Guide Loader
Load development guides into context when needed. Delegates to the dev-guides-navigator plugin for online guide discovery.
Activation
Activate when:
- Designing or implementing features that match guide topics
- User requests a specific guide
- Invoked by other skills (guide-integrator, task-context-loader)
- "Load the ECA guide" or "What does my guide say about..."
Workflow
1. Check for Local Guides Path (Legacy)
Read {project_path}/project_state.md and look for **Guides Path:** {path}.
If found and specific guide requested by filename, read it directly. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
2. Delegate to Navigator
Invoke the dev-guides-navigator skill with the task keywords. The navigator handles:
- Hash-based caching of
llms.txt (no redundant fetches)
- Topic matching with KG metadata disambiguation
- Routing to the correct guide via topic
index.md
- Fetching the specific guide content
3. Integrate with Current Work
Based on guide content returned by the navigator, suggest:
Apply to current task:
- {Specific recommendation from guide}
- {Pattern to follow}
- {Thing to avoid}
Add these to architecture/implementation? (yes/no)
Stop Points
STOP and wait for user:
- If requested guide not found locally or via navigator
- After presenting guide content (ask if need more)
