What Knowledge Priming does

Knowledge Priming loads project-specific context like tech stack, architecture, directory layout, trusted sources, and conventions before other skills run. Use it when a knowledge base exists or when asking what the project uses and how it is organized.

README

Excerpt

Knowledge Priming

Config Resolution

Look for .lattice/config.yaml in the repo root.
If found, check paths.knowledge_base for a custom document path.
If a document exists at that path, read the full document.
STOP: Apply the loaded document as ambient context before any design, implementation, or review work begins.
If a path is configured but no document exists at it → tell the user which configured path is missing, then see "When No Document Exists".
If there is no config file or no paths.knowledge_base key → see "When No Document Exists".

When No Document Exists
