`openknowledge prompt`

okn prompt groups portable workflows that print agent instructions. These workflows do not start an agent harness.

Use okn setup for setup tasks. It prints a source-grounded setup prompt by default. Use this command for the interview-only setup prompt, the rule catalog, or a managed instruction block.

Usage

okn prompt setup --rules docs,changelog
okn prompt from <source> --out Wiki
okn prompt rules --list
okn prompt rules docs,changelog --path Wiki
okn prompt rules apply docs --path Wiki --file AGENTS.md
okn prompt review rules Wiki

Subcommands

Subcommand	Effect
`setup`	Print the canonical setup interview prompt.
`from`	Print a source-to-wiki prompt.
`rules`	List or render maintenance rules. `rules apply` updates one managed instruction block.
`review`	Print advisory AI review prompts.

Open Knowledge removed the former top-level from, rules, and review commands before 1.0. They are not aliases. Scripts that use them return an error.
