# Agent Instructions

## Project

PROJECT_NAME: PROJECT_DESCRIPTION

## Repository Rules

- Prefer existing project patterns over new abstractions.
- Keep changes scoped to the user's request.
- Do not commit secrets, `.env` files, private keys, certificates, or tokens.
- Do not rewrite history or run destructive git commands unless explicitly requested.
- Do not create a release unless explicitly requested.

## Commands

Use these commands when available:

```bash
LINT_COMMAND
TEST_COMMAND
BUILD_COMMAND
AUDIT_COMMAND
```

If a command is missing, inspect the project and document the closest safe alternative in `.codex/project.md`.

## Artifacts

Expected artifact output:

```text
ARTIFACT_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
```

Expected artifact names:

```text
ARTIFACT_NAME
```

## Security Notes

- Review `docs/security-review.md` before release work.
- Treat generated credentials and config files as sensitive.
- Keep external network calls documented.
- Prefer local processing for user data.
