# PAMPA MCP Usage Rule
You have access to PAMPA, a code memory system that indexes and allows semantic search in projects.
## Basic Instructions
1. **ALWAYS at the start of a session:**
- Run `get_project_stats` to check if the project is indexed
- If no database exists, run `index_project`
- Run `update_project` to sync with recent changes
2. **BEFORE creating any function:**
- Use `search_code` with semantic queries like "user authentication", "validate email", "error handling"
- Review existing code with `get_code_chunk` before writing new code
3. **AFTER modifying code:**
- Run `update_project` to update the knowledge base
- This keeps the project memory synchronized
## Available Tools
- `search_code(query, limit)` - Search code semantically
- `get_code_chunk(sha)` - Get complete code of a chunk
- `index_project(path)` - Index project for the first time
- `update_project(path)` - Update index after changes
- `get_project_stats(path)` - Get project statistics
## Strategy
Use PAMPA as your project memory. Search before creating, keep updated after changes, and leverage existing knowledge to avoid code duplication.
