# Examples

Configuration examples for different hosts and use cases.

## DeepSeek Harness

### Basic Setup

**`cordis.patch.yml`**:

```yaml
- id: evo
  name: evo/cordis
  config: {}

- id: evo-deepseek
  name: evo/deepseek
  config:
    provider: deepseek-official
    model: deepseek-chat
    recallLimit: 40
    maxContextChars: 6000
    reflect: true

- id: evo-web
  name: evo
  config: {}
```

See: [`examples/cordis.yml`](https://github.com/TIZ36/evo/blob/main/examples/cordis.yml)

### Custom Storage

```yaml
- id: evo
  name: evo/cordis
  config:
    dataDir: /srv/agent-memory

# Or specific database path
- id: evo
  name: evo/cordis
  config:
    databasePath: /srv/agent-memory/team-a.db
```

### Read-Only Mode

Recall memories but never write new ones:

```yaml
- id: evo-deepseek
  name: evo/deepseek
  config:
    provider: deepseek-official
    model: deepseek-chat
    reflect: false
```

## Claude Code

### User-Level Hooks

**`~/.claude/settings.json`**:

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "SessionStart": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "evo-hook", "timeout": 20 }] }
    ],
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "evo-hook", "timeout": 20 }] }
    ],
    "Stop": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "evo-hook", "timeout": 20 }] }
    ]
  }
}
```

See: [`examples/claude-code-settings.json`](https://github.com/TIZ36/evo/blob/main/examples/claude-code-settings.json)

### Project-Specific

**`.claude/settings.json`** in your project:

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "SessionStart": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "evo-hook", "timeout": 20 }] }
    ],
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "evo-hook", "timeout": 20 }] }
    ],
    "Stop": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "evo-hook", "timeout": 20 }] }
    ]
  }
}
```

### Local Checkout

When using a local checkout instead of npm:

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "SessionStart": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "node /path/to/evo/dist/hook/cli.mjs", "timeout": 20 }] }
    ]
  }
}
```

## Codex

### User-Level Hooks

**`~/.codex/hooks.json`**:

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "SessionStart": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "evo-hook", "timeout": 20 }] }
    ],
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "evo-hook", "timeout": 20 }] }
    ],
    "Stop": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "evo-hook", "timeout": 20 }] }
    ]
  }
}
```

See: [`examples/codex-hooks.json`](https://github.com/TIZ36/evo/blob/main/examples/codex-hooks.json)

## Environment Variables

### Fast Feedback (Smaller Batches)

```bash
export EVO_HOOK_BATCH_TURNS=3
export EVO_HOOK_BATCH_IDLE_MS=60000  # 1 minute
```

### More Context Per Turn

```bash
export EVO_HOOK_TURN_USER_CHARS=800
export EVO_HOOK_TURN_ASSISTANT_CHARS=1200
export EVO_HOOK_MAX_CHARS=10000
```

### Debug Logging

```bash
export EVO_HOOK_DEBUG=1
```

### Recall Only (No Reflection)

```bash
export EVO_HOOK_REFLECT=0
```

### Skip Workspace Import

```bash
export EVO_HOOK_IMPORT=0
```

## Programmatic Usage

### Remember a Fact

```ts
await ctx.evo.remember({
  scope: { type: 'project', id: '/workspace/app' },
  kind: 'fact',
  title: 'Database connection',
  content: 'Use connection pool size of 10 for production.',
  tags: ['database', 'production']
})
```

### Recall with Filters

```ts
const items = await ctx.evo.recall({
  scopes: [{ type: 'project', id: '/workspace/app' }],
  kinds: ['constraint', 'procedure'],
  text: 'deploy',
  limit: 10
})
```

### Force Workspace Re-import

```ts
await ctx.evo.importWorkspace('/workspace/app', { force: true })
```

### Trigger Consolidation

```ts
const result = await ctx.evo.consolidate({
  type: 'project',
  id: '/workspace/app'
})
console.log(`Consolidated ${result.before} → ${result.after} items`)
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://evo-5.gitbook.io/evo/resources/examples.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
