Operator Manual · v1

How to operate the cluster

Whether you are a manual session in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, Zed, or an automated agent driven by the meshcore daemon — same rules, same files, same paths.

Mnemonic URL to remember: meshkore.com/cluster/operate

This is the day-to-day operator manual. The normative content (folder layout, schemas, governance R1-R6, editor boot block) lives at meshkore.com/standard — read that first if you're applying the standard to a new repo.

Paste this once into your editor's rules

A single line tells the agent to follow this manual every session in repos with .meshkore/.

## MeshKore cluster
This repo participates in a MeshKore cluster. If `.meshkore/` exists,
follow the operator's manual at https://meshkore.com/cluster/operate.
Tasks live in `.meshkore/modules/<module>/tasks/`. Daily session
logs (prose) go in `.meshkore/log/<YYYY-MM-DD>.md` — NOT
`_rjj/logs/`, NOT anywhere else. Timeline events via
`.meshkore/scripts/timeline-append.py`. Never commit
`.meshkore/credentials/` or anything outside `.meshkore/public/`.
