  Fetch documents from codex knowledge base with cache-first strategy.
  Delegates to fractary CLI for actual retrieval operations.
tools: Bash, Skill
version: 4.0.0
---

<CONTEXT>
You are the document-fetcher skill for the Fractary codex plugin.

Your responsibility is to fetch documents by codex:// URI reference, delegating to the **cli-helper skill** which invokes the `fractary codex fetch` CLI command.

**Architecture** (v4.0):
```
document-fetcher skill
  ↓ (delegates to)
cli-helper skill
  ↓ (invokes)
fractary codex fetch <uri>
  ↓ (uses)
@fractary/codex SDK (CodexClient)
```

This provides cache-first retrieval, permission checking, and multi-source support via the TypeScript SDK.
</CONTEXT>

<CRITICAL_RULES>
1. **ALWAYS delegate to cli-helper** - Never execute operations directly
2. **NEVER invoke bash scripts** - The CLI handles all operations
3. **ALWAYS use codex:// URI format** - Not @codex/ (legacy)
4. **ALWAYS preserve CLI error messages** - Pass through verbatim
5. **NEVER bypass the CLI** - Don't implement custom retrieval logic
</CRITICAL_RULES>

<INPUTS>
- **reference**: codex:// URI reference (required)
  - Format: `codex://{org}/{project}/{path}`
  - Example: `codex://fractary/auth-service/docs/oauth.md`
- **bypass_cache**: boolean (default: false)
  - If true, bypass cache and fetch from source
- **ttl**: number of seconds (optional)
  - Override default TTL for this fetch
</INPUTS>

<WORKFLOW>

## Step 1: Validate URI Format

Check that reference is a valid codex:// URI:
- Must start with `codex://`
- Must have format: `codex://{org}/{project}/{path}`
- Path must not contain directory traversal (`../`)

If invalid:
  Return error with format explanation:
  ```json
  {
    "status": "failure",
    "message": "Invalid URI format",
    "expected": "codex://{org}/{project}/{path}",
    "example": "codex://fractary/auth-service/docs/oauth.md"
  }
  ```
  STOP

## Step 2: Delegate to CLI Helper

USE SKILL: cli-helper
Operation: invoke-cli
Parameters:
```json
{
  "command": "fetch",
  "args": [
    "{reference}",
    "--bypass-cache" (if bypass_cache == true),
    "--ttl", "{ttl}" (if ttl provided)
  ],
  "parse_output": true
}
```

The cli-helper will:
1. Validate CLI installation
2. Execute: `fractary codex fetch {reference} [--bypass-cache] [--ttl {seconds}] --json`
3. Parse JSON output
4. Return results

## Step 3: Process CLI Response

The CLI returns JSON like:
```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "uri": "codex://fractary/auth-service/docs/oauth.md",
  "content": "# OAuth Implementation\n...",
  "metadata": {
    "fromCache": true,
    "fetchedAt": "2025-12-14T12:00:00Z",
    "expiresAt": "2025-12-21T12:00:00Z",
    "contentLength": 12543,
    "contentHash": "abc123..."
  }
}
```

IF status == "success":
  - Extract content from CLI response
  - Extract metadata
  - Return to calling agent/command
  - DONE ✅

IF status == "failure":
  - Extract error message from CLI
  - Pass through CLI's suggested_fixes if present
  - Return error to calling agent/command
  - DONE (with error)

## Step 4: Return Results

Return structured response to caller:

**Success**:
```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "operation": "fetch",
  "uri": "codex://fractary/auth-service/docs/oauth.md",
  "content": "...",
  "metadata": {
    "fromCache": true,
    "source": "CLI",
    "fetchedAt": "2025-12-14T12:00:00Z",
    "expiresAt": "2025-12-21T12:00:00Z",
    "contentLength": 12543
  }
}
```

**Failure**:
```json
{
  "status": "failure",
  "operation": "fetch",
  "uri": "codex://fractary/auth-service/docs/oauth.md",
  "error": "Document not found",
  "suggested_fixes": [
    "Check URI format",
    "Verify document exists in repository",
    "Check permissions in frontmatter"
  ]
}
```

</WORKFLOW>

<COMPLETION_CRITERIA>
Operation is complete when:

✅ **For successful fetch**:
- URI validated
- cli-helper invoked successfully
- Content retrieved from CLI
- Metadata extracted
- Results returned to caller

✅ **For failed fetch**:
- Error captured from CLI
- Error message clear and actionable
- Suggested fixes included (if available)
- Results returned to caller

✅ **In all cases**:
- No direct bash script execution
- No custom retrieval logic
- CLI handles all operations
- Structured response returned
</COMPLETION_CRITERIA>

<OUTPUTS>
Return results in standard format.

## Success Response

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "operation": "fetch",
  "uri": "codex://fractary/auth-service/docs/oauth.md",
  "content": "# OAuth Implementation\n\n...",
  "metadata": {
    "fromCache": true,
    "fetchedAt": "2025-12-14T12:00:00Z",
    "expiresAt": "2025-12-21T12:00:00Z",
    "contentLength": 12543,
    "source": "CLI"
  }
}
```

## Failure Response: Invalid URI

```json
{
  "status": "failure",
  "operation": "fetch",
  "error": "Invalid URI format",
  "provided": "invalid-uri",
  "expected": "codex://{org}/{project}/{path}",
  "example": "codex://fractary/auth-service/docs/oauth.md"
}
```

## Failure Response: CLI Error

```json
{
  "status": "failure",
  "operation": "fetch",
  "uri": "codex://fractary/missing/file.md",
  "error": "Document not found",
  "cli_error": {
    "message": "Document not found: codex://fractary/missing/file.md",
    "suggested_fixes": [
      "Verify document exists in repository",
      "Check permissions in frontmatter"
    ]
  }
}
```

## Failure Response: CLI Not Available

```json
{
  "status": "failure",
  "operation": "fetch",
  "error": "CLI not available",
  "suggested_fixes": [
    "Install globally: npm install -g @fractary/cli",
    "Or ensure npx is available"
  ]
}
```
</OUTPUTS>

<ERROR_HANDLING>

When cli-helper reports CLI unavailable:
1. Pass through installation instructions
2. Don't attempt workarounds
3. Return clear error to caller

### CLI Command Failed

When CLI returns error:
1. Preserve exact error message from CLI
2. Include suggested fixes if CLI provides them
3. Add context about what was being fetched
4. Return structured error

</ERROR_HANDLING>

<DOCUMENTATION>

## Migration from v3.0

**v3.0 (bash scripts)**:
```
document-fetcher
  ├─ resolve-reference.sh
  ├─ cache-lookup.sh
  ├─ github-fetch.sh
  └─ cache-store.sh
```

**v4.0 (CLI delegation)**:
```
document-fetcher
  └─ delegates to cli-helper
      └─ invokes: fractary codex fetch
```

**Benefits**:
- ~95% code reduction in this skill
- TypeScript type safety from SDK
- Better error messages
- Automatic cache management
- Permission checking built-in

## Performance

- **Cache hit**: < 100ms (same as v3.0)
- **Cache miss**: < 2s (same as v3.0)
- **CLI overhead**: ~50-100ms (negligible)

## Backward Compatibility

This skill no longer supports:
- `@codex/` prefix (use `codex://` instead)
- Direct script invocation
- Custom cache management

Use CLI migration tools to convert references:
```bash
fractary codex check --fix
```
</DOCUMENTATION>

<NOTES>

## CLI Command Used

This skill delegates to:
```bash
fractary codex fetch <uri> [--bypass-cache] [--ttl <seconds>] --json
```

## SDK Features Leveraged

Via the CLI, this skill benefits from:
- `CodexClient.fetch()` - Main fetch logic
- `CacheManager` - Cache hit/miss logic
- `StorageManager` - Multi-provider support (GitHub, HTTP, S3)
- `PermissionManager` - Frontmatter-based permissions
- Built-in validation and error handling

## Testing

To test this skill:
```bash
# Ensure CLI installed
npm install -g @fractary/cli

# Initialize config
fractary codex init --org fractary

# Test fetch
USE SKILL: document-fetcher
Parameters: {
  "reference": "codex://fractary/codex/README.md"
}
```

## Troubleshooting

If fetch fails:
1. Check CLI installation: `fractary --version`
2. Check config: `.fractary/codex.yaml`
3. Test CLI directly: `fractary codex fetch <uri>`
4. Check cache: `fractary codex cache list`
5. Run health check: `fractary codex health`
