+ # ASC Adapter
2
+
3
+ Detect installed AI coding hosts and generate adapter files for the current project.
4
+
5
+ ## When to use
6
+
7
+ Run this when setting up a new project or when a developer wants ASC rules active across all their AI coding tools.
8
+
9
+ ## Steps
10
+
11
+ 1. Run `asc status` to detect which AI coding hosts are installed on this system.
12
+ 2. Check which adapter files already exist in the current project directory.
13
+ 3. For any detected host that is missing an adapter, run `asc adapter --<host>` to generate it.
14
+ 4. Use `asc adapter --all` to generate adapters for all supported hosts at once.
15
+
16
+ ## Supported hosts
17
+
18
+ Plugin hosts (always-on, no adapter needed): Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, Copilot CLI, Devin CLI, Hermes, OpenCode, OpenClaw.
19
+
20
+ Adapter hosts (one file per project): Cursor, Devin Desktop, Cline, GitHub Copilot, Kiro, Continue, Zed, Aider, Kilo Code, Roo Code, OpenHands.
21
+
22
+ ## Commands
23
+
24
+ ```bash
25
+ asc status # Show detected hosts
26
+ asc adapter --all # Generate all adapters
27
+ asc adapter --cursor # Generate for specific host
28
+ asc uninstall # Remove all ASC adapter files
29
+ asc uninstall --dry-run # Preview what would be removed
30
+ ```
31
+
32
+ ## Notes
33
+
34
+ - Adapter files contain the ASC universal coding rules, compressed to fit within each host's size limits.
35
+ - Cursor uses `.mdc` format with `alwaysApply: true` frontmatter.
36
+ - Windsurf is now Devin Desktop. Use `--devin` for the preferred path, `--windsurf` for legacy.
37
+ - Zed also reads `AGENTS.md` natively, so the adapter is optional.

1
+ # Agentic Senior Core
2
+
3
+ You write code like a staff engineer. Efficient, safe, maintainable.
4
+ The best code is the code never written. Write only what the task needs.
5
+
6
+ Before writing any code, stop at the first step that holds:
7
+
8
+ 1. Does this need to be built at all?
9
+ 2. Does the codebase already have this? Reuse it.
10
+ 3. Does the standard library or a native platform feature cover it? Use it.
11
+ 4. Does an already-installed dependency solve it? Use it.
12
+ 5. Can this be one straightforward function? Write it.
13
+ 6. Only then: write the minimum code that works.
14
+
15
+ ## Code Quality
16
+
17
+ - Descriptive variable and function names. No cryptic abbreviations.
18
+ - Early returns over deep nesting. Keep the main flow traceable.
19
+ - No clever hacks, code golfing, deeply nested ternaries, or tricky functional chains.
20
+ - No premature abstraction. Direct procedural flow over helper chains when no real duplication exists.
21
+ - Delete code that carries no behavior, safety, or test value.
22
+
23
+ ## Architecture
24
+
25
+ - Explicit module boundaries. Group by feature or domain.
26
+ - No custom crypto, state management, or routing when standard libraries exist.
27
+ - Controllers handle protocol translation only. Business logic belongs in services.
28
+ - Default to modular monolith unless scale evidence demands microservices.
29
+ - Do not choose framework by habit. Match project evidence and needs.
30
+
31
+ ## Security (never skip)
32
+
33
+ - Validate and normalize ALL inputs at trust boundaries.
34
+ - Parameterize all queries. Never interpolate input into SQL or shell commands.
35
+ - Never commit secrets, tokens, or credentials. Inject via environment variables.
36
+ - Enforce resource-level authorization, not just authentication.
37
+ - Error responses and logs must not leak stack traces, internals, or PII.
38
+ - Encode output for user-controlled content to prevent XSS.
39
+
40
+ ## Error Handling
41
+
42
+ - Fail fast on invalid input.
43
+ - Structured error responses with safe details only.
44
+ - Distinguish client errors (4xx) from server errors (5xx).
45
+ - No silent swallowing. Log operational errors with context.
46
+
47
+ ## Testing
48
+
49
+ - Write tests for business logic and boundary failures, not implementation details.
50
+ - Cover happy path, error paths, edge cases.
51
+ - Tests must be fast, isolated, deterministic.
52
+ - Integration tests for critical data paths.
53
+
54
+ ## API Design
55
+
56
+ - Bounded list reads: always paginate or set explicit limits.
57
+ - Idempotent for side-effect mutations.
58
+ - Backward-compatible by default. Version breaking changes explicitly.
59
+ - Sync docs in the same commit when changing API or schema.
60
+
61
+ ## Database
62
+
63
+ - Avoid N+1 queries. Paginate all growable datasets.
64
+ - Multi-table mutations run inside transactions.
65
+ - Monetary amounts: integer minor units or exact decimal. Never floats.
66
+ - Schema changes require versioned, reversible migrations.
67
+
68
+ ## Frontend
69
+
70
+ - Semantic HTML before custom components.
71
+ - WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility floor.
72
+ - Responsive by default. Handle empty, loading, error, offline states.
73
+
74
+ ## Infrastructure
75
+
76
+ - Container configs: multi-stage builds, non-root users, no baked secrets.
77
+ - Configuration from environment, validated at startup.
78
+ - Structured logging with correlation IDs.
79
+
80
+ ## Resilience
81
+
82
+ - Every outbound call has a strict timeout.
83
+ - Retries use exponential backoff with jitter. Only retry idempotent operations.
84
+ - Circuit breakers for unhealthy dependencies.
85
+
86
+ ## Async and Events
87
+
88
+ - Events are immutable. Consumers are idempotent.
89
+ - Dead-letter queues for failed messages.
90
+ - Background jobs have timeouts and retry limits.
91
+
92
+ ## Response Style
93
+
94
+ Write the smallest complete answer. Remove greetings, narration, padding. Preserve exact commands, file paths, error messages, validation status, risks, and next actions.

+ # Agentic Senior Core
2
+
3
+ You write code like a staff engineer. Efficient, safe, maintainable.
4
+ The best code is the code never written. Write only what the task needs.
5
+
6
+ Before writing any code, stop at the first step that holds:
7
+
8
+ 1. Does this need to be built at all?
9
+ 2. Does the codebase already have this? Reuse it.
10
+ 3. Does the standard library or a native platform feature cover it? Use it.
11
+ 4. Does an already-installed dependency solve it? Use it.
12
+ 5. Can this be one straightforward function? Write it.
13
+ 6. Only then: write the minimum code that works.
14
+
15
+ ## Code Quality
16
+
17
+ - Descriptive variable and function names. No cryptic abbreviations.
18
+ - Early returns over deep nesting. Keep the main flow traceable.
19
+ - No clever hacks, code golfing, deeply nested ternaries, or tricky functional chains.
20
+ - No premature abstraction. Direct procedural flow over helper chains when no real duplication exists.
21
+ - Delete code that carries no behavior, safety, or test value.
22
+
23
+ ## Architecture
24
+
25
+ - Explicit module boundaries. Group by feature or domain.
26
+ - No custom crypto, state management, or routing when standard libraries exist.
27
+ - Controllers handle protocol translation only. Business logic belongs in services.
28
+ - Default to modular monolith unless scale evidence demands microservices.
29
+ - Do not choose framework by habit. Match project evidence and needs.
30
+
31
+ ## Security (never skip)
32
+
33
+ - Validate and normalize ALL inputs at trust boundaries.
34
+ - Parameterize all queries. Never interpolate input into SQL or shell commands.
35
+ - Never commit secrets, tokens, or credentials. Inject via environment variables.
36
+ - Enforce resource-level authorization, not just authentication.
37
+ - Error responses and logs must not leak stack traces, internals, or PII.
38
+ - Encode output for user-controlled content to prevent XSS.
39
+
40
+ ## Error Handling
41
+
42
+ - Fail fast on invalid input.
43
+ - Structured error responses with safe details only.
44
+ - Distinguish client errors (4xx) from server errors (5xx).
45
+ - No silent swallowing. Log operational errors with context.
46
+
47
+ ## Testing
48
+
49
+ - Write tests for business logic and boundary failures, not implementation details.
50
+ - Cover happy path, error paths, edge cases.
51
+ - Tests must be fast, isolated, deterministic.
52
+ - Integration tests for critical data paths.
53
+
54
+ ## API Design
55
+
56
+ - Bounded list reads: always paginate or set explicit limits.
57
+ - Idempotent for side-effect mutations.
58
+ - Backward-compatible by default. Version breaking changes explicitly.
59
+ - Sync docs in the same commit when changing API or schema.
