+# ABAP Development with abapGit
+
+You are working on an ABAP project using abapGit for version control.
+
+> **Full guide:** https://sylvoscai.github.io/abapgit-agent/pages/abap-coding-guidelines.html
+> **Agent mode:** Run `abapgit-agent guide` for the complete guide with all rules.
+
+---
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+### 1. Use `ref` Command for Unfamiliar Topics
+
+**When starting to work on ANY unfamiliar ABAP topic, syntax, or pattern, use the `ref` command BEFORE writing any code.**
+
+```bash
+abapgit-agent ref "CORRESPONDING"          # search by pattern
+abapgit-agent ref --topic exceptions       # browse by topic
+abapgit-agent ref --topic debug-session    # read full guideline file
+abapgit-agent ref --topic workflow-detailed
+```
+
+### 2. Read `.abapGitAgent` for Folder Location and Naming Conventions
+
+**Before creating ANY ABAP object file, read `.abapGitAgent` to determine the correct folder.**
+
+The folder is configured in `.abapGitAgent` (property: `folder`):
+- If `folder` is `/src/` → files go in `src/` (e.g., `src/zcl_my_class.clas.abap`)
+- If `folder` is `/abap/` → files go in `abap/` (e.g., `abap/zcl_my_class.clas.abap`)
+
+**Check naming conventions before creating any new object:**
+1. `guidelines/objects.local.md` ← project-specific overrides (if file exists)
+2. `abapgit-agent ref --topic objects` ← default Z/Y prefix conventions
+
+### 3. Create XML Metadata / Local Classes
+
+Each ABAP object needs an XML metadata file. Local helper/test-double classes use separate `.locals_def.abap` / `.locals_imp.abap` files.
+
+```bash
+abapgit-agent ref --topic object-creation   # XML templates and local class setup
+```
+
+### 4. Use Syntax Command Before Commit (for CLAS, INTF, PROG, DDLS)
+
+```bash
+abapgit-agent syntax --files src/zcl_my_class.clas.abap
+```
+
+For dependent files (interface + class), skip `syntax` and go straight to `pull`.
+
+### 5. Use `ref`, `view` and `where` to Learn About Unknown Classes/Methods
+
+```bash
+abapgit-agent where --objects ZIF_UNKNOWN_INTERFACE
+abapgit-agent view --objects ZCL_UNKNOWN_CLASS
+abapgit-agent view --objects ZCL_UNKNOWN_CLASS --full --lines   # with line numbers for debugging
+```
+
+### 6. Troubleshooting
+
+```bash
+abapgit-agent dump --date TODAY --detail 1    # inspect last crash (ST22)
+abapgit-agent debug set --objects ZCL_FOO:42  # set breakpoint then attach
+abapgit-agent ref --topic debug-session       # full debug guide
+abapgit-agent ref --topic debug-dump          # dump analysis guide
+```
+
+---
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Project-Level Config (`.abapgit-agent.json`)
+
+Checked into the repository — applies to all developers. **Read this file at the start of every session.**
+
+| Setting | Effect |
+|---------|--------|
+| `safeguards.requireFilesForPull: true` | Always include `--files` in every `pull` |
+| `safeguards.disablePull: true` | Do not run `abapgit-agent pull` at all |
+| `conflictDetection.mode: "abort"` | Abort pull on conflict — inform user |
+| `transports.allowCreate/allowRelease: false` | Blocked — inform user |
+
+### Workflow Mode (`.abapGitAgent` → `workflow.mode`)
+
+| Mode | Branch Strategy | Rebase Before Pull | Create PR |
+|------|----------------|-------------------|-----------|
+| `"branch"` | Feature branches | ✓ Always | ✓ Yes (squash merge) |
+| `"trunk"` / not set | Direct to default branch | ✗ No | ✗ No |
+
+```bash
+# branch mode — read full guide:
+abapgit-agent ref --topic branch-workflow
+```
+
+### Quick Decision Tree
+
+```
+Modified ABAP files?
+├─ CLAS/INTF/PROG/DDLS files?
+│  ├─ Independent files?  → syntax → commit → push → pull
+│  └─ Dependent files?    → skip syntax → commit → push → pull
+└─ Other types (FUGR, TABL, etc.)?
+   → skip syntax → commit → push → pull → (if errors: inspect)
+```
+
+```bash
+abapgit-agent ref --topic workflow-detailed   # full workflow decision tree

+# ABAP Development
+
+This project uses [abapgit-agent](https://github.com/SylvosCai/abapgit-agent) for ABAP development.
+
+## IMPORTANT: Before Writing Any ABAP Code
+
+Read the full ABAP development guide by running:
+
+```bash
+abapgit-agent guide
+```
+
+This guide covers: development workflow, ABAP syntax guidelines, object naming, unit testing, and debugging.
+
+> **Humans:** Full guide online at https://sylvoscai.github.io/abapgit-agent/pages/abap-coding-guidelines.html
+
+## Accessing Guidelines
+
+Search by keyword to find which file covers a topic, then read the full file with `--topic`:
+
+```bash
+# Find files matching a keyword
+abapgit-agent ref "debug session"
+
+# Read a full guideline file by filename stem
+abapgit-agent ref --topic debug-session       # guidelines/debug-session.md
+abapgit-agent ref --topic workflow-detailed   # guidelines/workflow-detailed.md
+abapgit-agent ref --topic object-creation     # guidelines/object-creation.md
+abapgit-agent ref --topic branch-workflow     # guidelines/branch-workflow.md

+abapgit-agent ref --topic run-probe-classes   # guidelines/run-probe-classes.md
+abapgit-agent ref --topic cds-testing         # guidelines/cds-testing.md
+
+# Also available: sql, cds, exceptions, json, testing, objects, abapgit, classes, ...
+abapgit-agent ref --list-topics
+```
+
+The `ref` command uses bundled guidelines automatically — no local `guidelines/` folder needed.
