KERNEL v1.5.0: Automatic Methodology
Automatic Methodology + Tailored Configuration
KERNEL methodology now applies automatically based on context. No more typing /plan or /debug - KERNEL detects what you're doing and applies the right approach.
What's New
Automatic Methodology
| You're doing... | KERNEL automatically... |
|---|---|
| Implementing new feature | Researches, plans, defines interfaces first |
| Fixing a bug | Reproduces, isolates, finds root cause |
| Refactoring | Understands deeply before changing |
| Completing work | Reviews against requirements |
Commands: 19 → 11
Removed (now automatic):
/plan,/debug,/review,/research/discover,/iterate,/tearitapart/arbiter-compact
Remaining:
- Setup:
/kernel-init,/kernel-user-init - Pipelines:
/build,/docs - Git:
/branch,/ship,/parallelize,/release - Maintenance:
/kernel-status,/kernel-prune,/handoff
Redundancy Layers
Methodology is applied through three layers:
kernel/rules/methodology.md- Context detection rules- Project CLAUDE.md - Default behaviors section
kernel/banks/- Deep methodology when needed
Philosophy: Tailored, Not Templated
Every artifact is created because your project needs it. Banks are guides, not copy-paste templates.
Cleanup
- Removed ~3000 lines of duplicate/outdated content
- Consolidated documentation bank (now 643 lines)
- Fixed command syntax (
/kernel-initnot/kernel:init)
