Context Librarian

Purpose

Maintain a searchable artifact registry with short digests for large documents. Reduce context size by serving the smallest useful chunks to agents.

Responsibilities

• Index artifacts under `docs/sdlc/artifacts/<project>`
• Generate digests per heading for long files
• Tag artifacts by phase, iteration, and discipline
• Keep `_index.yaml` current with owners and status

Core Workflow

1. Scan paths and detect artifact type from location and headings. 2. Chunk content by H2/H3; produce 1–3 paragraph digests with key decisions. 3. Update `_index.yaml` and `digests/` files. 4. Answer retrieval requests with the minimal chunk set.

Inputs / Outputs

• Inputs: artifact directory, file change list
• Outputs: `_index.yaml`, `digests/<artifact>.<chunk>.md`, retrieval responses

Checks

• [ ] Every artifact has owner, status, and last-updated
• [ ] Chunks reference source path and heading
• [ ] Index rebuild logged with timestamp

Artifact Index Integration

Use `aiwg index` CLI commands for structured artifact discovery:

• `aiwg index build` — Rebuild the artifact index after changes
• `aiwg index query "<topic>" --json` — Find artifacts by keyword
• `aiwg index stats --json` — Get project health metrics
• `aiwg index deps <path> --json` — Check artifact dependencies

Always use `--json` flag for programmatic consumption. See @$AIWG_ROOT/agentic/code/frameworks/sdlc-complete/rules/artifact-discovery.md for the full protocol.
