From 6490a83ae2052bc4c7ad876f886c8a7abaf997e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Travis Thieman Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 09:53:35 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs: hoist RULES.md to docs/ and load it in every conversation Move the builtin implementation rules from the skill-local path (.claude/skills/implement-posix-command/RULES.md) to docs/RULES.md so they apply to all code changes, not just when the implement-posix-command skill is active. - Add @docs/RULES.md to AGENTS.md so the rules are loaded automatically in every Claude conversation about this repo - Update path references in implement-posix-command/SKILL.md and improve-loop/SKILL.md to point to the new canonical location - Remove the now-redundant skill-local copy (git detects it as a rename) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 --- .claude/skills/implement-posix-command/SKILL.md | 4 ++-- .claude/skills/improve-loop/SKILL.md | 2 +- AGENTS.md | 2 ++ {.claude/skills/implement-posix-command => docs}/RULES.md | 0 4 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) rename {.claude/skills/implement-posix-command => docs}/RULES.md (100%) diff --git a/.claude/skills/implement-posix-command/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/implement-posix-command/SKILL.md index a4dad33a..b21ce3d8 100644 --- a/.claude/skills/implement-posix-command/SKILL.md +++ b/.claude/skills/implement-posix-command/SKILL.md @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ If you catch yourself wanting to skip a step, STOP and do the step anyway. ## Context -The safe shell interpreter (`interp/`) implements all commands as Go builtins — it never executes host binaries.
