Ki Repo Project

Explains the Project repository baseline for a non-Knowledge-Base Knowledge Islands repository and its composable ki-repo-* structures. Primary-kind declaration and mutual exclusion belong to ki-repo; forward-work adapter selection belongs to ki-work. Use when orienting a Project migration or its relationship to a specialised repository structure. For KBs use ki-repo-kb; for tracker choice use ki-work.

KI Project repository

ki-repo-project describes the common baseline for a non-Knowledge-Base KI repository. ki-repo is the sole owner of primary-kind declaration and Project/KB mutual exclusion; specialised ki-repo-* standards compose with that baseline but do not replace it. A Knowledge Base instead uses the ki-repo-kb structure contract.

Read the Project repository standard when declaring or changing primary structure. Read the generated rubric for the checkable configuration boundary and the sources when refreshing it.

Operating modes

Carries the universal AUDIT · CONFORM · EDUCATE · REFRESH modes. help / -h / ? explains the distinction and stops.

Mode AUDIT

Run ki repo audit --skill ki-repo --repo <repo> for the declared primary kind, then ki repo audit --skill ki-work --repo <repo> for the selected forward-work adapter. This skill adds no duplicate primary-kind audit.

Mode CONFORM

Run the owner audits in AUDIT first. This skill proposes no primary declaration, adapter selection, or migration mutation; those remain owner- and user-authority-bound.

Mode EDUCATE

Explain Project as the default primary structure, the ki-repo-* extensions it may compose, and the separate selection of a change-management adapter. Do not infer that a repository is a KB from one incidental directory.

Mode REFRESH

Precondition: REFRESH writes only this canonical skill in ki-agentic-harness. From an installed copy, stop and redirect to the Harness. Revisit the standard when a new primary structure, inheritance rule, or mutually exclusive repository classification is introduced.
