Summary

This blog post explores adopting microsoft/hve-core into a multi-project operations hub running Squad orchestration.

Key insight: You don't have to choose between hve-core's individual discipline (RPI methodology) and Squad's team orchestration. They operate at different layers. Installing hve-core as a CLI plugin means every Squad agent spawn inherits research discipline without changing any infrastructure.

What's in the post

  • What HVE Core is (49 agents, 102 instructions, collections system)
  • RPI methodology: Research → Plan → Implement → Review
  • How it layers onto Squad without infrastructure changes
  • Context engineering alignment with recent optimization work
  • Installation via CLI plugin (zero repo bloat)
  • What I adopted daily vs what I skipped
  • Honest assessment: what's valuable, what's missing
  • Detailed setup section for integration

Stats

  • 6,500+ words (target: 6K-10K for deep investigation)
  • First-person investigation framing
  • PNW metaphors (workshop, Deception Pass)
  • 4 detailed image prompts (hero, architecture diagram, before/after, closing bridge)
  • Tables for comparison/reference
  • Problem-to-solution narrative arc

Voice checklist

  • ✅ First-person dominant
  • ✅ Investigation framing ("Here's what I found")
  • ✅ Honest about what didn't work
  • ✅ PNW regional metaphors
  • ✅ Tables for clarity
  • ✅ Links to previous related posts
  • ✅ Draft mode enabled (ready for review)

Next steps

  1. Review content for voice/tone alignment
  2. Generate images from prompts in media/2026-05-12-adopting-hve-core/image-prompts.md
  3. Add images to post
  4. Final fact-check pass
  5. Remove draft flag when ready to publish

This post explores how microsoft/hve-core's RPI methodology (Research, Plan, Implement, Review) complements Squad's team orchestration. The key insight: you don't have to choose between individual discipline and team coordination - they operate at different layers.

Key topics covered:
- What HVE Core is (49 agents, 102 instructions, 63 prompts, 11 skills)
- RPI methodology and context engineering
- How it layers onto Squad without infrastructure changes
- CLI plugin installation and collection system
- What I adopted vs what I skipped
- Integration patterns and future exploration

6,500+ words with detailed setup section and honest assessment.
Images: 4 detailed prompts for watercolor illustrations following PNW metaphor style.

- DELETE entire Setup Section (~800 words of tutorial)
- DELETE 'Where to Go from Here' speculative content
- COLLAPSE 'What I Use' and 'What I Skip' into single section
- COLLAPSE 'Context Engineering' to single paragraph
- TIGHTEN intro, discovery, architecture sections
- Remove inventory table, use inline counts
- Keep all 4 HTML image prompts
- Maintain investigation voice and honest assessment

Final: 2,132 words (from ~4,500)

- Fix RPI acronym (add missing Review phase)
- Change 'measurably' to 'noticeably' (unsupported claim)
- Expand honest assessment section (~150 words)
- Add thesis reinforcement before closing CTA
- Replace 2 image prompt comments with mermaid diagrams
