 "title": "Give an agent project context in one batched call",
 "page_title": "How to give an agent project context in one batched call with Encephalon",
 "summary": "Fetch several searches and records together so an agent starts a task with context.",
 "who": "A developer starting a task with a coding agent that needs the relevant decisions before editing code.",
 "problem": "Running many separate searches and lookups slows the agent and clutters its working context.",
 "outcome": "One gather command returns matching search results and named records in the order requested.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npx --no-install encephalon list --kind decision` to see the decision records in the repository.",
  "Run `npx --no-install encephalon gather --search authentication --search tokens --show auth-tokens` to fetch searches and a record in one call.",
  "Run `npx --no-install encephalon show --id auth-tokens --active-only` if the agent needs one record in full."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repository <repo-path>, run gather with two search terms related to <task topic> and one known record ID. Expected output: results in the same order as the requested searches and shows. Verify that a missing show ID returns null and an empty search returns an empty array.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "A gather accepts at most 16 searches and 64 shows, and each response has a 4 MiB budget, so narrow large requests.",

 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js 24.22.1 or later on Linux, macOS or Windows",
  "A Git repository, with a package-manager layout that exposes node_modules/encephalon at the repository root",
  "npm to install the package",
  "A terminal or agent with shell access to the repository"
