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.
