely remove unused knowledge-base layers, the system consults the shelf-index to ensure no files reference them before removal, preventing destructive changes and preserving library file consistency.

Yes, you can use the forced removal option to remove a knowledge-base layer even when files reference it, though standard removal prevents deletion to avoid breaking active library file references.

A shelf-index tracks allowed knowledge-base layers and their file counts, enforcing validation of layer names and reading CLAUDE.md configuration to ensure non-destructive, auditable changes to the project layer vocabulary.

To add a new knowledge-base layer, the system validates the layer name against the shelf-index and updates the CLAUDE.md configuration atomically to expand the allowed set of project layers.

Using shelf-index for knowledge-base layer management enforces validation, ensures non-destructive atomic updates to CLAUDE.md, and prevents removing layers still referenced by library files, avoiding consistency errors.
