# MarkiTect - Next Session Priorities

**Updated:** 2025-10-25
**Status:** Capability Inclusion Management System Complete
**Next Focus:** Strategic Development Execution

## High Priority (Next Session Focus)

### 1. Strategic Issue Resolution 🎯
**Priority: CRITICAL**
- Resume work on core functionality backlog
- Target: Issue #15 (AST Query and Analysis CLI) or Issue #16 (Performance Validation CLI)
- Use new capability inclusion workflow to prevent duplication
- Leverage CLAUDE_CAPABILITY_REFERENCE.md for quick capability lookup

### 2. Capability Management Validation 🔍
**Priority: HIGH**
- Test the new discovery tools (`make capability-search TERM=xyz`) in real development
- Validate workflow effectiveness during actual implementation
- Refine documentation based on practical usage
- Ensure AI assistants properly utilize the new capability references

### 3. Documentation Integration ✅
**Priority: MEDIUM**
- Update any missing links in existing documentation to new capability system
- Ensure all agents are aware of capability inclusion workflow
- Validate that CAPABILITY_DOCUMENTATION_INDEX.md provides effective navigation

## Development Strategy

### Capability-First Development
1. **Before implementing anything new:**
   - Check CAPABILITIES.md for internal capabilities
   - Check CAPABILITY_REGISTRY.md for external capabilities
   - Use `make capability-search TERM=xyz` for discovery
   - Consult CLAUDE_CAPABILITY_REFERENCE.md for patterns

2. **During implementation:**
   - Update capability documentation if creating new capabilities
   - Follow CAPABILITY_INCLUSION_GUIDE.md workflow
   - Document any new external dependencies in CAPABILITY_REGISTRY.md

3. **After implementation:**
   - Update CAPABILITIES.md if internal capabilities were added
   - Ensure proper categorization in documentation ecosystem

### Next Major Milestones

#### Immediate (1-2 Sessions)
- **Complete Issue #15 or #16**: Demonstrate capability management system in practice
- **Validate Discovery Tools**: Ensure automated detection prevents duplication
- **Refine Workflow**: Based on real-world usage patterns

#### Short Term (3-5 Sessions)
- **Schema-Driven Architecture**: Issues #5, #7, #8 (Milestone #2)
- **Template Generation**: Issue #6 (Milestone #3)
- **Advanced Querying**: Complete AST analysis capabilities

#### Medium Term (6-10 Sessions)
- **Document Relationships**: Issue #4, advanced relationship mapping
- **Performance Optimization**: Based on Issue #16 implementation
- **Plugin Architecture**: Issue #19 and extensibility framework

## Session Success Criteria

### Must Achieve
- [ ] Complete one core functionality issue using capability inclusion workflow
- [ ] Demonstrate prevention of code duplication through discovery tools
- [ ] Validate documentation ecosystem effectiveness

### Should Achieve
- [ ] Update capability documentation with any new functionality
- [ ] Refine workflow based on practical experience
- [ ] Maintain green test state throughout development

### Could Achieve
- [ ] Begin next milestone planning
- [ ] Enhance discovery tools based on usage patterns
- [ ] Improve AI assistant integration with capability system

## Known Context

### Current State
- **Capability Management**: Complete documentation ecosystem established
- **Discovery Tools**: Automated prevention of code duplication
- **Architectural Clarity**: Clear separation of internal vs external capabilities
- **Test State**: All tests passing (last known: 348 tests across 27 files)
- **Git State**: Modified files ready for commit (capability inclusion system)

### Available Resources
- **Complete capability documentation** in 5 interconnected files
- **Automated discovery tools** via Makefile targets
- **Enhanced agent definitions** with capability inclusion workflow
- **Comprehensive test coverage** across all components

### Development Environment
- **Ubuntu 24.04** with complete development environment
- **Python virtual environment** properly configured
- **Git submodules** (issue-facade, wiki) properly integrated
- **All dependencies** installed and validated

## Next Session Preparation

### Pre-Session Setup
1. Ensure git status is clean (commit capability inclusion system)
2. Run `make test` to validate green state
3. Review CLAUDE_CAPABILITY_REFERENCE.md for quick capability overview
4. Select target issue for implementation

### Session Approach
1. **Start with capability discovery** before any implementation
2. **Use new workflow** from CAPABILITY_INCLUSION_GUIDE.md
3. **Document any new capabilities** as they're created
4. **Validate discovery tools** prevent accidental duplication

### Success Indicators
- New functionality implemented without duplicating existing capabilities
- Discovery tools successfully prevent code duplication
- Documentation ecosystem proves valuable for development efficiency
- AI assistants effectively use capability references for informed decisions
