brv query and brv curate commands to retrieve and store project knowledge.
Connector Types
ByteRover supports two connector types:Rules Connector
Creates a configuration file in your project that your coding agent reads for instructions. Works with all 18 supported coding agents.
Hook Connector
Injects instructions directly into each prompt via coding agent hooks. Currently only supported for Claude Code.
| Type | How it works | Supported coding agents |
|---|---|---|
| Rules | Coding agent reads from a project file (e.g., CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules) | All 18 coding agents |
| Hooks | Instructions injected on each prompt submission | Claude Code only |
The /connectors Command
Use the /connectors slash command in REPL mode to manage your coding agent connections interactively.
- Detect - Scans for currently installed connectors
- Select - Choose to manage an existing connector or connect a new coding agent
- Configure - Pick your coding agent and connector type (rules or hooks)
- Install - Creates the configuration file or hook
For hook connectors, restart your coding agent after installation to apply the new hooks.
