+# Project conventions and architecture fit
+
+Apply this rule before implementation and during review, including small bugfixes. Keep discovery
+proportional to the task; a short task note is enough for a small change. This is an instruction
+contract for the AI host, not an automatic architecture checker.
+
+## Choose the mode per affected module
+- **New (greenfield):** no established implementation in scope. Propose the smallest suitable layout,
+  name/style/error/test conventions and dependency boundaries using the relevant adapter defaults.
+  Resolve consequential choices through the clarification workflow before scaffolding; use established
+  authorization for routine choices. Do not generate speculative layers, base classes or empty folders.
+- **Maintain (brownfield):** preserve the target module's architecture, public contracts, dependency
+  direction, naming, package manager and configured tools. A new feature in an existing module is still
+  maintenance. Do not modernize or reformat unrelated code as a side effect.
+- **Mixed:** a new module inside an existing repository adopts repository-wide contracts and shared
+  infrastructure; agree only its genuinely new internal choices. Map mode and boundaries per module.
+
+Do not infer mode from an empty source folder, the presence of a package manifest, or adapter detection
+alone. Inspect the requested scope, neighboring modules and established decisions first.
+
+## Resolve the applicable standard
+Within platform/security constraints and the user's authorized scope, use this order:
+1. Explicit reviewed project/module decisions (AGENTS, local.md, ADRs and approved conventions).
+2. Applicable formatter/linter/build configuration and consistent patterns in the target module.
+3. Adapter defaults for unresolved gaps only.
+
+Inspect configuration and representative implementation together. One legacy file is not a convention.
+If documentation, configuration or modules disagree, identify the paths and scope of the conflict;
+ask only when it materially affects the task. Never copy fail-open authorization, secret logging or
+another known unsafe pattern merely for consistency. Explain a safe, bounded correction; obtain a
+decision when the fix changes a public contract or exceeds the authorized scope.
+
+## Find before creating
+Before adding a file, dependency or abstraction:
+1. Read local instructions, build/lint/format settings, relevant module boundaries and one or two
+   comparable implementations plus their tests where available.
+2. Search the affected module and authorized shared packages for the needed behavior: common APIs,
+   errors, mapping, pagination, clients, components, hooks, state, storage and test helpers.
+3. Record a compact task note: inspected paths, selected pattern, reusable symbol/path, intended new
+   code location and any gap. If nothing fits, record the search scope and why a new piece is needed.
+4. Reuse only through supported public boundaries when behavior and ownership match. Do not reach
+   into another module's internals, create dependency cycles or push domain-specific logic into common.
+5. Prefer a local implementation over an unrelated shared abstraction. A small amount of similar code
+   is acceptable when its meaning or lifecycle differs. Never invent reuse evidence.
+
+Keep durable decisions and source paths in `.harness/local.md`, or link existing authoritative docs
+there. Keep task-specific reuse evidence in the change/PR. Do not duplicate whole guides or create a
+new document for every trivial edit. Update stale facts when the scope or source changes.
+
+## Control the diff and verify
+New dependencies, generic wrappers, base classes, global state and cross-module APIs need a concrete
+requirement and a brief rationale. Ask before material architecture/contract changes outside agreed
+scope; do not seek repeated approval for ordinary authorized implementation. No speculative framework,
+unused export, dead code, commented-out implementation or unrelated cleanup in the delivered diff.
+
+Review placement, naming, reuse, dependency direction, duplicate behavior and unnecessary abstraction.
+Run applicable configured format/lint/type/build/tests and existing architecture checks through the
+host; do not invent commands or install tools just to satisfy this rule. If a boundary has no automated
+check, report the manual review and its limits; propose a focused check only when warranted.
+Report actual results, skipped checks and new-component rationale. `aih check`, `aih verify` and
+structural readiness cannot prove application convention compliance or model behavior.

+# Agent preferences, model routing and execution
+
+Read project-owned .harness/agents.json when present. On legacy installs, absence means no declared
+routing preference; use actual host settings and report the gap. `aih setup --host <id>` resolves the
+contract without probing models or writing native host config. Source defaults are a recommendation,
+not evidence of model/account availability. Runtime permissions and the user's current model choice win.
+
+1. Select only relevant workflow/skills/source. Resolve namespaced role IDs against installed Core and
+   selected capability contracts; inactive or disabled routing cannot remove required quality/security checks.
+2. Model aliases use @name, provider/model/reasoning can be overridden per role. Missing role mappings
+   inherit project defaults and must be reported; never silently substitute another provider or premium.
+3. Verify requested/native model ID, reasoning support, authentication and delegation in the actual host.
+   Host-incompatible or unverified choices need a grounded user decision/check before model-dependent
+   execution. Explicit user mappings are declarations, not proof that a native model is available.
+4. Single-agent: one session performs sequential roles and relevant skills. Hybrid: one lead and an
+   independent helper only when useful, authorized and supported. Multi-agent: use separate contracts
+   and concise handoffs only when runtime supports it. Follow the host's actual delegation rules.
+5. Keep simple edits/clear bugfixes in one session. For parallel work isolate responsibilities/paths,
+   share only scope, source references, decisions, AC and blockers; do not send every skill/doc to each worker.
+6. Treat maxConcurrentAgents and maxRounds as requested caps, never counters enforced by this CLI.
+   Count the lead in concurrency planning; translate native worker/thread limits only after checking
+   their semantics. When a round limit is reached, checkpoint unresolved work instead of claiming done.
+7. Premium/Astra is allowed only through the user's explicit model/tier selection; automatic escalation
+   must remain false. An economy preference does not waive correctness/security or mandatory review.
+8. No real token budget or usage meter is supplied. Read real host usage when available; report unknown
+   cost/availability. Preserve existing model settings until the user agrees a native change.
+9. Handoff task/role ID, actual model/effort if known, files/revision, decisions, performed checks, remaining
+   questions and next owner. A same-session author review is not independent review.

 # Bugfix workflow
 
 1. Capture expected versus observed behavior using redacted inputs and an environment fingerprint.
+   Apply `.harness/core/rules/project-conventions.md`; inspect comparable code and reuse existing
+   helpers before adding a fix. A small bugfix needs only a compact task note, not a full survey.
 2. Create the smallest reproducible failing test or repeatable observation. If blocked, document access
    or data needed; label an unverified hypothesis as such.
 3. Rank plausible causes and test one distinguishing prediction at a time.
