  • Commit message: feat(acms): implement context CLI commands and analysis interface
  • Branch name: feat/v3.4.0-context-cli-analysis-interface

Background and Context

As part of the v3.4.0 milestone (M5: ACMS v1 + Context Scaling), the Advanced Context Management System requires a user-facing CLI interface for managing and inspecting context. Without a CLI, users have no way to observe what context is indexed, add new context entries, inspect assembled views, or clear stale context — making ACMS a black box.

This Epic covers the user-facing interface layer of ACMS v1:

  • context list: Lists all indexed context entries with metadata (path, tier, size, last accessed)
  • context add: Adds a file or directory to the ACMS index with optional tags and policy hints
  • context show: Displays the assembled context view for a given view name, showing what would be sent to an LLM
  • context clear: Removes context entries from the index (by path, tag, or tier)
  • Context analysis: Produces meaningful summaries of the current context state — entry counts, tier distribution, budget utilization, top files by access frequency

This Epic BLOCKS Legendary #8495.

Expected Behavior

When this Epic is complete:

  • context list displays all indexed entries with tier, size, and access metadata
  • context add <path> successfully indexes a file or directory into ACMS
  • context show <view> displays the assembled, budget-constrained context for the named view
  • context clear removes entries by path, tag, or tier with confirmation prompt
  • Context analysis output is human-readable and provides actionable insight into context state
  • All CLI commands have --help documentation and consistent output formatting

Acceptance Criteria

  • context list command lists all indexed entries with metadata (path, tier, size, last accessed)
  • context add <path> indexes a file or directory into ACMS with optional --tag and --policy flags
  • context show <view> displays the assembled context view with budget utilization summary
  • context clear removes entries by --path, --tag, or --tier with --yes bypass for confirmation
  • Context analysis produces a summary with: entry count, tier distribution, budget utilization, top files
  • All commands have --help output with usage examples
  • CLI output is consistently formatted (table/JSON switchable via --format)
  • Unit and integration tests cover all CLI commands and analysis output
  • Test coverage for this Epic's code >= 97%

Subtasks

  • Implement context list command (tabular output with tier, size, last-accessed columns)
  • Implement context add command (file/directory indexing with --tag, --policy flags)
  • Implement context show command (assembled view display with budget utilization summary)
  • Implement context clear command (path/tag/tier filtering with confirmation prompt)
  • Implement context analysis engine (entry count, tier distribution, budget utilization, top files)
  • Implement --format flag for JSON/table output switching across all commands
  • Write --help documentation for all four commands
  • Write unit tests for each CLI command (happy path + error cases)
  • Write integration tests for end-to-end CLI workflows
  • Manual QA: verify all commands work against a real 10,000+ file project index

Child Issues / Child Epics

This Epic will be decomposed into child Feature/Task issues.

  • Child issues TBD during sprint planning

Definition of Done

This Epic is closed when:

  1. All subtasks above are completed and merged
  2. All acceptance criteria are verified and checked off
  3. All four CLI commands (list, add, show, clear) are functional and tested
  4. Context analysis produces meaningful, human-readable summaries
  5. Test coverage >= 97% for all code introduced in this Epic
  6. Legendary #8495 is updated to reflect this Epic's completion

[AUTO-OWNR-4] Triage Decision

Status: Verified

MoSCoW: Must Have
Priority: High

Rationale: This Epic directly satisfies the v3.4.0 milestone acceptance criteria: "Context assembly CLI functional (context list/add/show/clear)" and "Context analysis produces meaningful summaries". The CLI is the user-facing interface that makes ACMS observable and operable — without it, ACMS is a black box with no user control. Priority is High (not Critical) because the underlying indexing (#8496) and assembly pipeline (#8497) must exist first; the CLI depends on those layers. It blocks Legendary #8495.

Next Steps: Decompose into child Feature/Task issues during sprint planning. Key deliverables: context list, context add, context show, context clear commands, context analysis engine, --format flag (table/JSON), --help documentation, and full unit + integration test coverage ≥ 97%.
