agent-rules-and-memory

A set of instructions for finding this project's agent rules and private long-term notes, including the files that define coding, testing, and release practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of work in this repository to locate the relevant memory, general rules, and directory-specific instructions before making substantive changes.
Why use it?
It helps an agent follow the repository's existing decisions and avoid repeating approaches that were already rejected. Some notes may contain private infrastructure information and must remain out of public code.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-rules-and-memory scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent rules and memory

Cursor does not read CLAUDE.md files. Claude Code does, and this repo files most of its rules there, so Cursor needs this pointer to reach the same rules. Read in this order.

1. Durable memory

.agents/memory/ is a symlink to the Claude Code memory store, so both tools share one copy. Start at .agents/memory/MEMORY.md — a one-line index of every memory file — then open the entries relevant to the task.

It is gitignored and must stay that way. It records production hosts, project refs and infra details that must not reach a public repo.

2. Repo-wide rules

AGENTS.md at the repo root. Package manager, git and commit policy, code quality, test policy, release safety, monorepo toolchain. Read it in full before any substantive work.

3. Root CLAUDE.md

CLAUDE.md at the repo root. Claude Code loads it automatically at session start; Cursor does not, so read it here. It indexes the per-directory CLAUDE.md files and carries the ### Settled — do not re-propose list — decisions made, tried, and in most cases reverted (including the TOC channel-map rework). That list exists in no other file; skipping this step risks re-proposing a change the maintainer already rejected.

4. Directory-scoped rules

Rules for one area live in that area's CLAUDE.md. Claude Code loads these automatically by path; in Cursor you must open them yourself. AGENTS.md §Filed by directory lists every section and its file. The map:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
