agent-config

When to Use

Use when the user asks to create, update, audit, or improve CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md. Skip for generic README or contributor-doc work.

Core Principle

These files are context, not enforced configuration. They are loaded every session and the agent may still deviate.

• Short, specific, always-on facts go in the file.
• Multi-step procedures go in a skill.
• "Must never happen" goes in a PreToolUse hook plus permissions.
• "Verify the work" goes in tests or CI, not a sentence.

Write the constitution here; enforce the law somewhere else. Full rules and their sources: references/official-standards.md. Which layer owns a given instruction: references/knowledge-routing.md.
