# AGENTS.md ## What this project is One paragraph: what the product does, who it is for, and the one thing an agent must not break. Link the README for setup; keep this file about *how to work*. ## Commands Run these; do not invent substitutes. - `pnpm dev` — web app - `pnpm test` — unit + integration - `pnpm test:e2e` — Playwright (stop anything on :3000 first) - `pnpm lint && pnpm typecheck` — required before a commit ## Conventions - Match existing naming, types, and file layout before adding abstractions. - Small diffs. One logical change per commit (Conventional Commits). - Comments only for non-obvious business rules. ## Hard rules - Never commit secrets, `.env`, or real credentials. - Ask before adding a dependency or a paid service. - Do not weaken auth checks, scan gates, or license verification. - Scan fixtures stay inert — never functional payloads.
