Repository Agent Guidance

Continuity

Read HANDOFF.md for current state, blockers, verification, and the next action. Use the project's authoritative task list (default TODO.md) for open work and the project changelog (default CHANGELOG.md) for completed-change history. Follow these routes when the records exist; meditation creates missing continuity records only when authorized and consistent with project conventions.

Keep this file a stable quick start. Handoff is not a changelog or a duplicate backlog. Preserve history before pruning active records, and keep unresolved tasks until evidence or an explicit decision closes them. Meditation recommends skills or automation for demonstrated needs; authoring, broader adoption, and Mall submission require separate approval. It does not write episodic or native memory. Existing episodes are historical evidence, not active guidance. Cross-project work stays explicit until separately authorized.

Project artifact storage

Keep requested documents, plans, reports, code, useful one-off helpers, generated outputs, and required supporting evidence inside this repository. Respect explicitly approved destinations and existing project conventions. Session storage or a chat link is never the sole home of a project deliverable. Before completion, verify final files, dependencies, repository links, Git ignore state, and actual Git state. Exclude credentials, disposable runtime state, and unapproved sensitive or cross-project material. Storage requirements grant no additional implementation, installation, commit, push, or publication authority and do not constitute host-enforced filesystem isolation.
