16	**Trigger:** the user asks to set up gcontext, get started, or onboard the project while the workspace has no real modules yet — the Loaded modules table at the end of this file is empty and `modules-repo/` contains nothing beyond the seeded `example/`. Skip this section entirely when real modules already exist (e.g. a colleague joining an existing workspace — their setup is just filling in `.env`).

18	Do NOT explain the module taxonomy, and never ask the user to pick a module kind — you pick it. Run a short interview instead:
19	
20	1. Ask three questions: *"What do you find yourself re-explaining to your agent every session?"*, *"What does it always get wrong about this project?"*, and *"What are you in the middle of right now?"*

3	# Principles — Modifying Context
4	
5	These are the rules for creating, editing, or extending modules.
6	
7	## Module locations
8	
9	Modules live at `modules-repo/<slug>/`. The `context/` directory contains symlinks for the subset of modules currently loaded into the active workspace — **it is a view, not a storage location.**
10	
11	Two operations that look similar but are NOT the same:
12	
13	- **Create / edit a module.** You write files at `modules-repo/<slug>/...`. This is the only kind of write you perform.
14	- **Load a module into the workspace.** This creates a symlink inside `context/`. It is managed by the `gcontext` CLI, not by you.
15	
16	Each module is a folder with at least `module.yaml` and `llms.txt`.
17	
18	## Reading context before modifying
19	
20	Before answering anything that references or implies a topic likely covered by an existing module, read that module's `llms.txt` first. If `llms.txt` declares a `## Where to write` section, that section governs where any subsequent appends go (path, naming pattern, template). Do NOT invent a new location.
21	
22	If no module matches, you may answer from general knowledge — but if the conversation produces durable content (a finding, a note worth keeping, a new procedure), propose a new module rather than silently dropping it.

2	
3	# Secrets
4	
5	Secrets are environment variables. Modules declare which variables they need in `module.yaml` under the `secrets:` list — variable names only, never values.
6	
7	## How it works
8	
9	1. Check a module's `module.yaml` for its `secrets:` list
10	2. Values live in `.env` at the project root (gitignored, never committed)
11	3. `.env.example` is auto-generated with all required variable names
12	4. Run `gcontext env` to check which variables are set or missing
13	
14	## Rules
15	
16	- Never hardcode secret values in module files
17	- Never commit `.env` to version control
18	- Access secrets via `os.environ` in scripts

3	## Purpose
4	REST access to our Supabase project's Postgres database through the PostgREST API, authenticated with the project's secret API key.
5	
6	## Where it lives
7	The project base URL is the value of `SUPABASE_URL` (stored in `.env` at the project root, never in this module). The REST API is served under the base path:
8	
9	```
10	{SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/
11	```
12	
13	## Auth & access
14	Two secrets, declared by name in `module.yaml`, values read from `.env`:
15	
16	- `SUPABASE_URL`: the Supabase project URL
17	- `SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY`: a secret API key; it bypasses Row Level Security, so it is server-side only and must never be exposed to a browser, logged, or written into module files
18	
19	Every REST request must send the key in both headers:
20	
21	```
22	apikey: <value of SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY>
23	Authorization: Bearer <value of SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY>
24	```
25	
26	In scripts, read both values via `os.environ`; in shell, source `.env` first. Never hardcode the values.
27	
28	## Key entities
29	- **Tables and views**: each exposed table or view in the `public` schema is available at `{SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/<table>`
30	- **Rows**: returned as JSON arrays of objects; selected, filtered, ordered, and paginated via query parameters
