Use when modifying logging, error handling, or diagnostic messages — logger setup, transports, error diagnosis patterns in src/logger.ts and src/errors.ts
Use when modifying the trusted host process — server orchestration, message routing, IPC handler, request lifecycle, event streaming, file handling, plugin loading, or agent delegation in src/host/
Use when modifying the sandboxed agent process — runner, IPC client, local/IPC tools, tool catalog, prompt building, or identity loading in src/agent/
Use when modifying agent sandbox isolation -- Docker, Apple Container (macOS), or k8s providers in src/providers/sandbox/
Use when modifying IPC protocol between host and agent — schemas, actions, length-prefix framing, or Zod validation in ipc-schemas.ts and ipc-server.ts
AX project architecture and coding skills - use sub-skills for specific subsystems (agent, host, cli, providers, etc.)

The CLI subsystem provides the user-facing command interface for AX. Entry point is src/cli/index.ts which routes commands via routeCommand(). Commands communicate with the AX server over a Unix socket using the OpenAI-compatible API. The chat command uses Ink (React-based terminal UI); send is a one-shot HTTP client. The provider command manages third-party npm provider packages.
Skills and MCP servers are not managed from the CLI anymore — they live in the agent's workspace (.ax/skills/<name>/SKILL.md) and go through the admin dashboard approval flow. The old ax plugin (Cowork plugins) and ax mcp commands have been removed.
