Embed a real-time shared context mechanism (coordination/discoveries.ndjson) into all 4 agent roles, eliminating redundant codebase exploration. Each agent reads the board on start, skips covered areas, and appends new findings as NDJSON entries for other agents to consume. Key additions per file: - SKILL.md: Design principle #8, discovery type table with dedup keys and required data fields, board lifecycle rules - 02-agent-execution.md: Self-sufficient discovery protocol snippet in each spawn prompt with write method, required fields, and dedup keys - 4 role files: Full Shared Discovery Protocol section with board location, lifecycle, physical write method (Bash echo >>), reads/writes tables with dedup keys and required data schemas, and embedded Read/Write steps in execution process

🛠️ CLI Tool Installation
| CLI | Description | Official Docs |
|---|---|---|
| Gemini | Google AI analysis | google-gemini/gemini-cli |
| Codex | OpenAI autonomous coding | openai/codex |
| OpenCode | Open-source multi-model | opencode-ai/opencode |
| Qwen | Alibaba Qwen-Code | QwenLM/Qwen |
🎭 Semantic CLI Invocation
Users can semantically specify CLI tools in prompts - the system automatically invokes the corresponding CLI.
Basic Invocation
| User Prompt | System Action |
|---|---|
| "Use Gemini to analyze the auth module" | Auto-invoke gemini CLI for analysis |
| "Let Codex review this code" | Auto-invoke codex CLI for review |
| "Ask Qwen about performance optimization" | Auto-invoke qwen CLI for consultation |
Multi-CLI Orchestration
| Pattern | User Prompt Example |
|---|---|
| Collaborative | "Use Gemini and Codex to collaboratively analyze security vulnerabilities" |
| Parallel | "Have Gemini, Codex, and Qwen analyze the architecture in parallel" |
| Iterative | "Use Gemini to diagnose, then Codex to fix, iterate until resolved" |
| Pipeline | "Gemini designs the solution, Codex implements, Claude reviews" |
📝 More Examples
# Single CLI invocation
User: "Use Gemini to analyze the database query performance"
→ System auto-calls: gemini CLI with analysis task
# Collaborative analysis
User: "Use Gemini and Codex to collaboratively review the authentication flow"
→ System auto-calls: gemini + codex CLIs, synthesizes results
# Parallel multi-perspective
User: "Have all available CLIs analyze this architecture design in parallel"
→ System auto-calls: gemini, codex, qwen in parallel → merged report
# Sequential pipeline
User: "Use Gemini to plan the refactoring, then Codex to implement it"
→ System auto-calls: gemini (plan) → codex (implement) sequentially
Custom CLI Registration
Register any API as a custom CLI via Dashboard interface:
ccw view # Open Dashboard → Status → API Settings → Add Custom CLI
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Name | deepseek |
| Endpoint | https://api.deepseek.com/v1/chat |
| API Key | your-api-key |
⚙️ Register once, invoke semantically forever - no code changes needed.
🔍 ACE Tool Configuration
ACE (Augment Context Engine) provides powerful semantic code search.

📚 CodexLens Local Search
⚠️ In Development: CodexLens is under iterative optimization. Some features may be unstable.
| Search Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| FTS | Full-text search, based on SQLite FTS5 |
| Semantic | Semantic search, using local embedding models |
| Hybrid | Hybrid search, combining FTS + Semantic + Reranking |
📦 Installation
# Enter codex-lens directory
cd codex-lens
# Install dependencies
pip install -e .
# Initialize index
codexlens index /path/to/project
Open Dashboard via ccw view, manage indexes and execute searches in CodexLens Manager.
💻 CCW CLI Commands
🌟 Recommended Commands (Main Features)
| Command | Description | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| /ccw | Auto workflow orchestrator - analyzes intent, selects workflow level, executes command chain in main process | ✅ General tasks, auto workflow selection, quick development |
| /ccw-coordinator | Smart orchestrator - intelligently recommends command chains, allows manual adjustment, executes via external CLI with state persistence | 🔧 Complex multi-step workflows, customizable chains, resumable sessions |
Quick Examples:
# /ccw - Auto workflow selection (Main Process)
/ccw "Add user authentication" # Auto-selects workflow based on intent
/ccw "Fix memory leak in WebSocket" # Detects bugfix workflow
/ccw "Implement with TDD" # Routes to TDD workflow
# /ccw-coordinator - Manual chain orchestration (External CLI)
/ccw-coordinator "Implement OAuth2 system" # Analyzes → Recommends chain → User confirms → Executes
Key Differences:
| Aspect | /ccw | /ccw-coordinator |
|---|---|---|
| Execution | Main process (SlashCommand) | External CLI (background tasks) |
| Selection | Auto intent-based | Smart recommendation + optional adjustment |
| State | TodoWrite tracking | Persistent state.json |
| Use Case | General tasks, quick dev | Complex chains, resumable |
Other CLI Commands

ccw view # Open dashboard
ccw cli -p "..." # Execute CLI tools (Gemini/Qwen/Codex)
ccw upgrade -a # Upgrade all installations
