Summary
Add AGENTS.md files to discipline module directories, starting with those that have domain ASR specs (mathematics, philosophy, sociology, games, education) and expanding to the remaining 18+ disciplines. Each file defines the interpretive stance for agents working in that directory.
Motivation
Decision 0002 accepted per-directory agent instructions as bounded interpretive contexts. This plan implements that decision. Currently agents working in any discipline directory receive only root and content-level instructions — no discipline-specific interpretive guidance. Adding AGENTS.md files gives agents ambient context about vocabulary, reasoning style, and methodological commitments before they receive a task.
Steps
- Write a
write-directory-agent-instructionsskill (SKILL.md) that codifies the process for creating per-directory AGENTS.md files. - Create AGENTS.md for the 5 disciplines with domain ASR specs: mathematics, philosophy, sociology, games, education.
- Create AGENTS.md for the remaining discipline modules, prioritized by file count (technology, militarism, business, linguistics, ecology, etc.).
- Add AGENTS.md conventions to the ASR directory-organization spec.
- Update root AGENTS.md to mention per-directory files and routing.
Done when
- Skill exists at a suitable location with anti-slop checklist
- 5 disciplines with domain ASR specs have AGENTS.md files
- Root AGENTS.md references per-directory convention
- Directory-organization spec updated
Dependencies
- Decision 0002 (accepted)
- Domain ASR specs for the first 5 disciplines (exist)
