kade-hq

name	kade-hq
description	Use when the user wants the KADE System itself, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 context loading, KADE session structure, HUMAN.md and kade/ overlays, or project initialization and handoff workflows. This packet-owned wrapper is installable into ~/.agents/skills, ~/.codex/skills, and ~/.claude/skills.

kade-hq

This is the packet-owned launcher wrapper for kade-hq.

g-kade is the bridge skill that coordinates kade-hq plus gstack. Use kade-hq when the task is specifically about KADE context, profiles, overlays, or session flow.

Startup

1. Read repo-local instructions first.
2. Detect whether a richer external kade-hq or kade-headquarters skill is installed.

A richer install is one that contains runtime or companion content beyond this wrapper, for example templates/, references/, scripts/, HUMAN.md, or multiple sibling support folders.

Check these locations in order:

• ~/.codex/skills/kade-hq
• ~/.claude/skills/kade-hq
• ~/.agents/skills/kade-hq
• ~/.codex/skills/kade-headquarters
• ~/.claude/skills/kade-headquarters
• ~/.agents/skills/kade-headquarters
• repo-local .codex/skills/kade-hq
• repo-local .claude/skills/kade-hq
• repo-local .agents/skills/kade-hq
• repo-local .codex/skills/kade-headquarters
• repo-local .claude/skills/kade-headquarters
• repo-local .agents/skills/kade-headquarters

If you find a richer install, read the upstream SKILL.md there and use it.

If you do not find one, continue with this wrapper.

Packet Integration

• Treat ~/.kade/HUMAN.md as Layer 1 when present.
• Treat kade/AGENTS.md and kade/KADE.md as the project-local KADE overlay.
• Treat the root packet files and .llm-wiki/config.json as the workspace contract for search, memory, and MCP wiring.
• Treat g-kade as the unifier surface and gstack as the execution-workflow surface.

Install Flow

When bootstrapping a repo workspace, prefer:

• python installers/install_g_kade_workspace.py --workspace <repo-root>
• powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\installers\install_g_kade_workspace.ps1 --workspace <repo-root>
• bash ./installers/install_g_kade_workspace.sh --workspace <repo-root>

This flow should leave these KADE surfaces in place:

• ~/.kade/HUMAN.md
• kade/AGENTS.md
• kade/KADE.md
• repo-local kade-hq, gstack, and g-kade skill surfaces

Constraints

• Do not treat g-kade as a replacement for kade-hq; it is only the bridge skill.
• Preserve a real existing ~/.kade/HUMAN.md; only seed or replace the exact legacy stub.
• Report whether you used this wrapper or a richer external kade-hq install.
