This file is an alias surface for Claude Code. Follow AGENTS.md as the primary bootstrap contract, then load the canonical governance docs in docs/agent-rules/INDEX.md.
Claude must treat the canonical rule docs as the source of truth for worktree policy, OpenSpec gating, GitHub completeness checks, TDD order, quality gates, versioning, and documentation rules. Do not rely on this file as a standalone governance handbook.
When a sibling internal repository with a wiki/ tree is present (see Strategic context in AGENTS.md and Internal wiki and strategic context in the OpenSpec rule), read those wiki files by absolute path before designing a new OpenSpec change. Keep wiki content out of the public repository. When you materially change an active OpenSpec change, mirror it to wiki/sources/<change-id>.md in that sibling repo (then rebuild the graph per the same rule); if the sibling checkout is missing, record a follow-up instead of assuming the wiki is current.
Claude must preserve the clean-code compliance gate and its category references. The canonical review surface enforces naming, kiss, yagni, dry, and solid and treats clean-code regressions as blocking until they are fixed or explicitly justified.
