All tools now receive arguments as a JSON object on stdin instead of
positional CLI args. Each tool declares its schema via # args_json:
header comment.
New shared helpers:
- _lib/args.py: Python parse_args() -> Args with require/get/get_bool/etc
- _lib/args.sh: Bash arg_require/arg_get/arg_bool via jq
Removed denote_view (unused).
Updated WRITING_TOOLS.md to document the new contract.
All tools in ./tools/ now output a JSON schema when arguments fail
to parse, instead of raw usage strings. Formats handled:
- echo/print usage replacement
- dollar-brace-var-colon-? usage expansion to if-statements
- die() function replacement
- argparse ArgumentParser subclass with error() override
Deleted env (use shell instead) and grep (use file_grep instead).
Removed root-level /tools from 9P filesystem listing.
Migrate usage documentation from separate tools-*.md prompt files
into the tool scripts themselves via ollie:prompt...ollie:end blocks.
BuildRuntime automatically extracts and appends these to the preamble.
Migrated: file_read, file_write, file_edit, file_glob, file_grep,
lsp_definition, lsp_references, lsp_hover, lsp_rename, lsp_symbols,
lsp_diagnostics, lsp_completion, reasoning_think, memory_remember,
memory_recall.
Replace Makefile/mkfile with justfile (just command runner).
Move tools from kde/tools to root (uses physical paths, not 9P).
Add process_*, env, grep tools that were missing from submodules.
just: 9P path (default), just dbus: D-Bus path.
- prompts/, skills/, tools/ removed from monorepo root
- 9p/: gains prompts/skills/tools with 9P filesystem API (unchanged)
- kde/: gains prompts/skills/tools rewritten for D-Bus API
- mkfile: data target no longer installs prompts/skills/tools
- 9p/mkfile: install target now includes data (prompts/skills/tools)
- kde/Makefile: all target now includes data (prompts/skills/tools)
- SYSTEM_PROMPT_QWEN and SYSTEM_PROMPT_DEVSTRAL updated in both
submodules to include the operational world model
Backend now streams native thinking tokens via StreamEvent.Reasoning.
The no-op scratchpad tool is redundant.
