Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00649 | $0.00649 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00324 | $0.00324 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00130 | $0.00130 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00065 | $0.00065 |
Grade A, and why
cursorrules scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 35 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
See .ai/project-context.md for the full project context.
Memories live under .ai/memories/ (personal/team/module).
Hivelore — mandatory rules for AI agents
Installing or initializing Hivelore in this repository means the team expects AI agents to drive work through Hivelore, not bypass it.
MCP first (default — never optional unless the developer says so)
The haive MCP server must be enabled in your client. Until it is unavailable (misconfiguration report to the developer), you must use it for substantive work:
- Before you edit project source files, configs (
package.json, tooling), or workflows for the current goal, invokeget_briefingwith a short task string (and files / symbols when you know them). If project context was already refreshed in this session and you only need ranked memories, you may callmem_relevant_toinstead—but still consult Hivelore before trusting ungrounded guesses. - Before declaring a coding task finished, invoke the MCP prompt
post_taskwhen the session produced learnings or substantive changes worth capturing.
Do not treat these as nice-to-have: they are default-required for coding agents here.
Session rules
- Immediately when an approach fails (wrong API, wrong pattern, wrong assumption), call
mem_tried— do not wait until the end of the session.
Git sync protocol — multi-agent coordination (MANDATORY)
Several agents and the human (Sady) work on this repo in parallel with manual pull/push. See decision 2026-05-31-decision-git-sync-protocol-multi-agent.
BEFORE a task: git pull; resolve any conflicts before touching code; verify no conflict markers remain (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>), especially under .ai/.
AFTER changing code: git commit; bump the version only if shippable package code changed (@hivelore/core, cli, mcp, embeddings), patch by default, lockstep across the 4 packages; create the tag vX.Y.Z; then git push && git push --tags. Docs-only / .ai/-only / config / CI commits → commit + push without bump or tag.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cursorrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Doucs91/hivelore (1 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 649 tokens to every session, about $0.0032 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
