Loki Mode

Generate a counter-evidence file template for the given iteration. Use it when you disagree with review findings and need a pre-filled file to argue each one. Do not use it to read the findings themselves (use loki_findings); it only generates the template for the iteration. Pre-fills canonical findingId for each Critical/High finding so the user only has to fill in `claim` + `proofType`. Save the template body to .loki/state/counter-evidence-<iteration>.json to dispute findings via the override council.

Read structured code-review findings for a given iteration. Use it to read the structured review findings of one iteration, newest by default. Do not use it for gate and council summaries (use loki_quality_report) or to prepare counter-evidence (use loki_counter_evidence_template). Args: iteration: iteration number (default -1 = most recent). Returns: JSON {iteration, review_id, findings: [...]}.

Find files that frequently change together with a given file. Use it before editing a file to learn which other files usually change with it. Do not use it to rank the riskiest files overall (use loki_get_hotspots) or to read code relationships (use loki_graph_query). Uses git co-change analysis to identify coupling between files. Useful for understanding hidden dependencies and ensuring related files are updated together. Args: file_path: Path to the file to find co-change partners for

Get documentation coverage status for the project. Use it to decide where documentation work is needed, based on the docs manifest. Do not use it to find risky code (use loki_get_hotspots) or to search code (use loki_code_search). Reads from the docs manifest to report which files are documented, which have stale documentation, and which are missing docs entirely. Useful for prioritizing documentation work.

Get the most frequently changed files in the repository. Use it to find the files that change most often so you can take extra care there. Do not use it to find which files change with a given file (use loki_get_co_changes) or to check documentation (use loki_get_doc_coverage). Identifies code hotspots based on git commit frequency analysis. These files deserve extra care during changes (higher risk of regressions). Args: limit: Number of top hotspot files to return (default 10, max 30)

Answer a codebase question from a knowledge graph instead of reading files. Use it for questions about structure and relationships, such as what calls what or what depends on what, without reading files. Do not use it to find code by meaning (use loki_code_search) or for exact symbol lookups (use lsp_workspace_symbols). WHY THIS EXISTS Loading a large repo into context is the dominant token cost of working on it, and on a big codebase it is simply impossible. Measured on this repo: `autonomy/` alone is 85 files / 3,194,940 bytes, roughly 798,735 tokens if naively read. No cont…

Read recent learnings (newest first) from relevant-learnings.json. Use it to read recent learnings recorded in relevant-learnings.json, newest first, to avoid repeating past mistakes. Do not use it to search or rank memory (use loki_memory_retrieve or mem_search) or to save a new lesson (use loki_memory_store_pattern).

v7.7.18 capture wedge: store an episode for the current agent session. Call it once at iteration close to record what happened as an episode in the project memory. Do not use it to store a reusable lesson (use loki_memory_store_pattern) or to distill many episodes into patterns (use loki_consolidate_memory). Call this voluntarily at iteration close (or session end) to write a structured Episode into the project's .loki/memory/ store. Solves the diagnosis root cause where memory only captured during `loki start` sessions, missing all interactive Claude Code / Cursor / Cline / Aider work. Args…

Redact memory versions in the managed-agents store whose content matches a regex. Use it to redact sensitive content, for example a leaked secret, from managed memory versions that match a regex. Do not use it to read or search memory (use mem_search or loki_memory_retrieve); it needs managed memory enabled. Iterates memory versions within the requested scope and calls ``client.beta.memory_stores.memory_versions.redact(...)`` for each match. Requires ``LOKI_MANAGED_AGENTS=true`` and ``LOKI_MANAGED_MEMORY=true`` -- otherwise raises ``ManagedDisabled``. Args: pattern: Python regex compiled…

Retrieve relevant memories for a task using task-aware retrieval. Use it at the start of a task to pull the memories most relevant to what you are about to do, ranked for the task type. Do not use it for exact keyword lookups (use mem_search), for recent history (use mem_timeline) or to fetch known ids (use mem_get). Args: query: Search query describing what you're looking for task_type: Type of task (exploration, implementation, debugging, review, refactoring) top_k: Maximum number of results to return Returns: JSON array of relevant memory entries with summaries

Store a new semantic pattern learned during this session. Use it to save a reusable lesson with its correct and incorrect approach so later sessions can retrieve it. Do not use it to log what happened this session (use loki_memory_capture_session_summary) or to read patterns back (use loki_memory_retrieve). Args: pattern: Brief description of the pattern category: Category (api, testing, security, performance, architecture, etc.) correct_approach: The correct way to handle this situation incorrect_approach: What to avoid (optional) confidence: Confidence level 0.0-1.0 Ret…

Get efficiency metrics for the current session. Use it to see token usage, tool calls and efficiency ratios for the current session. Do not use it for per-agent breakdowns (use loki_agent_metrics) or for run state (use loki_state_get). Returns: JSON object with token usage, tool calls, efficiency ratios, and tool_telemetry (tools per turn, tool error rate, MCP tool count, skill/reference modules read)

Get the current project status including RARV cycle state, agent activity, and task progress. Use it for the broad picture: RARV cycle state, agent activity and task counts. Do not use it for the raw phase and memory presence (use loki_state_get), quality gates (use loki_quality_report) or token metrics (use loki_agent_metrics). Returns: JSON with project status, phase, iteration, agents, and task counts

Get quality gate results including blind review scores, council verdicts, and test coverage. Use it for gate results, council verdicts and coverage for the project. Do not use it for the individual review findings of one iteration (use loki_findings) or for overall progress (use loki_project_status). Returns: JSON with quality gate status, review results, and coverage metrics

Seal changes you already made in a repo into a signed Loki receipt. Use it after editing a repo yourself, to get the same Wall-verified receipt a Loki run gives. The Wall is written from the intent alone, without seeing the diff. Do not use it to build something (use loki_v10_run) or to re-check an existing receipt (use loki_v10_verify). Args: repo_path: Git repository with uncommitted changes to seal intent: What the changes are meant to do, in plain words Returns: JSON with run_id, verdict, verdict_is_verified (the receipt verdict string, not a signature check), receipt_path, s…

Start a new Loki Mode project from a PRD. Use it to initialize a Loki Mode project from a PRD given inline or by path. Do not use it for a single task or issue reference (use loki_v10_run) or to inspect a running project (use loki_project_status). Args: prd_content: Inline PRD content (takes priority over prd_path) prd_path: Path to a PRD file on disk Returns: JSON with project initialization status

Get the current Loki Mode state including phase, metrics, and status. Use it for a quick read of the current phase, autonomy state and memory presence from the .loki directory. Do not use it for task counts and agent activity (use loki_project_status) or for token and cost numbers (use loki_metrics_efficiency). Returns: JSON object with current state information

Add a new task to the Loki Mode task queue. Use it to queue new work with a title, description, priority and SDLC phase. Do not use it to change an existing task (use loki_task_queue_update) or to see what is already queued (use loki_task_queue_list). Args: title: Brief task title description: Detailed task description priority: Priority level (low, medium, high, critical) phase: SDLC phase (discovery, architecture, development, testing, deployment) Returns: Task ID if successful

List all tasks in the Loki Mode task queue. Use it to see every queued task with its status and priority before adding or updating one. Do not use it to change tasks (use loki_task_queue_add or loki_task_queue_update) or for overall project progress (use loki_project_status). Returns: JSON array of tasks with status, priority, and description

Update a task's status or priority. Use it to change the status or priority of a task that is already queued. Do not use it to create tasks (use loki_task_queue_add) or to declare the whole project finished (use loki_complete_task). Args: task_id: ID of the task to update status: New status (pending, in_progress, completed, blocked) priority: New priority (low, medium, high, critical) Returns: Updated task if successful

Start a Loki 10 run in the background (same engine as `loki <ref>`). Use it to start a Loki 10 run in the background for a task text or issue reference. Do not use it to follow a run that is already started (use loki_v10_status) or to check a finished receipt (use loki_v10_verify). Args: ref: Task text or issue reference (owner/repo#N or issue URL) repo_path: Repository directory (must be inside the project root) Returns: JSON with run_id (null if not yet created), pid and log_path. Never blocks.

Read the state of a Loki 10 run from its events log. Use it to poll a Loki 10 run for its phase, verdict and cost after starting one. Do not use it to start a run (use loki_v10_run) or to check a receipt (use loki_v10_verify). Args: repo_path: Repository directory containing .loki/runs run_id: Run id (e10-...); defaults to the newest run Returns: JSON with phase, done, verdict (once done) and cost_usd (null if unmeasured)

Run `loki verify` on a receipt (or the newest run of a repo). Use it to re-verify a finished run's receipt through the same check as `loki verify`. Do not use it to follow a run in progress (use loki_v10_status) or to check changed files quickly (use loki_verify_fast). Args: receipt_path: Path to a receipt.json (takes priority) repo_path: Repository directory; verifies its newest run Returns: JSON with exit_code, verified and an output summary

Verify code deterministically in milliseconds. No model call, no network. Use it for an immediate, deterministic check of a repo or its diff against a git ref. Do not use it to verify a finished run's receipt (use loki_v10_verify) or to review code quality (use loki_quality_report). This is the embeddable verification primitive: an IDE, another agent, a CI step, or a third-party tool can call it and get a structured verdict back faster than a keystroke round-trip. MEASURED on loki-mode itself (1,932 tracked source files): full repo, cold 298 ms full repo, warm 87 ms diff-sco…

Get Prometheus-compatible agent metrics including token usage, tool calls, RARV cycles, and timing.

List available checkpoints or restore project state from a specific checkpoint.

Get the current project status including RARV cycle state, active agents, and quality gate results.

Get quality gate results including blind review scores, council votes, and gate pass/fail status.

Start a new Loki Mode project from a PRD. Accepts PRD content directly or a file path.

Cheap existence check for a symbol in the current workspace. Call it before writing a reference to a symbol you have not read, because it answers quickly and is cheap. Do not use it to find where the symbol lives (use lsp_find_definition_by_name) or to search by concept (use lsp_workspace_symbols). The single most useful grounding primitive: an agent about to write `flightApi.getStatus()` should call `lsp_check_exists("getStatus")` first. If false, it means LSP could not find that name anywhere in the workspace; the agent should resolve via find / grep / read before writing the call. Args: …

Find where a named symbol is defined, without needing a file position upfront. Convenience wrapper: runs workspace/symbol then returns the first result's location. Use it when you know the symbol name but have no file position. Do not use it when you already have a position (use lsp_go_to_definition) or only a fuzzy concept (use lsp_workspace_symbols). Args: symbol: Symbol name to find. language: Optional language override. Returns: JSON: {"location": {uri, range} | null, "name": str | null, "language": "...", "elapsed_ms": float}.

Find references to the symbol at the given file / line / character. Use it to see every place a symbol at a known file, line and character is used, for example before renaming it. Do not use it to jump to the definition (use lsp_go_to_definition) or when you only know the name (use lsp_workspace_symbols first). Args: file: Absolute or cwd-relative path to the source file. line: 0-indexed line number (LSP convention). character: 0-indexed character offset within the line. include_declaration: If True, include the symbol declaration in results. Returns: JSON-encoded…

Return current LSP diagnostics (errors + warnings) for a file. Call it after editing a file to see new errors and warnings before the next iteration. Do not use it to look up symbols (use lsp_check_exists or lsp_workspace_symbols); it reports problems in one file only. Diagnostics are published asynchronously by LSP servers via `textDocument/publishDiagnostics`. This tool opens the file (if not already open, or re-syncs it via didChange if edited since first open) and waits up to 1 second for diagnostics to arrive, then returns whatever has been published. Args: file: Absolute or cwd-rel…

Resolve the definition location for the symbol at file / line / character. Use it when you have a file position and want the file and line where that symbol is defined. Do not use it when you only have a name (use lsp_find_definition_by_name) or want usages (use lsp_find_references). Args: file: Absolute or cwd-relative path to the source file. line: 0-indexed line number. character: 0-indexed character offset within the line. Returns: JSON-encoded string with `result` (LSP Location | Location[] | LocationLink[]) on success or `error` on failure.

Return the hover / symbol info at the given file / line / character. Uses LSP `textDocument/hover` which returns a `MarkupContent` plus an optional range. Use it to read the type and documentation of the symbol at a known position without opening its definition. Do not use it to locate the definition (use lsp_go_to_definition) or to check that a name exists (use lsp_check_exists). Args: file: Absolute or cwd-relative path to the source file. line: 0-indexed line number. character: 0-indexed character offset within the line. Returns: JSON-encoded string with `result` (LSP Hove…

Fuzzy-search symbols across the entire workspace. Use it when you know the concept but not the identifier. Do not use it to verify a single known name (use lsp_check_exists) or to get one definition location (use lsp_find_definition_by_name). Use when an agent is hunting for the right name (knows the function/class is about "config loading" but isn't sure of the actual identifier). Returns LSP workspace/symbol results scoped to the detected language (or the language override). Args: query: Symbol query (substring or fuzzy per LSP server impl). limit: Max results to return (default 20…

Fetch full details for one or more memory entries by ID. Use it after mem_search or mem_timeline to read full details for the ids you picked. Do not use it to discover entries, because it needs ids (use mem_search or loki_memory_retrieve first). Use after mem_search to get complete data for specific results. Args: ids: Comma-separated list of memory IDs to fetch Returns: JSON object with full memory details keyed by ID

Search memory using full-text search (FTS5). Use it for fast keyword lookups across stored memory with AND, OR, NOT and prefix matching. Do not use it for task-aware ranking (use loki_memory_retrieve), for recent history (use mem_timeline) or to read full entries (use mem_get). Fast keyword search across all memory types. Supports AND, OR, NOT operators and prefix matching (e.g. "debug*"). Args: query: Search query (plain text or FTS5 syntax) collection: Which memories to search (episodes, patterns, skills, all) limit: Maximum results to return Returns: JSON array of matchin…

Get chronological context from memory timeline. Use it to see what happened recently, or around one memory entry, in time order. Do not use it to find entries by keyword (use mem_search) or to rank memories for a task (use loki_memory_retrieve). Shows recent actions, key decisions, and episode traces in time order. Use around_id to get context surrounding a specific memory entry. Args: around_id: Optional memory ID to center the timeline around limit: Maximum timeline entries to return since_hours: Only show entries from the last N hours (default 24) Returns: JSON timeline w…
