GRACE-lite

Answer a question about the current GRACE-lite project.

Process

Step 1: Load Project Context

Read the following files (skip any that don't exist):

1. AGENTS.md — project principles and conventions
2. docs/knowledge-graph.xml — module map, dependencies, exports

Step 2: Identify Relevant Modules

Based on the question, find the most relevant modules:

1. Use the knowledge graph to locate modules related to the question
2. Follow CrossLinks to find connected modules
3. Read MODULE_CONTRACTs of relevant modules for detailed context
4. Read matching verification entries when the question is about behavior, failure modes, or testing

Step 3: Dive Into Code If Needed

If the question is about specific behavior or implementation:

1. Use MODULE_MAP to locate relevant functions/blocks
2. Read the specific START_BLOCK/END_BLOCK sections
3. Read function CONTRACTs for intent vs implementation details
4. Read nearby tests or log-marker assertions when they are the strongest evidence for expected behavior

Step 4: Answer

Provide a clear, concise answer grounded in the actual project artifacts. Always cite which files/modules/blocks your answer is based on.

Important

• Never guess — if the information isn't in the project artifacts, say so
• If the question reveals a gap in documentation or contracts, mention it
• If the question reveals a gap in tests, traces, or verification docs, mention it
