Project Agent Instructions¶

Before development:

1. Read .agent/skills-reference.md and verify .agent/skills.lock.json.
2. Read skill/START-HERE.md from the shared checkout.
3. Classify the implementation through skill/workflow-router.md, including whether the request uses task workflow or project workflow.
4. Always read stable project context and command guidance relevant to the work.
5. In task workflow, do not read or update current-task, roadmap, plan, status, handoff, or next-step records unless the request specifically depends on them.
6. In project workflow, read and maintain the current/planning/continuation records required by the active goal, including .agent/current/next-step.md.
7. Load only the selected recurring guidance; load policies, references, and prior journal entries only when their trigger or historical relevance applies.
8. Record completed work and durable findings in the journal in both workflows.

Treat the shared skill pack as read-only unless the task explicitly changes it.

Project-owned .agent/ records follow the controlled project-record contract in the shared skill pack. Run getdone-validate-project before claiming completion.
