hive.chart-creation-foundations

Required reading whenever any chart_* tool is available. Teaches the one-tool embedding contract (call chart_render → live chart appears in chat AND a downloadable PNG lands in the queen session dir), the ECharts (data viz) vs Mermaid (structural diagrams) decision, the BI/financial-grade aesthetic baseline (no chartjunk, restrained palette, proper typography, single message per chart), and the canonical spec patterns for the 12 most-common chart types. Skipping this leads to 1990s-Excel charts, missing downloads, and the agent writing markdown image links by hand instead of letting chart_render drive the UI.

Testing & Quality

hive.linkedin-automation

Read before automating LinkedIn with browser_* tools. LinkedIn combines shadow DOM (#interop-outlet), strict Trusted Types CSP that silently drops innerHTML, Lexical composer, native beforeunload dialogs that hang the bridge, and aggressive spam filters — each has bitten us at least once. Verified flows for profile messaging, connection-request acceptance, feed composition, and search. Requires hive.browser-automation. Verified against logged-in production 2026-04-11.

hive.note-taking

Maintain a free-form scratchpad of decisions, extracted values, and open questions so context pruning doesn't lose anything you still need.

hive.terminal-tools-foundations

Required reading whenever any shell_* tool is available. Teaches the foreground/background dichotomy (terminal_exec auto-promotes past 30s, returns a job_id you poll with terminal_job_logs), the standard envelope shape (exit_code, stdout, stdout_truncated_bytes, output_handle, semantic_status, warning, auto_backgrounded, job_id), output handle pagination via terminal_output_get, when to read semantic_status instead of raw exit_code (grep/rg/find/diff/test exit 1 is NOT an error), the destructive-warning surface (rm -rf, git push --force, DROP TABLE), tool preference (use files-tools / gcu-tools / hive_tools before raw shell), and the bash-only-on-macOS policy. Skipping this leads to "tool returned no output" surprises, orphaned jobs, and panic over benign grep exit codes.

hive.terminal-tools-fs-search

Use terminal_rg / terminal_find when you need raw filesystem search outside the project tree — system configs, /var/log, /etc, archive contents — or when files-tools.search_files is too project-scoped. Teaches the rg vs find vs terminal_exec("ls/du/tree") split, common rg flag combos for code/logs/configs, find predicates for mtime/size/type queries, and the rule that for tree views or single-file stat info you should just use terminal_exec instead of inventing a tool. Read before reaching for raw shell to grep or find anything.

DevOps & Security

hive.terminal-tools-job-control

Use when launching anything that runs longer than a minute, anything that streams logs, anything you want to keep running while doing other work — or when terminal_exec auto-backgrounded on you and returned a job_id. Teaches the start→poll→wait pattern with terminal_job_logs offset bookkeeping, the `wait_until_exit=True` blocking-poll idiom, the truncated_bytes_dropped resumption signal, the merge_stderr decision, the SIGINT→SIGTERM→SIGKILL escalation ladder via terminal_job_manage, and the hard rule that jobs die when the terminal-tools server restarts. Read before calling terminal_job_start, or right after terminal_exec auto-backgrounded.
