Using Bluera Knowledge (BK)
BK provides access to definitive library sources for your project dependencies.
The Rule: Query BK for External Code
Any question about libraries, dependencies, or indexed reference material should query BK.
BK is:
- •Cheap: ~100ms response, unlimited queries, no rate limits
- •Authoritative: Actual source code, not blog posts or training data
- •Complete: Includes tests, examples, internal APIs, configuration
Always Query BK For:
Library implementation:
- •"How does Express handle middleware errors?"
- •"What does React's useEffect cleanup actually do?"
- •"How is Pydantic validation implemented?"
API signatures and options:
- •"What parameters does axios.create() accept?"
- •"What options can I pass to hono.use()?"
- •"What's the signature of zod.object()?"
Error handling:
- •"What errors can this library throw?"
- •"Why might this function return undefined?"
- •"What validation does Zod perform?"
Version-specific behavior:
- •"What changed in React 18?"
- •"Is this deprecated in Express 5?"
- •"Does my version support this?"
Configuration:
- •"What config options exist for Vite?"
- •"What are the default values?"
- •"What environment variables does this use?"
Testing:
- •"How do the library authors test this?"
- •"How should I mock this in tests?"
- •"What edge cases do the tests cover?"
Performance:
- •"Is this cached internally?"
- •"What's the complexity of this operation?"
- •"Does this run async or sync?"
Security:
- •"How does this validate input?"
- •"Is this safe against injection?"
- •"How are credentials handled?"
Integration:
- •"How do I integrate X with Y?"
- •"What's the idiomatic usage pattern?"
- •"How do examples in the library do this?"
Two Ways to Access Library Sources
1. Vector Search (Discovery)
Find concepts and patterns across indexed content:
code
search("vue reactivity system")
/bluera-knowledge:search "pydantic custom validators"
2. Direct File Access (Precision)
Precise lookups in cloned library source:
code
Grep: pattern="defineReactive" path=".bluera/bluera-knowledge/repos/vue/" Read: .bluera/bluera-knowledge/repos/pydantic/pydantic/validators.py
Both are valid! Use vector search for discovery, Grep/Read for specific functions.
DO NOT Query BK For:
- •Your project code → Use Grep/Read directly
- •General concepts → Use training data ("What is a closure?")
- •Breaking news → Use web search ("Latest React release")
Example Workflow
User: "How does Vue's computed properties work internally?"
Claude:
- •Check stores:
list_storesMCP tool → vue store exists - •Vector search:
search("vue computed properties")→ finds computed.ts - •Read file:
.bluera/bluera-knowledge/repos/vue/packages/reactivity/src/computed.ts - •Grep for implementation: pattern="class ComputedRefImpl"
- •Explain with authoritative source code examples
Quick Reference
code
[library] question → Query BK [your code] question → Grep/Read directly [concept] question → Training data [news/updates] question → Web search
BK is cheap and fast. Query it liberally for library questions.
