Distillation

Date: Sep 8, 2026

• 🟡 (20:04) User requested a medium-thorough, read-only exploration in /home/byk/Code/getsentry/cli-pr-1558 of how CLI usage headings and examples are generated from Stricli command definitions, focused on PR #1558’s agent-conversation list/view changes.
• 🟡 (20:04) User asked to identify every source of truth for customUsage, positional parameters, usage examples, ContextError hints, generated command docs, generated skill references, and skill index entries; determine the likely root cause that forced PR #1558 to patch generated Markdown/examples; return exact file paths and symbols; explain the data flow; and propose the smallest architectural fix that makes Stricli definitions the ground truth.
• 🔴 [enforced-read-only-workflow] (20:04) User directed that no files be edited and no mutating VCS commands be run during the exploration.
• 🟡 (20:04) Repository instruction files discovered: /home/byk/Code/getsentry/cli-pr-1558/AGENTS.md and /home/byk/Code/getsentry/cli-pr-1558/packages/cli/AGENTS.md.
• 🟡 (20:05) Project knowledge file discovered: /home/byk/Code/getsentry/cli-pr-1558/.lore.md.
• 🔴 (20:05) User directed: “Always load repo-setup before situation skills.”
• 🟡 (20:05) Root /home/byk/Code/getsentry/cli-pr-1558/AGENTS.md states that target repositories’ AGENTS.md / CONTRIBUTING.md must be read first; long-term project knowledge lives in .lore.md when present; skills live under .agents/skills/ and are generated from the canonical skills/ tree by scripts/sync-skills.mjs.
• 🟡 (20:05) Root AGENTS.md documents the pipeline as triage → explore → plan → implement → review → ship; worker is a deprecated alias of implement.
