Durable Knowledge Links

Bind each knowledge item to the system part it describes so future change can find what it affects.

01 · THE SITUATION

“Your runbook explains the refund prompt, but a file move or interface redesign could break that reference.”

Guidance tied to a screen position or file path breaks as soon as the implementation moves.

REPOSITORY → ACTION → ARTIFACT → OUTCOME

Watch the work move.

  • repo/docs/runbook.mdThe explanation that needs a durable referent.
  • repo/prompts/refund-triage.mdThe underlying prompt rather than its screen location.
  • repo/tools/refund_api.pyThe callable operation described by the guidance.

03 · WHAT THE FDE DOES

cliVerified public-main primitive

Build a canonical identity URI

                      adopt identity build --scope acme/support-agent/acme-support-agent --kind prompt --namespace prompts --key refund-triage
                    

Available foundation primitive; the complete linking workflow is planned.

Create knowledge link

Planned local interface — illustrative.

  1. 01Resolve a canonical identity for the underlying system referent.
  2. 02Bind the knowledge item and its evidence to that identity.
  3. 03Version the trace and surface ambiguous references for review.

04 · WHAT GETS PRODUCED

Binding index with provenance trace

docs/runbook.md#refunds
dynamic references
review required

A stable relationship from the runbook instruction to the prompt, configuration, and tool it explains.

05 · WORK AVOIDED

You stop repairing guidance merely because a file, screen, or symbol moved.

06 · CREDIBILITY BOUNDARY

What this cannot know or do.

  • Ambiguous, generated, and runtime-only references can require review; matching an identity does not prove semantic equivalence.

07 · NEXT STEP

Try the workflow in context.
