Build the project and verify it compiles cleanly. Use after making changes to confirm nothing is broken before running tests. Reads the build command from context/build.md.
Auto-configure .github/copilot-instructions.md and context/ knowledge docs for a new project. Use when setting up Brain Bootstrap in a new repository. Discovers the codebase, fills in templates, and writes project-specific configuration.
Save session state before context gets full or before ending. Writes current task state, branch, and loaded docs to context/tasks/todo.md so the next session can resume cleanly.
Clean workspace — build artifacts, dependencies, caches, Docker volumes, or temp files. Accepts arguments like build, deps, all, cache, docker, tasks, reinstall.
Load all relevant context/ knowledge files for a domain area. Use at session start or when switching to a new topic. Accepts a domain keyword like api, database, auth, build, security.
Query the database — list schemas, tables, describe a table, or run SQL. Accepts arguments like schemas, tables, describe <table>, or raw SQL.

Create and maintain a persistent, queryable memory of the codebase structure — so you don't have to re-read the same files every session.
