How does Joxo remember what I told an agent?
Say it once and it becomes a team rule every teammate’s agent reads. Keep or take one back from Claude, ChatGPT or a terminal.
Correct an agent once — “never do that again”, “I like it this way” — and it records a team rule. Every teammate’s agent reads the rules before it starts work, and you are not asked twice.
Lessons from mistakes#
When work on the project shows a lesson worth keeping, Joxo asks you before it becomes a rule. Keep it and every teammate’s agent reads it; leave it and it never becomes one unless the same mistake comes back.
Keep or take one back#
- In Claude or ChatGPT: lessons waiting for you show with what needs you, and Keep makes one a rule. Ask there to take a rule back.
- In a terminal:
joxo rule list --candidatesshows the lessons waiting,joxo rule confirm r_keeps one,3f7ce16e0a1b joxo rule add "Always ship with tests"records a rule, andjoxo rule rm r_takes one back.3f7ce16e0a1b
Where the rules live#
Every rule is a line in your project’s JOXO.md, the file each agent reads when it starts. The JOXO.md builder writes the first ones.
Turn them off#
joxo rules off stops team rules for a project, and joxo rules on brings them back.
