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:
- Troubleshooting docs (if issue/error/problem indicated)
- Quickstart guides (if "how to" or getting started)
- Framework README (if framework-specific)
- Natural language guide (if command-related)
Step 4: Provide Answer
Format response as:
## {Topic}
{Concise answer to the query}
### Quick Fix
{Most common solution - 1-3 steps}
### Details
{Additional context if needed}
### Related Topics

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