# Extract Codebase Knowledge
Build or rebuild the `.gauntlet/knowledge.json` knowledge base.
## Steps
1. **Identify target directory**: use the current working directory
or a user-specified path
2. **Run AST extraction**: invoke the extractor script
```bash
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/extractor.py <target-dir>
```
3. **AI enrichment**: for each extracted entry, enhance the `detail`
field with natural language explanation of business logic, data
flow, architectural role, and rationale
4. **Cross-reference**: link related entries across modules by
matching imports, shared types, and data flow paths
5. **Merge with annotations**: preserve existing curated entries
in `.gauntlet/annotations/`
6. **Save**: write to `.gauntlet/knowledge.json`
7. **Report**: show summary by category, coverage gaps, difficulty
distribution
