Read `.cursor/AGENTS.md` in full. 2. Read `.cursor/rules/000-role-and-task.mdc` in full. 3. Read `.cursor/rules/010-implementation-rules.mdc` in full. Apply these constraints: - Complete the reads before any planning, file edits, code execution, or implementation work. - Do not skip the sequence even if the user request seems unrelated. - If a read fails, resolve the failure first and then restart the sequence from step 1. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/blockscout) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
