Team Rules

Team Coding Rules

Your team keeps its canonical coding rules in a shared Agent Filesystem workspace exposed as the team-rules MCP server. The workspace is read-only — nobody's agent can write to it. It's the single source of truth for how this team writes code.

Before writing or editing code

1. Call mcp__team-rules__file_list with path: "/rules" and depth: 2.
2. For the task at hand, read every rule file that plausibly applies. Examples:
   • auth/secrets/PII work → /rules/security.md
   • any new file or identifier → /rules/style.md, /rules/naming.md
   • adding tests → /rules/testing.md
   • cross-module or new module work → /rules/architecture.md
3. Cite applicable rules in your plan by path (e.g. "per /rules/security.md…").
4. Apply the rules to the code you produce.

Rules of engagement

• The workspace is read-only. Do not attempt file_write, file_replace, file_insert, or file_delete_lines against team-rules — they will fail.
• If a rule conflicts with what the user asked for, surface the conflict and ask before deciding.
• If no rule applies, say so — don't invent or extrapolate.
• Prefer reading the live rule over recalling it from memory. Rules change.
