Moai Workflow Jit Docs

Quick Reference (30 seconds)

Purpose: Load relevant documentation on-demand based on user intent and context.

Primary Tools:

• WebSearch: Find latest documentation and resources online
• WebFetch: Retrieve specific documentation pages
• Context7 MCP: Access official library documentation (when available)
• Read, Grep, Glob: Search local project documentation

Trigger Patterns:

• User asks specific technical questions
• Technology keywords detected in conversation
• Domain expertise required for task completion
• Implementation guidance needed

Implementation Guide

Intent Detection

The system recognizes documentation needs through several patterns:

Question-Based Triggers:

• When users ask specific implementation questions (e.g., "how do I implement JWT authentication?")
• When users seek best practices or optimization guidance
• When troubleshooting questions arise

Technology-Specific Triggers:

• Detection of framework names: FastAPI, React, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes
• Detection of library names: pytest, TypeScript, GraphQL, Redis
• Detection of tool names: npm, pip, cargo, maven

Domain-Specific Triggers:

• Authentication and authorization topics
• Database and data modeling discussions
• Performance optimization inquiries
• Security-related questions

Pattern-Based Triggers:

• Implementation requests: "implement", "create", "build"
• Architecture discussions: "design", "structure", "pattern"
• Troubleshooting: "debug", "fix", "error", "not working"

Documentation Sources

The system retrieves documentation from multiple sources in priority order:

Local Project Documentation (Highest Priority):

• Check .moai/docs/ for project-specific documentation
• Check .moai/specs/ for requirements and specifications
• Check README.md for project overview
• Check docs/ directory for comprehensive documentation

Official Documentation Sources:

• Use WebFetch to retrieve official framework documentation
• Use Context7 MCP tools when available for library documentation
• Access technology-specific official websites

Community Resources:

• Use WebSearch to find high-quality tutorials
• Search for Stack Overflow solutions with high vote counts
• Find GitHub discussions for specific issues

Real-Time Web Research:

• Use WebSearch with current year for latest information
• Search for recent best practices and updates
• Find new features and deprecation notices

Loading Strategies

Intent Analysis Process:

• Identify technologies mentioned in user request
• Determine domain areas relevant to the question
• Classify question type (implementation, troubleshooting, conceptual)
• Assess complexity to determine documentation depth needed

Source Prioritization:

• If local documentation exists: Load project-specific docs first
• If official documentation available: Retrieve authoritative sources
• If implementation examples needed: Search community resources
• If latest information required: Perform web research

Context-Aware Caching:

• Cache retrieved documentation within session
• Maintain relevance based on current conversation context
• Remove outdated content when context shifts
• Prioritize frequently accessed documentation

Quality Assessment

Content Quality Evaluation:

• Authority: Official sources receive highest trust
• Recency: Content within 12 months preferred for fast-moving technologies
• Completeness: Documentation with examples ranked higher
• Relevance: Match between content and user intent

Relevance Ranking:

• Calculate match between documentation content and user question
• Weight authority (30%), recency (25%), completeness (25%), relevance (20%)
• Return highest-scoring documentation first
• Indicate confidence level in retrieved information

Practical Workflows

Authentication Implementation Workflow:

• When user asks about authentication: Detect technologies (e.g., FastAPI, JWT)
• Identify domains: authentication, security
• Load FastAPI security documentation via WebFetch
• Search for JWT best practices via WebSearch
• Provide comprehensive guidance with source attribution

Database Optimization Workflow:

• When user asks about query performance: Detect database technology
• Identify domain: performance, optimization
• Load official database documentation
• Search for optimization guides and tutorials
• Provide actionable recommendations with sources

New Technology Adoption Workflow:

• When user introduces unfamiliar technology: Detect technology name
• Load official getting started documentation
• Search for migration guides if applicable
• Find integration patterns with existing stack
• Provide strategic adoption guidance

Error Handling

Network Failures:

• If web search fails: Fall back to cached content
• If WebFetch fails: Use local documentation if available
• Indicate partial results when some sources unreachable

Content Quality Issues:

• If retrieved content seems outdated: Search for newer sources
• If relevance unclear: Ask user for clarification
• If conflicting information found: Present multiple sources with dates

Relevance Mismatches:

• If initial search yields poor results: Refine search query
• If user context unclear: Request clarification before loading
• If documentation gap exists: Acknowledge limitation

Performance Optimization

Caching Strategy:

• Maintain session-level cache for frequently accessed docs
• Keep project-specific documentation in memory
• Evict stale content based on access time

Efficient Loading:

• Load documentation only when explicitly needed
• Avoid preloading all possible documentation
• Use targeted searches rather than broad queries

Batch Processing:

• Combine related searches when possible
• Group documentation requests by technology
• Process multiple sources in parallel when appropriate

Advanced Patterns

Multi-Source Aggregation:

• Combine official documentation with community examples
• Cross-reference multiple authoritative sources
• Synthesize comprehensive answers from diverse materials

Context Persistence:

• Remember documentation loaded earlier in conversation
• Avoid redundant loading of same documentation
• Build cumulative knowledge through session

Proactive Loading:

• Anticipate documentation needs based on conversation flow
• Pre-load related topics when discussing complex features
• Suggest relevant documentation before user asks

Works Well With

Agents:

• workflow-docs: Documentation generation
• core-planner: Documentation planning
• workflow-spec: SPEC documentation

Skills:

• moai-docs-generation: Documentation generation
• moai-workflow-docs: Documentation validation
• moai-library-nextra: Nextra documentation

Commands:

• /moai:3-sync: Documentation synchronization
• /moai:9-feedback: Documentation improvements

Common Rationalizations

Red Flags

• Agent proceeds with implementation without loading any project documentation
• Cached document served when the source file was modified more recently
• Documentation loaded but not referenced in the implementation rationale
• Multiple redundant document loads in the same session (cache miss on repeated content)
• JIT loader returns zero results for a keyword that clearly maps to existing docs

Verification

• At least one document was loaded via JIT matching for non-trivial tasks
• Loaded documents are referenced in the agent's reasoning or output
• Cache hits validated against source file modification time
• No duplicate document loads in the same session (check load log)
• JIT trigger keywords match the user's stated intent
