This ensures that new files added to project folders are automatically indexed and synchronized to the appropriate knowledge bases. + +## Problem + +Previously, when a new project was initialized with `initialize-project`, the system would: +1. ✓ Register 4 MCPs (knowledge_docs, project_profile, project_index, project_memories) +2. ✓ Generate documentation files +3. ✓ Index source code files +4. ✓ Install git post-commit hooks +5. ✗ **NOT** configure KB folder watchers + +This meant that even though the MCPs were created and indexed, **new files added to the project would NOT be automatically ingested** unless the user manually enabled hooks via the API. + +## Solution + +Modified `/Users/iamanmp/.claude/skills/initialize-project/analyze_project.py` to add: + +### 1. New Method: `_setup_kb_hooks()` +Automatically configures file watcher hooks for each MCP type: + +```python +def _setup_kb_hooks(self) -> Dict: + """Setup automatic file watcher hooks for each MCP type.""" +``` + +**Behavior:** +- **knowledge_docs**: Watches for existing `docs/`, `documentation/`, or `knowledge_docs/` folders; creates `docs/` if none exist +- **project_profile**: Watches `.claude-os/project-profile/` +- **project_index**: Watches `.claude-os/project-index/` +- **project_memories**: Watches `.claude-os/memories/` + +Creates folders automatically if they don't exist. + +### 2. New Method: `_start_file_watcher()` +Starts the global file watcher service for the project: + +```python +def _start_file_watcher(self) -> bool: + """Start the file watcher for automatic folder synchronization.""" +``` + +Makes REST API call to `POST /api/watcher/start/{project_id}` + +### 3.

When users run `initialize-project` in the future: + +1. All file watchers will be automatically configured +2. No manual hook setup will be required +3.
