Agent Instructions

Read the line that matches your task, then the file it names. The canonical gate (bun run check) is the safety net; these lines are the route.

Tracker and domain

• Before reading or changing an issue or spec, follow docs/agents/issue-tracker.md.
• Before applying or interpreting triage labels, follow docs/agents/triage-labels.md.
• Before opening or closing a milestone, gate, or spec issue, follow docs/agents/milestones.md.
• Before creating, running, or closing a Milestone audit, follow docs/agents/milestone-audit.md.
• Before shaping a spec or cutting it into slices, follow docs/agents/slicing.md.
• Before exploring or changing a domain area, follow docs/agents/domain.md.

Engineering

• Before changing source, tests, dependencies, tooling, or prototypes, follow docs/agents/engineering-baseline.md.
• Before changing ownership, a Module, its Interface, or a Seam, read docs/agents/module-design.md.
• Before creating or moving target source, changing a public entrypoint, or crossing a Module, read docs/agents/topology.md.
• Before changing dependencies, composition, or allowed import direction, read docs/agents/dependencies.md.
• Before changing tests or fixtures, read docs/agents/testing.md.
• Before handling external or persisted input or translating external failures, read docs/agents/validation.md.
• Before starting or changing a prototype, read docs/agents/prototypes.md.
• Before replacing legacy behavior, read docs/agents/refactoring.md.
• Before adding, moving, splitting, or materially expanding agent guidance, read docs/agents/guidance.md.
• Before declaring an implementation issue complete, read docs/agents/change-review.md.

Module-local guidance

Before editing under a Module root that carries its own AGENTS.md, read that file. Each one is listed here by path when it is created:

• src/application/AGENTS.md — Application Module: observed-owner writes, the Trust-grant order, live-Run read rules, and derived-state invariants.
• src/headless/AGENTS.md — headless CLI Module: the exit-code contract, gate re-read, frozen --json shapes, and commander-settings ordering.
• src/tui/AGENTS.md — presentation Module: OpenTUI layout invariants for screen authors.
• src/bundle/AGENTS.md — Bundle Module: digest, validator, and budget invariants for slice authors.
• src/run/store/AGENTS.md — Run Store Module: coordination/run.db split, crash-safety ordering, and fencing invariants for slice authors.
• src/harness/AGENTS.md — Harness Module: Interface opacity, terminal ordering, typed-failure/throw split, and durable-admission invariants.
