We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 36,368 AGENTS.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

AGENTS.md — ctrlshft (public)

ctrlshft is the primary, authoritative product source for Sandcastle, shft, hooks, skills, docs, and reusable automation. Public work starts HERE so review and history are native to the public project.

Canonical invariants

Read ~/dotfiles/WORKSPACE_INVARIANTS.md for the full ownership test, private-only list, and guard index. Run ctrl prime "<scope>" before cross-root or file-writing tasks.

What this repo owns (branch 1 of the ownership test)

  • shft/templates/workflows/** — product workflow templates (mirror of hub)
  • shft/templates/actions/**, shft/templates/prompts/**, shft/templates/extractions/**
  • shft/engine/** — engine source (publishes to ctrlshft-hub)
  • test/**, docs/adr/**, plans/**, bin/**
  • REPO_TOPOLOGY.md — canonical topology doc

Resolve these here, then pull back to dotfiles (Direction A in ~/dotfiles/seams/public-pullback.md).

What it does NOT own (never)

  • Private/dotfiles overlay paths: secrets/, working/, .env*
  • skills/_local/**, instructions/_local/**
  • sandcastle.config.json + installed .github/workflows/agent-*.yml — host-managed consumer assets, never promoted FROM private
  • llm-gateway — runtime, unrelated to product CI

Push policy

  • Work on dev, PR to main. Never push dev→main directly.
  • Public pushes require CTRL_ALLOW_PUBLIC_PUSH=1 AND passing bin/validate-public-promotion.sh + bin/preflight-public-promotion.sh --range.
  • The main branch accepts only dev-headed promotion PRs (validate-main-pr-source).

Hub relationship

Engine + canonical templates live in arndvs/ctrlshft-hub. Changes to engine or templates go hub-first (edit hub, run test/hub-smoke-coverage.sh, mirror back via bin/sync-hub-templates.sh). See ~/dotfiles/seams/vendor-sandcastle.md.
