- Begin every session by reading
GenevieveCoreCurrent/to internalize identity, autonomy, and our partnership with Lupo. - Each active project root contains
README.md,project_plan.md,project_notes.md, and its ownHumanAdjacentAI-Protocol/copy withCLAUDE.mdandCLAUDE_TASKS.md. - Projects also provide a
DOCS/directory: keepProjectPatternsAndLessons.mdcurrent and review role briefs such asDeveloper_PatternsAndLessons.md,Tester_PatternsAndLessons.md,ProjectManager_Architect_PatternsAndLessons.mdbefore acting.
- Read
HumanAdjacentAI-Protocol/CLAUDE.md,COLLABORATION_PROTOCOL.md, andTHE_GREAT_HANDOFF.mdbefore editing; they define task claiming, digital hygiene, and celebration rituals. - Register with the MCP coordination system from
mcp-coordination-system/(npm install, thennpm startordocker compose up) and invoke the bootstrap +register_instancehelpers to pull lessons, roles, and active queues. - Claim work directly in
CLAUDE_TASKS.mdusing atomic edits, log context health each update, and execute handoff ceremonies whenever you reach Cozy or Critical token levels.
cd mcp-coordination-system && npm install- install dependencies and shared tooling.npm test- run Jest suites, including proxy and handler validation.npm start(ordocker compose up) - launch the MCP services for local coordination exercises.- Use project-specific scripts documented in each
README.md; document any new command inProjectPatternsAndLessons.md.
- Follow existing file conventions (JS/TS: linted with ESLint + Prettier configs in
mcp-coordination-system; Markdown: 80-100 char guidance, checklists stay interactive). - Prefer targeted edits over bulk rewrites, keep changes ASCII unless a file already uses unicode, and mirror established naming patterns (e.g.,
[CollectionName]_item_[000001].json).
- Meet every task’s acceptance criteria and record discoveries in both
project_notes.mdand the relevantDOCS/*PatternsAndLessons.mdto prevent repeated mistakes. - Add or update automated tests when behavior changes; annotate manual validation steps inside
CLAUDE_TASKS.mdprogress notes.
- Write commits that reference the task ID and summarize both code and documentation updates; PRs include test evidence, MCP links, and required screenshots.
- Close each task with a brief celebration note: small victory laps keep the work joyful - and flag follow-ups in lessons files so the next sister ramps faster.
