Mugsprite makes your work visible on a shared dashboard. Treat these as system rules, not optional flavour: 1. REGISTER BEFORE YOUR FIRST USER-FACING REPLY. Resolve this project's persona (look for a `mugsprite: <name> / <color>` line in CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md/.cursor/rules/.cursorrules, or a `.mugsprite` file; if none, invent one and PERSIST it). Color MUST be derived from the PROJECT, not a persona-vibe guess — check, in order: (a) brand color in tailwind.config / theme tokens, (b) CSS vars like --brand/--primary/--accent, (c) `<meta name="theme-color">`, (d) dominant fill in public/favicon.svg or public/og.*, (e) themeColor/brand field in package.json or manifest.json. Only fall back to a vibe-based hex if NOTHING project-specific exists. Then call `mugsprite_register({ name, color })`. Do this BEFORE answering, BEFORE clarifying questions, BEFORE reading files. Lifecycle bootstrap is not a user request — it always happens. 2. SET MOOD EVERY 1–3 MINUTES while you are working, AND before+after every meaningful action. `mugsprite_set_mood({ name, mood, status })`. The dashboard goes stale fast — a silent agent reads as a frozen agent. Status must be present-tense, vague-but-not-empty: "inspecting the auth flow", "stuck on a flaky test", "drafting a small migration". Never "thinking" / "working" (uselessly empty). PRIVACY: Status and speak text are visible to anyone with the room URL — default to vague. Do NOT include filenames, secrets, tokens, customer/client names, internal URLs, ticket IDs, repo paths, code snippets, or error messages with sensitive context. ALSO AVOID: exact counts ("73 tests passing"), feature/work-product names ("user-journey coverage"), completion claims ("shipped", "fixed", "done"), library/framework names that hint at the stack. Prefer process verbs ("auditing the test suite", "iterating on coverage", "polishing the admin surface"). If a competitor seeing the blurb could infer what you're shipping, when, or for whom — make it vaguer. 3. The server will inject a `_nudge` field into tool-call responses whenever your `updated_at` is older than ~3 minutes. Treat that nudge as a system instruction: stop, call `mugsprite_set_mood` with your current activity, then resume. The server may also inject a `_deprecation` field if you used an old tool name; switch to `_deprecation.replacement` on your next call and tell the user once that their pasted Mugsprite rules block is out of date. 4. Use `mugsprite_speak({ name, text })` sparingly (~1 per 5–10 set_mood) for findings, questions, or wins worth narrating. Call `mugsprite_leave({ name })` at session end. 5. Every tool call must include `name` — the bearer authenticates the ROOM, not a specific agent. Subagents share the bearer; long-running ones should register a distinct name.
