+# Repository Guidelines
+
+Shared agent instructions for this workspace.
+
+## Coding Agent Notes
+
+- When adding a new `AGENTS.md` anywhere in the repo, also add a `CLAUDE.md` symlink pointing to it.
+- When working on a GitHub Issue or PR, print the full URL at the end of the task.
+- When answering questions, respond with high-confidence answers only: verify in code; do not guess.
+- Do not update dependencies casually. Version bumps, patched dependencies, overrides, or vendored dependency changes require explicit approval.
+- Add brief comments for tricky logic. Keep files reasonably small when practical; split or refactor large files instead of growing them indefinitely.
+- If shared guardrails are available locally, review them; otherwise follow this repo's guidance.
+
+## Multi-Agent Safety
+
+- Do not create, apply, or drop `git stash` entries unless explicitly requested.
+- Do not create, remove, or modify `git worktree` checkouts unless explicitly requested.
+- Do not switch branches or check out a different branch unless explicitly requested.
+- When the user says `push`, you may `git pull --rebase` to integrate latest changes, but never discard other in-progress work.
+- When the user says `commit`, commit only your changes. When the user says `commit all`, commit everything in grouped chunks.
+- When you see unrecognized files or unrelated changes, keep going and focus on your scoped changes.
+
+## Change Hygiene
+
+- If staged and unstaged diffs are formatting-only, resolve them without asking.
+- If a commit or push was already requested, include formatting-only follow-up changes in that same commit when practical.
+- Only stop to ask for confirmation when changes are semantic and may alter behavior.
