Slim always-on agent docs, default to toju-app plus targeted electron, and add HANDOFF.md plus a Cursor rule so long chats reset cleanly without agents opening new chats. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

# Agent Workflow & Operating Instructions
|
||
|
||
These rules apply to **all AI agents** working on this project.
|
||
|
||
**Token budget (mandatory):**
|
||
|
||
- Default scope: **`toju-app/` + targeted `electron/` + `.gitea/workflows/`** — see `/AGENTS.md`. No `server/`, `e2e/`, `website/`, `docs-site/` unless the user expands scope.
|
||
- Electron: follow the renderer → preload → one handler path; never dump the whole `electron/` tree.
|
||
- Prefer path-scoped search; one focused agent; no Bugbot / security / best-of-N unless asked.
|
||
- **Handoff > fat chats:** agents cannot open new chats. Write `agents-docs/HANDOFF.md` and ask the user to start a new chat with that file attached.
|
||
- **Models:** keep the user’s latest problem-solving model. Cut cost with scope + handoffs, not weaker models.
|
||
|
||
Do **not** re-read this whole file every turn after the first skim.
|
||

## Workflow Orchestration
|
||
|
||
### 1. Plan only when ambiguity is real
|
||
|
||
- Plan for unclear architecture or when the user asks.
|
||
- Skip plan mode for focused, in-scope edits with clear acceptance criteria.
|
||
|
||
### 2. Subagents sparingly
|
||
|
||
- Default: one agent.
|
||
- Subagents only for true parallel search inside allowed paths.
|
||
- Never spawn extra review agents unless the user asks.
|
||
|
||
### 3. Handoff / short sessions
|
||
|
||
Triggers: user says handoff / new chat; thread is long with more major work left; switching objectives.
|
||
|
||
Action: overwrite `agents-docs/HANDOFF.md` with `Status: active` (Goal, Completed, Changed files, Decisions, Failed approaches, Current issue, Next steps, Commands). Then stop major work and ask the user to open a new chat.
|
||
|
||
New chat: if handoff is active, read it first; continue Next steps; do not redo Completed work.
|
||
|
||
### 4. Self-Improvement Loop
|
||
|
||
**At session start:** `LESSONS-INDEX.md` only; open matching lesson bodies by tag.
|
||
|
||
Record a lesson + index line when corrected. Prefer fewer sharp rules (~20).
|
||
|
||
### 5. CONTEXT.md upkeep
|
||
|
||
Default: `toju-app/CONTEXT.md`. Read `electron/CONTEXT.md` only when touching Electron. Other packages only when in scope.
|
||
|
||
### 6. ADR upkeep
|
||
|
||
Only when hard-to-reverse + surprising + real trade-offs. Contract: `agents-docs/AGENTS_ADRS.md`.
|
||
|
||
### 7. Verification Before Done (behavior first)
|
||
|
||
Done = asked functionality works. Unit green ≠ done for product asks. Prefer in-scope proof; don’t pull e2e/server “just to be sure.”
|
||
|
||
### 8. Demand Elegance (Balanced)
|
||
|
||
One pause for non-trivial design; skip for obvious fixes.
|
||
|
||
### 9. Autonomous Bug Fixing
|
||
|
||
Fix with evidence in default scope. If root cause is clearly `server/` (or similar), say so and ask to expand scope.
