These instructions apply to the whole repository. Keep this file focused on agent operating policy and repository-wide rules.
- Read this file before changing the workspace.
- Read PROJECT.md for the project overview and project map.
- Use matching discovered skills when they are available. Each skill's frontmatter is the routing source of truth.
- Ask clarifying questions before implementation, review, or documentation work when scope, acceptance criteria, or constraints are not explicit.
- Never create commits, push, tag, merge, rebase, cherry-pick, or rewrite Git history in this repository.
- Preserve unrelated local changes. Treat them as user work.
- Do not revert unrelated user changes.
- Do not add temporary repo files, local binaries, IDE metadata, coverage output, or build artifacts to the intended change set.
- Keep changes narrowly scoped and make unrelated cleanup a separate task.
