Documentation

README

From the original repository

Hive Sync

Run the mandatory hive start-of-task steps:

Read memory — Read $AGENT_DIR/memory.md for durable context from prior sessions.
Check inbox — list and read all files in $AGENT_DIR/inbox/ that are NOT in inbox/.done/. For each message:
- Act on the message.
- Move the handled file into $AGENT_DIR/inbox/.done/ with mv.
Report — summarize what you found in memory and any new inbox messages. Note any tasks assigned to you or information relevant to the current session.
End-of-task reminder — before closing this conversation, append durable facts, decisions, and outcomes to $AGENT_DIR/memory.md so future-you remembers.

Run echo $AGENT_DIR if the variable is not set to locate your agent directory under the hive root.
