KnowzCode

TDD coding with quality gates

KnowzCode is a structured AI coding framework for ChatGPT and Codex — not a notes app, not “the Knowz codebase.”

The knowledge stays. The model doesn’t. The model is interchangeable. Your context is not. Your data. Your models. Your terms.

Use KnowzCode when you want durable coding context: analyze → spec → build with TDD → audit → ship, with quality gates between phases. Micro fixes stay light; full features get the full loop. Works across coding assistants; optional Knowz vaults for team decisions are a separate product (knowz.io).

Skills 9

  • continue

    Resume an interrupted KnowzCode workflow. Use when the user wants to continue an active WorkGroup, load the latest local handoff, or advance the next pending phase.

  • explore

    Research a codebase area before implementation. Use when the user wants investigation, architectural context, prior art, or options before changing code.

  • fix

    Apply a quick, targeted KnowzCode micro-fix. Use when the requested change is small, localized, and does not need the full multi-phase workflow.

  • regroup

    Create a local KnowzCode handoff before clearing context. Use when the user wants to pause, wrap up, step away, clear context, or resume an active WorkGroup later without losing workflow state.

  • regroup-trigger

    Detect pause, wrap-up, handoff, or clear-context intent and offer a KnowzCode regroup handoff. Triggers when the user says they need to stop, step away, clear context, start fresh, hand off, or resume later.

  • setup

    Initialize KnowzCode in a repository for Grok Bot and Cursor: framework files, project personalization, and the Cursor rule. Knowz MCP is optional and never blocks setup.

  • start-work

    Route implementation intent into KnowzCode workflow mode. Use for 'start building', 'go ahead', 'implement this plan', or 'build this now' requests.

  • status

    Check KnowzCode project health, active work, and pending captures. Use for status, setup verification, or troubleshooting. Knowz MCP is optional.

  • work

    Start a structured KnowzCode workflow for feature work, multi-file changes, or meaningful refactors with TDD and quality gates. For single-file changes under ~50 lines use /knowzcode:fix; for read-only research use /knowzcode:explore.

Things to ask

  • “Start KnowzCode for [feature]. Classify micro/light/full and propose the next gated step—don’t skip it.”
  • “Draft a short spec for [change] with done-means and don’t-touch rules, then wait for my approval before coding.”
  • “Build [small change] test-first under KnowzCode: failing test → implementation → re-run.”
