ā¢ package.json dependencies updated
ā¢ New files added to src/types/ directory
š **Partial Updates Available**:
ā¢ Structure analysis update
ā¢ Dependency graph refresh
š” **Next Actions**:
ā¢ Run \`refresh_project_intelligence\` to update
ā¢ Apply incremental changes`
}]
}
```
**Error Conditions**:
- Project cache not found

- Unable to compare file timestamps
**Example Usage**:
```bash
# Validate specific project cache
validate_project_intelligence_cache({ projectName: "MyProject" })
```
**Performance**: <2 seconds for validation checks.

### refresh_project_intelligence
**Purpose**: Incrementally update project intelligence cache with latest changes.
**Input Schema**:
```typescript
{
projectName: string,
changes?: ProjectChange[] // Optional: specific changes to process
}
interface ProjectChange {
type: 'file_added' | 'file_modified' | 'file_deleted' | 'config_changed',
path: string,

```typescript
{
content: [{
type: 'text',
text: `š **Project Intelligence Refresh Complete**
**Project**: MyProject
ā
**Status**: SUCCESS
**New Version**: v1234567891
**Duration**: 2,347ms
š **Update Summary**:
ā
**Updated Sections**: structure, development
š **Processed Changes**:
ā¢ file_modified: src/index.ts (moderate)
ā¢ file_added: src/types/new-types.ts (minor)
ā¢ config_changed: package.json (major)
š **Confidence Improved**: +8.5%
ā” **EFFICIENCY**: Incremental refresh completed! Cache maintains peak performance while staying current.
š” **Next Steps**:
ā¢ Cache is ready for immediate use
ā¢ Continue development with fresh intelligence
ā¢ Auto-invalidation triggers remain active`
}]
}
```
**Error Conditions**:
- No existing cache to refresh
- Filesystem analysis failures
- Memory MCP storage issues
**Example Usage**:
```bash
# Auto-detect and refresh changes
refresh_project_intelligence({ projectName: "MyProject" })
# Refresh with specific changes
refresh_project_intelligence({
projectName: "MyProject",
changes: [
{ type: "file_modified", path: "src/index.ts", magnitude: "moderate" },
{ type: "config_changed", path: "package.json", magnitude: "major" }
]
})
```
**Performance**: 2-10 seconds for incremental updates.

### invalidate_project_cache
**Purpose**: Smart cache cleanup when major changes make cache unreliable.
**Input Schema**:
```typescript
{
projectName: string,
reason: string // Reason for invalidation
}
```
**Response Format**:
```typescript
{
content: [{
type: 'text',
text: `š„ **Project Intelligence Cache Invalidated**
**Project**: MyProject
**Reason**: Major architectural changes detected
**Timestamp**: 2025-06-04T17:45:00Z
šļø **Cache Status**: Successfully invalidated and removed from Memory MCP
ā ļø **Impact**:
ā¢ Project intelligence no longer available for instant loading
ā¢ Session startup will require full project analysis
ā¢ All cached insights have been cleared
š **Next Steps**:
1. **Recreate cache**: \`create_project_intelligence_cache\`
2. **Full reanalysis**: Enable comprehensive project understanding
3. **Restore efficiency**: Return to instant context loading
š” **Tip**: Consider refreshing instead of invalidating when possible to maintain efficiency benefits.`
}]
}
```
**Error Conditions**:
- Cache doesn't exist (safe to ignore)
- Memory MCP connection failure
- Permission issues
**Example Usage**:
```bash
# Invalidate cache due to major changes
invalidate_project_cache({
projectName: "MyProject",
reason: "Complete architecture refactor - cache no longer relevant"
})
# Invalidate before major migration
invalidate_project_cache({
projectName: "LegacyApp",
reason: "Migrating from JavaScript to TypeScript"
})
```
**Performance**: <1 second for cache cleanup.

## šÆ Magic Incantation Patterns
### Basic Loading Pattern
```bash
Load ProjectIntelligence_{ProjectName} from Memory MCP - instant context!
```
### Task-Specific Pattern
```bash
Load ProjectIntelligence_{ProjectName} from Memory MCP - continuing {specific task}!
```
### Full Context Pattern
```bash
Load ProjectIntelligence_{ProjectName}_EFFICIENCY_COMPLETE from Memory MCP - instant 90% complete context! **EXACT NEXT TASK**: {specific next action}
```
### Handoff Pattern
```bash
Load ProjectIntelligence_{ProjectName} from Memory MCP - instant context! **YOUR RULES**: 1) Approval Required 2) Artifact Display 3) Architecture Check 4) File Paths 5) Documentation First
```

text: string // Rich formatted response with:
// - Status indicators (ā
ā ļø ā)
// - Key metrics and data
// - Next steps and recommendations
// - Performance indicators
// - User guidance
}]
}
```
### Error Response Structure
```typescript
interface ErrorResponse {
content: [{
type: 'text',
text: string // Includes:
// - Clear error description
// - Troubleshooting steps
// - Recovery options
// - Alternative approaches
}]
}
