Design patterns for local-first AI desktop apps — provider abstraction (Ollama / OpenAI-compatible gateways), RAG retrieval and ingestion hygiene, citation UX that loops back to sources, streaming and scoped cancellation, chat-loop details, and demo-corpus design. Use when building or reviewing a local AI app, a RAG/notebook product, chat UX, or preparing AI product demos. Distilled from Alchemy (a local NotebookLM clone).

Automate, inspect, and verify a running Tauri app with tauri-browser — DOM snapshots, ref-based clicks, React-safe fills, screenshots, direct Tauri command invokes, and demo-data seeding. Use when driving a Tauri app for testing, screenshots, demo setup, or end-to-end verification of app changes.

Manage Homebrew taps for distributing CLI tools and macOS apps. Use when creating or updating Homebrew formulas and casks.

Build, code-sign, notarize, and release Tauri 2 desktop apps on macOS (Rust backend + web frontend), including dev-loop gotchas (capabilities/ACL, watcher, cargo patches) and CI fallbacks. Use when working on a Tauri app's release pipeline, Apple signing/notarization, GitHub Actions for macOS builds, or debugging a Tauri dev loop. Distilled from shipping Alchemy (a local NotebookLM clone).

Rust development workflow with quality gates, testing, and iteration patterns. Use when developing Rust code, running tests, or iterating on Rust projects.

HCP Terraform (Terraform Cloud) workflow for remote plan and apply. Use when working with Terraform that runs in Terraform Cloud, not locally.

Makefile patterns for development workflows. Use when creating or understanding Makefiles for build automation, release workflows, and development iteration.

Modern Python development with uv package manager. Use when working on Python projects using uv, pytest, FastAPI, or Django. Covers development workflow, testing, and EC2 deployment.

Manage HCP Terraform resources using the hcptf command-line tool. Use when working with HCP Terraform, Terraform Cloud, Terraform Enterprise, workspaces, runs, organizations, stacks, registry modules/providers, or infrastructure automation tasks.

Upgrade Terraform, provider, module, and policy versions in HCP Terraform workspaces. Use when upgrading workspace Terraform version, updating provider versions for security patches or new features, upgrading modules or policy sets, or planning organization-wide version updates.

Analyze Terraform plan results before applying changes. Use when reviewing plans for safety, understanding impact, identifying risks, checking for unintended changes, or validating infrastructure modifications in HCP Terraform workspaces.

Analyze Terraform state files and provide improvement recommendations. Use when investigating state health, optimizing infrastructure, reviewing security posture, identifying cost savings, or auditing resource configurations in HCP Terraform workspaces.

Investigate and resolve infrastructure drift in HCP Terraform workspaces. Use when infrastructure has changed outside of Terraform, investigating drift detection alerts, deciding whether to update code or fix infrastructure, or resolving continuous validation check failures.

Set up a brand-new infrastructure project from scratch using HCP Terraform. Use when starting a new project from zero, creating workspaces with VCS integration, configuring variables and credentials, running first deployments, or onboarding a new team to HCP Terraform.

Investigate and resolve policy check failures in HCP Terraform. Use when runs are blocked by failed Sentinel or OPA policy checks, understanding why policies failed, deciding whether to fix code or override policies, or finding policy failures across the organization.

Refactor existing HCP Terraform workspace-based infrastructure into a Terraform Stack. Use when migrating workspaces to stacks for multi-environment orchestration, consolidating related workspaces into a single stack, or breaking monolithic workspaces into stack components with coordinated deployments.

R-DOS development process. Use when planning features, creating documentation, tracking work with beads, or understanding the documentation system.

UI components and rendering for R-DOS. Use when rendering modals, dialogs, lists, or any UI. CRITICAL - explains ModalFrame vs FullScreenView to prevent panics.

Release a new version of QDOS. Use when the user wants to ship, release, publish, or tag a new version. Handles version bumping, quality checks, tagging, pushing, and homebrew tap updates.

Plugin development for R-DOS. Use when creating new plugins, implementing Plugin trait, handling keys, or structuring plugin code. Reference spec/PLUGIN.md for complete specification.

Help text, error messages, and strings for R-DOS. Use when writing user-facing text, help content, error messages, or modal labels. Reference spec/help.txt and spec/strings/ for authentic Q-DOS II phrasing.

Rust best practices and overall approach for R-DOS development. Use when writing Rust code, implementing features, handling errors, or structuring code in the R-DOS codebase.

Add or extend a cider CLI source module. Use when adding a new Apple app/data source, a new subcommand, or new read/write behavior that must be wired through src/main.rs, src/sources/mod.rs, tests, and docs.

Preserve cider's CLI output contract. Use when changing JSON fields, pretty rendering, schema output, dry-run behavior, envelopes, pagination, or write-result shapes.

Maintain cider's release flow. Use when bumping versions, updating Cargo metadata, changing GitHub Actions release automation, or touching the Homebrew/crates.io publishing path.

Manage macOS Apple apps using the cider command-line tool. Use when reading or changing Reminders, Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Mail, Messages, Music, Safari, Keychain, screenshots, system settings, or other Apple app data from the command line.

Multi-repo orchestration for AI agent workflows. Aggregate beads across repositories, manage contexts, and coordinate distributed work across microservices and polyrepo architectures.

AllBeads development process. Use when planning features, creating documentation, tracking work with beads, or understanding the documentation system.

Release a new version of AllBeads. Use when the user wants to ship, release, publish, or tag a new version. Handles version bumping, quality checks, tagging, pushing, and homebrew tap updates.

Execute commands in isolated sandboxes for security. Use when running untrusted code, system commands, or operations that could affect the host system. Automatically detects the right runtime (Python, Node, Rust, Go, Ruby, etc.) from the command.

Use when the user mentions Alchemy, their research notebooks, or wants sources (URLs, files, pasted text) collected, searched, or written up in a local notebook. Alchemy is their local-first research notebook app; its MCP server exposes notebooks, sources, notes, and hybrid search.

Automate and inspect Tauri apps via CLI. Ref-based element targeting, DOM snapshots, screenshots, JS execution, Tauri command invocation, and log streaming. Output designed for LLM consumption.
