Lore

Slot external knowledge into Rune constructs.

Usage

# Interactive mode
/lore

# With source
/lore --source "curl -s https://animations.dev/... | bash"
/lore --source ./local-patterns/
/lore --url https://example.com/guide.md

# Specify target construct
/lore --construct glyph

Purpose

Add external expertise (courses, best practices, patterns) to enhance a Rune construct. Unlike continuous-learning (which captures organic discoveries), enhance imports curated external knowledge.

Workflow

Step 1: Acquire Source

Identify the knowledge source:

Step 2: Map to Construct

Determine which construct this knowledge enhances:

Step 3: Slot In

Install to .claude/references/{source-name}/:

mkdir -p .claude/references/{source-name}
# Copy/download content

Step 4: Wire to Rules

Update relevant rules to reference the new knowledge:

# In rules/glyph/05-glyph-animation.md

## External Reference

See `references/design-engineering/animations.md` for:
- Easing curve selection (ease-out for enters, ease-in-out for moves)
- Spring physics (stiffness 100-500, damping 10-40)
- Performance (transform + opacity only)

Example: animations.dev

Source: Emil Kowalski's Design Engineering course

curl -s "https://animations.dev/api/activate-design-engineering?email=..." | bash

Mapping: -> Glyph (animation, material, practices)

Installed to: .claude/references/design-engineering/

Files:

• SKILL.md - Overview, quick reference, review checklist
• animations.md - Easing, timing, springs
• ui-polish.md - Typography, shadows, gradients
• forms-controls.md - Inputs, buttons, validation
• touch-accessibility.md - Mobile, keyboard, a11y
• component-design.md - Composition, compound components

• performance.md - Virtualization, preloading

• rules/glyph/07-glyph-practices.md

Reference Index

Conflict Resolution

When external knowledge conflicts with existing rules:

1. Physics table wins - Core timing/sync from 01-glyph-physics.md is authoritative
2. External refines - External knowledge provides implementation detail
3. Note overrides - If external contradicts, note in rules with rationale

Example:

# rules/glyph/05-glyph-animation.md

## Timing

Physics table: 200ms for Standard effects.
Emil recommends: 150-250ms for user-initiated.

**Resolution**: Use 200ms (physics), within Emil's range.

Updating References

When source releases updates:

# Re-fetch
/lore --source "curl -s https://..." --update

# Or manually
rm -rf .claude/references/{source}
# Re-install
