# Hivelore — required for agents

This repository uses **Hivelore**. Running `hivelore init` means the team expects agents to **use the haive MCP server by default**, not skip it.

## Before you change the repo

1. Call **`get_briefing`** with `task` (and `files` / `symbols` when known), **or** `mem_relevant_to` if full project context is already loaded and you only need ranked memories.
2. Then read/search the codebase as needed. Do not invert this order for non-trivial work.

## During / after the task

- On failure: **`mem_tried`** immediately.
- Before closing a substantive session: MCP prompt **`post_task`** when there is something worth capturing.

## If haive MCP is missing

Tell the developer to enable the **haive** server (e.g. `hivelore mcp --stdio` in client config) and restart the client. Do not silently ignore Hivelore.
