rivie13 Load Interface Instructions
Mandatory first step: terminal scope check
Before running any Interface command, verify terminal scope:
Set-Location "C:\Users\rivie\vsCodeProjects\Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface"Get-Locationgit rev-parse --show-toplevelgit branch --show-current
If scope is wrong, open a fresh Interface-scoped terminal and re-run checks.
When to use
When working on code in the Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface repo (TypeScript SDK + contracts) and you need repo-specific context. The agent should read the relevant instruction files to understand conventions, architecture, and project structure.

How to load
Read the files you need using read_file. Common patterns:
Starting coding work
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-coding-conventions.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-project-structure.instructions.md")
Build/test troubleshooting
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-build-and-test.instructions.md")
Architecture/planning
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-architecture.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-roadmap.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-strategy.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-git-hygiene.instructions.md")
Load all (when full context is needed)
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-coding-conventions.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-build-and-test.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-project-structure.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-architecture.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-roadmap.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-strategy.instructions.md")
