Ck Help

[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI may ask user whether to skip.

Quick Summary

Goal: Provide ClaudeKit usage guidance by running the help script and presenting results based on output type.

Workflow:

1. Translate — Convert user arguments to English if needed
2. Execute — Run python .claude/scripts/ck-help.py "$ARGUMENTS"
3. Detect Type — Read @CK_OUTPUT_TYPE marker (comprehensive-docs, category-guide, command-details, search-results, task-recommendations)
4. Present — Show COMPLETE script output verbatim, then add practical context and examples

Key Rules:

• Never replace or summarize script output; always show it fully then enhance
• /plan then /code is the correct flow; NEVER suggest /plan then /cook
• /cook is standalone (has its own planning)

Think harder. All-in-one ClaudeKit guide. Run the script and present output based on type markers.

Pre-Processing

IMPORTANT: Always translate $ARGUMENTS to English before passing to script.

The Python script only understands English keywords. If $ARGUMENTS is in another language:

1. Translate $ARGUMENTS to English
2. Pass the translated English string to the script

Execution

python .claude/scripts/ck-help.py "$ARGUMENTS"

Output Type Detection

The script outputs a type marker on the first line: @CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:<type>

Read this marker and adjust your presentation accordingly:

@CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:comprehensive-docs

Full documentation (config, schema, setup guides).

Presentation:

1. Show the COMPLETE script output verbatim - every section, every code block
2. THEN ADD helpful context:
   • Real-world usage examples ("For example, if you're working on multiple projects...")
   • Common gotchas and tips ("Watch out for: ...")
   • Practical scenarios ("This is useful when...")
3. End with a specific follow-up question

Example enhancement after showing full output:

## Additional Tips

**When to use global vs local config:**
- Use global (~/.claude/.ck.json) for personal preferences like language, issue prefix style
- Use local (./.claude/.ck.json) for project-specific paths, naming conventions

**Common setup for teams:**
Each team member sets their locale globally, but projects share local config via git.

@CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:category-guide

Workflow guides for command categories (fix, plan, cook, etc.).

Presentation:

1. Show the complete workflow and command list
2. ADD practical context:
   • When to use this workflow vs alternatives
   • Real example: "If you encounter a bug in authentication, start with..."
   • Transition tips between commands
3. Offer to help with a specific task

@CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:command-details

Single command documentation.

Presentation:

1. Show full command info from script
2. ADD:
   • Concrete usage example with realistic input
   • When this command shines vs alternatives
   • Common flags or variations
3. Offer to run the command for them

@CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:search-results

Search matches for a keyword.

Presentation:

1. Show all matches from script
2. HELP user navigate:
   • Group by relevance if many results
   • Suggest most likely match based on context
   • Offer to explain any specific command
3. Ask what they're trying to accomplish

@CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:task-recommendations

Task-based command suggestions.

Presentation:

1. Show recommended commands from script
2. EXPLAIN the reasoning:
   • Why these commands fit the task
   • Suggested order of execution
   • What each step accomplishes
3. Offer to start with the first recommended command

Key Principle

Script output = foundation. Your additions = value-add.

Never replace or summarize the script output. Always show it fully, then enhance with your knowledge and context.

Important: Correct Workflows

• /plan → /code: Plan first, then execute the plan
• /cook: Standalone - plans internally, no separate /plan needed
• NEVER suggest /plan → /cook (cook has its own planning)

IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST FOLLOW)

• Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks
• Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
