This is the canonical repo instruction file. CLAUDE.md should point here so Codex and Claude read the same guidance. Project: Open-source e-reader firmware for ESP32-C3 and ESP32-S3 devices. Start narrow. Read the named entry point and its direct collaborators before scanning a whole subsystem; rg exact symbols and rg --files <directory> are the default discovery tools. The repository is intentionally split between application policy here and reusable hardware/UI implementation in the nested SDK.

Branching and state-modeling clarity in C/C++. Use when writing or refactoring logic that branches on discrete values: if/else-if ladders, status flags, mode or state ints, or anything that should be an enum plus an exhaustive switch. Covers enum class over magic ints, exhaustive switch over nested if, early-return guard clauses, table dispatch, and when each is the right call.

Layering and abstraction discipline for the firmware. Use when touching storage, input, display, settings, i18n, or rendering, or any code that could reach into the SDK. Covers routing through the HAL (HalStorage / HalGPIO / HalDisplay) instead of raw SDK classes, MappedInputManager logical buttons instead of raw GPIO indices, UITheme/GUI for all rendering, the singleton macros, tr() for user-facing text, and where a new abstraction boundary belongs.

Memory allocation discipline for the ESP32-C3 (~380KB RAM, no PSRAM, single 48KB framebuffer). Use whenever writing or reviewing code that allocates: new / malloc / std::vector / std::string, buffers, caches, or anything held across a loop or an activity lifecycle. Covers makeUniqueNoThrow vs raw new/malloc, fragmentation avoidance, reserve-before-push_back, alloc-once-reuse, stack vs heap sizing, and the chunked grayscale buffer pattern.

Producing small, single-concern, reviewable changes. Use when refactoring, cleaning up, restructuring, decomposing, or preparing a change for PR, especially in this multi-contributor AI-assisted codebase that is prone to sprawl diffs. Covers one-concern-per-commit, extracting helpers without widening scope, not bundling unrelated edits, decomposing oversized activities, comment hygiene, and a pre-handoff self-review checklist.

Feature-scope discipline for a dedicated e-reader (not a Swiss Army knife). Use when adding a feature, a new activity, a new lib, a setting, or a dependency, or when a request would grow the firmware's surface. Covers the SCOPE.md test, the RAM-cost vs reading-benefit gate, preferring no-code or existing-mechanism solutions, awareness of the existing activity surface, and how to push back on out-of-scope asks.

Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
What is a skill?
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Can I search my own team's files too?
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
