Rename all 16 built-in tools to match Claude Code's naming (PascalCase): read_file→Read, write_file→Write, update_file→Edit, append_file→AppendFile, list_directory→LS, search_files→Grep, glob_files→Glob, move_file→MoveFile, copy_file→CopyFile, delete_file→DeleteFile, execute_bash→Bash, execute_powershell→PowerShell, web_fetch→WebFetch, ask_user→AskUserQuestion, checklist→TodoWrite, subagent→Agent. Default context.patterns now discovers CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, and .github/copilot-instructions.md so content written for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, and OpenCode works out of the box. Default skillDirs now includes .claude/skills, .agents/skills, and .opencode/skills so skills authored for any agent are found automatically. https://claude.ai/code/session_01HkzuGxPQ1N55bMWFMdNNU6
Add a note in the Context Discovery sections explaining that ra automatically discovers context files and skills from Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, and OpenCode — no migration needed. https://claude.ai/code/session_01HkzuGxPQ1N55bMWFMdNNU6
Aligns tool names with Claude Code conventions (e.g., read_file → ReadFile, execute_bash → Bash). Updates all references in source, tests, docs, and recipes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

PR #16 was squash-merged but only 2 of 44 changed files survived in the merge commit (9671ebd). This re-applies the missing changes from the original commit (99761b1): renaming all 16 built-in tools from snake_case to PascalCase (read_file→Read, execute_bash→Bash, etc.) and updating all references across docs, tests, and config. https://claude.ai/code/session_01W4cKgwwSFv71LivgvcrtzD

* Re-apply PascalCase tool renames lost during PR #16 squash merge PR #16 was squash-merged but only 2 of 44 changed files survived in the merge commit (9671ebd). This re-applies the missing changes from the original commit (99761b1): renaming all 16 built-in tools from snake_case to PascalCase (read_file→Read, execute_bash→Bash, etc.) and updating all references across docs, tests, and config. https://claude.ai/code/session_01W4cKgwwSFv71LivgvcrtzD * Fix printToolCall test to pass required args parameter The conflict resolution dropped the second argument to printToolCall(), which requires both name and args. Restored the args parameter to fix the TypeScript compilation error. https://claude.ai/code/session_01W4cKgwwSFv71LivgvcrtzD --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

All tool functionality remains unchanged—this is purely a naming convention update. The new PascalCase names are more consistent with common API naming patterns and improve readability in logs and documentation.
