SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams create or refresh a workspace-local knowledge base for a Spec Kit repository without hardcoding project-specific facts into reusable templates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initializes, refreshes, exports, installs, and applies knowledge packs for a repository.
  • Supports both generated knowledge workflows and mounted pack workflows with repository inventory, AI review artifacts, and validation steps.
  • Useful when a workspace needs routing guidance, reviewed claims, or a portable pack that can be materialized into ai/knowledge.

Quick Start

Use this skill to bootstrap the workspace knowledge base for the target repository and then validate the resulting pack, lock state, and context budget.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a workspace knowledge base from repository inventory?

Bootstrapping a workspace knowledge base requires repository mapping, generated drafts, and review packets to initialize local ai/knowledge management. This process extracts reviewed claims and routing guidance without hardcoding project-specific facts into reusable templates.

What is a Spec Kit knowledge pack and when do I need to export or install one?

A Spec Kit knowledge pack is a portable artifact materialized into ai/knowledge during local repository initialization or refresh. You need to export or install one when a workspace requires routing guidance, reviewed claims, or portable context validation.

How do I validate the knowledge index and context budget for a mounted Spec Kit pack?

Validating the knowledge index and context budget involves tracking lock state and checking the mounted pack against repository mapping. This ensures the generated knowledge workflow maintains routing guidance and reviewed claims within allocated context limits.

Can I refresh an existing knowledge base without hardcoding project-specific facts into templates?

Yes, refreshing an existing knowledge base uses repository inventory and AI review artifacts to update routing guidance and reviewed claims. This workflow maintains reusable templates by materializing pack data directly into ai/knowledge.

Does bootstrapping Spec Kit knowledge packs work with mounted pack workflows and generated knowledge workflows?

Yes, bootstrapping supports both mounted pack workflows and generated knowledge workflows. It handles repository initialization, refresh, export, installation, and pack mounting by validating the knowledge index, lock tracking, and context budget.

Why does my knowledge base initialization fail during context budget validation?

Knowledge base initialization fails when repository mapping, generated drafts, or review packets are incomplete. Validation requires accurate lock tracking and context budget verification to ensure the knowledge index materializes properly into ai/knowledge.
