Why is the 'know validate' command critical?

Validation ensures the graph maintains its DAG properties, contains no cycles, and follows strict dependency rules, preventing architectural drift and broken implementation chains.

How does the Know tool handle different types of nodes?

It categorizes nodes into three types: Entities (structural nodes that participate in dependencies), References (terminal nodes with implementation details), and Meta (project metadata like decisions and assumptions).

Can the Know tool help identify missing project requirements?

Yes, by using the 'know gap-analysis' command, the tool can identify where dependency chains are broken or where features lack the necessary underlying components or actions.

What is a Specification Graph in the context of the Know tool?

A specification graph is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) stored in `.ai/spec-graph.json` that represents a software system as interconnected nodes, ensuring every relationship and dependency is explicit rather than implied.

Manages software system architecture through a directed acyclic graph to maintain explicit dependencies and structural integrity.

The Know tool provides a structured framework for managing the Specification Graph, which serves as the single source of truth for complex software systems. By representing system components as interconnected nodes in a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), it ensures that all relationships—from high-level user objectives to granular implementation operations—are explicit and verifiable. This skill allows Claude to navigate the project's 'WHAT' and 'HOW' chains, perform gap analysis to identify missing dependencies, and enforce architectural rules, making it indispensable for maintaining large-scale codebases where implied relationships often lead to technical debt.
