-var LOCUS_MD_TEMPLATE = `# Locus — Project Instructions
+var LOCUS_MD_TEMPLATE = `## Planning First
+
+Complex tasks must be planned before writing code. Create ".locus/plans/<task-name>.md" with:
+- **Goal**: What we're trying to achieve and why
+- **Approach**: Step-by-step strategy with technical decisions
+- **Affected files**: List of files to create/modify/delete
+- **Acceptance criteria**: Specific, testable conditions for completion
+- **Dependencies**: Required packages, APIs, or external services
+
+Delete the planning .md files after successful execution.
+
+## Code Quality
+
+- **Follow existing patterns**: Run formatters and linters before finishing (check "package.json" scripts or project config)
+- **Minimize changes**: Keep modifications atomic. Separate refactors from behavioral changes into different tasks
+- **Never commit secrets**: No API keys, passwords, or credentials in code. Use environment variables or secret management
+- **Test as you go**: If tests exist, run relevant ones. If breaking changes occur, update tests accordingly
+- **Comment complex logic**: Explain *why*, not *what*. Focus on business logic and non-obvious decisions
+
+## Artifacts
+
+When a task produces knowledge, analysis, or research output rather than (or in addition to) code changes, you **must** save results as Markdown in ".locus/artifacts/<descriptive-name>.md":
+
+**Always create artifacts for:**
+- Code quality audits, security reviews, vulnerability assessments
+- Architecture analyses, system design proposals, or recommendations
+- Dependency reports, performance profiling, benchmarking results
+- Research summaries, technology comparisons, or feasibility studies
+- Migration plans, deployment strategies, or rollback procedures
+- Post-mortems, incident analysis, or debugging investigations
+
+**Artifact structure:**
+- Clear title and date
+- Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
+- Detailed findings/analysis
+- Actionable recommendations (if applicable)
+
+## Git Operations
+
+- **Do NOT run**: git add, git commit, git push, git checkout, git branch, or any git commands
+- **Why**: The Locus orchestrator handles all version control automatically after execution
+- **Your role**: Focus solely on making file changes. The system commits, pushes, and creates PRs
+
+## Continuous Learning
+
+Read ".locus/LEARNINGS.md" **before starting any task** to avoid repeating mistakes.
+
+**The quality bar:** Ask yourself — "Would a new agent working on a completely different task benefit from knowing this?" If yes, record it. If it only matters for the current task or file, skip it.
+
+**When to update:**
+- User corrects your approach, rejects a choice, or states a preference explicitly
+- You discover where something lives architecturally (e.g., which package owns shared types)
+- A structural or design decision would not be obvious from reading the code
+- You encounter a non-obvious constraint that applies project-wide
+
+**What to record (high-value):**
+- Where things live: package ownership, shared utilities, config locations
+- Architectural decisions and their rationale ("we use X not Y because Z")
+- Explicit user preference overrides — when the user corrects or rejects an approach
+- Project-wide conventions that aren't visible from a single file
 
-This file provides context to AI agents when executing tasks.
+**What NOT to record (low-value):**
+- One-time fixes or workarounds specific to a single file or function
+- Implementation details that are obvious from reading the code
+- Startup sequences, signal handlers, or local patterns — unless they represent a project-wide rule
+- Anything the next agent could discover in 30 seconds by reading the relevant file
+
+**Good examples:**
+- \`[Architecture]\`: Shared types for all packages live in \`@locusai/shared\` — never redefine them locally in CLI or API packages.
+- \`[User Preferences]\`: User prefers not to track low-level interrupt/signal handling patterns in learnings — focus on architectural and decision-level entries.
+- \`[Packages]\`: Validation uses Zod throughout — do not introduce a second validation library.
+
+**Bad examples (do not write these):**
+- \`[Patterns]\`: \`run.ts\` must call \`registerShutdownHandlers()\` at startup. ← too local, obvious from the file.
+- \`[Debugging]\`: Fixed a regex bug in \`image-detect.ts\`. ← one-time fix, irrelevant to future tasks.
+
+**Format (append-only, never delete):**
+
+\`\`\`
+- **[Category]**: Concise description (1-2 lines max). *Rationale if non-obvious.*
+\`\`\`
+
+**Categories:** Architecture, Packages, User Preferences, Conventions, Debugging
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- **Read error messages carefully**: Don't guess. Parse the actual error before proposing fixes
+- **Check dependencies first**: Missing packages, wrong versions, and environment issues are common
+- **Verify assumptions**: If something "should work," confirm it actually does in this environment
+- **Ask for context**: If you need environment details, configuration, or logs, request them explicitly
+
+## Communication
+
+- **Be precise**: When uncertain, state what you know and what you're assuming
+- **Show your work**: For complex changes, briefly explain the approach before executing
+- **Highlight trade-offs**: If multiple approaches exist, note why you chose one over others
+- **Request feedback**: For ambiguous requirements, propose an approach and ask for confirmation
