Owner

The startup rule in AGENTS.md omitted the automatic recall and eligible-save duties already present in the detailed memory policy. Agents reading only the startup instructions could miss the approved behaviour. This addresses the review finding from PR #16.

Regenerate rule 11 from the maintained shared source so startup instructions explicitly cover every chat, verified project scope, confirmed projectless work, preferences-only recall for unknown projects, and at most one eligible automatic save through the existing sole writer. Only that generated rule changes. All surrounding project instructions and the entire detailed memory document remain byte-identical.

Verification reused against unchanged commit 5d0c47f3d12de546e06e51d7c9afbdcaaeaaf756:

  • repository_rule_targets.collect_targets: exact approved generated block; unchanged outside bytes and memory document.
  • Standalone Prettier 3.9.9 --check AGENTS.md: passed.
  • git diff --check: passed. Normal named-file commit completed without hook bypass.

Fresh publication admission fetched main with --no-prune and confirmed origin/main is an ancestor of the candidate. No application, sending, database, browser or broad release check was selected locally for this one-rule instruction change. Hosted CI and fresh native behaviour remain separate; direct MCP filtering and compliance remain instruction-driven rather than universally enforced. No merge or deployment is requested.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated coding-agent guidance for recalling verified preferences and project context across sessions.
    • Clarified when durable information may be saved, how project context is handled when unavailable, and safeguards around memory operations.

Walkthrough

Shared working rule 11 now defines automatic memory recall at session start and conditional saving at meaningful task completion. It specifies behavior for verified, projectless, and unknown projects, plus adapter, namespace, and ledger requirements.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Memory recall and save requirements
AGENTS.md
Rule 11 specifies recall behavior by project status and limits saving to one eligible dated fact at meaningful task completion. It also sets adapter, verified namespace, and single-writer ledger requirements.

This change only clarifies automatic memory recall and save duties in agent instructions, with no application or deployment behavior change. The existing safeguards already prevent saves into unknown projects, so it is ready to merge, with an optional wording tweak.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Generated And Sensitive Files

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only tracked AGENTS.md, a plain-text instruction file. The changed content is an intentionally tracked generated rule block between shared-cloud-working-rules markers. No secret, credential, token, private key, real .env file, log, cache, dependency tree, build output, browser artifact, database dump, or machine-local configuration was introduced.

Full details: Verification Claims

Explanation

The description names each verification check and its result: repository_rule_targets.collect_targets reports the approved block and unchanged bytes, Prettier --check AGENTS.md passed, and git diff --check passed. It also states that application, sending, database, browser, and broad release checks were not selected because this is a one-rule instruction change. The diff confirms a one-line AGENTS.md rule change only.

Full details: Risky Git Or Deployment Actions

Explanation

The pull request changes only the shared rule 11 line in AGENTS.md. The new text does not recommend force-push, hard reset, destructive clean, branch deletion, shared-branch rebase, production data mutation, or deployment. It explicitly prohibits forgetting or deletion without exact approval. Existing publication and deployment safeguards are unchanged.

Full details: Supabase Project And Schema Safety

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only the shared rule text in AGENTS.md. The diff contains no Supabase project reference, schema, migration, RLS, policy, or database change. It does not introduce a stale project reference or a production-affecting database change.

Full details: Runtime And Package Manager Integrity

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only AGENTS.md, which updates an instruction block. It does not change package manifests, lockfiles, npm configuration, engine requirements, or runtime/version files. It introduces no package-manager switch or force/legacy dependency flag.

Full details: Api Route Failure Handling

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only the documentation file AGENTS.md. The diff contains no API route, server action, RAG, search, ingestion, or provider integration code. The API route failure-handling check is therefore not applicable.

9. Adapt the method to the task's uncertainty, risk and available tools. Delegate only when permitted and useful, with bounded context, clear ownership and acceptance evidence. Choose adequate supported capability and effort; keep mandatory review floors and distinguish requested routing from observed execution.
10. Keep a short checkpoint for substantial work: original objective, source/branch/commit, owned changes, decisions, evidence, blocker and next action. Before context loss or transfer, save it privately or in an approved sanitized project location; resume by checking relevant drift.
11. Use the commissioned `curated-save-only` adapter locally and the official authenticated Supermemory MCP in dot/cloud, with an explicit verified namespace on every call. Make one bounded session-start recall from verified preferences plus current project, and at most one dated durable task-end fact with decision, reason and source in one approved namespace. Verify hints against files and filter before transmission: the owner's own details are allowed; never patient or clinical information or secrets. Spending: the owner's Supermemory credits are the only limit; keep the usage ledger, size, deduplication and no-retry bounds. No default/cross-project fallback, bulk upload, indexing, forgetting or deletion without exact approval.
11. Apply memory automatically in every coding-agent chat, including fresh chats and new projects, without reminders. Use the commissioned `curated-save-only` adapter locally and the exposed official authenticated Supermemory MCP in dot/cloud; pass a verified namespace on every call. Recall once at session start: verified preferences plus the verified project; confirmed projectless work uses `codex_continuity`. For unknown/unmapped projects, recall preferences only and report project memory unavailable. At meaningful task completion automatically save at most one eligible dated durable fact with decision, reason and source; save nothing for duplicates, chatter or no eligible fact. Verify hints against files and filter before transmission: the owner's details are allowed; never patient/clinical information or secrets. Supermemory credits are the only spending limit. Keep one writer, ledger, size/call bounds, deduplication and no uncertain retries. No default or cross-project fallback, bulk upload, indexing, forgetting or deletion without exact approval.

Scope the namespace requirement to supported memory operations.

The phrase pass a verified namespace on every call may require namespace on identity and scope metadata calls. The memory policy defines who_am_i and list_spaces for verification, then applies namespace to search_memory, get_document, and add_memory. It does not establish that the metadata calls accept that argument.

Change the phrase to every scoped search/read/write call, or document schemas that support namespace on the metadata calls.
