What problem does it solve? Agents operating the AOPS CLI often guess flags, misuse caches as sources of truth, or skip required write guards, causing failed commands and unsafe destructive operations. This Skill provides a thin operator playbook that routes agents to the correct discovery ladders, guard patterns, and canonical sources. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Help-First Discovery: Enforces a decision chain from --help through compact tool catalogs (agent tools --summary) and schema inspection before any raw hosted invoke. - Guard Flag Discipline: Standardizes use of --preview, --apply, --confirm, --idempotency-key, --json, and --yes so writes and destructive actions are always explicitly gated. - Server-Canonical Routing: Clarifies that PM, memory, discuss, and experience authoring go through the hosted server, while .aops-cache/** directories are read-only mirrors refreshed by partitioned sync pull. - Project Registry & Archive Lifecycle: Covers multi-project linking via project link, scoped sync with --project-slug or --all-projects, and the guarded archive create/verify/delete/decommission-check flow. - Use Case: An agent needs to refresh one project's local cache and then archive its PM graph. It runs sync pull --project-slug aops --apply --json, then archive create, archive verify --apply, and only proceeds to archive delete --apply --confirm after verification passes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to use the aops-cli-core discipline to discover the right aops-cli command with --help and run it with the proper guard flags for your project slug.
