What problem does it solve?
Enforces a three-layer knowledge search before building infrastructure to prevent reinventing the wheel and reduce wasted effort.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Layer 1: Tried-and-true knowledge in distribution reduces needless rework.
- Layer 2: New and popular patterns surface current approaches, with caution about hype.
- Layer 3: First-principles reasoning anchors decisions and reveals novel solutions.
- Eureka Moments: Log timestamped insights into Learnings.md to capture lessons learned.
- WebSearch Fallback: If web search is unavailable, proceed with in-distribution knowledge and note the fallback.
Quick Start
Ask the system to perform a three-layer knowledge check before proceeding with a build.
