Execution Steps

Step 1: Resolve AIWG Path

AIWG_PATH="${AIWG_ROOT:-$HOME/.local/share/ai-writing-guide}"

Step 2: Interpret Query

Parse the user's topic to identify:

• Primary subject (setup, deployment, platform, workflow, etc.)
• Specific issue if mentioned (error message, symptom)
• Platform context if relevant (Claude, Factory, Warp)

Step 3: Retrieve Documentation

Use Read tool to fetch relevant documentation based on topic mapping.

Priority order:

1. Troubleshooting docs (if issue/error/problem indicated)
2. Quickstart guides (if "how to" or getting started)
3. Framework README (if framework-specific)
4. Natural language guide (if command-related)

Step 4: Provide Answer

Format response as:

## {Topic}

{Concise answer to the query}

### Quick Fix

Natural Language Handling

Users may ask questions naturally. Map to topics:

User Says	Topic
"How do I fix my AIWG install?"	setup issues
"Why can't Claude find my agents?"	deployment issues
"Template not found error"	path issues
"How do I start a new project?"	quickstart
"What commands can I use?"	natural language
"Factory droids not working"	platform issues (factory)
"Help with AIWG"	troubleshooting index

Example Responses

Example 1: Setup Issue

User: /aiwg-kb "installation not working"

Response:
## Installation Issues

AIWG installation problems usually stem from PATH or permission issues.

### Quick Fix

```bash
# Reinstall AIWG
aiwg -reinstall

# Reload shell
source ~/.bash_aliases

If That Doesn't Work

1. Check installation exists: ls ~/.local/share/ai-writing-guide/
2. Verify alias: alias aiwg
3. Manual install if needed - see setup guide

- **Deployment issues**: Agents not found, commands missing
- **Path issues**: Templates, directories, AIWG_ROOT
- **Platform issues**: Claude Code, Factory AI, Warp Terminal
- **Getting started**: Quickstart guides for SDLC or Marketing

Try: `/aiwg-kb "setup"` or `/aiwg-kb "quickstart"`
