Lore DB | Docs

AI Agent Prompts

When your AI tools connect to Lore DB via MCP, they need instructions on how to behave. These ready-to-use prompts tell your AI agent how to search, create, and update documents effectively.

Choose your tool

  • Claude — Custom instructions for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Claude.ai
  • Cursor — Cursor rules file for IDE integration
  • ChatGPT — ChatGPT memory and custom instructions

Two levels of instructions

For Editors (can write)

Editors need full instructions covering:

  • When to capture knowledge (troubleshooting steps, process changes, architecture decisions)
  • How to write documents (titles, structure, context)
  • How to handle updates (additive, never silently overwrite)
  • Where to put new documents (which library)
  • What NOT to document (credentials, PII)

For Viewers (read only)

Viewers just need a short instruction telling the AI to search Lore DB when answering questions. The server automatically blocks write operations for Viewers, so no writing instructions are needed.
