Add Domain extends an existing knowledge system by deriving a new domain configuration through conversation, then generating folders, templates, and vocabulary while connecting to the current architecture. Use it when adding a new subject area to a multi-domain note system.

Ars Contexta Setup scaffolds a complete knowledge system by detecting the platform, asking a few questions, deriving a configuration, and generating files. Use it to create a structured vault with processing pipeline, automation hooks, and navigation maps for an AI agent.

Ars Contexta Tutorial guides new users through the ars contexta system with an interactive, step-by-step walkthrough that creates real notes in the vault. It offers three tracks (researcher, manager, personal) and triggers on '/tutorial' or phrases like 'walk me through'.

Ask queries the bundled research knowledge graph to answer methodology questions, routing through WHY, HOW, and WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE tiers plus reference documents. Use it when you need research-backed guidance on knowledge system design, workflows, or domain examples.

Contextual Help provides contextual guidance and command discovery for the Ars Contexta knowledge system. It shows available commands, active skills, and intelligent suggestions in narrative, contextual, or compact modes based on vault state.

Graph provides interactive knowledge graph analysis, routing natural language questions to graph scripts, interpreting results in domain vocabulary, and suggesting concrete actions. Use it to check graph health, find orphans, dangling links, and synthesis opportunities.

Knowledge System Advisor gives research-backed recommendations for knowledge system architecture. Describe your use case, constraints, and goals to get specific advice grounded in research with rationale for each decision.

Knowledge System Architect analyzes health reports, friction patterns, and derivation history to propose specific changes with research justification. It never auto-implements; recommendations require explicit approval.

Learn researches a topic and grows your knowledge graph. It uses Exa deep researcher, web search, or basic search to investigate topics, files results with full provenance, and chains to the processing pipeline.

Next Action surfaces the most valuable next action by combining task stack, queue state, inbox pressure, health, and goals. Use it with /next or asking what to do next to get one specific action with rationale.

Pipeline processes source files end-to-end: seeding, extracting claims, reflecting, reweaving, verifying, and archiving them into a knowledge base. Use it when you want to run the full processing workflow on a file or batch of files in one command.

Ralph processes tasks from a work queue, spawning isolated subagents for each phase to keep context fresh. Use it to run multi-phase knowledge base pipelines in serial, parallel, batch, or dry-run modes.

Reduce extracts structured knowledge from source material into atomic, retrievable notes. Use it when triggered by /reduce, "extract insights", or when processing inbox items and handoff queues to externalize reasoning and evidence.

Refactor plans vault restructuring from configuration changes by comparing ops/config.yaml against ops/derivation.md, identifies dimension shifts, and shows a restructuring plan before executing on approval.

Reflect finds connections between notes and updates MOCs using semantic judgment. Use it after /reduce creates notes, when exploring connections, or when a topic needs synthesis.

Remember captures friction as methodology notes for Claude Code agents. Use /remember with an explicit description, empty for contextual review of recent corrections, or --mine-sessions to scan transcripts for patterns and prevent repeating mistakes.

Reseed re-derives a knowledge system from first principles when structural drift accumulates, analyzing dimension incoherence, vocabulary mismatch, boundary dissolution, and template divergence while preserving all content. Use it when incremental fixes are no longer sufficient and the architecture no longer coheres.

Rethink challenges system assumptions against accumulated evidence, triaging observations and tensions, detecting patterns, and generating proposals. Use it when a knowledge system needs to review what it has learned and revise its own rules.

Reweave updates old notes with new connections, sharpens claims, and considers splits by revisiting existing notes that predate newer related content. Use it for backward pass note maintenance in knowledge bases.

Seed Source File moves a source file from the inbox into a processing queue, checks for duplicates, creates an archive folder, and writes an extract task. Use it when you want to queue a markdown file for downstream knowledge extraction.

Tasks views and manages the task stack and pipeline queue, showing pending work, active tasks, completed items, and queue state. Use it to add, complete, drop, reorder tasks, and check discoveries or archivable batches.

Validate Notes checks a note's YAML frontmatter, required fields, enum values, description quality, and wiki-link health against domain-specific templates. It warns rather than blocks capture, and triggers on '/validate', '/validate [note]', 'check schema', 'validate note', or 'validate all'.

Vault Health runs condition-based vault diagnostics across schema, orphans, links, description quality, three-space boundaries, throughput, stale notes, and MOC coherence. It supports quick, full, and three-space modes and returns actionable FAIL/WARN/PASS reports.

Vault Stats shows vault statistics and knowledge graph metrics, including note counts, link density, orphans, schema compliance, and weekly growth. Use it to get a shareable snapshot of vault health, growth, and progress.

Verify Notes checks note descriptions via cold-read prediction, validates schema compliance, verifies wiki links, and confirms topic map integration. Use it as a quality gate after creating notes or as periodic maintenance.
