agent-standards

Shared coding standards for AI agents.

Usage

Add as a git submodule:

git submodule add git@github.com:block65/agent-standards.git standards

Example

For a rust crate, in your project's AGENTS.md:

**Always:** Read `standards/index.md` — follow all "Always load" standards listed there.
**Before writing or modifying Rust code:** STOP. Read `standards/lang/rust.md` and follow it.

index.md is the barrel — new "Always load" entries propagate automatically without updating consuming repos. Only hardcode task-specific standards.

Assumptions

These standards assume the compend CLI (from the block65/compend repo) is on PATH. Standards docs defer library and language facts to it rather than copying them (e.g. lang/rust.md → compend get rust-book <topic>). Where it is not installed, follow the standards alone — do not substitute web fetches for compend lookups.
