# Project working agreement

<!-- Example from https://jedmay.com/things-you-can-try/ai-instructions
Edit for your project. Save as AGENTS.md at the project root for Codex.
If one exists, merge the relevant instructions instead of replacing it. -->

- Read the project instructions and existing conventions before editing.
- Preserve unrelated changes.
- Keep changes focused on the requested task.
- Use plain, descriptive wording in interfaces and documentation.
- Ask when missing information materially blocks progress.
- Run the project's appropriate checks and report the actual results.
- Distinguish implementation from behavior verified by a check.
- Never claim a test or independent review happened unless it did.
- Keep drafts local unless publication or sharing has been authorized.
