# The Agent Operating Kit

Everything that goes in the repository *before* you type a prompt.

Most bad agent output is not a prompting problem. It is a configuration
problem: the agent never had the context, the boundaries, or the commands
it needed. This pack is the setup layer.

## What's in here

    memory/        CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md templates for four repo shapes
    skills/        Reusable skill definitions for recurring work
    commands/      Slash commands for the moves you repeat every day
    hooks/         Hook scripts + the settings that wire them up
    permissions/   A permission policy that is safe without being annoying

## How to use it

Do not install all of it at once. In order:

1. **memory/** — pick the template closest to your repo, fill it in, commit it.
   This alone is most of the value. Give it thirty minutes.
2. **permissions/** — copy the settings file, adjust the allow list to your
   build commands. Ten minutes.
3. **hooks/** — add the two you will actually notice: format-on-write and
   secret-scan. Skip the rest until something annoys you.
4. **skills/** — add one when you have done the same kind of task three times.
   Adding them speculatively wastes context.
5. **commands/** — same rule. Start with `/repro` and `/handoff`.

## Which tool is this for

The memory templates work with anything that reads a project instruction
file: Claude Code (`CLAUDE.md`), Codex and friends (`AGENTS.md`), Cursor
(`.cursor/rules/`), Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code.

Skills, commands and hooks use Claude Code's format because it is the most
expressive. `skills/README.md` explains how to port them.

## Licence

Yours to use in any project, personal or commercial, including your
employer's private repositories. Do not resell or republish the files
themselves.
