Yes, it's AI instructions written with AI assistance. We've come full circle.\n\u003e\n\u003e **Scope**: Commands, skills, agents, and hooks have been migrated to\n\u003e [JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins](https://github.com/JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins)\n\u003e and are delivered as portable plugins. This repository now maintains the generic pieces\n\u003e that aren't plugin-delivered: the canonical `AGENTS.md` / `CLAUDE.md` / `GEMINI.md`\n\u003e configuration, the auto-loaded rules in `agentsmd/rules/`, the 5-step development\n\u003e workflow in `agentsmd/workflows/`, the permission framework in `agentsmd/permissions/`,\n\u003e and the CI / validation tooling that keeps all of the above honest.\n\n[![License][license-badge]][license-url]\n[![Markdown Lint][markdownlint-badge]][markdownlint-url]\n[![pre-commit][precommit-badge]][precommit-url]\n\n## What Is This?\n\nA centralized collection of instructions, workflows, and configurations for AI coding assistants.\nDrop these into your projects and get consistent, high-quality AI assistance across Claude, Copilot, and Gemini.\n\nThink of it as a style guide, but for your AI pair programmer.\n\n### Repo boundaries\n\nThe AI configuration layer is split across three repositories. This repo owns the rules.\n[`claude-code-plugins`](https://github.com/JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins) owns commands, skills, agents, and hooks.\n[`docs`](https://github.com/JacobPEvans/docs) owns the public-facing reference site at\n[`docs.jacobpevans.com`](https://docs.jacobpevans.com).\n\n```mermaid\ngraph LR\n    Rules[\"**ai-assistant-instructions**\u003cbr/\u003erules · workflows · permissions\"]\n    Plugins[\"**claude-code-plugins**\u003cbr/\u003ecommands · skills · agents · hooks\"]\n    Docs[\"**docs**\u003cbr/\u003epublic-facing reference\"]\n    Session((\"Developer session\"))\n\n    Rules --\u003e|\"auto-loaded\"| Session\n    Plugins --\u003e|\"marketplace install\"| Session\n    Docs -.-\u003e|\"read by humans and AI\"| Session\n\n    style Rules fill:#d4e6ff,stroke:#4a90d9,color:#000\n    style Plugins fill:#fff3d4,stroke:#d4a017,color:#000\n    style Docs fill:#e8d4ff,stroke:#8a4ad9,color:#000\n```\n\nFull rule, decision table, and update workflow: [`docs.jacobpevans.com/ai-development/repo-boundaries`](https://docs.jacobpevans.com/ai-development/repo-boundaries).\n\nFor the broader Nix ecosystem context and session lifecycle diagrams, see [`docs/diagrams.md`](docs/diagrams.md).\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- **Git 2.30+** (for worktree support)\n- **GitHub CLI** (`gh`) 2.0+ (for PR/issue management)\n- **(Optional) Python 3.8+** for validation hooks\n- **(Optional) Node.js 18+** for markdown linting\n\n## Installation\n\n```bash\n# 1. Clone the repo\ngit clone https://github.com/JacobPEvans/ai-assistant-instructions.git\n\n# 2. Copy AGENTS.md into your project\ncp ai-assistant-instructions/AGENTS.md your-project/\n\n#    Optional: copy the auto-loaded rules too\nmkdir -p your-project/agentsmd\ncp -r ai-assistant-instructions/agentsmd/rules your-project/agentsmd/\n\n# 3. Create vendor symlinks so each AI tool reads the same source\ncd your-project\nln -sf AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md\nln -sf AGENTS.md GEMINI.md\n\n# 4. Install the plugins from JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins\n#    (commands, skills, agents, and hooks live there, not here)\nclaude marketplace add JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins\nclaude plugin install git-workflows github-workflows git-standards\n\n# 5. Verify setup\nclaude doctor\n```\n\nOr just browse the [documentation](docs/) and cherry-pick what you need.\n\n## Usage\n\nOnce installed, the AI assistants read `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` / `GEMINI.md`\nautomatically at session start, and the auto-loaded rules in `agentsmd/rules/`\nare pulled in for every session. Plugin-delivered commands and skills from\n[JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins](https://github.com/JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins)\nare invoked via slash commands (`/refresh-repo`, `/finalize-pr`, `/ship`, etc.)\nor directly by name.\n\nSee the [5-step workflow](#the-5-step-workflow) below for the expected\ndevelopment loop, and [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for the full set of rules,\nrouting decisions, and on-demand standards.\n\n## Directory Structure\n\n```text\n.\n├── AGENTS.md                  # Canonical configuration (CLAUDE.md / GEMINI.md are symlinks)\n├── agentsmd/\n│   ├── rules/                 # Auto-loaded universal and path-scoped rules\n│   ├── workflows/             # The 5-step development workflow\n│   ├── permissions/           # Permission framework (allow / ask / deny JSON configs)\n│   └── docs/                  # Permission and workflow support docs\n├── .claude/rules              # Symlink → agentsmd/rules\n├── .copilot/instructions.md   # Symlink → AGENTS.md\n├── .gemini/config.yaml        # Gemini-specific config\n├── scripts/                   # Validation helpers (token limits, permissions, links)\n└── .github/workflows/         # CI gates (markdown, spellcheck, link check, CodeQL, release-please)\n```\n\nClaude-Code plugins (commands, skills, agents, hooks) live in\n[JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins](https://github.com/JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins)\nand are consumed via the `git-workflows`, `github-workflows`, `git-standards`,\n`code-standards`, `infra-standards`, `project-standards`, `ai-delegation`,\n`config-management`, `content-guards`, `git-guards`, `script-guards`,\n`codeql-resolver`, and `session-analytics` plugins (among others).\n\n## Supported AI Assistants\n\n| Assistant | Integration | Notes |\n| --------- | ----------- | ----- |\n| **Claude** | `.claude/` directory | Full command support via Claude Code |\n| **GitHub Copilot** | `.github/copilot-instructions.md` + prompts | Works in VS Code, GitHub.com, Visual Studio |\n| **Gemini** | `.gemini/` directory | Style guide and config support |\n\n## The 5-Step Workflow\n\nThis repo centers on a rigorous development workflow:\n\n1. **Research \u0026 Explore** - Understand before you code\n2. **Plan \u0026 Document** - Write the \"what\" and \"why\" before the \"how\"\n3. **Define Success \u0026 PR** - Set acceptance criteria upfront\n4. **Implement \u0026 Verify** - Build with tests, verify as you go\n5. **Finalize \u0026 Commit** - Clean commits, passing CI\n\nFull details in [`agentsmd/workflows/`](agentsmd/workflows/).\n\n## Plugin-delivered commands, skills, agents, and hooks\n\nAll slash commands, skills, agents, and hooks previously listed in this README\nnow ship as plugins in\n[JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins](https://github.com/JacobPEvans/claude-code-plugins).\nInstall the marketplace and enable the plugins you need:\n\n| Plugin | Provides |\n| --- | --- |\n| `git-workflows` | `/refresh-repo`, `/sync-main`, `/rebase-pr`, `/troubleshoot-*` |\n| `github-workflows` | `/finalize-pr`, `/squash-merge-pr`, `/ship`, `/resolve-pr-threads`, `/shape-issues`, `/trigger-ai-reviews` |\n| `git-standards` | `/git-workflow-standards`, `/pr-standards` |\n| `code-standards` | `/code-quality-standards`, `/review-standards` |\n| `infra-standards` | `/infrastructure-standards` |\n| `project-standards` | `/agentsmd-authoring`, `/workspace-standards`, `/skills-registry` |\n| `ai-delegation` | `/delegate-to-ai`, `/auto-maintain` |\n| `config-management` | `/sync-permissions`, `/quick-add-permission` |\n| `codeql-resolver` | `/resolve-codeql` + specialist agents |\n| `session-analytics` | `/token-breakdown` |\n| `content-guards`, `git-guards`, `script-guards`, `pr-lifecycle`, `pal-health`, `process-cleanup` | PreToolUse / PostToolUse / Stop hooks — invoked automatically |\n\nSee [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for the full on-demand standards table and the\nauto-loaded rules reference.\n\n## Core Concepts\n\nThe documentation covers:\n\n- **Code Standards** - Consistency across languages\n- **Documentation Standards** - AI-friendly markdown\n- **Infrastructure Standards** - Terraform/Terragrunt patterns\n- **Permission System** - How AI tool permissions integrate with nix-config\n- **DRY Principle** - Why everything symlinks to one place\n- **Memory Bank** - Maintaining AI context across sessions\n- **Remote Commit Workflow** - Making commits via GitHub API without local clone\n\nBrowse [`agentsmd/rules/`](agentsmd/rules/) and [`agentsmd/docs/`](agentsmd/docs/).\n\n**Advanced**: This repo integrates with\n[nix-config](https://github.com/JacobPEvans/nix) for unified permission\nmanagement across AI tools. This is **optional** - the basic setup works\nstandalone. See [`agentsmd/docs/permission-system.md`](agentsmd/docs/permission-system.md)\nfor details.\n\n## Need Help?\n\n- [Codex Quick Start](docs/codex-quick-start.md) - repo analysis, prompt patterns, and Codex parity backlog\n- 📖 [Documentation Home](docs/) - Getting started guides and references\n- 🐛 [Issues](https://github.com/JacobPEvans/ai-assistant-instructions/issues) - Report bugs or request features\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions welcome.
