/knowledge

Answer questions using the solopreneur knowledge base. Loads the site index via llms.txt, finds relevant pages, fetches and synthesizes answers.

Source: rustman.org/llms.txt — full index of all published content.

How It Works

The knowledge base is a static site (rustman.org) with 60+ pages organized as:

• Posts — pillar articles (manifesto, STREAM framework, harness engineering, agent memory, context graphs, launch playbook)
• Wiki — compiled knowledge pages (concepts, summaries, catalogs)
• Projects — build-in-public case studies
• Skills — solo-factory executable skills documentation
• Stacks — technology stack templates

All content indexed in llms.txt — a machine-readable map with titles, URLs, and descriptions.

Steps

1. Load index — fetch https://rustman.org/llms.txt via WebFetch (or read from references/llms-snapshot.txt if offline)

2. Parse question from $ARGUMENTS:

   • If empty: show available topics from the index
   • If topic: find matching pages by keyword in titles/descriptions

3. Fetch relevant pages — for each match (max 3), fetch the full page:

   WebFetch https://rustman.org/wiki/{slug}
   

   Or read locally if in solopreneur repo:

   Read wiki/{slug}.md
   

4. Synthesize answer — combine information from fetched pages:

   • Answer the question directly
   • Cite sources with links
   • Note related pages for deeper reading
   • If the answer contradicts or extends existing knowledge, note that

5. Suggest follow-up — based on wikilinks in the fetched pages, suggest related topics.

Usage Examples

/knowledge "how does harness engineering work?"
→ Fetches harness-engineering post + wiki summary, synthesizes key concepts

/knowledge "what's our approach to agent memory?"
→ Fetches agent-memory-architecture post + mempalace page, compares approaches

/knowledge "what stacks do we support?"
→ Lists all 9 stack templates with tech details

/knowledge "how to validate a startup idea?"
→ Fetches launch-playbook + SEED scoring + validation hub

Offline Mode

If WebFetch is unavailable, the skill falls back to:

1. Local wiki files: Grep "topic" wiki/ + Read wiki/{match}.md
2. Snapshot in references/llms-snapshot.txt
