What changed
AGENTS.md..agent-instructions/AGENTS.mdcopy.solidstats-shared-project-standards:AGENTS.mdis the only required agent-instruction file, and deletedCLAUDE.mdfiles must not be recreated.Why
Codex does not expand nested
@.agent-instructions/AGENTS.mdimports. It only loads instruction files found in its startup directory chain, so the shared rules were not guaranteed to enter the initial context.Impact
New Codex sessions load the shared rules directly from the root file. The canonical source remains generated rather than maintained twice.
CLAUDE.mdis no longer part of the repository contract.Validation
--checkpasses.AGENTS.mdis 30,340 bytes, below the portable 32 KiB limit.markdownlint-cli2passes for the root instructions and refreshed skill.quick_validate.py.
