codebase

Record code patterns and architectural decisions, then retrieve relevant context to maintain consistent design and avoid repeated decisions.

Instructions

Unified codebase tool. Actions: 'remember_pattern' (store code pattern), 'remember_decision' (store architectural decision), 'get_context' (retrieve patterns and decisions).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameNoName/title for the pattern (required for remember_pattern)
filesNoFiles where this pattern is used or affected by this decision
limitNoMaximum items per category (default: 10, for get_context)
actionYesAction to perform: 'remember_pattern' stores a code pattern, 'remember_decision' stores an architectural decision, 'get_context' retrieves patterns and decisions for a codebase
codebaseNoCodebase/project identifier (e.g., 'vestige-tauri')
decisionNoThe architectural or design decision made (required for remember_decision)
rationaleNoWhy this decision was made (required for remember_decision)
descriptionNoDetailed description of the pattern (required for remember_pattern)
alternativesNoAlternatives that were considered (optional for remember_decision)
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states that the tool stores and retrieves data but does not detail side effects, state changes, idempotency, or any other behavioral characteristics.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise at three sentences, front-loading the overall purpose and then detailing actions. It is efficient but could benefit from a more structured layout to improve scannability.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With 9 parameters, multiple actions, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It fails to explain how to effectively use the tool, what the output of 'get_context' includes, or how to format patterns/decisions. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to use the tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema provides 100% coverage and already describes each parameter. The description adds minimal extra meaning by mapping actions to required parameters (e.g., name for remember_pattern), but this is also implied by the schema's required field logic. Thus, it meets the baseline without significantly enhancing semantics.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it is a unified codebase tool with three specific actions: storing code patterns, storing architectural decisions, and retrieving patterns/decisions. It distinguishes between these actions but does not differentiate from sibling tools beyond listing them.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not include any 'when to use' or 'when not to use' context, nor does it mention exclusions or prerequisites.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
