AGENTS.md

This repository keeps AI-specific working files in the project-local .ai/ directory, and keeps the repository-level AGENTS.md as a local AI control file.

Rules:

1. Keep all AI notes, prompts, plans, transcripts, and generated helper artifacts under .ai/.
2. Keep AGENTS.md as a local AI instruction file for this repository.
3. On main development branches, both .ai/ and AGENTS.md must remain gitignored so they can exist locally without affecting normal commits.
4. If AI files need to be versioned, do that work on a branch named ai, where .ai/ and AGENTS.md can be tracked intentionally.
5. When switching between ai and non-ai branches, preserve local AI files unless the user explicitly asks to remove them.
6. Any commit created by Codex in this repository must set the git author identity on the git commit command itself using --author="Codex <codex@local>".

Practical workflow:

• Use .ai/ for persistent local AI context in this working tree.
• Keep .gitignore on non-ai branches configured to ignore both .ai/ and AGENTS.md.
• If the ai branch should track these files, remove or override those ignore rules on the ai branch before committing.
• Do not rely on global git config for Codex-authored commits in this repository; pass the author explicitly on each commit command.
