/wbHelp — Command Hub
/wbHelp is the WB-Labs command discovery and self-documentation engine. It is a meta-command in the truest sense — it does not produce reports, does not modify files, and does not generate state. It serves a single purpose: surface accurate, up-to-date documentation for the entire /wb* command suite.
Every command ships the same 7 documentation layers. /wbHelp is the index into them — start at the layer that matches your question, not at the top.
🎯 Strategic Position
In a 28-command ecosystem, knowledge of which command to invoke for a given goal is the single largest barrier to onboarding and the most common source of friction in daily use. /wbHelp exists to flatten that barrier:
- For new users: a single command reveals the entire system architecture, grouped by purpose.
- For existing users: instant per-command reference without leaving the terminal.
- For automation: a stable, JSON-backed source of truth.
