AGENTS.md - Guidelines for AI Agents in Restructured AI Home Directory

Core Operating Principles

Context Awareness

  • You are operating within a mounted AI home directory with separated databank (readonly) and PMO (read-write)
  • Databank (/ai-home/databank/): Contains readonly context, guidelines, and personal information
  • PMO (/ai-home/pmo/): Contains project management functionality where updates are allowed
  • Always consider the multi-project implications of your actions
  • Respect the readonly nature of the databank and only update PMO when appropriate

Communication Protocol

  • Primary communication channel: collab/ directory in mounted AI home directory
  • Use question -> proposal -> implementation workflow
  • Document all significant decisions and changes with proper revision tracking

Documentation Standards (Apply to ALL files you create)

  • Date/Time Headers: Include date/time with timezone in all markdown files
  • Change Tracking: Maintain revision tables in all documents
  • Changelog: Include changelogs in all source code files
  • Make It Beautiful Rule: All documentation follows beautiful formatting standards (tables, bullet points, clear structure, visual hierarchy)

Repository Management

Structure Requirements

  • Databank: Readonly context (do not modify)
    • databank/personal/ - Personal information
    • databank/agents/ - Agent guidelines and tools
    • databank/context/ - General context information
  • PMO: Read-write project management (updates allowed here)
    • pmo/dashboard/ - Dashboard views
    • pmo/projects/ - Project registry and tracking
    • pmo/reports/ - Status reports
    • pmo/resources/ - Resource management
    • pmo/config/ - Configuration
  • Keep top-level repository clean (databank, pmo, and collab directories only)
  • Use conventional commits (chore:, feat:, docs:, fix:, etc.)
  • Commit frequently using atomic commits
  • Only commit to local repository (no git push operations)

Access Rights

  • Databank (readonly): Access only, no modifications allowed
  • PMO (read-write): Only update when project milestones reached or status updates needed
  • Collab (readonly): Access for reference, no modifications in active projects

Development Workflow

Pre-Work Checklist

  • Read project-specific documentation first
  • Check collab/rules directory for project-specific guidelines (SECURITY.md, RELEASE.md, GITFLOW.md, etc.)
  • Review databank context for consistent understanding
  • Understand project dependencies and constraints

Implementation Standards

  • Follow conventional commits with beautiful, descriptive messages
  • Maintain consistency with existing codebase
  • Add appropriate documentation and comments
  • Consider maintainability and future extensions

Verification Process

  • Validate operations before execution
  • Run appropriate tests and quality checks
  • Verify outputs against expected outcomes
  • Implement defensive programming practices

PMO Update Guidelines

When to Update PMO

  • When project milestones are reached
  • When project status changes significantly
  • When new projects are initiated
  • When projects are completed or paused
  • When resource allocation changes

What to Update in PMO

  • Project registry in pmo/projects/
  • Dashboard information in pmo/dashboard/
  • Status reports in pmo/reports/
  • Resource tracking in pmo/resources/

What NOT to Update

  • Never modify databank files - they are readonly
  • Do not create new top-level directories
  • Do not modify collab files in active projects
  • Do not add audit logs to this repository (audit logs belong in projects)

Best Practices for Solo Entrepreneur Workflow (14+ Hours Daily AI Usage)

Efficiency Optimization

  • Break complex tasks into atomic operations
  • Provide quick wins while building long-term value
  • Minimize context switching between projects
  • Optimize for rapid iteration and feedback

Decision Documentation

  • Document reasoning for complex decisions
  • Consider impact across multiple interconnected projects
  • Maintain traceability for future reference
  • Suggest alternatives when appropriate

Scalability Considerations

  • Design solutions that work across multiple project environments
  • Use modular, reusable components and patterns
  • Plan for increasing complexity as projects grow
  • Maintain consistent interfaces across projects

LLM Optimization Practices

Prompt Engineering

  • Structure requests with clear context from mounted AI home directory
  • Use explicit, unambiguous language
  • Provide sufficient context without unnecessary verbosity
  • Break multi-step processes into clear, sequential instructions

Code Generation

  • Follow established project patterns and conventions
  • Maintain consistency with existing code style
  • Add appropriate error handling and validation
  • Consider performance implications

Quality Assurance

  • Implement appropriate testing strategies
  • Ensure code quality and maintainability
  • Perform validation against requirements
  • Include appropriate logging and monitoring

Security, Compliance & Quality

Security Practices

  • Verify file permissions and access controls
  • Sanitize all inputs and outputs appropriately
  • Protect sensitive information and credentials
  • Follow secure coding principles

Compliance & Accessibility

  • Follow accessibility standards (WCAG when applicable)
  • Consider internationalization requirements
  • Ensure compliance with relevant regulations
  • Maintain proper documentation for audit purposes

Performance Standards

  • Optimize for efficient processing
  • Consider resource usage and constraints
  • Implement appropriate caching strategies
  • Monitor and optimize for performance

Git and Version Control

Commit Standards

  • Use conventional commits with semantic meaning
  • Make commits atomic (one logical change per commit)
  • Write descriptive commit messages
  • Include relevant context in commit descriptions

Branching and Merging

  • Follow project-specific branching strategies
  • Respect existing GitFlow patterns
  • Use feature branches for significant changes
  • Maintain clean commit history

Environment Consistency

Context Integration

  • Recognize that databank is mounted readonly across multiple environments
  • PMO is mounted read-write for project tracking
  • Maintain consistency in behavior across different projects
  • Respect environment-specific configurations

Tool Integration

  • Work with existing development tools and workflows
  • Maintain compatibility with CI/CD pipelines
  • Use project-appropriate build and deployment processes
  • Respect project-specific dependencies and versions

AI Tool Context (for agents working in this environment)

  • Codex - Primary daily driver (subscription-based), best for code generation and completion
  • Qwen - Heavy system orchestration, excels at shell/Docker operations
  • Gemini - Primarily used for audits and analysis
  • Claude - Used occasionally for specific tasks
