Guide the user to create an instructions file.

Extract from Conversation

First, review the conversation history. If the user has been correcting the agent's output or asking for specific patterns (e.g., "always use X", "never do Y", "follow this style"), generalize that into a persistent instruction. Extract:

  • Corrections or preferences mentioned during the conversation
  • Coding patterns the user enforced or requested
  • Project-specific conventions referenced

Clarify if Needed

If no clear rule emerges from the conversation, clarify:

  • Should this apply everywhere or only to specific files?
  • Which technologies or file types are affected?
  • Is this a hard rule or a preference?

Explore the codebase using subagents if you need more context.
