Using Lore

Everything you can say after /lore - there is no argument grammar to learn.

Steer Lore in plain English. These are the core invocations:

SayGet
(just Enter)Guided setup, then the full pipeline.
mine this projectMine this repo's history.
across my projects in ~/codeCross-project mining: portable vs project-specific skills.
last 30 days, just show candidatesDry run: evidence dossiers only, no forging.
about supabase / only my judgment skillsNarrow by topic, or by channel (themes vs runbooks).
statusWhat Lore has done: corpus, themes, forged skills, drift.
what skills do I have?Inventory of every installed skill and what it does.
show me the last planRecall a canceled forge plan and resume.
forge them allBatch forge after one confirmation.
reset my loreStart fresh (asks first; forged skills stay installed).

What Lore finds

Lore's unit is the beat: your prompt (the intent), everything the agent did until your next prompt (the method - real executed commands, files, exit codes), and your reply as a free outcome label (approval or correction).

  • Corroborated workflows - you asked for X and the agent did Y, repeatedly, and it worked. The strongest candidates for runbook-style skills.
  • Latent expertise - thematic mining reads your conversational beats (reviews, decisions, corrections) and surfaces practices you operate without naming: how you review, how you diagnose, how you direct a model.
  • Team practices - in shared repos, committed histories are attributed per author; a workflow several people share is proposed as a project-scoped skill for the whole team.

Keeping skills current

Lore's registry remembers what it forged and what you declined:

  • Re-runs never re-propose what you declined unless the evidence grows materially.
  • When a forged skill's underlying evidence grows (new sessions, new failure modes), Lore proposes an update to the existing skill rather than a duplicate.
  • what skills do I have? shows every installed skill - Lore-forged ones with their evidence health, plus everything else on your machine.
