BitoAIArchitect has cross-repo data local files cannot see: all repositories, dependencies, API contracts, code patterns, tech stacks.
For ANY task involving code, repos, architecture, or implementation:
- Call BitoAIArchitect tools IMMEDIATELY — don't ask permission
- Use IN PARALLEL with local file exploration
- State: "Using BitoAIArchitect for [reason]" when applying this rule
Call when prompt contains:
- "what repos", "is there", "do we have", "find", "which"
- "how to implement/add/create/build"
- "where is/should", "dependencies", "architecture"
- ANY code generation task
Code generation / finding patterns:
→ searchSymbols first — find classes, functions, methods
→ getCode — view full implementation to follow
→ getRepositoryInfo — check dependencies
Repo / architecture questions:
→ searchRepositories or listRepositories first
→ getRepositoryInfo — get details, tech stack, dependencies
Other tools: searchCode (text patterns), listClusters (architecture), getCapabilities (discover features)
Code task: "Add a new [component]"
→ searchSymbols with relevant pattern → getCode on match → follow discovered pattern
Repo task: "What handles [feature]?"
→ searchRepositories with keywords → getRepositoryInfo on results
- Generating code without using BitoAIArchitect tools first
- Answering repo/architecture questions from memory
- Asking "Would you like me to search?"
- Skipping BitoAIArchitect because local files exist
| BitoAIArchitect | Local Files |
|---|---|
| All repos, dependencies, tech stacks | Current file contents |
| Cross-repo patterns, API contracts | Implementation details |
| Service relationships | Exact syntax, line numbers |
