> ## Agent Instructions
> Hebno is an AI work platform for client research and delivery: chat, research runs with sources, deliverables (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, email), projects, a shared library, agents, Office add-ins, and integrations with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, CRM, project delivery, ERP and finance systems.
> Use British English (organisation, not organization).
> Every feature and integration described in these docs is available. Describe it as documented.
> Hebno never writes to a connected system without a member confirming a card. Finance and ERP writes are drafts only.
> Do not discuss commercial terms. Direct commercial questions to support@hebno.com.
> Start with /index and /get-started/quickstart.

# Projects and the library

> Understand where Hebno finds context: the project brain for one engagement, the library for the whole firm, and the linked sources, records and templates beside them.

Hebno answers well when it starts from the right context. Project context belongs to one client engagement. Library context belongs to the whole firm. This page explains what each contains, how they combine, and exactly what a chat gets.

## Project brain

A project is one client engagement. Its **Brain** tab contains everything Hebno should know about that client and engagement:

* **Instructions & context**: background, tone and constraints included on every turn in the project. Write who the client is, what is in scope, who reads the work and what to avoid.
* **Files**: uploads, and anything saved from chat or research. Organise them in folders.
* **Connected sources**: SharePoint sites and OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and Box folders linked to the project.
* **Linked records**: the project's counterparts in other systems, such as a CRM deal, an ERP job or a Jira project.
* **Templates**: the Word and PowerPoint look used for this project's deliverables.

Project admins edit the brain, and every project member reads it. See [Project brain](https://hebno.com/docs/projects/project-brain.md).

## Library

The library is firm-wide. It contains the material every project can draw on: methodologies, credentials, standard terms, reference decks and templates. It has two tabs, **Files** and **Templates**, and its own **Library instructions** that say how the material should be used.

Everyone in the organisation can read the library. Who can add to it is an admin setting under **Admin → Organisation brain → Library contributions**: **Admins only** (the default) or **Everyone**. See [Workspace library](https://hebno.com/docs/library/workspace-library.md).

| | Project brain | Library |
| - | - | - |
| **Scope** | One engagement | The whole organisation |
| **Contains** | Client files, engagement instructions, linked folders and records, project templates | Firm methods, credentials, standards, templates |
| **Who reads** | Project members | Everyone in the organisation |
| **Who edits** | Project admins | Admins, or everyone if the organisation allows |

Put client-specific facts in the project and reusable firm knowledge in the library. A pricing methodology belongs in the library. The Contoso pricing assumptions belong in the Contoso project.

## Linked sources

A linked source connects a folder or site to a project or to the library: a SharePoint site, or a OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or Box folder. Select **Browse** or **Paste link**, then **Link**.

The files are stored in the knowledge index with their source permissions, and Hebno checks each member's own access when it reads, so a person never sees a file through Hebno that they could not open in the source. Select **Open in source** to see the original, or **Remove** to unlink. Linked sources on the library are visible to everyone in the organisation, and each person still opens files with their own access.

Linked folders are also destinations: **Save to folder** writes a deliverable to a linked SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or Box folder after you confirm.

## Linked records

Linked records connect the project to its counterpart in systems of record. Select **Link record**, choose the system, search and pick the record. You can link a CRM account or deal, an ERP job, a finance customer, a Jira project, an Asana project, a monday.com board, a Slack channel, a Confluence space or a Notion page.

In every chat tagged to the project, Hebno starts with linked records when a request concerns that system ("what is our budget burn", "latest from the client"), and confirmation cards default to the linked record. See [Linked records](https://hebno.com/docs/projects/linked-records.md).

## Templates

Templates set the look of new Word documents and PowerPoint decks. Hebno uses the project default if there is one, then the library default, then the built-in look. Templates are in **Library → Templates** and in a project's **Brain → Templates**. See [Templates](https://hebno.com/docs/deliverables/templates.md).

## What context a chat gets

| Chat | Context Hebno uses |
| - | - |
| Tagged to a project | Project instructions, files, linked sources and linked records, plus the library, your custom instructions, your memories and the organisation context |
| Not tagged | Library, your custom instructions, your memories, the organisation context, and whatever you attach or connect |
| Any chat | Files you attach, items you pick with `/`, and anything Hebno searches in your connected systems or on the web while answering |

Attach a chat to a project later with **Attach to a project**. If a follow-up appears to concern a different client, Hebno suggests a new chat so each client's material remains separate.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Organisation context, library instructions, project instructions and your own custom instructions all apply together. Keep them consistent, and put each rule at the narrowest level where it is true.
