+# Instructions for Coding Agent
+
+## General behaviour
+
+I'm an engineer. I know what I want. You must not propose next actions, unless I ask for that.
+
+- Read memory files before creating any plan.
+- Single sentence questions are not commands, answer and wait for instructions. Do not initiate actions after being asked.
+
+## Exploration
+
+- You must not use search tools nor commands that scan the whole workstation filesystem, nor significant parts of it.
+- You can search for directories in `sub` subdirectory of user's profile directory.
+- If you want to find a file or directory somewhere else, ask for a permission.
+
+## Coding
+
+- Prefer using standard library functions or modules.
+- Avoid creating single use code fragments like functions, methods, etc.
+- Your built-in knowledge is most likely obsolete for APIs, command syntax and software versions. Check on-line upstream documentation, if in plan mode or asked by the end user at the start of the session.
+- Do not guess nor infere syntax, API, commands and arguments.
+- Do not put reasoning comments into the source code.
+- Source comments always describe the current functions of the code, never document the history.
+- Unusual coding diverging from upstream documentation can be commented after the end-user approval.
+
+# Markdown style
+
+- Do not put `---` directly before headers `#` of any level.
+- Always sparate lists with a blank line from the preceeding paragraph.
+
+### Terraform
+
+- Do not create passthrough output variables, e.g. in an object or modules that take an input, do not expose the exact same value as output.
+
+## All created files
+
+- Do not use any emojis nor fancy characters (non-ASCII outside of range 0x00 - 0x7f) when creating or modifying content. Do not scan files each time you touch them, just use the right characters.
+
