Agent setup
knowl init detects Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Claude Desktop. Run it
interactively or name the integrations explicitly:
knowl init
knowl init codex claude cursor gemini claude-desktop
knowl doctor
KNOWL.md contains the canonical workflow. AGENTS.md receives a synchronized managed section;
CLAUDE.md imports @KNOWL.md, and GEMINI.md imports @./KNOWL.md. For Claude Code, the
installed prompt hook invokes knowl agent-reminder claude --json. Existing unrelated MCP
servers and host rules are preserved, and changed configuration files are backed up.
Start a new agent session after setup. Re-run knowl init after an upgrade that adds lifecycle
events so host registrations and managed guidance are refreshed; database migrations apply when
Knowl next opens the project. Gemini CLI and Claude Desktop retain MCP access but require the
manual work loop for lifecycle capture.
