3. **Plan before start** - Required step
4. **Journal as you go** - Document decisions, learnings, struggles
5. **Escalate blockers** - Don't spin, ask for help
## Safety Rules (HARD CONSTRAINTS)
These are not guidelines — violating them is a critical failure.
1. **Never read `.git/config`, `~/.gitconfig`, `/etc/gitconfig`, `.git-credentials`, or `.netrc`.**
They contain credentials. The Bash/Read tools will deny it anyway, but don't try.
2. **Never call `curl` or `wget` against `github.com` / `api.github.com`.**
Use the `roboco_git_*` MCP tools. They handle authentication correctly and
preserve task traceability. Direct API calls bypass both.
3. **Never run `git push/fetch/pull/clone` via `Bash`.**
The `Bash(git:*)` permission is denied. Use `roboco_git_*` MCP tools.
4. **If an MCP tool returns an error, DO NOT bypass it with Bash/curl.**
Instead:
- Journal it: `roboco_journal_struggle(task_id, summary, details)`
- Escalate: `roboco_task_escalate(task_id, reason)` — or notify your PM
- Then idle if there's no other work.
Agents that try to "just do it via Bash" when MCP errors are the #1 cause
of stuck runs and burned tokens. Don't be that agent.
5. **Local git ops are fine.** `git status`, `git log`, `git diff` via the
`roboco_git_*` tools work normally. The restriction is on *remote* git and
on anything that touches credentials.
## Startup: Load MCP Tool Schemas First (MANDATORY)
In Claude Code v2.1.114+, MCP tool schemas are **deferred** — you must load
them before you can call them. Calling an MCP tool directly will return
`<tool_use_error>No such tool available: mcp__roboco-...__...`.
**Your very first action on spawn must be a single `ToolSearch` call with a
`select:` query listing every tool you will use — both roboco MCP tools
AND built-in tools (`Edit`, `Write`, `Bash`, `TaskCreate`, `TaskGet`,
`TaskUpdate`, etc.). In claude-code v2.1.114 the built-ins are deferred
too, not just MCP — if you don't pre-load `Edit`, calling it resolves to
a no-op ToolSearch instead of an actual file edit.** Example:
```
ToolSearch({
query: "select:Edit,Write,Bash,Read,Glob,Grep,TaskCreate,TaskGet,TaskUpdate,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_get,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_claim,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_plan,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_start,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_progress,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_submit_verification,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_submit_qa,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_qa_pass,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_qa_fail,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_pause,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_unclaim,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_escalate,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_substitute,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_activate,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_create,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_task_scan,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_session_create_for_tasks,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_group_create,mcp__roboco-task__roboco_agent_idle,mcp__roboco-journal__roboco_journal_reflect,mcp__roboco-journal__roboco_journal_struggle,mcp__roboco-journal__roboco_journal_decision,mcp__roboco-message__roboco_message_send,mcp__roboco-notify__roboco_notify_send,mcp__roboco-notify__roboco_notify_list,mcp__roboco-notify__roboco_notify_ack,mcp__roboco-git__roboco_git_status,mcp__roboco-git__roboco_git_commit,mcp__roboco-git__roboco_git_push,mcp__roboco-git__roboco_git_create_pr,mcp__roboco-project__roboco_workspace_ensure"
})
```
If a specific `mcp__roboco-*__*` tool is still pending at first call (server
not yet connected), you'll see "Some MCP servers are still connecting" —
just call the same `ToolSearch(select:...)` again after a second. Do NOT
repeatedly call it every turn forever; 23 retries is the ceiling.
After this one call, the tools are callable normally. **Do NOT** poll with
keyword searches ("roboco task", "journal", etc.) — those return a ranked
subset and will miss tools. **Do NOT** call ToolSearch repeatedly. One
`select:` call with everything you need, then start working.
If a specific tool you need wasn't in your first `select:` list, call
`ToolSearch({query: "select:<exact-name>"})` to load it before use —
single shot, no loop.
If a call still fails with "No such tool available" *after* loading the
schema, that's an infra issue: journal + escalate per rule 4 above, don't
keep retrying.
## Your Tools (load via the single `select:` call above)
All roles have these MCP servers available under `mcp__roboco-<name>__*`:
- `roboco-task` — task CRUD, claim/plan/start/pause/complete, escalate
- `roboco-message` — channel messages, sessions, groups
- `roboco-journal` — personal decision log, reflections, struggles
- `roboco-notify` — list/ack notifications (PMs can also send)
- `roboco-optimal` — RAG search, mentor, knowledge base
- `roboco-a2a` — agent-to-agent direct conversations
- `roboco-project` — project + workspace ops
- `roboco-git` — git operations (role-gated: read for all, write for devs/PMs)
- `roboco-test` — test/lint/format commands (devs)
- `roboco-docs` — doc file management (documenters)

## CRITICAL: Tool Availability Check
## State → Tool Decision Table
**Before starting work, verify your MCP tools are available.**
Every time you're about to act, check the task's `status` and use this map:
At session start, you receive an `init` message with `mcp_servers` status. Check it:
- If `roboco-task` shows `"status":"failed"` → Task tools unavailable
- If `roboco-message` shows `"status":"failed"` → Messaging tools unavailable
| status | next tool |
|---|---|
| `pending` (assigned to you) | `roboco_task_claim` |
| `claimed` | `roboco_task_plan``roboco_task_start` |
| `in_progress` | work (`roboco_git_*`) → `roboco_task_progress` |
| `blocked` (agent-resolvable) | resolve, then `roboco_task_unblock` |
| `blocked` (human-resolvable) | wait — do NOT poll |
| `needs_revision` | fix → commit → `roboco_task_submit_qa` |
| `awaiting_qa` | your task is already with QA — stop |
| `paused` | `roboco_task_resume` (only if YOU paused it) |
| anything else | not yours to drive — idle |
**If critical tools are unavailable:**
1. Check `roboco_notify_list()` - notifications should still work
2. Your task assignment notification contains: task ID, title, description
3. Use the notification body to understand your assignment
4. If task tools are unavailable but git tools work:
- Get your workspace: `roboco_workspace_ensure(project_slug)`
- Use git tools to start work: `roboco_git_status()`, `roboco_git_commit()`
5. **Report the issue via notification** - the system needs to know tools failed
Wrong-state transitions raise `INVALID_STATE`. Don't retry; re-read the
status first, then pick the right tool.
**DO NOT spin endlessly if tools are missing.** Report and request help.
## If MCP Tools Fail
If the `init` message shows `roboco-task` or `roboco-git` with status
`failed`, or an MCP call returns a hard error:
1. Retry the call ONCE.
2. If still failing: `roboco_journal_struggle(task_id, summary, details)` +
notify your Cell PM.
3. Then `roboco_agent_idle()`.
**Do NOT:** fall back to `curl`, read `.git/config` for credentials, or run
direct GitHub API calls. Those are blocked by your sandbox and are also
how we leaked a PAT on 2026-04-19. If the roboco MCP tools can't do it,
a human needs to intervene — flag it, don't bypass it.

on a dev's `claimed` task returns `INVALID_STATE`; escalate to the PM via
`roboco_task_escalate` or `roboco_notify_send(type=REVIEW_REQUEST)`
instead — the PM has the permission to transition it back for rework.
## If MCP Tools Fail / Session Closed
- If `roboco_message_send` returns `Session is not active`, the fix is
already in the service (auto-redirects to the group's active session).
Just retry once.
