tegwick ad87153f2f Implement registration UX wishlist W1–W6 (260224)
W1: Document user-scope MCP config location in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md —
    adds verification and re-registration commands, warns against
    settings.json (saves ~12K tokens per registration session).

W2: scripts/register_project.sh + make register-project —
    5-step automation: API health → topic lookup → MCP check →
    CLAUDE.md from template → progress event.

W3: state-hub/scripts/project_claude_md.template —
    parameterised CLAUDE.md with {PROJECT_NAME}/{DOMAIN}/{TOPIC_ID}
    placeholders; used by register_project.sh.

W4: Add custodian_topic_id + domain to all 6 canon project charters —
    lets agents grep for topic IDs without touching the API.

W5: state-hub/mcp_server/TOOLS.md — compact 30-line tool reference
    card; replaces reading the full server.py (~350 lines).

W6: Switch .mcp.json to absolute path + PYTHONPATH env so cwd is not
    required; add scripts/patch_mcp_cwd.py for post-registration fix.
    Update ~/.claude.json to match (cwd kept for belt-and-suspenders).

W7 (SessionStart hook) deferred: no SessionStart hook type in Claude
    Code; PreToolUse with empty matcher fires before every tool call.

State Hub MCP — Tool Reference Card

Quick reference for all 11 tools and 5 resources. Read this instead of server.py.

Query Tools (read-only)

Tool Key Args When to use
get_state_summary() Session start. Full snapshot: totals, blocking decisions, blocked tasks, open workstreams, last 20 events.
get_topic(slug) slug: e.g. "markitect" Deep-dive on one topic + its workstreams + recent events.
list_blocked_tasks(workstream_id?) optional filter Surface all impediments, optionally scoped to one workstream.
list_pending_decisions(topic_id?) optional filter Decisions holding up work, sorted by deadline.
get_recent_progress(limit, since?) limit default 20; since ISO datetime Reconstruct recent session history.

Mutate Tools (each auto-emits a progress_event)

Tool Key Args Notes
create_task(workstream_id, title, ...) priority: low/medium/high/critical; assignee?; due_date? Creates task under a workstream.
update_task_status(task_id, status, ...) status: todo/in_progress/blocked/done/cancelled; blocking_reason required when blocked
record_decision(title, ...) decision_type: made/pending; topic_id?; workstream_id?; deadline? Financial/legal + pending → auto-escalated per constitution §4. At least one of topic_id/workstream_id required.
resolve_decision(decision_id, rationale, decided_by) all required Marks decision resolved and records who decided.
add_progress_event(summary, ...) event_type: note/milestone/blocker/insight; topic_id?; workstream_id?; task_id?; detail? Append-only log entry. Use at session end.
update_workstream_status(workstream_id, status) status: active/blocked/completed/archived

Resources (URI-addressable, read-only)

URI Returns
state://summary Full StateSummary JSON
state://topics Active topics list
state://workstreams/{topic_slug} Workstreams for a topic (by slug)
state://decisions/blocking All pending decisions
state://tasks/blocked All blocked tasks

Domain Slugs

custodian · railiance · markitect · coulomb-social · personhood · foerster-capabilities

Common Patterns

# New workstream (via API — no MCP tool yet):
# POST /workstreams/ {"topic_id": "...", "slug": "...", "title": "...", "status": "active", "owner": "..."}

# Session start ritual:
get_state_summary()

# Session end ritual:
add_progress_event(
    summary="...",
    event_type="note",          # or milestone / insight / blocker
    topic_id="<uuid>",
    workstream_id="<uuid>",     # optional
    detail={"key": "value"},    # optional structured data
)
