Use when the user is working with KurrentDB, from writing application code against the client SDKs to operating the self-hosted server or running on Kurrent Cloud.

Use when installing, configuring, or operating the kcap CLI, aka the Kurrent Capacitor CLI / Capacitor CLI (npm @kurrent/kcap), which records Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor sessions to a Capacitor server. Covers install/setup/login, profiles, where its config and on-disk state live, importing and remapping past sessions, recap/eval/errors on a recorded session, visibility and privacy (hide, disable, ignoring or excluding repos and directory trees from recording), the daemon and hosted agents, MCP sessions/review and PR review, and plugin hooks.

Use when migrating an app onto the KurrentDB gRPC client from a legacy EventStoreDB client. Covers both the TCP rewrite and gRPC rebrand paths, plus the esdb to kurrentdb connection-string switch. NOT for code already on the KurrentDB client (use kurrent-docs) or server upgrades.

Use when inventorying an application's KurrentDB or EventStoreDB client surface before a migration or audit. NOT for server or cluster state (use kurrentdb-server-detection).

Use when working on, updating, or reviewing code that instantiates or configures a KurrentDB gRPC client across the supported SDKs. Covers connection-string parameters, single-node versus gossip discovery for clusters, node preference for read and write splits, HTTP/2 keepalive for long-lived connections behind NAT or load balancers, default deadlines, serverless client reuse, and triage of connection-related failures like discovery timeouts, deadline exceeded, keep-alive resets, and TLS verification errors. Do NOT use for authentication mechanics, certificate provisioning on the server, EventStoreDB to KurrentDB migration, or server-side cluster sizing.

Use when inventorying a deployed KurrentDB or EventStoreDB server for its version, cluster topology, license status, and deployment method by reading runtime endpoints, deployment manifests, and on-disk version banners. NOT for client SDK state (use kurrentdb-client-detection), Kurrent Cloud projects, or migration execution.
