The repo is maintained by agents from multiple vendors, so agent instructions move out of vendor-specific locations into shared, git-tracked markdown: - AGENTS.md is the new entry point for any harness; CLAUDE.md becomes a symlink to it (Claude Code keeps working unchanged). - Skill bodies relocate to agent/: VERIFICATION.md (the enforcement rules, ex .claude/skills/nomarchy), DELEGATION.md (capability tiers light/standard/frontier, scout/runner role contracts, token economy, parallel fan-out — consolidates the CLAUDE.md model table, LOOP.md's economy section, and skill §6.5 into one place; vendor model names survive only in the per-harness mapping table), THEME-DESIGN.md (ex .claude/skills/theme, which previously lacked frontmatter). - .claude/ shrinks to a thin Claude Code adapter: settings, subagent defs, and skill shims that route into agent/. - Maps updated: agent/README.md (instructions vs state vs adapters), docs/README.md, README.md layout tree. Cleanup: stale old_distro .gitignore entry dropped (dir long gone); local result*/__pycache__ artifacts removed; JOURNAL.md rotated (29 recent entries kept, 120 older moved to agent/JOURNAL-ARCHIVE.md, rotation rule documented in the header). Verification: V0 (docs/meta only) — nix flake check --no-build exit 0 with the tracked symlink; grep sweep confirms no vendor model names outside DELEGATION.md's mapping table.

Agent instructions + loop state
Everything an AI agent needs to work on Nomarchy, vendor-neutral and git-tracked. Protocol: LOOP.md. Entry point for every harness: repo-root AGENTS.md.
Instructions (how to work)
| File | Who writes | Role |
|---|---|---|
| LOOP.md | Human | One-iteration protocol (orient → pick → work → verify → commit → record) + the V0–V3 ladder |
| VERIFICATION.md | Human (agents propose) | Enforcement: preflight, honesty rules, visual protocol, hardware-blocked checks, reporting |
| DELEGATION.md | Human (agents propose) | Capability tiers, scout/runner roles, token economy, parallel fan-out |
| GOALS.md | Human (agents propose) | Pillars, quality bars, non-goals |
| CONVENTIONS.md | Human (agents propose) | How to write code/menu/state while shipping |
| THEME-DESIGN.md | Human (agents propose) | Theme/visual design instructions |
State (what's happening)
| File | Who writes | Role |
|---|---|---|
| BACKLOG.md | Both | Prioritized queue — only executable work list |
| JOURNAL.md | Agents | Append-only iteration log (read last 3–5 entries; older → JOURNAL-ARCHIVE.md) |
| MEMORY.md | Agents | Curated durable gotchas |
| HARDWARE-QUEUE.md | Agents append, human checks | On-hardware V3 tests only Bernardo can run |
Product / design docs (not a queue)
| File | Role |
|---|---|
| ../docs/VISION.md | v1.0 product themes — agents slice into BACKLOG PROPOSED |
| ../docs/ROADMAP.md | Design history + shipped log |
| ../docs/README.md | Full docs map |
Harness adapters (vendor-specific, thin)
Shared content never lives in an adapter — adapters only register/route into the files above, in whatever format their harness requires.
| Path | Harness | Role |
|---|---|---|
| ../AGENTS.md | any | Entry point (CLAUDE.md is a symlink to it) |
| ../.claude/settings.json | Claude Code | Tool permissions |
| ../.claude/agents/ | Claude Code | nomarchy-scout / nomarchy-runner role defs (contracts in DELEGATION.md) |
| ../.claude/skills/ | Claude Code | Skill shims → VERIFICATION/DELEGATION/THEME-DESIGN |
Do not put backlog items, vision text, or policy under an adapter directory — it is not shared with other agent runners.
Rules of thumb
- Execute from BACKLOG only (NOW → NEXT; never PROPOSED without human triage).
- Orient with GOALS + CONVENTIONS + MEMORY + last journal + BACKLOG; when the task is product-shaped, also read the relevant VISION §.
- Record lasting design in ROADMAP ✓ when something ships that future humans should know; delete the BACKLOG line.
- v1 branch is human-only — never advance from an agent session.
