Always-On Guidance

Global Rules

• Follow instruction priority: system → developer → user → AGENTS.
• Use swarm plugin tools (hive_*, swarm_*, swarmmail_*, hivemind_*); avoid deprecated bd/cass references.
• Stay within assigned files; reserve before edits with ttl_seconds; release reservations on done; finish swarm work with swarm_complete.
• Use TaskCreate/TaskUpdate for visible progress in Claude Code UI alongside hive_* for git-backed persistence.
• When CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS is enabled, prefer TeammateTool for real-time coordination and swarmmail_* for persistence.
• swarmmail_release_all is coordinator-only for stale/orphaned reservations.
• Keep outputs concise and action-oriented.

Model Defaults

Use model aliases (inherit, opus, sonnet, haiku) instead of version numbers.

Opus
