Your Task

When invoked with

/aiwg-kb "<topic>"

1. Interpret the user's query to understand what they need
2. Search relevant AIWG documentation
3. Provide clear, actionable answers with references

Topic Categories

Map user queries to documentation areas:

docs/troubleshooting/setup-issues.md

docs/troubleshooting/deployment-issues.md

Execution Steps

Step 1: Resolve AIWG Path

AIWG_PATH="${AIWG_ROOT:-$HOME/.local/share/ai-writing-guide}"

Step 2: Interpret Query

Parse the user's topic to identify:

• Primary subject (setup, deployment, platform, workflow, etc.)
• Specific issue if mentioned (error message, symptom)
• Platform context if relevant (Claude, Factory, Warp)

Step 3: Retrieve Documentation

Use Read tool to fetch relevant documentation based on topic mapping.

Priority order:

1. Troubleshooting docs (if issue/error/problem indicated)
2. Quickstart guides (if "how to" or getting started)
3. Framework README (if framework-specific)
4. Natural language guide (if command-related)

Step 4: Provide Answer

Format response as:

## {Topic}

{Concise answer to the query}

### Quick Fix

Natural Language Handling

Users may ask questions naturally. Map to topics:

Example Responses

Example 1: Setup Issue

User: /aiwg-kb "installation not working"

Response:
## Installation Issues

AIWG installation problems usually stem from PATH or permission issues.

### Quick Fix

```bash
# Reinstall AIWG
aiwg -reinstall

# Reload shell
source ~/.bash_aliases

If That Doesn't Work

1. Check installation exists:

   ls ~/.local/share/ai-writing-guide/

2. Verify alias:

   alias aiwg

3. Manual install if needed - see setup guide

- **Setup issues**: Installation, PATH, permissions
- **Deployment issues**: Agents not found, commands missing
- **Path issues**: Templates, directories, AIWG_ROOT
- **Platform issues**: Claude Code, Factory AI, Warp Terminal
- **Getting started**: Quickstart guides for SDLC or Marketing

Try: `/aiwg-kb "setup"` or `/aiwg-kb "quickstart"`

Or ask naturally: "How do I fix my AIWG install?"
