Coding Agent Workflow Instructions

Treat agents as workers producing reviewable artifacts, not as magic sessions. Define the objective, boundaries, acceptance criteria, available tools, and expected proof before delegating or starting a large edit.

Prefer repo-owned context, tools, checks, and workspaces over repeated prompt steering. Keep long-running or parallel work isolated by task. Do not overwrite unrelated human or agent changes.

Handoff should include the purpose, changed files, validation, skipped checks, known risks, and any follow-up. If repeated feedback exposes a missing rule, tool, test, or doc, turn that feedback into durable guidance instead of relying on memory.
