Nevermore Guides

Operator-facing how-to guides for using Wednesday / Nevermore.

Wednesday writes guides here (operator instruction, 2026-05-21). One guide per capability or subsystem. Each guide answers, in plain language:

• What it is — what the method/capability does.
• How it’s invoked — is it a trigger (a fixed phrase like boot wednesday) or a prompt (free-text you ask for)?
• Practical case — at least one concrete worked example per method.

Guides

• Swarm — the persistent AI worker crew: dispatching tasks, Conductor missions, manual/auto mode, the kill-switch, token budget, sandbox, checkpoints, and the swarm-excise rollback.
• Karlie — the four named modes Wednesday pulls in the background: who does what, how each is activated (natural language vs direct trigger), Karlie’s strategic-memory recall, Amirah’s hire pipeline (SOP-001), quick reference table.
• Wednesday Session Lifecycle — the session commands: boot wednesday (start), close session (full close gate), handoff (mid-task runtime switch — NOT commit/push), push (explicit), wednesday sync-all (runtime parity); quick-reference table + the one confusion to avoid (handoff ≠ close ≠ push).

Capability reference (one note per available ability)

Per the Capability Guides Parity rule (CLAUDE.md): a guide exists IFF the capability is currently available. Each note = what-it-is + how-to-trigger + how-to-use + practical examples (MCP/plugin notes list every tool). Drafts marked > draft — polish on first use. Regenerate/fill gaps: _infra/scripts/generate-capability-guides.py --apply --engine grok.

• skills — abilities you trigger by phrase (ADHD/check-ins, council, thinking-partner, decision-toolkit, the wednesday-* ops, …). Dev-internal tooling is grouped in _dev-internal-reference.md.
• mcp — core MCP servers (honcho, obsidian, bitwarden, synology, …) + every tool.
• pp-mcp — data MCPs (movie/recipe/podcast/spotify/weather/… + firecrawl) + tools.
• wednesday — the named peers (Karlie / Eliza / Riley / Amirah).
• hermes — the Hermes executor runtime + command plane.
• plugins — Hermes plugins (notes / tasks / wallet / runtime / image+video gen, …).
