Starter Files and Checklists
Starter AGENTS.md
Section titled “Starter AGENTS.md”## Project Commands
- Install: `npm install`- Dev: `npm run dev`- Verify: `npm run verify`
## Coding Rules
- Prefer small diffs over broad rewrites.- Follow existing file and naming patterns unless the task requires a change.- Add or update tests when behavior changes.- Update docs when setup, APIs, or user workflows change.
## Verification
- Run the relevant checks before finishing.- Say what you verified versus what you assumed.- For UI changes, provide screenshots or equivalent evidence when possible.
## Safety
- Ask before destructive actions.- Prefer least privilege for tools and network access.Starter Multi-Agent Setup
Section titled “Starter Multi-Agent Setup”# Multi-agent repo setup
- Keep shared project instructions in `AGENTS.md`.- Add `CLAUDE.md` only for Claude-specific memory or hooks.- Add `GEMINI.md` only for Gemini-specific setup that should not live in `AGENTS.md`.- Do not duplicate shared rules across all files.Coding Task Checklist
