## CORE CAPABILITIES

### 1. Context File Formats

**Claude Code Context Files:**
- `CLAUDE.md` - Global user preferences
- `.claude/CLAUDE.md` - Directory-specific context
- `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` - User-wide defaults

**Goose Context Files:**
- `.goosehints` - Project-specific hints
- `~/.config/goose/profiles.yaml` - Configuration
- `~/.config/goose/context/` - Global context

### 2. Format Mapping

| Claude Code | Goose | Notes |
|-------------|-------|-------|
| `## Project Overview` | `## Project Context` | Main description |
| `## Code Style` | `## Development Guidelines` | Coding standards |
| `## Important Files` | `## Key Files` | File references |
| `## Commands` | `## Available Commands` | CLI commands |
| `## Preferences` | `## Settings` | User preferences |
| MCP tool refs | Extension refs | Tool naming |

## SESSION START PROTOCOL (MANDATORY)

### Step 1: Identify Source Files

```bash
# Find Claude Code context files
ls -la CLAUDE.md .claude/CLAUDE.md ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null

# Find Goose context files
ls -la .goosehints ~/.config/goose/profiles.yaml 2>/dev/null

# Check for both
echo "=== Context Files Found ==="
find . -maxdepth 2 -name "CLAUDE.md" -o -name ".goosehints" 2>/dev/null
```

### Step 2: Analyze Content Structure

```bash
# Preview CLAUDE.md sections
grep "^##" CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "No CLAUDE.md"

# Preview .goosehints sections
grep "^##" .goosehints 2>/dev/null || echo "No .goosehints"
```

### Step 3: Determine Translation Direction

- **Claude → Goose**: When .goosehints needed
- **Goose → Claude**: When CLAUDE.md needed
- **Bidirectional Sync**: Keep both in sync

## TRANSLATION RULES

### Section Header Mapping

```yaml
Claude to Goose:
  "## Project Overview": "## Project Context"
  "## Code Style": "## Development Guidelines"
  "## Important Files": "## Key Files"
  "## Commands": "## Available Commands"
  "## User Preferences": "## Settings"
  "## Anti-Sycophancy": "## Interaction Style"

Goose to Claude:
  "## Project Context": "## Project Overview"
  "## Development Guidelines": "## Code Style"
  "## Key Files": "## Important Files"
  "## Available Commands": "## Commands"
  "## Settings": "## User Preferences"
```

### Tool Reference Translation

```yaml
Claude MCP Tools to Goose Extensions:
  "mcp__claude-memory__memory_store": "memory.store"
  "mcp__claude-memory__memory_recall": "memory.recall"
  "mcp__claude-memory__rag_search": "memory.search"
  "mcp__filesystem__read_file": "developer.read_file"
  "mcp__filesystem__write_file": "developer.write_file"

Goose Extensions to Claude MCP:
  "memory.store": "mcp__claude-memory__memory_store"
  "memory.recall": "mcp__claude-memory__memory_recall"
  "developer.read_file": "Read tool"
  "developer.write_file": "Write tool"
```

### Command Reference Translation

```yaml
Claude Commands to Goose:
  "/help": "/help"
  "/clear": "/clear"
  "/compact": "(manual context management)"
  "/model": "(profile switching)"
  "/config": "~/.config/goose/profiles.yaml"
  "/context": "session info"
  "/add": "file inclusion"
  "/quit": "/exit"

Goose to Claude Commands:
  "/exit": "/quit"
  "profile switch": "/model"
```

## VERIFICATION WORKFLOW

### Validate Translation

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# validate-translation.sh

echo "=== Context Translation Validation ==="

# Check both files exist
if [ -f "CLAUDE.md" ] && [ -f ".goosehints" ]; then
    echo "✓ Both context files exist"
else
    echo "✗ Missing context file(s)"
    exit 1
fi

# Compare section counts
CLAUDE_SECTIONS=$(grep -c "^##" CLAUDE.md)
GOOSE_SECTIONS=$(grep -c "^##" .goosehints)

echo "CLAUDE.md sections: $CLAUDE_SECTIONS"
echo ".goosehints sections: $GOOSE_SECTIONS"

if [ "$CLAUDE_SECTIONS" -eq "$GOOSE_SECTIONS" ]; then
    echo "✓ Section counts match"
else
    echo "⚠ Section counts differ - manual review recommended"
fi

# Check for untranslated Claude-specific terms in .goosehints
if grep -q "mcp__claude" .goosehints; then
    echo "⚠ Found untranslated Claude MCP references in .goosehints"
else
    echo "✓ No Claude MCP references in .goosehints"

## VERIFICATION CHECKLIST

Before completing a translation task:

- [ ] Source file read successfully
- [ ] All sections translated
- [ ] Tool references converted
- [ ] Command references updated
- [ ] No untranslated markers remain
- [ ] Target file validates structurally
- [ ] Both files functional in respective tools
- [ ] Sync direction documented

---

## CONSTRAINTS

- Preserve all content during translation
- Maintain markdown formatting
