Information Retrieval (get/show)

Most information commands come in pairs:

get (JSON)	show (Formatted)	Information
`get modules`	`show modules`	Module contracts
`get dependencies`	`show dependencies`	Dependency graph
`get files`	`show files`	File ownership
`get config`	`show config`	Configuration
`get tests`	`show tests`	Test information

Rule: Use get for automation, show for interactive and templated markdown use.

Quality Gates (validate/scan/test)

Quality commands all validate different aspects:

validate: Repository structure and contracts
scan: Security issues and compliance
test: Functional correctness

Use in: Pre-commit hooks, CI pipelines, release gates

Workflow (work/pipeline/release)

Workflow commands manage different stages:

work: Local development (git worktrees)
pipeline: CI/CD execution
release: Version management
