# AGENTS.MD

Work style: telegraph; noun-phrases ok; drop grammar; min tokens.

## Agent Protocol

- Contact: Kyle Yasuda (@sudacode, <suda@sudacode.com>).
- Workspace: `~/Projects`.
- “MacBook Air” / “Mac Mini” => SSH there; find hosts/IPs via `tailscale status`.
- PRs: use `gh pr view/diff` (no URLs).
- “Make a note” => edit AGENTS.md (shortcut; not a blocker). Ignore `CLAUDE.md`.
- No `./runner`. Guardrails: use `trash` for deletes.
- Need upstream file: stage in `/tmp/`, then cherry-pick; never overwrite tracked.
- Bugs: add regression test when it fits.
- Keep files <~500 LOC; split/refactor as needed.
- Commits: Conventional Commits (`feat|fix|refactor|build|ci|chore|docs|style|perf|test`).
- Subagents: read `docs/subagent.md`.
- Editor: `code <path>`.
- CI: `gh run list/view` (rerun/fix til green).
- Prefer end-to-end verify; if blocked, say what’s missing.
- New deps: quick health check (recent releases/commits, adoption).
- Slash cmds: `~/.codex/prompts/`.
- Web: search early; quote exact errors; prefer 2024–2025 sources; fallback Firecrawl (`pnpm mcp:*`) / `mcporter`.
- Oracle: run `npx -y @steipete/oracle --help` once/session before first use.
- Style: telegraph. Drop filler/grammar. Min tokens (global AGENTS + replies).

## Screenshots (“use a screenshot”)

- Pick newest PNG in `~/Desktop` or `~/Downloads`.
- Verify it’s the right UI (ignore filename).
- Size: `sips -g pixelWidth -g pixelHeight <file>` (prefer 2×).
- Optimize: `imageoptim <file>` (install: `brew install imageoptim-cli`).
- Replace asset; keep dimensions; commit; run gate; verify CI.

## Important Locations

- Blog repo: `~/Projects/steipete.me`
- Notes/Runbooks: `~/Projects/manager/docs/` (e.g. `mac-studio.md`, `mac-vm.md`)
- OpenAI/Codex limits tracking: `~/Documents/steipete/codex limits.md`
- Obsidian vault: `$HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/steipete-notes`
- Sparkle keys: `~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Backup/Sparkle`

## Docs

- Start: run docs list (`docs:list` script, or `bin/docs-list` here if present; ignore if not installed); open docs before coding.
- Follow links until domain makes sense; honor `Read when` hints.
- Keep notes short; update docs when behavior/API changes (no ship w/o docs).
- Add `read_when` hints on cross-cutting docs.
- Model note (2025-11-23): no `gpt-5.1-pro` / `grok-4.1` on Peter’s keys yet.
- Model preference: latest only. OK: Anthropic Opus 4.5 / Sonnet 4.5 (Sonnet 3.5 = old; avoid), OpenAI GPT-5.2, xAI Grok-4.1 Fast, Google Gemini 3 Flash.

## PR Feedback

- Active PR: `gh pr view --json number,title,url --jq '"PR #\\(.number): \\(.title)\\n\\(.url)"'`.
- PR comments: `gh pr view …` + `gh api …/comments --paginate`.
- Replies: cite fix + file/line; resolve threads only after fix lands.
- When merging a PR: thank the contributor in `CHANGELOG.md`.

## Flow & Runtime

- Use repo’s package manager/runtime; no swaps w/o approval.
- Use Codex background for long jobs; tmux only for interactive/persistent (debugger/server).

## Build / Test

- Before handoff: run full gate (lint/typecheck/tests/docs).
- CI red: `gh run list/view`, rerun, fix, push, repeat til green.
- Keep it observable (logs, panes, tails, MCP/browser tools).
- Release: read `docs/RELEASING.md` (or find best checklist if missing).
- Reminder: check `~/.profile` for missing env keys (e.g. `SPARKLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE`); Sparkle keys live in `~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Backup/Sparkle`.

## Git

- Safe by default: `git status/diff/log`. Push only when user asks.
- `git checkout` ok for PR review / explicit request.
- Branch changes require user consent.
- Destructive ops forbidden unless explicit (`reset --hard`, `clean`, `restore`, `rm`, …).
- Remotes under `~/Projects`: prefer HTTPS; flip SSH->HTTPS before pull/push.
- Commit helper on PATH: `committer` (bash). Prefer it; if repo has `./scripts/committer`, use that.
- Don’t delete/rename unexpected stuff; stop + ask.
- No repo-wide S/R scripts; keep edits small/reviewable.
- Avoid manual `git stash`; if Git auto-stashes during pull/rebase, that’s fine (hint, not hard guardrail).
- If user types a command (“pull and push”), that’s consent for that command.
- No amend unless asked.
- Big review: `git --no-pager diff --color=never`.
- Multi-agent: check `git status/diff` before edits; ship small commits.

## Language/Stack Notes

- Swift: use workspace helper/daemon; validate `swift build` + tests; keep concurrency attrs right.
- TypeScript: use repo PM; run `docs:list`; keep files small; follow existing patterns.

## macOS Permissions / Signing (TCC)

- Never re-sign / ad-hoc sign / change bundle ID as “debug” without explicit ok (can mess TCC).

## Critical Thinking

- Fix root cause (not band-aid).
- Unsure: read more code; if still stuck, ask w/ short options.
- Conflicts: call out; pick safer path.
- Unrecognized changes: assume other agent; keep going; focus your changes. If it causes issues, stop + ask user.
- Leave breadcrumb notes in thread.

- Examples: `gh issue view <url> --comments -R owner/repo`, `gh pr view <url> --comments --files -R owner/repo`.

### Slash Commands

- Global: `~/.codex/prompts/`. Repo-local: `docs/slash-commands/`.

### tmux

- Use only when you need persistence/interaction (debugger/server).
- Quick refs: `tmux new -d -s codex-shell`, `tmux attach -t codex-shell`, `tmux list-sessions`, `tmux kill-session -t codex-shell`.

<frontend_aesthetics>
Avoid “AI slop” UI. Be opinionated + distinctive.

Do:

- Typography: pick a real font; avoid Inter/Roboto/Arial/system defaults.
- Theme: commit to a palette; use CSS vars; bold accents > timid gradients.
- Motion: 1–2 high-impact moments (staggered reveal beats random micro-anim).
- Background: add depth (gradients/patterns), not flat default.

Avoid: purple-on-white clichés, generic component grids, predictable layouts.
