How-to guides
Task-oriented pages for the operator of an instance: one goal per page - upgrade an instance,
set up the MCP read server, run a weekly review - with the steps a human takes and the sentence
handed to the agent. A how-to guide never retells an agent's procedure: the steps an agent runs
live in instructions/, and a guide here says what to prepare, what to ask for and where the
agent stops.
Working with the wiki:
- Ingest a source - a file, a folder, a web page, or a document submitted through the MCP server
- Write a site handler - teach
raw fetchhow a website serves its pages - Fetch pages behind a login - with your own session, through a browser, or through a fetch program of your own
- Capture documentation from a git repository - and keep it current
- Export guidelines to captured repositories
- Query the wiki - asking, and searching yourself
- Maintain the wiki - lint, provenance, and the gates on the way to a publish
- Run the weekly review - commitments in a task tracker against the project pages
- Browse the wiki in Obsidian - and how pages are named
Running the instance:
- Update an instance - to a newer release of the stack
- Troubleshoot an instance
- Set up the MCP read server - for a consumer that is not a terminal on this machine
- Trace and score agent sessions
- Use 1Password for settings - secrets and private values out of the tree, on the desktop and in CI
- Back up to a synced folder - OneDrive and the like as the backup of an instance without a git server, and restoring from it
Installing a new instance is INSTALL.md at the repository root.
