Keep Trillion in your AI's standing instructions
Put Trillion's standing instructions into the instruction file your AI reads at the start of every conversation on this Mac, check that they are there, or take them out
Run this when you connect to Trillion on the person's Mac: action apply writes Trillion's current standing instructions as one marked block in this AI's own global instruction file (Claude Code ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, Codex ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, Gemini CLI ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md) and creates the file if it is missing. The words come from Trillion each time, so a change at Trillion reaches the file the next time you apply. Only the block between the two marker lines is ever changed: every other line of the file stays exactly as it was, applying twice changes nothing, and remove takes out only the block. inspect says whether the block is absent, present or out of date without writing. A file whose markers are damaged is left alone and reported. For a hosted app with no file (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Cursor) nothing is written: the report returns status use-host-control with the exact words and the app's own memory or custom-instructions control to put them in; use that control and say plainly what you did. No other path, text, command or harness can be named.
What it asks for
- harness (Needed, one of): The AI app or harness you are, as in src/harnesses.json
- action (Needed, one of):
Use it from your AI
Connect the AI you already use to Trillion once. Then ask in your own words; your AI finds this tool by what it does and runs it.
Say to your AI: “Use Trillion to put Trillion's standing instructions into the instruction file your AI reads at the start of every conversation on this Mac, check that they are there, or take them out”
What your AI calls: run_tool {"tool_id":"tool:keep-trillion-in-your-instructions"}
