MentisDB — veilid

Repo-scoped override. Full MentisDB patterns: call mentisdb_skill_md on the server for the upstream skill, or read ~/.grok/skills/mentisdb/SKILL.md globally.

Fixed identifiers (do not change)

Setting	Value
chain_key	veilid
agent_id	grok-build-cursor

Pass chain_key="veilid" on every mentisdb tool call in this repository.

Mandatory startup

First MCP calls in every session — before repo search or implementation. Required in plan mode too.

1. mentisdb_bootstrap(chain_key="veilid", agent_id="grok-build-cursor", content="Session start in veilid; task: <brief user goal>") — content is required
2. mentisdb_list_agents(chain_key="veilid") — reuse grok-build-cursor; never auto-create agents
3. mentisdb_recent_context(chain_key="veilid", agent_id="grok-build-cursor", last_n=20)
4. mentisdb_ranked_search(chain_key="veilid", text="<current task>", limit=10)
5. mentisdb_append a Summary with role: Checkpoint before starting work

If bootstrap fails with missing field content, retry with a non-empty content string.

Memory scope

• This repo: MentisDB only (chain_key="veilid"). All project decisions, lessons, and conventions go here.
• Global personal prefs: Grok ~/.grok/memory/MEMORY.md is fine for cross-project habits — never duplicate repo facts there.
• Do not use Grok memory_search / memory_get for project-specific recall in this repository.

Write discipline

Search with mentisdb_ranked_search(chain_key="veilid", ...) before every mentisdb_append. Link refs to related thoughts. Write LessonLearned, Decision, Constraint, and Checkpoint thoughts eagerly — including after posting plans or finishing research.
