AI project onboarding without a terminal

Export a verified Mind's plain-English context file and add it to a visual AI workspace.

AI project onboarding without a terminal

This is the zero-code path for founders, product managers, analysts, and creators who work in a hosted AI project. You do not need Rust, a shell, or a local repository to try the guidance layer.

The four-step flow

Step 1: Choose a profile

Open Mind Vault and search by the kind of work you are doing. Read the focus, principles, guardrails, source links, and verification label before exporting.

Do not select a profile because its name sounds official. The card tells you whether it is a verified public package, a local bundle, or a community proposal. A proposal is useful for exploration but is not a signed runtime package.

Step 2: Export the plain-English file

Select Export for AI Project on the profile card. Your browser downloads a single file named after the profile, ending in -INSTRUCTIONS.md.

The file contains:

  • the profile identity, version, focus, availability, and verification state;
  • plain-English engineering principles;
  • readable versions of the profile guardrails;
  • source links for the interpretation;
  • a short checklist for tests, review, destructive actions, and limitations.

The export is generated locally in the browser from the card's actual data. It does not upload your project, expose secrets, invent an IPFS address, or claim that a referenced maintainer endorses the profile.

Step 3: Add it to your AI project

Use the matching visual destination:

ToolWhere to add the fileWhat to do next
Claude ProjectsProject knowledge / files areaUpload *-INSTRUCTIONS.md, then ask Claude to summarize the active boundaries.
ChatGPT Custom GPTKnowledge filesAdd the file as knowledge, then test with a small change request.
ChatGPT ProjectProject filesUpload the file to the project, then ask which rules apply before generating code.
Bolt.new or v0Project context or uploaded filesAdd the file before the first generation and keep it attached to later iterations.
Cursor, Cline, or Claude CodeProject workspaceSave it as LMP_INSTRUCTIONS.md; connect MCP separately when you need recorded evaluation.

The file is guidance. It does not make a hosted AI tool run the Rust evaluator. For a signed result with selected scope and findings, use the MCP integration or CLI reference.

Step 4: Verify the handoff

Paste this request into the AI project after uploading the file:

Read LMP_INSTRUCTIONS.md. Summarize the profile focus, three boundaries you
will follow, and anything the file cannot prove. Do not change files yet.

Then make a small, reversible request. Check that the response names the profile boundaries instead of claiming that the file guarantees correctness. For a real repository change, still run the project's tests and use LMP's native evaluator when you need a machine-readable decision.

Plain-English rule example

An exported guardrail such as CLICK_OPS_DRIFT becomes Click Ops Drift in the file. The profile's own guidance explains the intended boundary; the export does not pretend that a short label is a complete Terraform analyzer or security audit.

When to move to the developer path

Use the visual export when you need context for a hosted AI project. Move to the developer path when you need:

  • changed-file scope and a signed Mind Package;
  • MCP tools that return structured evidence;
  • repeatable CI checks;
  • enforcement that can block a workflow.

Start with npx lmp init in the CLI reference and keep the exported file as a readable companion to the verified package.
