~/.claude/CLAUDE.md was in no git repo despite heavy editing, and
~/.codex/AGENTS.md was a hand-synced duplicate of it. Both now live in
entry/ and import the shared fragments; RTK.md moves to claude-md/ so
Codex stops carrying its own copy.
Claude's imports are ~/-anchored so they resolve through the symlink.
Also drops kt from the comment rule scope.
Rustdoc, JSDoc, NatSpec and docstrings document a surface for callers and
are read by tooling — NatSpec ends up in contract metadata. The rule read
as an instruction to delete them, and the linter blocked a legitimate
rustdoc block.
Also: plain block comment bodies were never linted (no per-line marker),
and a literal double-star in a code span was flagged as bold.
Merges the landmine and MUST categories, which said the same thing.
Codex reads ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, not ~/.agents/AGENTS.md, so the file
generated there last commit was inert. Both tools support @path imports,
which removes the generate-and-drift step entirely.
code-comments.md moves to ~/.claude/rules/ with paths frontmatter, so its
24 lines load only when a source file is read.
Nine bullets to six. Cut what the harness now ships by default: the
scope-discipline bullet, "create/modify files freely" (subsumed), and
the standalone refuse-dangerous-tasks bullet (restated the injection
rule with examples, now merged into it).
Adds progress-claim grounding for long unattended runs, per the Fable 5
guide. Codex gets both fragments now — link.sh concatenates them into
~/.agents/AGENTS.md, since Codex has no @import.
Replaces public-comms.md and code-comments.md (749 words, ~25 rules,
almost all prohibitions, no examples) with a single writing.md that
leads with worked examples.
The rule is selection, not compression: keep output short by cutting
whole ideas that don't change what the reader does next, then write what
survives as plain sentences. Not by dropping articles or writing
fragments, which Anthropic's Fable 5 guide calls out as the wrong lever.
Prompt style leaks into output style, so the file is written in the
voice it asks for.
Drops the BLUF ask-line rule entirely: everyone on a PR already knows
who reviews and who merges, and read literally it produced openers like
"Ask: reviewers please merge".
Links the contract to ~/.agents/AGENTS.md, which Codex had nothing in at
all, and to the nix module for the NixOS machine.
comms-lint.py and comment-lint.py lived only in ~/.claude, which is not
a git repo. Contract prose lived in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. Neither survived
a machine rebuild.
Prose moves to claude-md/ fragments, imported via @name.md. Linters move
to hooks/. link.sh and home.nix distribute both. settings.json wiring
stays manual — it holds machine-local MCP/statusline config this repo
must not own.
