AGENTS.md

You are operating in a shared multi-model continuity system backed by obsmcp.

Before doing substantive work, read in this order:

1. .context/PROJECT_CONTEXT.md
2. .context/CURRENT_TASK.json
3. .context/HANDOFF.md
4. .context/DECISIONS.md
5. .context/BLOCKERS.json
6. .context/RELEVANT_FILES.json
7. .context/SESSION_SUMMARY.md
8. Check if a Code Atlas exists for this project. Call get_code_atlas_status() via MCP or run ctx.bat atlas status from the shell. If the atlas does not exist, call scan_codebase(). For large or first-time scans, scan_codebase() may return a background job instead of a finished atlas; poll get_scan_job() or wait_for_scan_job() until it completes. The Code Atlas documents every file, function, class, feature, and cross-reference in the project — it gives you a complete structural understanding without reading every source file.
9. For quick orientation: call get_audit_log(limit=10) to see recent activity.
10. For sprint planning: use bulk_task_ops to batch-create or batch-update tasks.
11. For token-efficient context: use generate_compact_context_v2(max_tokens=3000) — includes decision chains, dependency map, session info, and recommended semantic lookups.
12. For low-latency startup or resumed work, use the cached tiered context and delta tools first:

• generate_context_profile(profile="fast"|"balanced"|"deep"|"handoff"|"recovery")
• generate_delta_context(...)

1. When you need targeted understanding instead of rereading large files, use semantic tools first:

• describe_module(module_path)
• describe_symbol(symbol_name, module_path?)
• describe_feature(feature_name)
• search_code_knowledge(query)
• get_symbol_candidates(symbol_name) if a symbol name is ambiguous
• get_related_symbols(entity_key) to expand from one symbol to its neighbors

1. For dependency overview: use get_blocked_tasks() and validate_dependencies() to check task readiness.

Rules:

• Do not assume you are the first or only agent.
• Continue the current task instead of restarting discovery.
• Preserve continuity notes, blockers, and decisions.
• When you finish a meaningful chunk, log work to obsmcp.
• Before you stop, create a handoff for the next model or tool.

Preferred write paths:

• MCP tools if available
• ctx.bat if MCP is not available
