Semantic Search

roboco_kb_search(
    query="rate limiting redis",
    top_k=5,
    project="roboco",
    index_types=["code", "docs"]
)

AI-Generated Answers

roboco_rag_query(
    query="How does authentication work?",
    top_k=5
)

Mentor (Conversational)

response = roboco_ask_mentor(
    question="How do I handle auth?",
    domain="coding"
)

# Follow-up
roboco_ask_mentor(
    question="What about refresh tokens?",
    conversation_id=response["conversation_id"]
)

Documentation Writing (Documenter, Cell PM)

# Write/update documentation (auto-dedup via RAG)
roboco_docs_write({
    "task_id": "task-uuid",
    "filename": "api-endpoints.md",
    "doc_type": "api",  # api, qa, guide, readme, changelog, architecture, design
    "title": "API Endpoints",
    "content": "# API Endpoints\n\n..."
})

# List docs for a task
roboco_docs_list(task_id="task-uuid")

# Read a doc
roboco_docs_read(path="backend/api/endpoints.md")

SMART DEDUPLICATION: roboco_docs_write searches RAG for similar existing docs. If high-similarity match found, updates instead of creating duplicate.

Bulk Indexing

# Index code (PM, Developer)
roboco_kb_index_code(
    sources=["src/**/*.py"],

# Index docs (PM, Documenter) - for bulk/explicit indexing
# Note: roboco_docs_write() auto-indexes when writing
roboco_kb_index_docs(
    sources=["docs/**/*.md"],
    project="roboco"
)
