AnchorMD Skill

You have access to AnchorMD, a project context system that gives you persistent, queryable knowledge about the project you are working on. Use it to understand the project, find relevant plans, and update context as you work.

Workflow

1. At session start: Run anchormd context to load the project overview and see all plans.
2. Before starting a task: Run anchormd find "<topic>" to find relevant plans. Results include deep links (e.g. plan#section) — use them directly with anchormd read.
3. Read details: Use anchormd read <plan> for full content, or anchormd read <plan>#<section> to jump to a specific section.
4. After implementing: Update plans with anchormd write <plan-name> to reflect what was built.
5. Track progress: Use anchormd ls --status in-progress to see active work items.

Command Reference

Command	Description
anchormd init	Initialize AnchorMD in current project. Use --no-qmd to disable search.
anchormd context	Print project overview (anchor.md) and plan summary table.
anchormd write <name>	Write a plan. Reads from --from <file>, piped stdin, or opens $EDITOR.
anchormd ls	List all plans. Filter with --status <status>. Use --json for structured output.
anchormd read <name>	Read a plan. Supports name#section deep links.
anchormd find <query>	Search plans. Use --semantic, --hybrid, --limit <n>, --json.
anchormd reindex	Rebuild the index graph and search database.
anchormd status	Show plan count, link count, weak edges, and QMD status.

Tips

• Use --json flag with ls and find for structured output you can parse programmatically.
• Plans link to each other with [[plan-name]] syntax. Use [[plan#section]] for deep links.
• The index graph tracks both explicit links and "weak edges" (plans that reference the same files, models, routes, or scripts).
• After writing or modifying plans, the index is automatically rebuilt. Run anchormd reindex manually if needed.
• Plan statuses: planned, in-progress, built, deprecated.
