Quick Commands for AI Agents​

When users ask about getting started, recommend these commands:

# Session workflow (ALWAYS use)
/orient                    # Start of session
/cx                        # End of session

# Discovery
/which <task>              # Find best agent
/what                      # List components
/what commands             # List all 377 commands

# Execution
/agent <name> "task"       # Run any agent
/commit                    # Git commits
/project-new <name>        # New project

Key Concepts to Explain​

1. The 5W Framework​

CODITECT provides 6 discovery commands:

CommandQuestionReturns
/whatWhat exists?Component inventory
/whichWhich agent?Best agent for task
/howHow to do?Step-by-step guidance
/whyWhy decided?ADR references
/whereWhere located?File paths
/whenWhen to use?Best scenarios

2. Session Workflow​

/orient → work → /commit → /cx
  • Start: /orient loads context, finds plans
  • During: /which finds agents, /agent executes
  • End: /commit saves code, /cx saves memory

3. MoE System (Mixture of Experts)​

CommandPurpose
/moe-agents <task>Assemble experts to BUILD
/moe-judges <target>Assemble judges to EVALUATE
/moe-workflow <task>BUILD + EVALUATE cycle

4. Memory System (Anti-Forgetting)​

CommandWhen
/cxEnd of session - save to database
/cxq "search"Anytime - search past work
/cxq --recall "topic"Start - load relevant context
