# Conventions

## Conventions


- **Bold** terms in AGENTS.md for scannability
- Keep AGENTS.md under ~100 lines (the "hot 30" rule)
- Filenames: lowercase, hyphens (`todd-martinez.md`, `project-phoenix.md`)
- Always capture nicknames and alternate names
- Glossary tables for easy lookup
- When something's used frequently, promote it to AGENTS.md
- When something goes stale, demote it to memory/ only
