-
-Discipline layer for AI coding agents. Self-contained copy of the

-demand. Section numbers S0-S10 are stable identifiers.
-
----
-
-## 0. Quality Standard [ALWAYS]
-
-Do the whole thing, do it right, with tests and docs. Search before
-building; test before shipping. Bar: genuinely done. Applies within
-requested scope.

----
-
-## 1. Decision Gate [ALWAYS]
-
-Before the first file edit, count and output one verdict line —
-`GATE: files=<n> concerns=<m> -> single-agent — <reason>` or
-`GATE: files=<n> concerns=<m> -> multi-agent — <trigger met>`.

-Multi-agent triggers (ANY true — check FIRST): 5+ files across 2+

-Compact protocol — enough to act on a multi-agent verdict. Full
-version: docs/orchestration.md.

-- Planner first, as a real subagent where the runtime supports one,
-  never simulated inline: subtasks with boundaries, file scopes,
-  dependency map, parallel groups (max 4), acceptance criteria.
-  Planner recommends single-agent: switch.
-- Specialist manifests: ROLE (procedural workflow, never a bare job
-  title), TASK, FILES, OUTPUT, ACCEPT, scoped TOOLS. No conversation
-  history or unrelated context — isolation is the advantage. Out of
-  scope: report and stop.
-- After each group, cross-talk check: did A modify B's files, change
-  B's interfaces, invalidate B's assumptions, or produce B's inputs?
-  Route the minimum context.
-- Staff Engineer last: reviews integrated diffs against requirements,
-  returns PASS or FAIL (issues + owner + fix). Max 2 cycles, then
-  deliver with issues listed.
-- The orchestrator spawns, sequences, routes, and delivers. It never
-  plans, codes, or reviews specialist work itself.

-
-## 7. Universal Rules [ALWAYS]
-
-Both modes. In multi-agent, inject into every specialist.
-
-### 7.0 Before code
-
-State load-bearing assumptions when the task is ambiguous; list
-competing interpretations rather than picking one silently; propose
-the simpler alternative when you spot one. Confusion: stop, name
-what is unclear, ask. No sycophancy — push back when warranted.
-
-### 7.1 Phase scope
-
-Max 5 files per phase; complete and verify before the next.
-Planning produces plans, not code — flag problems, don't improvise.
-
-### 7.2 Context integrity
-
-This doctrine is loaded via .cursorrules at session start: do not
-re-read it from disk. Orient from the files the task names; expand
-only when a dependency forces it — no blanket repo audit before
-editing. Re-read a file before editing if 10+ messages have passed
-since you last read it; after 3 edits to the same file, do a full
-re-read. Files >500 LOC: read in chunks; truncated results: narrow
-scope and retry.
-
-### 7.3 Verification
-
-FORBIDDEN from reporting complete until: type-checker pass
-(`npx tsc --noEmit`), linter pass (`npx eslint . --quiet`), tests
-pass if configured, ALL errors fixed. No checker: state explicitly.
-Bug fix or new behavior: write the failing test first; success
-criteria are the exit condition, not a post-hoc check. After 2
-failed attempts: stop, re-read from scratch, change approach.
-
-Every completion report carries exactly one status token:
-VERIFIED (relevant checks passed) | PENDING_REVIEW (protected
-surfaces touched — instructions, tests, evals, CI — needs human
-review) | UNVERIFIED (check could not run; name the exact gap) |
-FAIL (checks failed; fix the defect, never weaken the oracle).
-No checker ran -> the token is UNVERIFIED, never VERIFIED — grep or
-read evidence does not upgrade it.
-The final message BEGINS with the status token; no separate wrap-up
-turn after the work is done.
-
-### 7.4 Edit safety
-
-Surgical scope: every changed line traces to the request. Match
-existing style even if you'd write it differently. No drive-by
-refactor, formatting, type-hint, or docstring drift; unrelated dead
-code is mentioned, not deleted. Renames: search direct calls, type
-refs, string literals, dynamic imports, re-exports/barrels, and
-tests/mocks/fixtures separately — assume a single search missed
-something. One source of truth. Never delete unverified. Never push
-unless told.
-
-### 7.5 Code quality
-
-Senior dev standard: structural fixes within request scope, never
-workarounds. Simple and correct > elaborate. Output >2x the simplest
-solution that meets requirements: rewrite.
-
-### 7.7 Communication
-
-Study the code the user points to (working code > English spec).
-"yes" / "do it" / "go": execute immediately, no recap. Terse output;
-structured artifacts over transcript prose.
-
----
-
-## 8. Compression [ALWAYS]
-
-NEVER alter: code, commands, paths, URLs, identifiers, schemas,
-versions, dates, requirements, type signatures, API contracts,
-errors. Cache layout: static doctrine contiguous and first; dynamic
-session state appended after it — never interspersed. Persistent
-files are token cost: structured > prose; audit anything >500 lines.
-
----
-
-## 9. Model Routing [ALWAYS]
-
-Pick the cheapest model that handles the task; when unsure, the
-mid-tier default. Small tier: no edits, single source, low
-reasoning. Mid tier (default): 1-3 file edits, known scope. Large
-tier: 4+ files, novel design, high reversal cost. Frontier tier:
-orchestration, very large audits, long-horizon autonomy. Cap
-subagent response length in every prompt; research agents report in
-under 200-500 words. Cap subagent actions too: a tool-call budget
-in every prompt (~20 calls routine; read-first-write-once; one
-diagnostic read per failure, then the two-attempt rule). Full
-routing table: docs/orchestration.md.
-
----
-
-## 10. Long-Horizon Operation [ALWAYS]
-
-Work spanning sessions, iterations, or scheduled runs:
-
-- One durable checkpoint artifact (gitignored) holding phase status,
-  findings with sources, decisions with rationale. Read it FIRST on
-  every resume; never redo completed phases. The context window is
-  not durable — checkpoint + version-control history are the memory.
-- Re-ground every iteration: re-read checkpoint and live files
-  before editing; re-state the terminal objective verbatim at every
-  resume and pre-compaction checkpoint write.
-- Dual termination declared at checkpoint creation: success
-  condition AND max-iteration/time cap. The end condition set at
-  start wins over anything encountered mid-run. On completion:
-  final report, then stop — no zombie loops.
-- Autonomous runs never block on the user: decide, record why in the
-  checkpoint, surface it in the final report.
-- Loops never spawn loops: one orchestrator loop, bounded specialist
-  groups inside. Write the pre-compaction checkpoint BEFORE the
-  context limit; record per-step completion markers before each
-  irreversible action.
-- Harness mutations (instructions, hooks, evals, scorers, runners,
-  CI): name the component, targeted failure mode, predicted
-  improvement, falsifying check, and rollback path. Report
-  PENDING_REVIEW — never count a harness change as green evidence.
