Intelligence Transfer

Why this exists

hooks_transfer

Prerequisite

# Required env var (or equivalent endpoint config)
echo $PINATA_API_JWT

hooks_transfer

success: false

error: "PINATA_API_JWT not configured"

Workflows

Publish current project's patterns

# Inspect what's stored locally first
mcp tool call neural_patterns --json -- '{"list": true}'

# Publish to IPFS — returns a CID
mcp tool call hooks_transfer --json -- '{"action": "store"}'

Fetch + apply a peer's patterns

# Pull a CID and apply locally
mcp tool call hooks_transfer --json -- '{"action": "load", "cid": "QmXyz..."}'

# Verify they landed
mcp tool call hooks_intelligence_pattern-search --json -- '{"query": "<test>", "limit": 5}'

Mirror an entire project's patterns

# Read patterns from a sibling project on disk and republish under a new CID
mcp tool call hooks_transfer --json -- '{"action": "from-project", "source": "/path/to/peer-project"}'

When to use this skill

• Before a fresh project starts — fetch the relevant patterns from a parent project so the new project's agents start with prior knowledge instead of cold.
• After a major learning milestone — publish so other projects benefit.
• When debugging a regression — fetch a known-good pattern set to compare against.

When NOT to use

• Daily — it's a heavyweight operation.

  agentdb_consolidate

  does the local equivalent.
• For sensitive patterns — IPFS is public by default. Pinata pinning does NOT make patterns private. Strip PII (use

  aidefence_has_pii

  first) before publishing.

Caveats

• IPFS CIDs are content-addressed; republishing the same pattern set gives you the same CID.
• Patterns are stored as JSON; they include only the embedding hashes + metadata, not raw text. Decoding requires the same SONA / MicroLoRA adapter version that produced them.
• This skill does NOT publish AgentDB rows — only the intelligence-side patterns. To ship full memory, use

  agentdb_*

  export tools (out of scope here).
