woz-kb
**woz-kb** tunes the /woz-review code reviewer's knowledge base by distilling human PR comments, backtesting against historical merged pull requests, and learning missed patterns to improve recall and precision. Use `woz-kb tune` to onboard or optimize a repository or organization, and `woz-kb backtest` to run individual tuning components or measure reviewer performance against past PRs.

# /woz-kb — the reviewer's knowledge base
One skill, these subcommands:
- **`woz-kb tune`** — the start-to-finish orchestrator: distill → backtest → learn (autotuner new-personas + per-PR missed-fixes) → re-measure the lift. Dry-run by default; `--apply` writes to the KB. Use this to onboard/tune a new repo or a whole org.
- **`woz-kb backtest`** — the building blocks for power users: the raw backtest run plus `--tune`, `--missed-report`, `--org-tune`, `--ab-compare` (unchanged).
- **`woz-kb architecture-doc-fetch`** — fetch the current repo's COMPANY-scope `woz/architecture.md` manifest from the KB into the working tree (no-op when already up to date).
- **`woz-kb cross-repo <feature>`** — print a cross-repo planning brief from the org's architecture manifests; `--ground` additionally appends a two-pass code/PR grounding search on top of the manifest brief. Flags: `--repos owner/a,owner/b`, `--topk <n>`.
- **knowledge-base ops** (`status`, `query`, `note`, `unnote`, `suppress`, `unsuppress`, `boost`, `unboost`, `ingest`, `refresh`, `ops`) — inspect and customize the knowledge base directly, e.g. `/woz-kb status`, `/woz-kb note "..."`, `/woz-kb query <text>`.
The first positional arg selects the subcommand; if omitted it defaults to `backtest` (back-compat). `tune`, `backtest`, `architecture-doc-fetch`, and `cross-repo` run through `woz-kb.cjs`; the knowledge-base ops run through `woz-knowledge.cjs` (see that section).
## When to use
TRIGGER for tune/backtest: "tune the reviewer", "tune this repo", "onboard a repo", "tune the org", "backtest the reviewer", "how well does the reviewer do", or `/woz-kb`.
TRIGGER for architecture-doc-fetch/cross-repo: "sync the architecture doc", "fetch the architecture manifest", "cross-repo plan", "plan this across repos".
TRIGGER for knowledge-base ops: "knowledge base status", "what's in the knowledge base", "search the knowledge base for …", "add a knowledge-base note", "remember that X", "suppress this" / "stop the reviewer from citing X", "boost this", "ingest <file> into the knowledge base", "refresh the knowledge base", or `/woz-kb status` / `/woz-kb note` / `/woz-kb query`.
DO NOT use for: reviewing the current branch (`/woz review`) or past-session recall (`/woz-recall` — searches Claude Code session transcripts, not the knowledge base). General-purpose code search belongs to `mcp__plugin_woz_code__Search`, not the KB.

## `woz-kb tune` — start-to-finish
```bash
node --no-warnings=ExperimentalWarning ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/woz-kb.cjs tune \
--repo with-woz/wozcode \
--anthropic-api-key-file ~/.woz/.anthropic-backtest-key
```
Pipeline per repo: **(1)** trigger a KB refresh → **(2)** distill human PR comments into baseline persona-hints → **(3)** training backtest (20 PRs × 3 rounds, or reuse a cached run) → **(4)** learn: the autotuner contributes **new personas** (its unique cross-PR synthesis), then missed-fixes contributes the **per-PR durable persona-hints** → **(5)** re-measure on the same PRs and print the recall/precision lift.
Flags:
- `--repo <owner/name>` — tune one repo. **Mutually exclusive with `--org`.**
- `--org <orgId>` — tune every repo the org has indexed, then run a final company-scope org-tune.
- `--apply` — write to the KB. **Without it, `tune` is a dry-run**: it computes + reports proposed hints/personas and counts but writes nothing (and skips the re-measure, since nothing changed).
- `--reuse-run <runId>` — reuse an existing backtest run's PRs + baseline instead of running a fresh (expensive) reviewer pass. `tune` also auto-reuses the newest cached run for the repo when present.
- `--count <n>` / `--rounds <n|all>` — training-backtest size (defaults 20 / 3) when not reusing a run.
- `--skip-distill` / `--skip-refresh` / `--skip-remeasure` — drop individual phases.
- `--anthropic-api-key-file <path>` — use API pricing for the reviewer/judge subprocesses.
- `--judge-model` / `--reviewer-model` / `--reviewer-via` / `--source` — as in `backtest`.
Note: after an `--apply`, the reviewer cache is invalidated (KB changed), so the re-measure re-runs the reviewer on the (small) PR set — a real cost, not a cache hit.

## `woz-kb backtest` — building blocks
```bash
node --no-warnings=ExperimentalWarning ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/woz-kb.cjs backtest \
--repo with-woz/wozcode --count 3 --rounds 1
```
Runs the deep reviewer against a sample of historical merged PRs and scores how close it gets — the reviewer never sees the human comments or merged diff, so the score is a real recall measure. Key flags:
- `--repo <owner/name>` (required), `--source <path>` (default cwd), `--count <n>` (default 3), `--rounds <n|all>` (per-review-round scoring), `--prs <n,n,n>` (explicit PRs; reuse a prior run's set for a comparable measurement).
- `--tune <runId> [--tune-apply] [--min-apply-ratio <n>]` — autotuner over a finished run.
- `--missed-report <runId> [--tune-apply]` — per-PR missed→suggested-fixes; writes `missed-fixes.json` + `.md`.
- `--org-tune <orgId> [--org-tune-all | --org-tune-repos <list>] [--org-tune-apply]` — cross-repo → company scope.
- `--ab-compare <baselineRunId> <newRunId> [--auto-rollback]`, `--personas <ids>`, `--no-apply`, `--timeout-min <n>`.
## Safety contract (backtest runs)
- A fresh clone per PR at `<repo>/.wozcode/backtests/<runId>/pr-<n>/clone/`; `.wozcode/` is gitignored.
- The clone's `origin` is removed and push URLs are rewritten to `unreachable://` for both `https://` and `git@`; `GH_TOKEN`/`GITHUB_TOKEN`/`GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` are stripped and `HOME` is sandboxed. The reviewer cannot push or authenticate.
- Read-only against upstream. Artifacts persist for inspection.
## Output
Each run writes `<source>/.wozcode/backtests/<runId>/`: `report.md`, `summary.json`, and per-PR/round `reviewer.md`, `findings.json`, `score.json`, `usage.json`. `--missed-report` adds `missed-fixes.{json,md}`; `tune` prints the recall/precision lift.

## `woz-kb architecture-doc-fetch` / `woWOZCODE free-plan fallback agent — active when the monthly free-plan cap is exhausted. Claude Code's built-in Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, and NotebookEdit are available; WOZCODE MCP tools are disallowed until the cap resets or the user upgrades.
WozCode enhanced coding agent with smart search, batch editing, and SQL introspection. Use as the default main thread agent.
Fast read-only agent for file searches, symbol lookups, and codebase questions like "where is X defined?", "where is X called?", or "how does X flow through the system?". Prefer over shell-based exploration when answering would take 3+ Search/Sql calls. Cheaper model (haiku) so delegation pays for itself on any real scan.
