# Agent Configuration & Master Rulebook (.agent/config.md)

This is the primary source of truth for all AI agents working on **Doot**. These instructions take absolute precedence over general defaults.

## 1. Project Directory Structure (.agent/)

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `config.md` | **Main Entry Point** — Rules, workflows, and core mandates. |
| `worklog.md` | **Session State** — Current focus, recently completed, and next steps. |
| `design.md` | **Architecture** — High-level design, database schema, and components. |
| `coding_standards.md` | **Technical Standards** — Go/HTMX idioms, testing, and security. |
| `ux_philosophy.md` | **UX Principles** — Interaction models, palette, and mobile-first design. |
| `narrative.md` | **Background** — Historical context and evolution of the project. |

## 2. Core Mandates

### ULTRA-STRICT ROOT SAFETY PROTOCOL
1.  **Inquiry-Only Default:** Treat every message as research/analysis unless it is an explicit, imperative command (Directive).
2.  **Zero Unsolicited Implementation:** Never modify files, directories, or processes based on assumptions.
3.  **Interactive Strategy Checkpoint:** Research first, present a strategy, and **WAIT** for an explicit "GO" before any system-changing tool call.
4.  **No Destructive Assumptions:** Always verify state (`ps`, `ls`, `git status`) before proposing actions.
5.  **Root-Awareness:** Prioritize system integrity and user confirmation over proactiveness.

### Task Management
- **Worklog:** Update `.agent/worklog.md` at the start and end of every session.
- **Claudomator:** Use `claudomator create "Name" --instructions "Goals"` for new tasks. Use `claudomator finish <id>` when done.

### Living Documentation Mandate
1.  **Continuous Capture:** Agents MUST proactively update the files in `.agent/` (Design, UX, Standards, Mission, Preferences) as new decisions, patterns, or user preferences are revealed.
2.  **No Stale Instructions:** If a workflow or technical standard evolves, the agent is responsible for reflecting that change in the Master Rulebook immediately.
3.  **Worklog Integrity:** The `.agent/worklog.md` must be updated at the start and end of EVERY session to ensure continuity.

## 3. Workflows

### Research -> Strategy -> Execution
1.  **Research:** Map codebase, validate assumptions, reproduce bugs.
2.  **Strategy:** Share a summary. Wait for approval if significant.
3.  **Execution (Plan-Act-Validate):**
    - **Plan:** Define implementation and testing.
    - **Act:** Apply surgical, idiomatic changes.
    - **Validate:** Run `go test ./...` and `npm run build`.

## 4. Agent Context API (Snapshots)

The project includes an internal API for agents to understand the current user's task and meal context.

- **Request Access:** `POST /agent/auth/request` (returns `request_token`).
- **Poll Status:** `GET /agent/auth/poll?token=<request_token>` (awaits browser approval).
- **Get Context:** `GET /agent/context` (requires Bearer token).
- **Snapshot Endpoint:** `GET /api/claude/snapshot` (legacy, see `internal/handlers/agent.go` for new unified flow).

## 5. Essential Commands

| Command | Action |
|---------|--------|
| `go run cmd/dashboard/main.go` | Start application |
| `go test ./...` | Run all tests |
| `./scripts/deploy` | Deploy to production |
| `./scripts/logs` | View production logs |
| `./scripts/bugs` | List open production bugs |
| `./scripts/resolve-bug <id>` | Resolve a production bug |
