Onboarding compression

Without Klio

New people learn a codebase by making its old mistakes. The context that would prevent that lives in departed teammates, closed PRs and channels nobody rereads.

With Klio in the loop

1. 1

   The team’s decisions, constraints and rejected approaches accumulate in shared memory as a side effect of working.

2. 2

   A new teammate connects their agent to the project.

3. 3

   Their first recall returns the settled decisions and live constraints — the parts of onboarding nobody ever writes down.

The call an agent makes

recall(
  {
    "query": "how do we handle auth errors in the API?"
  }
)

Real tool, illustrative payload. The full contract for every tool is in the docs.

What changes

Day one starts from the team’s current understanding, not from an archaeology project.
