Use when users want to bootstrap the brain with existing project knowledge -- reading ADRs, feature specs, UX docs, commit history, retro lessons, and error patterns to seed institutional memory on a project that already has artifacts on disk. Also use for incremental re-hydration after significant work outside the pipeline. Triggers on "hydrate brain", "bootstrap brain", "seed memory", "brain init", "populate brain", "import history".

Use when users want to set up or connect to the Atelier Brain -- the persistent memory layer for the pipeline. Handles first-time setup (personal or shared), colleague onboarding from existing config, database provisioning, and connection verification.

Use when a project's design system lives outside the project root (e.g., a shared monorepo package, a sibling directory). Sets design_system_path in pipeline-config.json so all agents use the specified path instead of the default design-system/ convention.

Use when users ask about the atelier-pipeline system, how it works, what agents do, or how to use the multi-agent orchestration pipeline. Covers agent roster, pipeline flow, quality gates, and key principles.

Use when users want to install or set up the atelier-pipeline multi-agent orchestration system in their project. Bootstraps all agent personas, rules, commands, references, and pipeline state files. Works for new and existing projects.
