📖 Progressive Disclosure

Level 1: Quick Reference (Core Concepts)

Purpose: Handle template comparison and optimization workflows including backup detection, smart merging, and update completion reporting. Enhanced with Context7 MCP for up-to-date documentation.

When to Use:

✅ [Use case 1]
✅ [Use case 2]
✅ [Use case 3]

Quick Start Pattern:

# Basic example
# TODO: Add practical example

Level 2: Practical Implementation (Common Patterns)

Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Backup Discovery & Analysis

Purpose: Automatically discover and analyze existing project backups Trigger: Skill invocation or moai-adk version update detection

Process:

Backup Directory Scan

``bash # Check for .moai-backups/ directory if [ -d ".moai-backups/" ]; then # List available backups with timestamps ls -la .moai-backups/ | grep "backup-" fi ``

Backup Content Analysis

- Read backup metadata and configuration files - Identify template files vs user customizations - Analyze backup creation timestamps and versions - Detect backup completeness and integrity

Backup Selection Strategy

- Most recent backup (default) - User-specified backup version - Backup with specific features or configurations

Phase 2: Template Comparison Engine

Purpose: Detect differences between current templates and backup versions Method: Intelligent file comparison with template-aware parsing

Comparison Matrix:

File Type          | Comparison Strategy     | Merge Priority
------------------ | ----------------------- | --------------
.claude/settings.json | Structured JSON diff   | Template defaults
.moai/config.json   | User config preservation | User customizations
CLAUDE.md          | Section-based diff      | User content
Hook files         | Code-aware diff         | Template updates
Skills             | Content analysis        | Template defaults

Difference Detection:

Template Default Detection: Identify original template content
User Customization Extraction: Isolate user modifications
Version Compatibility Check: Ensure merge compatibility
Conflict Identification: Flag unresolvable differences

Phase 3: Smart Merge Algorithm

Purpose: Preserve user customizations while updating template structure Strategy: Three-way merge with intelligence

Merge Process:

Extraction Phase

```python # Extract user customizations from backup usercustomizations = extractusercontent(backupfiles)

# Get latest template defaults templatedefaults = getcurrent_templates()

# Analyze current project state currentstate = analyzecurrent_project() ```

Merge Strategy

- Template defaults: Always use latest template version - User configurations: Preserve from backup with compatibility updates - Custom content: Extract and merge with new structure - Deprecated features: Flag and offer migration options

Conflict Resolution

- Template conflicts: Prefer latest template - User config conflicts: Preserve user choice with warnings - Structural conflicts: Create merge report with resolution options

Phase 4: Template Default Detection

Purpose: Identify and preserve only non-template content during updates Method: Pattern recognition and content analysis

Detection Patterns:

Template Indicators          | User Content Indicators
---------------------------- | -------------------------
"my-awesome-project"          | Specific project names
"en" | Actual language codes
"src/moai_adk/templates/"  | Custom file paths
Template placeholders       | Real configuration values
Default examples           | Custom implementations

Content Classification:

Template Content: Default placeholders, examples, standard structure
User Content: Custom configurations, specific implementations, personal settings
Mixed Content: Template files with user modifications (requires careful extraction)

Phase 5: Version Management & History

Purpose: Maintain version tracking and update history sections Output: Comprehensive update reports and history tracking

Version Tracking:

{
  "template_version": "0.17.0",
  "previous_version": "0.16.0",
  "update_timestamp": "2025-11-05T12:00:00Z",
  "backup_used": "backup-2025-10-15-v0.16.0",
  "optimization_applied": true
}

HISTORY Section Updates:

Document template version changes
Track optimization procedures applied
Record user customizations preserved
Note any manual interventions required

Phase 6: Configuration Updates

Purpose: Update project configuration with optimization flags and metadata Target: .moai/config/config.json and related configuration files

Optimization Configuration:

{
  "template_optimization": {
    "last_optimized": "2025-11-05T12:00:00Z",
    "backup_version": "backup-2025-10-15-v0.16.0",
    "template_version": "0.17.0",
    "customizations_preserved": ["language", "team_settings", "domains"],
    "optimization_flags": {
      "merge_applied": true,
      "conflicts_resolved": 0,
      "user_content_extracted": true
    }
  }
}
