@-Mention Wiring

Analyze codebase relationships and inject @-mentions for traceability.

Research Foundation

REF-001: BP-9 - Traceability from requirements to code to tests
Claude Code 2.0.43: @-mention fixes for reliable nested loading

Usage

/mention-wire                           # Analyze current directory
/mention-wire --dry-run                 # Show what would be added
/mention-wire --interactive             # Approve each mention
/mention-wire --auto                    # Apply high-confidence mentions
/mention-wire --confidence 90           # Set confidence threshold

Options

Option	Default	Description
--target	.	Directory to analyze
--dry-run	false	Show proposed changes without applying
--interactive	false	Prompt for approval per file
--auto	false	Apply mentions above confidence threshold
--confidence	80	Minimum confidence % for auto mode

Process

1. Scan Directory

Identify files and their types:

Source code (.ts, .js, .py, .go, etc.)
Test files (*.test.*, *.spec.*, test_*)
SDLC artifacts (.aiwg/**/*.md)
Documentation (docs/**/*.md)

2. Analyze Relationships

Detect relationships using heuristics:

Pattern	Inferred @-mention	Confidence
File in `src/auth/`	`@.aiwg/requirements/UC--auth.md`	85%
File named `test.ts`	`@$AIWG_ROOT/src/{corresponding-source}.ts`	92%
Comment `// UC-001`	`@.aiwg/requirements/UC-001.md`	95%
Comment `// ADR-005`	`@.aiwg/architecture/adrs/ADR-005*.md`	90%
JSDoc `@implements`	Parse and validate	98%
Import statement	`@{imported-file}`	88%

3. Generate Suggestions

Output format:

src/services/auth/login.ts (confidence: 85%)
  + @.aiwg/requirements/UC-003-user-auth.md (name match)
  + @.aiwg/architecture/adrs/ADR-005-jwt-strategy.md (comment: "JWT")

test/integration/auth.test.ts (confidence: 92%)
  + @$AIWG_ROOT/src/services/auth/login.ts (test-to-source)
  + @.aiwg/requirements/UC-003-user-auth.md (inherited from source)

4. Apply Changes

Depending on mode:

--dry-run: Display only
--interactive: Prompt per file
--auto: Apply above threshold

Placement Rules

 * @implements @.aiwg/requirements/UC-003-user-auth.md
 * @architecture @.aiwg/architecture/adrs/ADR-005-jwt-strategy.md
 * @security @.aiwg/security/controls/authn-001.md
 * @tests @test/integration/auth.test.ts
