## **Three Pillars of Intelligent Workflow Management**

### **Intelligent Guidance** | **Seamless Transitions** | **Repository Pattern Architecture**

## **QUICK START**

### **Option 1: NPX (Recommended)**

> Add to your MCP client config

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anubis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\\path\\to\\projects"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### **Option 2: Docker (MCP Configuration)**

**For Unix/Linux/macOS (mcp.json):**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anubis": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "-v",
        "${PWD}:/app/workspace",
        "-v",
        ".anubis:/app/.anubis",
        "hiveacademy/anubis"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

**For Windows (mcp.json):**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anubis": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "-v",
        "C:\\path\\to\\your\\project:/app/workspace",
        "-v",
        "C:\\path\\to\\your\\project\\.anubis:/app/.anubis",
        "hiveacademy/anubis"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

---

## **INITIALIZE CUSTOM-MODES ( AGENT RULES)**

> Once you get the mcp server running you need to initialize the rules (custom-modes) for the agent you are using

**Supported Agents**: `cursor` • `copilot` • `roocode` • `kilocode`

### **Step 1: Initialize Intelligent Guidance**

```
Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for [your-agent-name] by calling the init_rules MCP tool
```

### **Step 2: Start Your Workflow**

```
Begin a new workflow for [your-project] with Anubis guidance
```

---

## **ROOCODE Setup Example**

[![Anubis MCP server Demo](https://img.youtube.com/vi/NPWrGJ_lRqY/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/embed/NPWrGJ_lRqY?si=dXFzTf-qJqNRzOu6&start=477)

1- install the MCP server:

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anubis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\\path\\to\\projects"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

2- then make sure you are on Code mode and ask it to generate the custom Anubis mode for you

`Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for roocode by calling the init_rules MCP tool`

3- reload the window and you should see the custom mode in the modes dropdown list. activate it and ask it to create your first task

4- also if you don't have a memory bank files, ask it to generate them for you as the first task.

## **Cursor Setup Example**

**For Cursor users, here's a complete setup example:**

1. **Install MCP Server in Cursor:**
   - Open Cursor Settings (`Cmd/Ctrl + ,`)
   - Navigate to "Extensions" → "MCP Servers"
   - Add new server configuration:
   ```
   "anubis": {
     "command": "npx",
     "args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\\path\\to\\projects"
      }
   }
   ```
2. **Initialize Cursor Rules**

- Make Sure the mcp server is working and active.
- ask the agent to `Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for cursor by calling the init_rules MCP tool`.
- you should see a file generated at .cursor/rules with the name `000-workflow-core.mdc`
- Head over to cursor rules and make sure the rules file are added and active.

### Now You are ready to start you first task 🚀.

> Hint: an important first step task is to generate memory-bank files
> Ask the agent to `Please create a task to analyze codebase and generate memory-bank files (ProjectOverview.md, TechnicalArchitecture.md, and DeveloperGuide.md)`

## **Claude Code Setup Example**

- To install the mcp server use this command `claude mcp add anubis npx -y @hive-academy/anubis`

  > make sure you are on the poject root you want to install this into.

- To make sure it's installed correctly run `claude mcp list` you should see a server with name `anubis`.

- now you will need to do a very important step:
  - Download this rules markdown file [Anubis Rules](https://github.com/Hive-Academy/Anubis-MCP/blob/main/.roo/rules-anubis/rules.md)
  - Save it inside your project for example inside a folder names `rules` and file name `anubis-rules.md`.
  - Then open your CLAUDE.md file and add the following:
    `Anubis Workflow @rules/anubis-rules.md`

## **CORE VALUE #1: INTELLIGENT GUIDANCE FOR AI AGENTS**

**Your AI agent receives step-by-step intelligent rules for every development task:**

```javascript
// Before Anubis: Chaotic, directionless coding
"Create a user authentication system" →  Where do I start?

// With Anubis: Intelligent guidance at every step
"Create a user authentication system" →
   Requirements Analysis (Researcher Role)
   System Architecture (Architect Role)
   Enhanced Implementation with Subtasks (Senior Dev Role)
   Quality Validation (Code Review Role)
   Delivery Preparation (Integration Engineer Role)
```

**Benefits:**

- **30-50% faster development** with structured workflows
- **40-60% fewer defects** through quality gates
- **100% MCP-compliant** guidance without execution

---

## **CORE VALUE #2: SEAMLESS TASK & ROLE TRANSITIONS**

**Never lose context when switching between roles or continuing tasks:**

```javascript
// Seamless context preservation across transitions
{
  "currentRole": "architect",
  "completedSteps": ["requirements", "design"],
  "context": {
    "decisions": ["JWT for auth", "PostgreSQL for storage"],
    "rationale": "Scalability and security requirements",
    "nextSteps": ["Enhanced Implementation with Subtasks by Senior Dev role"]
  }
}
// → Switch roles without losing any context!
```

**Features:**

- **Intelligent context preservation** between role switches
- **Automatic task handoffs** with full history
- **Role-based boundaries** for focused expertise
- **Pause and resume** workflows anytime
