Mneno provides a built-in CLI command to bootstrap coding-agent instructions and shared workflow documentation within your repository. This helps AI coding assistants understand how to recover and update local workspace memories.

​
Installing Templates

To install coding-agent instructions into an initialized repository, use the mneno setup-agent command: 
mneno init
mneno setup-agent <agent-name>
This copies the selected agent template and shared Mneno workflow documents into your current repository. It is a local filesystem operation only, requiring no MCP server, cloud account, provider configuration, or external network calls.

​
Supported Agents

Mneno currently supports the following coding assistants:
  • codex
  • claude-code
  • cursor
  • gemini-cli
  • windsurf
For example, to configure instructions for Claude Code, run: 
mneno setup-agent claude-code

​
Safety And Overwrites

By default, setup refuses to overwrite existing integration files. Preview changes with --dry-run: 
mneno setup-agent codex --dry-run
Intentionally replace existing agent integration files with --force or -f: 
mneno setup-agent codex --force

​
Shared Workflow Documents

When you run setup-agent, Mneno copies shared workflow docs into .mneno/agent-docs/:
  • AGENT_WORKFLOW.md: standard workflows for when and how the agent should read or update memories.
  • MEMORY_GUIDELINES.md: criteria for durable, useful memories and what not to store.
  • COMMAND_REFERENCE.md: local mneno CLI command reference and cautions.
Claude Code also receives a valid Agent Skills package at .mneno/skills/mneno-memory/, including SKILL.md and local references/ files copied from the shared docs.
