# Update Knowledge Base

## Purpose

Automatically analyze recent code changes and update the project's knowledge base documentation to reflect current architecture, features, and conventions.

## Instructions

1. **Analyze Recent Changes**
   - Review git diff or recent commits
   - Identify new adapters, commands, or features
   - Note architectural changes or new patterns

2. **Read Current Knowledge Base**
   - Check if KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md exists
   - If not, create it with proper structure
   - If exists, identify sections needing updates

3. **Update Sections**
   - **Architecture**: Update if new adapters or core components added
   - **Features**: Document new CLI commands or options
   - **Conventions**: Note any new coding patterns established
   - **API Changes**: Document breaking changes or deprecations

4. **Verify Accuracy**
   - Cross-reference with actual source code
   - Ensure examples are runnable
   - Check that all documented features exist

5. **Format Consistently**
   - Use consistent markdown formatting
   - Include code examples where helpful
   - Maintain table format for command references
