Operational route

Brownfield learn

Map an existing repo, preserve durable project knowledge, and give later specialists the right context before edits begin.

Context assemblyroute_context_management

/guild:init --learn

Route comparison

Same job. A visible operating record.

Without a route record

Agents often read broadly, miss prior decisions, and repeat the same discovery work in the next session.

With Guild Stack

Guild Stack runs Init learning, keeps canonical knowledge in .guild/wiki/, and feeds relevant recall into later planning and build lanes.

Route stops

01
Classify the project
Init detects whether the repo needs greenfield setup, brownfield learn, or later repair work.
02
Map before planning
The first pass can create a structural map before deeper graph or onboarding work is requested.
03
Keep canon in files
Graphs and indexes are rebuildable projections; durable knowledge stays in .guild/wiki/.
04
Recall into lanes
Future specialists receive relevant wiki and graph context inside bounded context bundles.
