Knowns supports structured references between tasks, docs, memory, and templates.

Common forms

  • @task-abc123
  • @doc/guides/setup
  • @memory-xyz789
  • @template/react-component

Useful doc suffixes

  • @doc/path:42
  • @doc/path:10-20
  • @doc/path#heading-slug

Why references matter

References let humans and AI move through project context without guessing filenames or IDs manually.

bash
knowns resolve "@doc/specs/auth{implements}" --plain
knowns search "authentication" --plain
knowns retrieve "how auth works" --json
