cf-scan

# $cf-scan > **CLI Requirement:** OPTIONAL — Uses the memory MCP from `coding-friend-cli` for fast indexed search and storage. Without the CLI: falls back to grep over `docs/memory/` and direct file writes. Full functionality preserved, slower memory recall. See [CLI requirements](../../../docs/cli-requirements.md). Scan the project and bootstrap the memory system. User input: **$ARGUMENTS** ## Purpose New projects start with empty memory. This skill scans the codebase, extracts structured knowledge (architecture, conventions, tech stack, features, infrastructure), and stores it as memories. Safe to run multiple times — existing memories are updated, not duplicated. ## Folder Output goes to `{docsDir}/memory/` (default: `docs/memory/`). Check `.coding-friend/config.json` for custom `docsDir` if it exists. **IMPORTANT — path resolution:** - Use `MAIN_REPO_ROOT` from the SessionStart bootstrap context (injected via session-init.sh). If absent, fall back to running `pwd` for `$CWD` and use `$CWD` as `MAIN_REPO_ROOT`. - Read config from `CF_CONFIG_FILE` (= `$MAIN_REPO_ROOT/.coding-friend/config.json`) — do NOT search sub-folders - Use `CF_DOCS_ROOT` as the docs base dir (= `$MAIN_REPO_ROOT/{docsDir}` where `docsDir` comes from config, default `docs`) - Always resolve `file_path` as an **absolute path**: `{CF_DOCS_ROOT}/memory/{category}/{name}.md` - Never use relative paths in write specs — they may resolve incorrectly when the working directory contains nested git repos ...
