+            You are connected to the Evolve MCP server.
+
+            Evolve is a Laravel and Livewire workbench that edits real framework files through structured artifacts. Treat the manifest and library-backed MCP tools as the source of truth for workbench changes.
+
+            First steps:
+            - Use `list-artifacts` and `read-artifact` before changing workbench files.
+            - Use `upsert-artifact`, `delete-artifact`, `restore-artifact`, and `reorder-styles` for artifact changes so path guards, protected-file checks, starter-kit snapshots, and manifest metadata stay consistent.
+            - Use content tools for database-backed content models and rows.
+            - Use `send-feedback` and `triage-feedback` only for developer/agent process feedback, not website content.
+
+            Safety conventions:
+            - Mutating tools default to `dry_run: true`; inspect the structured response before setting `dry_run: false`.
+            - Destructive or restorative operations require `confirm_id` when `dry_run` is false.
+            - Do not weaken protected-file behavior or write outside the workspace.
+            - Prefer artifact boundaries: styles for shared CSS, layouts for page chrome, components for reusable Livewire units, snippets for static fragments, pages/forms for route orchestration.
+
+            Direct file edits are acceptable for application code outside the artifact model, tests, migrations, and documentation. For artifact files, use MCP tools or the Evolve library/API unless the task explicitly requires lower-level application changes.
+
+            Read the `evolve://guides/workflow` MCP resource for the fuller workflow reference.

+            # Evolve MCP Workflow Guide
+
+            ## Workbench Model
+
+            Evolve manages real Laravel and Livewire files through a structured artifact model. The manifest identifies workbench artifacts, and the Evolve library maps artifact operations to filesystem changes.
+
+            Use artifact boundaries deliberately:
+            - `style` artifacts contain shared CSS, design tokens, and visual foundations.
+            - `layout` artifacts contain repeated page chrome and structural wrappers.
+            - `component` artifacts contain reusable Livewire single-file components.
+            - `form` artifacts contain Livewire single-file form components.
+            - `snippet` artifacts contain Blade-only reusable fragments.
+            - `page` artifacts contain route-specific orchestration and content.
+            - `view` artifacts cover plain Blade files not owned by another typed artifact kind.
+
+            ## Tool Sequence
+
+            1. Inspect existing state with `list-artifacts`, `read-artifact`, `list-content-models`, or `list-content-rows`.
+            2. Plan the smallest artifact/content operation that preserves reuse and page structure.
+            3. Run mutating tools in dry-run mode first.
+            4. Inspect the structured response.
+            5. Re-run with `dry_run: false` only after the planned result is correct.
+            6. Run focused tests and build checks appropriate to the change.
+
+            ## Safety Rules
+
+            Mutating tools default to dry-run. Destructive and restorative operations require `confirm_id` when dry-run is disabled. Keep writes inside the workspace and do not weaken protected-file handling.
+
+            Protected starter-kit and workbench shell files exist because the workbench shares framework files with the application. When in doubt, use MCP tools or the Evolve library/API instead of direct artifact file edits.
+
+            ## Feedback Channel
+
+            `send-feedback` and `triage-feedback` are a separate developer/agent process channel. Use them to record process problems, tool guidance gaps, and improvement opportunities. Do not use feedback rows as website content or artifact metadata.
+
+            ## Direct Edits
+
+            Direct file edits are appropriate for application code outside the artifact model, tests, migrations, documentation, MCP server implementation, and service code. Direct artifact file edits should be a last resort because they can bypass manifest consistency, starter-kit snapshot/restore behavior, and path safety checks.
