+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { CrossProjectManager } from '@cipher/core/cross_project_knowledge';
+
+// Initialize the system
+const manager = new CrossProjectManager({
+  enableAutoTransfer: true,
+  enableMasterGuide: true,
+  similarityThreshold: 0.7
+});
+
+await manager.initialize();
+
+// Register projects
+await manager.registerProject({
+  projectId: 'frontend-app',
+  projectName: 'Frontend Application',
+  domain: 'web-development',
+  tags: ['react', 'typescript'],
+  metadata: { framework: 'React 18' }
+});
+
+// Transfer knowledge between projects
+await manager.transferKnowledge(
+  'frontend-app',
+  'backend-api',
+  'Use TypeScript interfaces for API response validation',
+  'pattern',
+  0.9,
+  0.8
+);
+
+// Generate master guide
+const guide = await manager.generateMasterGuide(
+  'web-development',
+  'Web Development Master Guide'
+);
+```
+
+### Advanced Usage with Memory Integration
+
+```typescript
+import { MemoryIntegrationManager } from '@cipher/core/cross_project_knowledge';
+
+// Initialize with memory integration
+const integrationManager = new MemoryIntegrationManager({
+  enableAutoProjectDetection: true,
+  enableAutoKnowledgeExtraction: true,
+  enableAutoMasterGuideGeneration: true,
+  knowledgeExtractionThreshold: 0.8
+});
+
+await integrationManager.initialize();
+
+// Register project with automatic knowledge extraction
+await integrationManager.registerProjectWithAutoExtraction({
+  projectId: 'new-project',
+  projectName: 'New Project',
+  domain: 'web-development',
+  tags: ['vue', 'typescript'],
+  metadata: {}
+}, [
+  'Use Vue 3 Composition API for better reactivity',
+  'Implement proper error handling with try-catch blocks',
+  'Use TypeScript for type safety and better development experience'
+]);
+
+// The system will automatically:
+// 1. Extract knowledge from the provided items
+// 2. Transfer relevant knowledge to other projects in the same domain
+// 3. Generate or update master guides for the domain
+```

+
+### Troubleshooting Common Issues
+
+#### 1. Ollama Connection Issues
+```bash
+# Check if Ollama is running
+curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
+
+# If not running, start it
+ollama serve
+```
+
+#### 2. API Key Issues
+```bash
+# Verify API keys are set
+echo $OPENAI_API_KEY
+echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+```
+
+#### 3. Cross-Project Features Not Working
+```bash
+# Check if features are enabled
+echo $CIPHER_CROSS_PROJECT_ENABLE_AUTO_PROJECT_DETECTION
+echo $CIPHER_CROSS_PROJECT_ENABLE_AUTO_KNOWLEDGE_EXTRACTION
+
+# Enable all features
+export CIPHER_CROSS_PROJECT_ENABLE_AUTO_PROJECT_DETECTION=true
+export CIPHER_CROSS_PROJECT_ENABLE_AUTO_KNOWLEDGE_EXTRACTION=true
+export CIPHER_CROSS_PROJECT_ENABLE_AUTO_MASTER_GUIDE_GENERATION=true
+```
+
+#### 4. Memory Integration Issues
+```bash
+# Check memory integration
+export CIPHER_CROSS_PROJECT_INTEGRATE_WITH_MEMORY=true
+export CIPHER_CROSS_PROJECT_INTEGRATE_WITH_KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH=true
+
+# Test memory storage
+cipher "Store this in memory and make it available across projects: Use TypeScript for better code quality"
+```
+
+### Performance Testing
+
+```bash
+# Test with multiple projects
+for i in {1..10}; do
+  cipher "Register project: test-project-$i, Test Project $i, test-domain, tags: test,project-$i"
+done
+
+# Test knowledge transfer performance
+cipher "Transfer all relevant knowledge between all test projects"
+
+# Test master guide generation performance
+cipher "Generate master guide for test-domain with all projects"
+```
+
+### Integration with Existing Memory System
+
+```bash
+# Test integration with existing memory tools
+cipher "Store this reasoning: When debugging React performance issues, use React DevTools Profiler to identify bottlenecks"
+cipher "Search for similar debugging patterns across all projects"
+cipher "Create a debugging master guide from all project knowledge"
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: React Development Team
+
+```typescript
+// Register React projects
+await manager.registerProject({
+  projectId: 'ecommerce-frontend',
+  projectName: 'E-commerce Frontend',
+  domain: 'react-development',
+  tags: ['react', 'typescript', 'ecommerce'],
+  metadata: { framework: 'React 18' }
+});
+
+await manager.registerProject({
+  projectId: 'admin-dashboard',
+  projectName: 'Admin Dashboard',
+  domain: 'react-development',
+  tags: ['react', 'typescript', 'dashboard'],
+  metadata: { framework: 'React 18' }
+});
+
+// Transfer knowledge between projects
+await manager.transferKnowledge(
+  'ecommerce-frontend',
+  'admin-dashboard',
+  'Use Redux Toolkit with RTK Query for server state management',
+  'pattern',
+  0.9,
+  0.9
+);
+
+// Generate master guide
+const guide = await manager.generateMasterGuide(
+  'react-development',
+  'React Development Master Guide'
+);
+```
+
+### Example 2: Multi-Domain Knowledge Sharing
+
+```typescript
+// Register projects from different domains
+await manager.registerProject({
+  projectId: 'frontend-app',
+  projectName: 'Frontend App',
+  domain: 'frontend-development',
+  tags: ['vue', 'typescript'],
+  metadata: {}
+});
+
+await manager.registerProject({
+  projectId: 'backend-api',
+  projectName: 'Backend API',
+  domain: 'backend-development',
+  tags: ['nodejs', 'express'],
+  metadata: {}
+});
+
+// Cross-domain knowledge transfer
+await manager.transferKnowledge(
+  'frontend-app',
+  'backend-api',
+  'Implement CORS middleware for cross-origin requests',
+  'solution',
+  0.9,
+  0.9
+);
+
+// Generate domain-specific guides
+const frontendGuide = await manager.generateMasterGuide('frontend-development');
+const backendGuide = await manager.generateMasterGuide('backend-development');
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **High Memory Usage**
+   - Reduce `maxTransferPerProject`
+   - Decrease `knowledgeRetentionDays`
+   - Enable `enablePerformanceMonitoring`
+
+2. **Slow Master Guide Generation**
+   - Increase `masterGuideUpdateInterval`
+   - Reduce `maxConcurrentTransfers`
+   - Filter projects by domain
+
+3. **Low Knowledge Transfer Quality**
+   - Increase `similarityThreshold`
+   - Improve knowledge content quality
+   - Adjust `knowledgeExtractionThreshold`
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable debug logging:
+
+```typescript
+const manager = new CrossProjectManager({
+  enablePerformanceMonitoring: true,
+  // ... other config
+});
+
+// Monitor system events
+manager.on('projectRegistered', (project) => {
+  console.log('Project registered:', project.projectId);
+});
+
+manager.on('knowledgeTransferred', (transfer) => {
+  console.log('Knowledge transferred:', transfer.id);
+});
+
+manager.on('masterGuideGenerated', (guide) => {
+  console.log('Master guide generated:', guide.title);
+});
+```
