Display CLI tools and capabilities:

## Built-in Tools

### TLDR Code Analysis
Token-efficient code exploration (95% savings vs reading raw files).

```bash
tldr tree src/              # File tree
tldr structure src/ --lang python  # Code structure (codemaps)
tldr search "pattern" src/  # Search files
tldr cfg file.py func       # Control flow graph
tldr dfg file.py func       # Data flow graph
tldr impact func src/       # Reverse call graph (who calls this?)
tldr dead src/              # Find dead code
tldr arch src/              # Detect architectural layers

/prove - Formal Verification

Machine-verified proofs without learning Lean syntax.

/prove every group homomorphism preserves identity
/prove continuous functions on compact sets are uniformly continuous

Requires: LM Studio running Godel-Prover model locally.

Memory System

Store and recall learnings across sessions.

# Recall past learnings
(cd opc && uv run python scripts/core/recall_learnings.py --query "hook patterns")

# Store new learning (via /remember skill)
/remember "Hook X works by..."

Premortem Risk Analysis

Identify failure modes before they occur.

/premortem [plan-file]     # Analyze implementation plan for risks

### /help hooks

Display active hooks:

```markdown

### Skill Frontmatter
Skills use YAML frontmatter for metadata and tool restrictions:

```yaml
---
name: my-skill
description: What it does
triggers: ["keyword1", "keyword2"]
allowed-tools: [Bash, Read, Edit]
priority: high
skills: [other-skill]  # Auto-load dependencies
---

Agent Frontmatter

Agents declare their capabilities:

---
name: my-agent
description: Specialist for X
model: sonnet|haiku|claude-opus-4-5-20251101
tools: [Read, Grep, Glob, Bash]
---

MCP Servers

Rules (.claude/rules/*.md)

Always-on instructions injected into context:

• claim-verification.md - Verify before asserting
• dynamic-recall.md - How to use memory system
• tldr-cli.md - TLDR usage reference

Creating Custom Skills

mkdir -p .claude/skills/my-skill
# Create .claude/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md with frontmatter

Creating Custom Agents

# Create .claude/agents/my-agent.md with frontmatter

### /help <specific-name>

For specific skill/agent lookup:

1. Search for matching skill: `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`
2. Search for matching agent: `.claude/agents/<name>.md`
3. Read the file and display:
   - Description
   - Usage examples
   - When to use
   - Related skills/agents

## Dynamic Discovery

To keep help current, dynamically read frontmatter:

```bash
# List all skills with descriptions
for f in .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md; do
  head -10 "$f" | grep -E "^(name|description):"
done

# List all agents
for f in .claude/agents/*.md; do
  head -10 "$f" | grep -E "^(name|description):"
done

Example Interaction

User: /help

Claude:

What are you trying to do?

[ ] Explore/understand a codebase
    Find patterns, architecture, conventions

[ ] Fix a bug
    Investigate, diagnose, implement fix

[ ] Build a feature
    Plan, implement, test new functionality

[ ] Prove something mathematically
    Formal verification with Lean 4

[Other: describe your goal]

User selects: "Fix a bug"

Claude:

## Bug Fixing Tools

### Quick Path
Just describe the bug. I'll use the /fix workflow automatically.

### Manual Control
- **sleuth** agent: Deep investigation, root cause analysis
- **debug-agent**: Log analysis, state inspection
- **kraken** agent: TDD implementation of fix

### Commands
- `/fix` - Full workflow (investigate → diagnose → implement → test)
- `/debug` - Investigation only

### Tips
- Provide error messages, logs, reproduction steps
- The premortem hook will suggest risk analysis before implementation
