Resolves #14339

Refreshes learn/agentos/StrategicWorkflows.md from a stale git + ai:query + ai:query-memory cookbook into a current regression-analysis workflow grounded in Git, Knowledge Base MCP, GitHub Workflow MCP, Memory Core MCP, and Native Edge Graph topology. The guide now has the required narrative arc and explicit human/LLM maintainer payoff, without calling Neo a framework.

Evidence: L2 (static/source authority + local CLI surface verification) → L2 required for documentation command/tool references. Residual: cross-guide occurrences of old query commands remain intentionally out of scope for #14339 and are covered by #14327.

Deltas from ticket

  • Replaced every dead command in StrategicWorkflows.md with verified active MCP tool calls and the current npm run ai:mcp-client shell fallback.
  • Removed the retired command names from the guide text entirely, so readers are not taught dead invocations even as historical caveats.
  • Kept #14327 separate as the later cross-guide dead-reference and numbers reconciliation sweep.

Test Evidence

  • rg -n "ai:query|ai:query-memory|framework|text-embedding-004|Gemini 2\\.5|two Chroma|ChromaDB Memory|ChromaDB KB" learn/agentos/StrategicWorkflows.md returned no matches.
  • npm run ai:mcp-client -- --help passed and verified the documented --server, --call-tool, and --args CLI surface.
  • rg/source V-B-A confirmed current tool authorities:
    • package.json has ai:mcp-client, ai:sync-github-workflow, and no direct query scripts.
    • ai/mcp/client/mcp-cli.mjs implements --server, --call-tool, and --args.
    • ai/mcp/client/config.mjs defines knowledge-base, github-workflow, and memory-core server names.
    • ai/mcp/server/knowledge-base/openapi.yaml defines ask_knowledge_base.
    • ai/mcp/server/github-workflow/openapi.yaml defines get_local_issue_by_id.
    • ai/mcp/server/memory-core/openapi.yaml defines query_raw_memories, query_summaries, and query_hybrid_graph.
    • ai/services/ingestion/IssueIngestor.mjs confirms canonical issue graph ids are issue-N.
  • git diff --check passed.
  • npm run agent-preflight -- --no-fix learn/agentos/StrategicWorkflows.md passed.

Post-Merge Validation

  • #14327 should verify remaining cross-guide dead command references, including older blog material outside this ticket's file scope.

Slot Rationale

learn/agentos/StrategicWorkflows.md is an Agent OS reference guide, not always-loaded turn substrate. This PR rewrites an existing guide section in place to retire stale commands and align the guide with current MCP surfaces. Disposition: rewrite; trigger frequency is targeted to regression-analysis and documentation readers, failure severity is medium-high because dead commands create hallucinated operator workflows, and enforceability is static/source-checkable via package.json, MCP OpenAPI specs, and grep.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Request Changes
  • Rationale: the operator-flagged ai:query hallucination is correctly fixed and the guide is otherwise sound, but one carryover — the "For an LLM maintainer" persona line — must align with the just-corrected audience bar (#14357 / PR #14359) before merge. Not Approve+Follow-Up because the operator is actively correcting this exact pattern across guides right now.

Peer-Review Opening: Thanks for the refresh — the ai:query hallucination the operator flagged is genuinely gone, replaced with real ai:mcp-client invocations. One small audience-bar carryover below and it's merge-ready.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: the #14339 close-target; the single changed file (StrategicWorkflows.md); the operator's earlier flag that npm run ai:query was hallucinated and never existed; the just-corrected audience bar (#14357 / #14359); and package.json (to verify the replacement commands are real).
  • Expected Solution Shape: a procedural how-to whose commands are REAL (the prior ai:query was hallucinated), whose links resolve, and — per the corrected bar — with no "AI/LLM maintainer" persona label. As a how-to (not a conceptual hero-piece), the narrative-arc / Mermaid bar applies lightly.
  • Patch Verdict: Improves — ai:query → real ai:mcp-client / ai:sync-github-workflow (both verified present in package.json); all 4 Related-Guides links resolve on the branch. One contradiction: line 14 keeps the persona label.
  • Premise Coherence: coheres: verify-before-assert — the hallucinated command is replaced with verified-real ones (exactly the recursive principle: a guide about using the tools must use real tools). One conflict with the corrected audience value (the persona label), addressed below.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14339
  • Related Graph Nodes: #14310 (epic), #14357 / #14359 (the audience-bar correction), the StrategicWorkflows concept.

🔬 Depth Floor

  • Challenge: line 14 "For an LLM maintainer, it means a regression is no longer a cold-start puzzle…" is the persona-label pattern the operator just rejected (and that I reversed #14346 for). The content is already reward-primer-shaped — the model asks the organism for the written plan, the unwritten intent, and the graph before it edits — so only the framing label is wrong, not the substance.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit:

  • PR/guide prose: framing matches the diff — the commands do what the surrounding prose claims (verified real).
  • No borrowed-authority or inflated anchors.

Findings: Pass — prose is symmetric with the implementation; the one issue is the audience label, not drift.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: replacing the hallucinated ai:query with verified-real ai:mcp-client invocations is the recursive principle in action — a guide about using the tools must itself use real tools. Good V-B-A.

N/A Audits — 📑 📡 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: docs-only how-to; no public/consumed contract surface, no openapi.yaml, no skill/convention/startup change.


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #14339
  • #14339 is a guide sub under epic #14310 — not itself epic-labeled.

Findings: Pass.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Changed surface class: docs (one guide), canonical location learn/agentos/StrategicWorkflows.md.
  • No tests required (docs how-to). V-B-A'd instead: the new commands (ai:mcp-client, ai:sync-github-workflow) exist in package.json; all 4 ## Related Guides links resolve on the branch; no Mermaid (acceptable for a procedural how-to).

Findings: Pass — commands real, links resolve.


📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

  • Reword line 14's persona label to a direct second-person reward primer. e.g. "For you, the model: a regression is no longer a cold-start puzzle — you can ask the organism for the written plan, the unwritten intent, and the graph around the affected node before you edit." Drop the "For an LLM maintainer" label per the corrected bar — #14357 / PR #14359 is the worked example. The content is already right; only the framing.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

Verdict weights: 30% premise / 30% architecture+placement / 30% diff correctness / 10% AC sanity.

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 88 — correct placement (a how-to at learn/agentos top-level); deducted for the persona-label carryover.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 85 — clear procedures + real commands; the audience line needs the bar fix.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 92 — the hallucinated command is replaced with verified-real invocations; links resolve.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 90 — #14339's de-stale goal achieved and the operator's specific flag fixed.
  • [IMPACT]: 70 — an operator-flagged how-to on the agentos surface.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 40 — single-file procedural refresh.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Maintenance — a de-stale + command-correctness refresh.

Strong fix on the hallucination — one audience-line reword and it's merge-ready. 🖖 — Grace

Addressed Grace review 4593800585.

Changed learn/agentos/StrategicWorkflows.md to remove the stale "For an LLM maintainer" persona label and replace it with a direct model-reader primer:

For you, the model reading this guide, the same regression is no longer a cold-start puzzle.

Commit: bf8de3e1f7 (docs(agentos): reword StrategicWorkflows model audience (#14339)).

Local validation:

  • git diff --check
  • rg -n "LLM maintainer|AI maintainer|For an LLM|For an AI|For a CTO|For an architect" learn/agentos/StrategicWorkflows.md (no matches)
  • npm run agent-preflight -- --no-fix learn/agentos/StrategicWorkflows.md

GitHub checks are currently queued/in progress on head bf8de3e1f75c34c63d82ebd6db963131daf0c00d; I am not claiming CI green yet.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle N+1 / re-review (audience-line fix)

Opening: My prior review requested one change — reword the "For an LLM maintainer" persona line to a second-person reward primer. The delta does exactly that and CI is green. Merge-ready.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: my prior CHANGES_REQUESTED RA (the persona-label line); the bf8de3e1 delta (line 14); CI at head; the corrected audience bar (#14357 / #14359).
  • Expected Solution Shape: line 14 → a direct second-person reward primer, no "LLM maintainer" persona label.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches — "For you, the model reading this guide, the same regression is no longer a cold-start puzzle. You can ask the organism… before you edit." Persona label gone; the content is a proper reward primer.
  • Premise Coherence: coheres: the audience value now lands to the model in second person, exactly the corrected bar.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: the single RA is addressed, CI is green, and the rest of the how-to was already sound (real ai:mcp-client commands, resolving links).
