Codifies what is currently tribal knowledge or only discoverable by reading CI config: the view model / view contract, the rule that nothing reads the page, Clean Code ordering, the three test layers, and reuse-before-you-build. The root AGENTS.md is the always-loaded minimum and routes to docs/agents/, so an agent loads only the detail its task needs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Agent workflow
|
|
|
|
## Scratch files live in `agent-workspace/`
|
|
|
|
Git-ignored. One kebab-case subfolder per task, matching the branch topic:
|
|
`agent-workspace/<slug>/`.
|
|
|
|
| File | Purpose |
|
|
| --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `plan.md` | The concrete approach — files, symbols, edit order — once direction is confirmed |
|
|
| `commit-msg.txt` | `git commit -F agent-workspace/<slug>/commit-msg.txt` |
|
|
| `pr-body.md` | `gh pr create --body-file agent-workspace/<slug>/pr-body.md` |
|
|
| `implementation-summary.md` | What was built, decisions, trade-offs |
|
|
| `NN-prompt.md` | Raw prompt text, numbered, when worth keeping |
|
|
|
|
- Nothing here is durable. The folder is ignored, so anything worth keeping is
|
|
promoted into the PR body, a doc, or a feature spec before the task ends.
|
|
- Never write scratch files to the repo root. Stray `load_test_summary.md` and
|
|
`config.json_` files are what this folder prevents.
|
|
- Start `pr-body.md` from `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` and fill every
|
|
section.
|
|
- Commit subjects are plain imperative English. No conventional-commits prefixes.
|
|
- A `plan.md` and a feature spec sit at different altitudes; neither replaces the
|
|
other. A spec in `FEATURES_SPEC/` is durable and deliberately abstract —
|
|
behaviour, decisions, acceptance criteria — so the feature can be rebuilt against
|
|
a `main` nobody has seen yet. A plan is one slice of it landing on today's
|
|
`main`: the paths, symbols and edit order the spec's decisions and criteria must
|
|
not name. `FEATURES_SPEC/AGENTS.md` wins wherever the two genuinely overlap.
|
|
|
|
## Hand off before the quality pass
|
|
|
|
- Implement the change, run the narrowest check that rules out an obviously broken
|
|
handoff, then stop and ask whether the direction is right.
|
|
- Full `pnpm lint`, the whole suite, coverage and benchmarks come after the
|
|
direction is confirmed.
|
|
- Wider refactors, extra tests and documentation polish are follow-up work, not
|
|
part of the first handoff.
|
|
- If a check is needed before feedback, keep it to the touched code and say why.
|
|
|
|
## Commit and PR readiness
|
|
|
|
- Commit once the user confirms direction, or asks for one. Not before.
|
|
- Before committing, every gate in [AGENTS.md](../../AGENTS.md#gates) is green and
|
|
the change is covered at the layers [testing.md](./testing.md) asks for. Read the
|
|
diff against [code-style.md](./code-style.md).
|
|
- Re-run the whole checklist after any fix. Commit only on green.
|
|
- Once a human has started reviewing, fix forward — never force-push a
|
|
regeneration over a review in progress.
