## Tools

15 declared. Statically extracted from the shipped source — a floor on the surface, not a census.
- `log_lesson` — Save a delivered lesson to the coaching log. Git metadata (project, repository, branch, commit_hash, folder, repository_platform) is auto-detected from the work
- `update_knowledge` — Adjust the confidence score for a topic by delta (e.g. +1 or -1). Returns the new confidence (0-10). Creates the topic at confidence 5 if it does not exist.
- `get_lessons` — Query the coaching lesson history. All filters combine. period defaults to all; date_from/date_to override period; limit caps results newest-first (0 = all).
- `star_lesson` — Set the starred (favourite) flag on a lesson. Returns true if found and updated. Idempotent.
- `delete_lesson` — Permanently delete a lesson by id. Returns true if found and deleted.
- `submit_feedback` — Record comprehension feedback for a lesson and adjust knowledge confidence. know = +1, dont_know = -1, clear = remove feedback (no confidence change). Idempoten
- `skip_lesson` — Decline a lesson cue: call this when the coaching hook asked for a lesson but the completed work does not warrant one (pure questions, chat, nothing technical).
- `add_topic` — Add a topic to the knowledge map, or update its confidence if it exists. Optionally assign to a group (auto-created). Prefer a single-word topic id. Idempotent.
- `remove_topic` — Remove a topic from the knowledge map entirely. Returns true if it existed.
- `add_group` — Create a new (initially empty) knowledge group. Idempotent — returns true either way.
- `remove_group` — Delete a knowledge group. Its topics move to Other. Returns true if it existed.
- `update_settings` — Update a coaching setting. max_per_day: integer 1-20. min_gap_minutes: integer 0-1440 (0 = no cooldown). nudge_every: integer 0-1000 interactions between lesson
- `open_ui` — Launch the devcoach web dashboard in the background. port must be 1024-65535.
- `complete_onboarding` — Save the user's initial knowledge profile and mark onboarding complete. Wipes any default-seeded profile. topics: {topic_id: confidence_0_to_10}. groups: {group
- `preview_deep_scan` — Cheap, metadata-only pre-check for 'Automatic (Deep)' onboarding. Counts and lists Claude Code projects whose last recorded activity falls within a rolling wind

## Install

**Verdict: install** — No blocking findings and no open coverage gaps — safe to install as configured.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"devcoach\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"devcoach\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}"
```

## Blast radius

Extensive to critical — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: deletes data; runs on your machine.
- Floor 38, ceiling 62 (tier: unknown)
- `unknown` means the floor and ceiling land in different bands — not measured enough to name one. It does not mean low.
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
