Kage vs Projectmem

kage_docs_search

Search this repo's OWN committed documentation (README, docs/**, *.md, common doc dirs — including any framework/API docs checked into the repo). BM25 over heading-anchored chunks from .agent_memory/indexes/docs-index.json. Returns ranked doc hits with doc_path, heading, line, and snippet. This indexes only files on disk in the project, never the internet.

kage_refresh

Rebuild repo indexes, code graph, memory graph, metrics, and stale-memory metadata. Agents should run this after meaningful file/content changes before PR checks; push-only or same-tree commits do not need another refresh. On non-default git branches metadata-only packet rewrites are skipped (quiet refresh) to avoid merge conflicts; pass force to persist them anyway. On a repo with many stale packets or validation warnings, stale_packets and validation.warnings are capped to the 10 most actionable entries by default (ranked by urgency), with the true total and a truncation note; pass limit or verbose for more.

kage_pr_check

Check whether repo memory, code graph, memory graph, and stale-memory state are ready for merge. Leads with a human summary of team memories invalidated by the current change — relay it to the developer. On a repo with many stale packets, validation findings, or reconciliation items, those lists are each capped to the 10 most actionable entries by default (stale packets ranked by urgency), with true totals and truncation notes; pass limit or verbose for more.

kage_supersede

Replace one repo-local memory packet with a newer one that corrects or obsoletes it. Marks the old packet superseded, links it to the replacement, and writes bidirectional lineage edges so the history stays traceable. Use this instead of deleting when new knowledge updates an old fact, or to resolve a contradiction surfaced by kage_conflicts. Mutates both packets on disk: the superseded packet is withheld from recall but kept for lineage. Returns ids, paths, and titles for confirmation, not the full packet bodies.

kage_skills

Codify durable, verified repo memory (runbooks, workflows, actionable decisions) into git-native SKILL.md files under .claude/skills/ that every teammate's agent auto-loads. Only grounded, non-stale packets become skills. Pass dry_run to preview without writing. dir overrides the output directory.

kage_learn

Capture a durable, reusable learning from the current session as a verified repo-local memory packet (committed under .agent_memory/, shared with the team via git). Use it the moment you discover something a future session should know: a decision and its rationale, a bug's root cause and fix, a convention, or a setup step. Prefer it over diff-based proposals when you already know what was learned. The write is rejected if every cited path is missing from the repo (set allow_missing_paths for a file you are about to create), and secrets/PII are scanned out before writing. Returns the new packet id plus any contradiction warnings against existing memory.

kage_feedback

Record how useful a recalled repo-local memory packet was, which tunes Kage's trust and future recall. 'helpful' reinforces the packet, 'wrong' flags it as disputed, and 'stale' marks it for re-verification and withholds it from recall until refreshed. Use it right after a recalled packet helped you, misled you, or no longer matched the code. Mutates the packet's quality signals on disk.
