One core for the work every agent does.
I wanted a set of rules I could use across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor without rewriting them for each framework or project.
The core lives in one AGENTS.md and covers the parts of a coding task that don't change with the stack: understanding the request, keeping the change focused, handling sensitive data, debugging failures, and checking the result.
The file also sets boundaries. Unless I explicitly ask, the agent shouldn't delete files, rewrite Git history, force-push, or make a...
