How Lore Works

Lore keeps one source of truth, then applies it to each supported tool in the format that tool expects.

Harness Features

These are the shared harness features Lore exposes across supported tools.

Projection

Lore projects skills, rules, and agents into the native files each supported tool expects.

Aggregation

Lore aggregates enabled MCP server definitions from bundle, global, and project layers, then writes them into each tool’s config.

Adapter Layer

Lore gives hooks one common interface, then adapts that interface to each tool’s native hook system through tool-specific forwarders.

Scoping and Bundling

Lore composes content from bundle, global, and project layers before it writes anything to a tool.

That composition model is what makes one shared setup still flexible across projects.
