Nested shell-manual reference for Aider CLI. Read this when you need to run, validate, or document `aider` as a long-running shell subprocess or LingTai daemon harness candidate.

Read-only health diagnostics for LingTai agents and bots. Use when an agent appears offline or unreachable, when a machine migration may have left stale MCP/addon command paths, when heartbeat/status/process/notification/log surfaces disagree, or before deciding whether to mail, refresh, CPR, or edit persistent configuration. Includes a bundled doctor.py script for layered local checks without exposing secrets.
Complete catalogue of environment variables consumed by the LingTai kernel, wrapper, bundled MCPs, adapters, tests, and daemon composition surfaces.
Second-layer router for LingTai's progressive-disclosure operating manuals. Read this when resident substrate/procedures are too compact and you need the right lower reference. Route here for the expanded substrate/runtime model, lifecycle and `system` tool actions, the init.json composition and preset runtime model route, action/procedure discipline and skill routing, tool-result summarization, SQLite/`log.sqlite` trace inspection and trajectory mining, runtime/kernel update checks and nudges, environment variables, goal notifications, molt/memory questions, MCP/addon ownership, collaboration topology, and resident prompt design. The nested catalog below names each reference and its exact trigger.
Mandatory repository-local development guide for LingTai's Python kernel and runtime. Use this before changing code, architecture documents, tests, packaging, capabilities, adapters, or developer documentation in lingtai-kernel. Routes each task through the exact baseline, the distributed ANATOMY/CONTRACT systems, focused validation, and pull-request safety gates.
Operational guide for LingTai's built-in file tools: read, write, edit, glob, and grep. Use when working with local text files, deciding whether to use file tools versus bash, handling large files, avoiding binary/image misuse, or reading non-UTF-8 text via explicit bash/Python/iconv instead of complicating the core read tool. Covers UTF-8 policy, safe write/edit discipline, search workflows, and examples for GBK/Shift-JIS/Latin-1 conversion.
Router for LingTai's distributed code navigation system. Use this before navigating, creating, or maintaining kernel ANATOMY.md files. The normative anatomy-of-anatomy now lives at the repository-root ANATOMY.md; this skill explains how an agent enters and descends that graph, how it pairs with the distributed CONTRACT.md interface-definition graph, and what to do when code and navigation disagree.

Nested shell-manual reference. Read shell-manual ## Coding-CLI harness baseline first — it owns the shared run---help-before-you-rely rule, the
CLI-vs-daemon choice, the candidate-harness promotion criteria, and the generic
validation checklist. This page adds only what is specific to this CLI.
Candidate harness. Official scripting docs support --message; it is strong for one-shot code edits but resume semantics differ from daemon ask.
