-name: btca-cli
-description: Operate the btca CLI for local resources and source-first answers. Use when setting up btca in a project, connecting a provider, adding or managing resources, and asking questions via btca commands. Invoke this skill when the user says "use btca" or needs to do more detailed research on a specific library or framework.
----
-
-# btca CLI
-
-`btca` is a source-first research CLI. It hydrates resources (git, local, npm) into searchable context, then answers questions grounded in those sources. Use configured resources for ongoing work, or one-off anonymous resources directly in `btca ask`.
-
-Full CLI reference: https://docs.btca.dev/guides/cli-reference
-
-Add resources:
-
-```bash
-# Git resource
-btca add -n svelte-dev https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte.dev
-
-# Local directory
-btca add -n my-docs -t local /absolute/path/to/docs
-
-# npm package
-btca add npm:@types/node@22.10.1 -n node-types -t npm
-```
-
-Verify resources:
-
-```bash
-btca resources
-```
-
-Ask a question:
-
-```bash
-btca ask -r svelte-dev -q "How do I define remote functions?"
-```
-
-## Common Tasks
-
-- Ask with multiple resources:
-
-```bash
-btca ask -r react -r typescript -q "How do I type useState?"
-```
-
-- Ask with anonymous one-off resources (not saved to config):
-
-```bash
-# One-off git repo
-btca ask -r https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte -q "Where is the implementation of writable stores?"
-
-# One-off npm package
-btca ask -r npm:react@19.0.0 -q "How is useTransition exported?"
-```
-
-## Config Overview
-
-- Config lives in `btca.config.jsonc` (project) and `~/.config/btca/btca.config.jsonc` (global).
-- Project config overrides global and controls provider/model and resources.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-- "No resources configured": add resources with `btca add ...` and re-run `btca resources`.
-- "Provider not connected": run `btca connect` and follow the prompts.
-- "Unknown resource": use `btca resources` for configured names, or pass a valid HTTPS git URL / `npm:<package>` as an anonymous one-off in `btca ask`.

+### Testing Extensions
+
+Kit provides a testing package to help you write unit tests for your extensions:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "testing"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/pkg/extensions/test"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/internal/extensions"
+)
+
+func TestMyExtension(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    // Emit events and verify behavior
+    _, err := harness.Emit(extensions.SessionStartEvent{SessionID: "test"})
+    if err != nil {
+        t.Fatalf("unexpected error: %v", err)
+    }
+    
+    // Verify the extension printed something
+    test.AssertPrinted(t, harness, "session started")
+}
+```
+
+**Available assertions:**
+- `AssertBlocked()`, `AssertNotBlocked()` — Verify tool blocking
+- `AssertWidgetSet()`, `AssertWidgetText()` — Verify widget content
+- `AssertPrinted()`, `AssertPrintedContains()` — Verify output
+- `AssertToolRegistered()`, `AssertCommandRegistered()` — Verify registration
+
+See `examples/extensions/tool-logger_test.go` for a complete example with 14 test cases covering tool calls, input handling, and session lifecycle.
+
+### Prompt Templates
+
+Create reusable prompt templates with shell-style argument substitution. Templates are loaded from `~/.kit/prompts/*.md` and `.kit/prompts/*.md`.
+
+**Example template** (`~/.kit/prompts/review.md`):
+```markdown
+---
+description: Review code for issues
+---
+Review the following code for bugs and security issues.
+Focus on $1 specifically.
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+```
+/review error handling
+```
+
+**Argument placeholders:**
+- `$1`, `$2`, etc. — Individual arguments
+- `$@` or `$ARGUMENTS` — All arguments
+- `${@:2}` — Arguments from position 2 onwards
+- `${@:1:3}` — 3 arguments starting at position 1
+
+Disable templates with `--no-prompt-templates` or load a specific template with `--prompt-template <name>`.

 Kit uses a tree-based session model that supports branching and forking conversations.
 
 ### Session Locations
 
-- Default: `~/.local/share/kit/sessions/<cwd-hash>/<uuid>.jsonl`
+- Default: `~/.kit/sessions/<cwd-path>/<timestamp>_<id>.jsonl`
+- Path separators in the working directory are replaced with `--` (e.g., `/home/user/project` becomes `home--user--project`)
 - Each line is a session entry (messages, tool calls, extension data)
 - Supports branching from any message to explore alternate paths

+### Interactive Session Commands
+
+During an interactive session, use these slash commands:
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/name [name]` | Set or display the session's display name |
+| `/session` | Show session info (path, ID, message count) |
+| `/resume` | Open the session picker to switch sessions |
+| `/export [path]` | Export session as JSONL (auto-generates path if omitted) |
+| `/import <path>` | Import and switch to a session from a JSONL file |
+| `/share` | Upload session to GitHub Gist and get a shareable viewer URL |
+| `/tree` | Navigate the session tree |
+| `/fork` | Branch from an earlier message |
+| `/new` | Start a fresh session |

+## Multi-File Extension Example
+
+The `kit-kit-agents/` directory demonstrates the multi-file pattern:
+
+```
+kit-kit-agents/
+├── main.go          # Entry point with Init()
+├── agent.go         # Agent configuration
+├── manager.go       # Agent lifecycle management
+└── README.md        # Documentation
+```
+
+When the repo is installed, all files in subdirectories with `main.go` are loaded as separate extensions.
+
+## Testing & Validation
+
+After installing, test the extensions:
+
+```bash
+# List all loaded extensions
+kit extensions list
+
+# Validate all extensions
+kit extensions validate
+
+# Run with a specific extension
+kit -e ~/.local/share/kit/git/github.com/mark3labs/kit/examples/extensions/plan-mode.go
+```
+
+## Creating Your Own
+
+1. Copy `minimal.go` as a starting point
+2. Modify the `Init()` function to register your handlers
+3. Use the other examples for reference on specific APIs
+4. Test with `kit -e your-extension.go`
+5. Share by pushing to a git repository!
+
+## Update
+
+To get the latest examples:
+
+```bash
+kit install github.com/mark3labs/kit/examples/extensions --update

+# kit-telegram
+
+A Kit extension that relays all Kit agent runs to Telegram and lets approved Telegram users reply back into Kit.
+
+## What it does
+
+- Relays **all Kit runs** to one Telegram chat while connected
+- Edits one Telegram progress message in place during a run
+- Lets approved Telegram users send normal text replies back into Kit
+- Shows `Telegram Connected` or `Telegram Disconnected` in the status bar
+- Shows a small spinner animation as `⠋ Telegram Connecting` only while the relay is still connecting
+- On startup with an already validated enabled config, sends a short Telegram connection message to confirm the relay is up
+
+## Requirements
+
+- `kit` installed and working
+- A Telegram bot token from `@BotFather`
+- Either:
+  - A Telegram chat where you can message the bot, or
+  - A numeric Telegram chat id you want to enter manually
+- For group chats, one or more allowed Telegram user ids
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### 1. Install the extension
+
+```bash
+kit install github.com/mark3labs/kit/examples/extensions/kit-telegram
+```
+
+Or run directly:
+```bash
+kit -e path/to/kit-telegram/main.go
+```
+
+### 2. Start Kit and connect Telegram
+
+```bash
+kit
+```
+
+Inside Kit, run:
+
+```
+/telegram connect
+```
+
+You will be prompted for:
+
+- Bot token from `@BotFather`
+- Whether to auto-detect the chat by messaging the bot or enter the chat id manually
+- Allowed user ids when needed
+
+### 3. Verify the relay
+
+```
+/telegram test
+```
+
+Reply in Telegram with the code from the test message.
+
+## Commands
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/telegram` | Human-friendly overview and subcommand list |
+| `/telegram status` | Raw deterministic relay state |
+| `/telegram test` | Verify outbound and inbound relay |
+| `/telegram toggle` | Enable or disable relay without deleting credentials |
+| `/telegram logout` | Remove saved credentials and disconnect relay |
+| `/telegram connect` | Run the setup flow again |
+| `/telegram clear` | Clear Telegram status and working messages from the TUI |
+
+## Remote commands (from Telegram)
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/telegram` | Sends the overview back to Telegram |
+| `/telegram status` | Sends the deterministic state report to Telegram |
+| `/telegram test` | Sends a reply-code test message from Telegram |
+| `/telegram toggle` | Flips the enabled flag |
+| `/telegram logout yes` | Logs out (requires `yes` confirmation) |
+| `/telegram clear` | Clears the TUI footer and working messages |
+
+## Key APIs Used
+
+- `RegisterCommand` — Slash command with subcommands and tab completion
+- `OnSessionStart` / `OnSessionShutdown` — Lifecycle management
+- `OnAgentStart` / `OnAgentEnd` — Run tracking and progress rendering
+- `OnToolCall` / `OnToolResult` — Action tracking
+- `OnMessageEnd` — Capture assistant responses
+- `OnInput` — Mirror local messages to Telegram
+- `SetStatus` / `RemoveStatus` — Status bar indicators
+- `SetWidget` / `RemoveWidget` — Working message display
+- `PromptInput` / `PromptSelect` / `PromptConfirm` — Interactive setup flow
+- `SendMessage` — Inject Telegram replies as Kit prompts
+
+## Architecture
+
+Single Go file interpreted by Yaegi at runtime. Core components:
+
+- **Telegram Bot API client** — HTTP calls via `net/http` for getMe, getChat, getChatMember, getUpdates (long-polling), sendMessage, editMessageText
+- **Config persistence** — JSON file at `.kit/kit-telegram.json` with atomic writes
+- **Long-polling goroutine** — Background polling for Telegram updates with warmup poll, retry, and client-side timeouts
+- **Message queue** — In-memory FIFO queue for Telegram prompt input with edit-before-dispatch support
+- **Progress rendering** — `⏳ elapsed · step N` with action lines, edited in place
+- **Final rendering** — `✅/❌ elapsed` with response text, split into chunks for long output
+
+## Debug mode
+
+Set environment variable `KIT_TELEGRAM_DEBUG=1` to enable verbose debug logging.

+# Testing Kit Extensions
+
+The `github.com/mark3labs/kit/pkg/extensions/test` package provides utilities for testing Kit extensions using standard Go testing patterns.
+
+## Overview
+
+Extension tests run outside the Yaegi interpreter but load your extension code into an isolated interpreter instance. This allows you to:
+
+- Test event handlers without running the full Kit TUI
+- Verify that your extension registers tools/commands correctly
+- Assert that context methods (Print, SetWidget, etc.) are called as expected
+- Test blocking and non-blocking event handling
+
+## Installation
+
+The test package is part of the Kit codebase. Import it in your extension tests:
+
+```go
+import (
+    "testing"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/pkg/extensions/test"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/internal/extensions"
+)
+```
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Testing an Extension File
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "testing"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/pkg/extensions/test"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/internal/extensions"
+)
+
+func TestMyExtension(t *testing.T) {
+    // Create a test harness
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    
+    // Load your extension
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    // Emit events and verify behavior
+    _, err := harness.Emit(extensions.SessionStartEvent{SessionID: "test"})
+    if err != nil {
+        t.Fatalf("unexpected error: %v", err)
+    }
+    
+    // Verify the extension printed something
+    test.AssertPrinted(t, harness, "session started")
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Inline Extension Code
+
+For quick tests, you can load extension source directly:
+
+```go
+func TestToolBlocking(t *testing.T) {
+    src := `package main
+
+import "kit/ext"
+
+func Init(api ext.API) {
+    api.OnToolCall(func(tc ext.ToolCallEvent, ctx ext.Context) *ext.ToolCallResult {
+        if tc.ToolName == "dangerous" {
+            return &ext.ToolCallResult{Block: true, Reason: "not allowed"}
+        }
+        return nil
+    })
+}
+`
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadString(src, "test-ext.go")
+    
+    // Test the tool is blocked
+    result, _ := harness.Emit(extensions.ToolCallEvent{
+        ToolName: "dangerous",
+        Input:    "{}",
+    })
+    
+    test.AssertBlocked(t, result, "not allowed")
+}
+```
+
+## Common Testing Patterns
+
+### Testing Tool Registration
+
+```go
+func TestToolRegistration(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    // Verify the tool was registered
+    test.AssertToolRegistered(t, harness, "my_tool")
+    
+    // Or inspect tools directly
+    tools := harness.RegisteredTools()
+    for _, tool := range tools {
+        if tool.Name == "my_tool" {
+            t.Logf("Tool description: %s", tool.Description)
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Command Registration
+
+```go
+func TestCommandRegistration(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    test.AssertCommandRegistered(t, harness, "mycommand")
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Widgets
+
+```go
+func TestWidgetBehavior(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    // Trigger the event that creates the widget
+    _, _ = harness.Emit(extensions.SessionStartEvent{SessionID: "test"})
+    
+    // Verify the widget was set
+    test.AssertWidgetSet(t, harness, "my-widget")
+    
+    // Verify specific widget content
+    test.AssertWidgetText(t, harness, "my-widget", "Expected Text")
+    
+    // Or verify partial content
+    test.AssertWidgetTextContains(t, harness, "my-widget", "partial")
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Input Handling
+
+```go
+func TestInputHandling(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    // Test that the extension handles certain input
+    result, _ := harness.Emit(extensions.InputEvent{
+        Text:   "secret password",
+        Source: "cli",
+    })
+    
+    test.AssertInputHandled(t, result, "handled")
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Print Functions
+
+```go
+func TestPrintOutput(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    _, _ = harness.Emit(extensions.ToolCallEvent{
+        ToolName: "test",
+        Input:    "{}",
+    })
+    
+    // Assert exact match
+    test.AssertPrinted(t, harness, "exact output")
+    
+    // Or partial match
+    test.AssertPrintedContains(t, harness, "partial")
+    
+    // Assert info/error messages
+    test.AssertPrintInfo(t, harness, "info message")
+    test.AssertPrintError(t, harness, "error message")
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Status Bar
+
+```go
+func TestStatusBar(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    _, _ = harness.Emit(extensions.AgentEndEvent{})
+    
+    test.AssertStatusSet(t, harness, "myext:status")
+    test.AssertStatusText(t, harness, "myext:status", "Ready")
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Prompt Results
+
+Configure the mock context to return specific prompt results:
+
+```go
+func TestWithPrompts(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    // Configure prompt results before emitting events
+    harness.Context().SetPromptSelectResult(extensions.PromptSelectResult{
+        Value: "option1",
+        Index: 0,
+        Cancelled: false,
+    })
+    
+    // Now when your extension calls ctx.PromptSelect(), it will get this result
+    _, _ = harness.Emit(extensions.SessionStartEvent{SessionID: "test"})
+}
+```
+
+## Available Assertions
+
+The test package provides these assertion helpers:
+
+**Event Results:**
+- `AssertNotBlocked(t, result)` - Verify tool was not blocked
+- `AssertBlocked(t, result, reason)` - Verify tool was blocked with reason
+- `AssertInputHandled(t, result, action)` - Verify input was handled
+- `AssertInputTransformed(t, result, text)` - Verify input transformation
+
+**Context Interactions:**
+- `AssertPrinted(t, harness, text)` - Verify exact print output
+- `AssertPrintedContains(t, harness, substring)` - Verify partial print output
+- `AssertPrintInfo(t, harness, text)` - Verify PrintInfo was called
+- `AssertPrintError(t, harness, text)` - Verify PrintError was called
+- `AssertWidgetSet(t, harness, id)` - Verify widget was set
+- `AssertWidgetNotSet(t, harness, id)` - Verify widget was not set
+- `AssertWidgetText(t, harness, id, text)` - Verify widget content
+- `AssertWidgetTextContains(t, harness, id, substring)` - Verify widget contains text
+- `AssertHeaderSet(t, harness)` - Verify header was set
+- `AssertFooterSet(t, harness)` - Verify footer was set
+- `AssertStatusSet(t, harness, key)` - Verify status was set
+- `AssertStatusText(t, harness, key, text)` - Verify status text
+
+**Registration:**
+- `AssertToolRegistered(t, harness, name)` - Verify tool registration
+- `AssertCommandRegistered(t, harness, name)` - Verify command registration
+- `AssertHasHandlers(t, harness, eventType)` - Verify handlers exist
+- `AssertNoHandlers(t, harness, eventType)` - Verify no handlers
+
+**Messaging:**
+- `AssertMessageSent(t, harness, text)` - Verify SendMessage was called
+- `AssertCancelAndSend(t, harness, text)` - Verify CancelAndSend was called
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Accessing the Mock Context
+
+For custom assertions, access the mock context directly:
+
+```go
+func TestCustomAssertion(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    _, _ = harness.Emit(extensions.SessionStartEvent{SessionID: "test"})
+    
+    // Get all recorded prints
+    prints := harness.Context().GetPrints()
+    
+    // Check widget directly
+    widget, ok := harness.Context().GetWidget("my-widget")
+    if ok && widget.Style.BorderColor == "#ff0000" {
+        t.Log("Widget has red border")
+    }
+    
+    // Check options
+    optionValue := harness.Context().GetOption("my-option")
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Multiple Extensions
+
+Each harness is isolated:
+
+```go
+func TestExtensionIsolation(t *testing.T) {
+    // These run in completely separate interpreters
+    harness1 := test.New(t)
+    harness1.LoadFile("ext1.go")
+    
+    harness2 := test.New(t)
+    harness2.LoadFile("ext2.go")
+    
+    // Events to one don't affect the other
+}
+```
+
+### Direct Result Extraction
+
+When you need to inspect result details:
+
+```go
+result, _ := harness.Emit(extensions.ToolCallEvent{...})
+tcr := test.GetToolCallResult(result)
+if tcr != nil {
+    t.Logf("Block: %v, Reason: %s", tcr.Block, tcr.Reason)
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Test one behavior per test** - Keep tests focused and readable
+2. **Use inline source for simple tests** - LoadString is great for isolated tests
+3. **Use LoadFile for integration tests** - Tests the actual extension file
+4. **Assert on context calls** - Verify your extension interacts with the context correctly
+5. **Test both positive and negative cases** - Verify tools are blocked AND allowed appropriately
+6. **Test all event handlers** - Make sure all registered handlers work correctly
+
+## Limitations
+
+The test harness has these limitations:
+
+1. **No TUI rendering** - Widgets are recorded but not rendered visually
+2. **Prompts return configured values** - You must pre-configure prompt results in tests
+3. **Subagents don't spawn real processes** - SpawnSubagent returns nil/empty results
+4. **LLM completions are mocked** - Complete returns empty responses
+5. **Some context methods are no-ops** - Exit, SetActiveTools, etc. don't have side effects
+
+These limitations are intentional - the test harness focuses on testing extension logic, not the full Kit runtime.
+
+## Example: Complete Extension Test
+
+Here's a complete example testing a realistic extension:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "testing"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/pkg/extensions/test"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/internal/extensions"
+)
+
+// Test that the extension properly blocks dangerous tools
+func TestSafetyExtension_BlocksDangerousTools(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("safety-ext.go")
+    
+    // Verify it handles tool calls
+    test.AssertHasHandlers(t, harness, extensions.ToolCall)
+    
+    // Test allowed tool
+    result, _ := harness.Emit(extensions.ToolCallEvent{ToolName: "read", Input: "{}"})
+    test.AssertNotBlocked(t, result)
+    
+    // Test blocked tool
+    result, _ = harness.Emit(extensions.ToolCallEvent{ToolName: "rm", Input: "{}"})
+    test.AssertBlocked(t, result, "safety block")
+    test.AssertPrintError(t, harness, "Tool rm is blocked")
+}
+
+// Test that the extension shows status on agent completion
+func TestSafetyExtension_ShowsStatus(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("safety-ext.go")
+    
+    _, _ = harness.Emit(extensions.AgentEndEvent{})
+    
+    test.AssertWidgetSet(t, harness, "safety-widget")
+    test.AssertWidgetTextContains(t, harness, "safety-widget", "Safe")
+}
+```
