• add_groupwrite action

  Create a new (initially empty) knowledge group. Idempotent \u2014 returns true either way.

• add_topic

  Add a topic to the knowledge map, or update its confidence if it exists. Optionally assign to a group (auto-created). Prefer a single-word topic id. Idempotent.

• complete_onboarding

  Save the user's initial knowledge profile and mark onboarding complete. Wipes any default-seeded profile. topics: {topic_id: confidence_0_to_10}. groups: {group_name: [topic_id,...]} (topics not in any group go to 'Other'). Ensures learning-state.md exists and is non-empty (a placeholder if needed) \u2014 there is no notebook argument here. Write the real personalized notebook yourself right after

• delete_lessonwrite action

  Permanently delete a lesson by id. Returns true if found and deleted.

• get_briefing

  Everything needed before delivering a lesson, in ONE call: onboarding status, rate limit, taught topics, knowledge profile, the coaching notebook text and its notebook_path. Same data as the devcoach://briefing resource \u2014 call the tool, it needs no server name.

• get_lessons

  Query the coaching lesson history. All filters combine. period defaults to all; date_from/date_to override period; limit caps results newest-first (0 = all).

• get_onboarding

  Onboarding status (knowledge_ready, notebook_ready, needs_onboarding), the stack detected across the full Claude Code history with per-project provenance, the default topics and the notebook_path. Same data as the devcoach://onboarding resource.

• get_profile

  Current knowledge map: topics with confidence 0\u201310 and their groups. Same data as the devcoach://profile resource.

• import_lesson

  Store a lesson someone shared. Pass whatever the user handed you, verbatim: the devcoach:lesson:1:\u2026 code, the whole copied card, the share link, a URL to the lesson text, the contents of a .devcoach.md file, or a lessons JSON export. The lesson joins the coaching log as their own (feedback works as usual) but never counts against the daily limit; re-importing the same share is reported as a d

• log_lesson

  Save a delivered lesson to the coaching log. Git metadata (project, repository, branch, commit_hash, folder, repository_platform) is auto-detected from the workspace when omitted. timestamp is always stamped server-side with the current time \u2014 there is no argument for it. Returns the saved Lesson with all resolved fields.

• open_ui

  Launch the devcoach web dashboard in the background. port must be 1024-65535.

• preview_deep_scan

  Cheap, metadata-only pre-check for 'Automatic (Deep)' onboarding. Counts and lists Claude Code projects whose last recorded activity falls within a rolling window (months back from now) \u2014 a real date window, not a fixed top-N. Reads no prompt/conversation text, only project paths and activity timestamps. Call this BEFORE spawning the deep-read subagent: over_soft_limit true means there are en

• remove_groupwrite action

  Delete a knowledge group. Its topics move to Other. Returns true if it existed.

• remove_topicwrite action

  Remove a topic from the knowledge map entirely. Returns true if it existed.

• share_lesson

  Hand a lesson to another person. transport 'text' (default) returns the card plus a one-line code to paste anywhere; 'link' a server-less URL that previews the lesson and imports it into their dashboard; 'file' the contents of a .devcoach.md file. Only title, summary, body, topic, categories and level travel unless include_context is true; local paths never do. Pick the lesson with get_lessons fir

• skip_lesson

  Decline a lesson cue: call this when the coaching hook asked for a lesson but the completed work does not warrant one (pure questions, chat, nothing technical). Re-arms the pacing counter so the cue is not repeated immediately. Never call it after delivering a lesson \u2014 log_lesson already resolves the cue.

• star_lesson

  Set the starred (favourite) flag on a lesson. Returns true if found and updated. Idempotent.

• stop_ui

  Stop the devcoach web dashboard listening on port (whoever started it \u2014 open_ui or a terminal). Graceful: in-flight requests finish first. Reports stopped=false when nothing is running there. port must be 1024-65535.

• submit_feedbackwrite action

  Record comprehension feedback for a lesson and adjust knowledge confidence. know = +1, dont_know = -1, clear = remove feedback (no confidence change). Idempotent \u2014 the same feedback twice adjusts confidence only once.

• update_knowledgewrite action

  Adjust the confidence score for a topic by delta (e.g. +1 or -1). Returns the new confidence (0-10). Creates the topic at confidence 5 if it does not exist.

• update_settingswrite action

  Update a coaching setting. max_per_day: integer 1-20. min_gap_minutes: integer 0-1440 (0 = no cooldown). nudge_every: integer 0-1000 interactions between lesson cues (0 = cue every turn). nudge_scope: 'session' | 'global'. share_name: the sender name proposed when sharing a lesson (max 80 chars, empty clears). Returns the full updated Settings.
