+- **You don't need to create relation rows** for these links. The resolver does not populate the relation graph — that is a separate feature. Explicit relations are available via `cerefox_set_relation`, but they are **off by default**: the four relation tools are hidden unless the operator sets `relations_enabled`.

Falls back to title-matching with `update_if_exists: true`.\n3. **Set `author`/`requestor`** to your name on every call (e.g., "Claude Code", "archiver"). On MCP, pass as parameters. On CLI, pass `--author`/`--author-type`/`--requestor` flags, or rely on `CEREFOX_AUTHOR_NAME`/`CEREFOX_AUTHOR_TYPE`/`CEREFOX_REQUESTOR_NAME` env vars set in the user\'s `.env`.\n4. **Use `document_id` from search results** `[id: uuid]` for get_document and list_versions.\n5. **Add metadata** -- at minimum `type` ("decision-log", "research", "design-doc") and `status` ("active", "draft").\n6. **Write structured Markdown** with H1/H2/H3 headings for good chunking and search.\n7. **Deletes are soft (recoverable); purge is web-UI-only.** If you decide to delete, surface it to the user (`I soft-deleted X — recoverable from the Cerefox web UI trash`). You cannot un-do your own delete from agent code by design.\n8. **Cross-doc links inside content**: **always use `[Text](document-uuid)`.** UUIDs are the only fully reliable link form — stable across title changes, never ambiguous, no encoding gotchas. Every `cerefox_search` result shows `[id: <uuid>]` after the title; grab it and use it. Title-based linking (`[Text](<Title With Spaces>)`) is fragile (breaks on colons, parens, ampersands, brackets — silently navigates to wrong page) — **don\'t write title-based links**; do an extra search to get the UUID instead. Repo-path forms (`[Text](docs/path.md)`) exist for repo-ingested files; don\'t construct manually. See `AGENT_GUIDE.md → Writing linkable content` for the full rule.\n9. **Concurrency: content updates require `expected_content_hash`.** Pass the `content_hash` you read (shown by `cerefox_get_document`, `cerefox_search`, and `cerefox_metadata_search`) when updating a document. If it\'s stale you get a **conflict** — re-read the document, merge your changes into the latest content, retry with the new hash. **Never resolve a conflict by overwriting blindly** — the current content includes another writer\'s work. `last_write_wins: true` skips the check; use it ONLY when an external source of truth makes conflicts meaningless (file re-sync), never to silence a conflict.\n10. **Search: prefer a few distinctive terms; heed `below confidence`.** When nothing clears the relevance threshold, `cerefox_search` returns the closest candidates prefixed with a `below confidence` warning instead of an empty set — that flag means **weak signal, not absent knowledge**: check the candidates\' scores and titles before concluding the KB lacks the content. A truly empty response means nothing even weakly related exists.\n11. **Relations express how documents relate; lifecycle tells you if knowledge is still good.** Use `cerefox_set_relation` when one document supersedes, contradicts, references, or continues another. `supersedes` marks the target **superseded**; `contradicts` marks **both** stale; `related_to`/`duplicates`/`contradicts` are symmetric (both directions written). Any other type string is accepted without special behaviour. When a search result or `cerefox_get_relations` shows a neighbour marked `[superseded]` or `[stale]`, say so rather than presenting it as current.\n12. **Project memberships — non-destructive by default**: on `cerefox_ingest` updates, **`project_name` (singular) is a non-destructive add** (ensures membership, preserves others). Use **`project_names` (list)** when you want to set the doc\'s full project set in one call (destructive replace). For metadata-only project changes without writing content, use **`cerefox_set_document_projects(document_id, project_names)`** — that tool is the destructive-replace contract made explicit. Never call `cerefox_set_document_projects` with a single name when you mean "add" — that would REMOVE the doc from all other projects. When in doubt, use `cerefox_ingest` with singular `project_name`.\n\n## Update Workflow (ID-based -- preferred)\n\n```\nsearch("topic") -> find doc [id: abc123] -> get_document(abc123) -> note its content_hash -> modify ->\ningest(title="Same Title", content="...", document_id="abc123",\n       expected_content_hash="<the hash you read>", author="my-agent")\n```\n\nOn a **conflict** error: get_document again (fresh content + fresh hash) -> merge your changes -> retry with the new hash.\n\n## Update Workflow (title-based -- fallback)\n\n```\nsearch("topic") -> find doc (note its hash) -> modify ->\ningest(title="Same Title", content="...", update_if_exists=true,\n       expected_content_hash="<the hash you read>", author="my-agent")\n```\n\n## Catch-Up Workflow\n\n```\nmetadata_search(metadata_filter={"type": "decision-log"}, updated_since="2026-03-28T00:00:00Z")\n```\n\n## CLI fallback (when MCP is unavailable)\n\nIf `cerefox_search` is not in your tool list, your user has likely installed the Cerefox CLI. The canonical invocation is plain **`cerefox <subcommand>`** (the TypeScript CLI, installed via `npm install -g @cerefox/memory`). It uses a resource-verb shape (`cerefox document get`, `cerefox project list`, …).\n\nSame operations, same conventions. Full reference: [`docs/guides/cli.md`](docs/guides/cli.md). CLI flag names match MCP parameter names exactly (e.g. `metadata_filter` ↔ `--metadata-filter`); common flags also have single-letter short forms (`-f`, `-p`, `-c`, `-m`, `-u`, `-a`, `-r`). Use the canonical long name (what `--help` shows) or its short form — there are no long-form aliases like `--filter` or `--count`.\n\n| MCP tool | CLI |\n|---|---|\n| `cerefox_search` | `cerefox search "<q>" --requestor "<your-name>"` |\n| `cerefox_ingest` (paste) | `printf \'...\' \\| cerefox document ingest --paste --title "<t>" --author "<your-name>" --author-type agent` |\n| `cerefox_ingest` (update by ID) | `printf \'...\' \\| cerefox document ingest --paste --title "<t>" --document-id "<uuid>" --expected-content-hash "<hash>" --author "<your-name>" --author-type agent` |\n| `cerefox_get_document` | `cerefox document get <id> --version-id <vid> --requestor "<your-name>"` |\n| `cerefox_list_versions` | `cerefox document version list <id> --requestor "<your-name>"` |\n| `cerefox_list_projects` | `cerefox project list --requestor "<your-name>"` |\n| `cerefox_list_metadata_keys` | `cerefox metadata keys` |\n| `cerefox_set_relation` | Link two documents (`source --rel_type--> target`) | `source_id`, `target_id`, `rel_type` (required), `metadata`, `author` |\n| `cerefox_delete_relation` | Remove a relation | `source_id`, `target_id`, `rel_type` |\n| `cerefox_get_relations` | All relations touching a document, both directions | `document_id` |\n| `cerefox_get_neighbors` | Walk the graph along ONE relation type | `document_id`, `rel_type` (required), `depth`, `from_time`, `to_time`, `limit` |\n| `cerefox_metadata_search` | `cerefox metadata search --metadata-filter \'<json>\' --requestor "<your-name>"` (list a project: `cerefox document list --project <name>`) |\n| `cerefox_set_document_projects` | `cerefox document set-projects <id> <name...> --author "<your-name>" --author-type agent` (or `--clear` to remove all) |\n| `cerefox_get_audit_log` | `cerefox audit list --requestor "<your-name>"` (add `--json` for scripted access) |\n| `cerefox_get_help` | `cerefox guides show agent-quick-reference` (or `cerefox guides list` for the full bundled-docs index) |\n\n**Set identity on every call**, exactly as you would on MCP:\n- Writes (`document ingest`, `document ingest-dir`): `--author "<your-name>" --author-type agent`\n- Reads: `--requestor "<your-name>"`\n\nOr have your user set `CEREFOX_AUTHOR_NAME` / `CEREFOX_AUTHOR_TYPE` / `CEREFOX_REQUESTOR_NAME` in their `.env` to apply defaults once.\n', HELP_SECTIONS, HELP_SECTION_HEADINGS;

     "Essential Rules": '## Essential Rules\n\n1. **Search before ingesting** -- check if the document exists first.\n2. **Prefer ID-based updates** -- pass `document_id` from search results for deterministic updates. Falls back to title-matching with `update_if_exists: true`.\n3. **Set `author`/`requestor`** to your name on every call (e.g., "Claude Code", "archiver"). On MCP, pass as parameters. On CLI, pass `--author`/`--author-type`/`--requestor` flags, or rely on `CEREFOX_AUTHOR_NAME`/`CEREFOX_AUTHOR_TYPE`/`CEREFOX_REQUESTOR_NAME` env vars set in the user\'s `.env`.\n4. **Use `document_id` from search results** `[id: uuid]` for get_document and list_versions.\n5. **Add metadata** -- at minimum `type` ("decision-log", "research", "design-doc") and `status` ("active", "draft").\n6. **Write structured Markdown** with H1/H2/H3 headings for good chunking and search.\n7. **Deletes are soft (recoverable); purge is web-UI-only.** If you decide to delete, surface it to the user (`I soft-deleted X — recoverable from the Cerefox web UI trash`). You cannot un-do your own delete from agent code by design.\n8. **Cross-doc links inside content**: **always use `[Text](document-uuid)`.** UUIDs are the only fully reliable link form — stable across title changes, never ambiguous, no encoding gotchas. Every `cerefox_search` result shows `[id: <uuid>]` after the title; grab it and use it. Title-based linking (`[Text](<Title With Spaces>)`) is fragile (breaks on colons, parens, ampersands, brackets — silently navigates to wrong page) — **don\'t write title-based links**; do an extra search to get the UUID instead. Repo-path forms (`[Text](docs/path.md)`) exist for repo-ingested files; don\'t construct manually. See `AGENT_GUIDE.md → Writing linkable content` for the full rule.\n9. **Concurrency: content updates require `expected_content_hash`.** Pass the `content_hash` you read (shown by `cerefox_get_document`, `cerefox_search`, and `cerefox_metadata_search`) when updating a document. If it\'s stale you get a **conflict** — re-read the document, merge your changes into the latest content, retry with the new hash. **Never resolve a conflict by overwriting blindly** — the current content includes another writer\'s work. `last_write_wins: true` skips the check; use it ONLY when an external source of truth makes conflicts meaningless (file re-sync), never to silence a conflict.\n10. **Search: prefer a few distinctive terms; heed `below confidence`.** When nothing clears the relevance threshold, `cerefox_search` returns the closest candidates prefixed with a `below confidence` warning instead of an empty set — that flag means **weak signal, not absent knowledge**: check the candidates\' scores and titles before concluding the KB lacks the content. A truly empty response means nothing even weakly related exists.\n11. **Relations express how documents relate; lifecycle tells you if knowledge is still good.** Use `cerefox_set_relation` when one document supersedes, contradicts, references, or continues another. `supersedes` marks the target **superseded**; `contradicts` marks **both** stale; `related_to`/`duplicates`/`contradicts` are symmetric (both directions written). Any other type string is accepted without special behaviour. When a search result or `cerefox_get_relations` shows a neighbour marked `[superseded]` or `[stale]`, say so rather than presenting it as current.\n12. **Project memberships — non-destructive by default**: on `cerefox_ingest` updates, **`project_name` (singular) is a non-destructive add** (ensures membership, preserves others). Use **`project_names` (list)** when you want to set the doc\'s full project set in one call (destructive replace). For metadata-only project changes without writing content, use **`cerefox_set_document_projects(document_id, project_names)`** — that tool is the destructive-replace contract made explicit. Never call `cerefox_set_document_projects` with a single name when you mean "add" — that would REMOVE the doc from all other projects. When in doubt, use `cerefox_ingest` with singular `project_name`.',
