Core Architecture & Philosophy:
PAISYSTEMARCHITECTURE.md- System architecture and philosophy, foundational principles (CLI-First, Deterministic Code, Prompts Wrap Code) | ⭐ PRIMARY REFERENCE | Triggers: “system architecture”, “how does the system work”, “system principles”ARCHITECTURE_RELATIONSHIPS.md- How Principal, DA, Engines, Agents, Archetypes, Personas, Hooks, and Skills relate to each other | ⭐ CANONICAL | Triggers: “how does PAI work”, “what’s the difference between agents and engines”, “archetypes vs personas”, “architecture map”FEEDSYSTEM.md- Feed System: intelligence aggregation, multi-dimensional rating, rule-based routing, Arbol integration | ⭐ CRITICAL | Triggers: “feed system”, “intelligence routing”, “content monitoring”, “feed architecture”, “rating system”, “routing rules”ACTIONS.md- Actions: atomic units of work (LLM, shell, custom) deployed as Cloudflare Workers | Triggers: “actions”, “arbol actions”, “action workers”PIPELINES.md- Pipelines: action chaining with verification gates | Triggers: “pipelines”, “action chaining”, “verification gates”FLOWS.md- Flows: scheduled source → pipeline → destination orchestration via Cloudflare Cron | Triggers: “flows”, “cron triggers”, “scheduled pipelines”, “arbol flows”ARBOLSYSTEM.md- Arbol: unified overview of the Cloudflare Workers execution platform (Actions, Pipelines, Flows) | Triggers: “arbol”, “arbol system”, “cloud execution”, “worker architecture”CLI.md- PAI command-line tools: Algorithm CLI (loop/interactive mode) and Arbol CLI (actions/pipelines) | Triggers: “algorithm CLI”, “pai CLI”, “command line”, “run algorithm”, “run action”SYSTEM_USER_EXTENDABILITY.md- Two-tier SYSTEM/USER architecture for extensibility | Triggers: “two tier”, “system vs user”, “how to extend”, “customization pattern”CLIFIRSTARCHITECTURE.md- CLI-First pattern detailsSKILLSYSTEM.md- Custom skill system with triggers and workflow routing | ⭐ CRITICAL | Triggers: “how to structure a skill”, “skill routing”, “create new skill”
Skill Execution:
When a skill is invoked, follow the SKILL.md instructions step-by-step: execute voice notifications, use the routing table to find the workflow, and follow the workflow instructions in order.
🚨 MANDATORY USE WHEN FORMAT (Always Active):
Every skill description MUST use this format:
description: [What it does]. USE WHEN [intent triggers using OR]. [Capabilities].
Example:
description: Complete blog workflow. USE WHEN user mentions their blog, website, or site, OR wants to write, edit, or publish content. Handles writing, editing, deployment.
Rules:
USE WHENkeyword is MANDATORY (Claude Code parses this)- Use intent-based triggers:
user mentions,user wants to,OR - Do NOT list exact phrases like
'write a blog post' - Max 1024 characters
See SKILLSYSTEM.md for complete documentation.
Development & Testing:
USER/TECHSTACKPREFERENCES.md- Core technology stack (TypeScript, bun, Cloudflare) | Triggers: “what stack do I use”, “TypeScript or Python”, “bun or npm”- Testing standards → Development Skill
Agent System:
- Agents Skill (
~/.claude/skills/Agents/) - Complete agent composition system | See Agents skill for custom agent creation, traits, and voice mappings - Delegation patterns are documented inline in the “Delegation & Parallelization” section below
Response & Communication:
USER/RESPONSEFORMAT.md- Mandatory response format | Triggers: “output format”, “response format”THEFABRICSYSTEM.md- Fabric patterns | Triggers: “fabric patterns”, “prompt engineering”- Voice notifications → VoiceServer (system alerts, agent feedback)
Configuration & Systems:
THEHOOKSYSTEM.md- Hook configuration | Triggers: “hooks configuration”, “create custom hooks”MEMORYSYSTEM.md- Memory documentation | Triggers: “memory system”, “capture system”, “work tracking”, “session history”TERMINALTABS.md- Terminal tab state system (colors + suffixes for working/completed/awaiting/error states) | Triggers: “tab colors”, “tab state”, “kitty tabs”
Reference Data:
USER/ASSETMANAGEMENT.md- Digital assets registry for instant recognition & vulnerability management | ⭐ CRITICAL | Triggers: “my site”, “vulnerability”, “what uses React”, “upgrade path”, “tech stack”USER/CONTACTS.md- Complete contact directory | Triggers: “who is Angela”, “Bunny’s email”, “show contacts” | Top 7 quick ref belowUSER/DEFINITIONS.md- Canonical definitions | Triggers: “definition of AGI”, “how do we define X”PAISECURITYSYSTEM/- Security architecture, patterns, and defense protocols | Triggers: “security system”, “security patterns”, “prompt injection”PAI/USER/PAISECURITYSYSTEM/- Personal security policies (private) | See security section below for critical always-active rules
Workflows:
Workflows/- Operational procedures (git, delegation, MCP, blog deployment, etc.)
