snapshot-based; do not design bespoke inverse operations for it. - Before changing or reviewing code that derives graph/workspace/branch/stack/commit relationships, reachability, dependencies, ordering, operation targets, or Git graph/history/ref-placement mutations, use `crates/WORKSPACE_MODEL.md

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md

About AGENTS.md

What is AGENTS.md?

An open format for instructions to coding agents, read by Codex, Cursor and others. Think of it as a README written for agents.

Where does it go?

At the repository root, with more specific files in subdirectories. Agents read the one closest to the file they're editing.

What should it contain?

Setup and test commands, code style, and the rules a new contributor would need to know.

Does Claude Code read it?

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md. A one-line CLAUDE.md that points at AGENTS.md covers both.
