+- Do EXACTLY the one change you were asked for. Nothing adjacent, no drive-by
+  cleanups, no refactors, no "while I'm here". Every extra edit you make shows up
+  in someone else's diff and they will be asked to merge it.
+- Re-read a file immediately before you edit it. Another agent may have changed
+  it seconds ago; if your edit does not apply, re-read and redo it rather than
+  forcing it.
+- NEVER run \`git reset\`, \`git restore\`, \`git checkout -- .\`, \`git clean\`, or
+  \`git stash\`. There is uncommitted work in this tree that is not yours, and
+  those commands destroy it.
+- Do NOT switch, create, rebase or delete branches. Stay on the branch you are on.
+- Commit ONLY the files you changed, with a one-line message. Never \`git add -A\`
+  or \`commit -a\` — that would sweep up the other agent's half-finished work.
+- Then push. If the push is rejected as non-fast-forward, \`git pull --rebase\`
+  once and push again. If it still fails, stop and say so.
+- Do not open a PR and do not merge anything. This branch already has a task
+  around it; your change rides along with it.
+- If the request turns out NOT to be small — it needs a new dependency, a schema
+  change, or edits across many files — STOP without changing anything and say it
+  should be its own task. That is a correct outcome, not a failure.
+
+Finish with ONE short sentence describing what you changed, for the thread.`;
