This epic makes it PROACTIVE with a structured molecule:\n\n```\nDeacon Wake\n├── Step 0: Session Check (should I cycle myself?)\n├── Step 1: Health Scan (Mayor, Witnesses, Crew, Refineries)\n├── Step 2: Lifecycle Processing (cycle/restart/shutdown requests)\n├── Step 3: Plugin Execution (scheduled, event-triggered, human-requested)\n├── Step 4: Event Callbacks (timers, subscriptions)\n└── Step 5: Heartbeat + Wait\n```\n\n## Key Design Decisions\n\n1. **Session cycling first** - Token costs are quadratic with session length.\n   Deacon should aggressively cycle to fresh sessions. First step of every\n   wake is \"do I need a new session?\" based on context budget.\n\n2. **Pinned bead with marching orders** - A pinned bead (like gt prime for\n   agents) defines the Deacon's rounds molecule. This is the Deacon's\n   \"kernel\" - its operating loop.\n\n3. **Keepalive file for daemon quieting** - Instead of daemon tmux-poking\n   the Deacon (which interrupts work), Deacon writes a keepalive file.\n   Daemon reads it and backs off. Worst case: Deacon forgets, gets one\n   extra heartbeat it squelches.\n\n4. **Molecule-based rounds** - The wake cycle becomes a molecule with steps.\n   Each step can have plugins (inline attention).

Overlap between gt and bd\n\n| Concept | gt | bd |\n|---------|----|----|\n| Hook | `gt hook` | `bd pin`, `bd hook` |\n| Mail | `gt mail` | `bd mail` (delegates) |\n| Molecules | `gt mol` (17 cmds) | `bd mol` (5 cmds) |\n\nWhich owns what? User confusion likely.\n\n### 3. Naming inconsistencies\n\n- `gt polecat` (noun) vs `gt spawn` (verb) - both about polecats\n- `gt done` vs `gt handoff` - both end work but different\n- `bd mol run` vs `bd pour` - both instantiate\n\n### 4. Subcommand depth decisions\n\n**Good patterns:**\n- `bd mol {catalog|show|bond|run|distill}` - coherent group\n- `gt mail {send|inbox|read|archive}` - coherent group\n\n**Questionable patterns:**\n- `bd create --wisp` AND `bd wisp create` - two ways to do same thing\n- `gt spawn --molecule X` AND `gt mol instantiate` - overlap\n\n### 5. Flag vs subcommand guidelines needed\n\nWhen to use flags vs subcommands?\n- `--json` as flag ✓ (modifier)\n- `--wisp` as flag for create? Or separate `bd wisp create`?\n- `--molecule` on spawn? Or separate workflow?\n\n## Recommendations to Evaluate\n\n### A. Consolidate gt top-level commands\n\nGroup related commands:\n```\ngt agent {mayor|deacon|witness|refinery|polecat}\ngt work {spawn|sling|hook|handoff|done}\ngt infra {daemon|up|down|doctor}\n```\n\n### B. Clarify gt vs bd ownership\n\n| Domain | Owner | Other defers |\n|--------|-------|--------------|\n| Issues | bd | gt uses bd |\n| Agents | gt | bd doesn't touch |\n| Molecules | bd mol | gt mol wraps for UX |\n| Hooks | bd pin/hook | gt hook wraps |\n| Mail | gt mail | bd mail delegates |\n\n### C. Apply consistent naming\n\n- All agent commands: nouns (`gt polecat`, `gt mayor`)\n- All work commands: verbs (`gt spawn`, `gt sling`, `gt hook`)\n- Avoid synonyms: pick one term and stick with it\n\n### D. Flag vs subcommand rule\n\n- Flags: modify behavior of command (`--json`, `--force`, `--wisp`)\n- Subcommands: distinct operations (`mol run`, `mol squash`, `mol burn`)\n- Exception: very common operations can have top-level aliases\n\n## Tasks\n\n1. [ ] Review gt command groupings - propose consolidation\n2. [ ] Review bd command groupings - check for sprawl\n3. [ ] Document gt vs bd ownership boundaries\n4. [ ] Identify and resolve naming inconsistencies\n5. [ ] Document flag vs subcommand decision criteria\n6. [ ] Create migration plan for any breaking changes\n7. [ ] Update help text to be consistent\n8. [ ] Test agent UX: can Claude guess commands correctly?\n\n## Success Criteria\n\n- New user can guess command structure intuitively\n- `gt --help` fits on one screen (or is well-categorized)\n- No duplicate functionality between gt and bd\n- Consistent naming throughout\n- Claude agents can discover commands without documentation","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-24T23:48:42.420867-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-25T12:12:21.188501-08:00","closed_at":"2025-12-25T12:12:21.188501-08:00","close_reason":"CLI API audit completed - structure reviewed and documented","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"gt-mbyy","depends_on_id":"gt-jo9n","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-12-24T23:48:52.221824-08:00","created_by":"daemon"}]}
