ANCHORS — REQUIRED FOR ALL CHANGES
This repo uses ANCHORS for requirements-driven development. You MUST load the anchors skill (/anchors) before making any code changes.
When adding or modifying features, you must update ALL THREE documents before writing code:
- PRODUCT.md — Add a P-* requirement (user-facing behavior only)
- ERD.md — Add an E-* requirement with
←backlink to the P-* ID - TESTING.md — Add or update the coverage mapping table so every new/changed requirement has a test-layer assignment. Always verify the table reflects the current scope — even if a row already exists, it may need updating.
Implementation and test code must include inline requirement ID comments (e.g., // E-PENPAL-FEATURE-NAME).

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
