Your First Interaction

NOTE

Step 1 of 4 in the Getting Started Journey.

Before diving into workflows and methodologies, confirm that everything works. You need one agent interaction that produces a visible result.

Talk to the Memory Agent​

  1. Open GitHub Copilot Chat (Ctrl+Alt+I).

  2. Select the memory agent from the agent picker.

  3. Type this prompt:

    Remember that I am a [your role] and I'm learning HVE Core for the first time.

    Replace [your role] with your actual role, such as software engineer, tech lead, product manager, or designer.

  4. The agent responds and creates a file in your workspace under memories/. Open it. You'll see your role stored as a note that persists across sessions.

Now verify that other agents can read what the memory agent stored.

  1. Open a new Copilot Chat thread.

  2. Type this prompt:

    Explain what this repository does and how it helps someone in my role.

  3. The response references your role without you mentioning it again. Copilot read the memory file, found your stored context, and tailored the explanation.

You just proved four things: HVE Core is installed, agents respond to natural language, the memory system creates real files, and other agents use those files to personalize their responses.

What Is the Memory Agent?​

The memory agent stores notes that persist across conversations. Agents and prompts can read these notes to personalize their behavior. When you told it your role, every future interaction can use that context without you repeating it.

This is a small example of a larger pattern in HVE Core: agents produce artifacts (files, documents, plans) rather than chat responses alone. The artifacts carry context forward so you don't repeat yourself.
