DevAgentRadar → Repo Harness Rule Patch

Goal: update our repository's permanent harness instructions based on this release.

Update the file that tool actually reads. Do not dump everything into one file.

• Claude Code → CLAUDE.md plus .claude/ (skills, hooks, settings, agents, commands). It does not read AGENTS.md natively; start CLAUDE.md with @AGENTS.md.
• Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Factory Droid, Grok Build, Roo Code, Goose, OpenCode, Amp, Zed, Aider → AGENTS.md.
• Gemini CLI / Antigravity → GEMINI.md. AGENTS.md only if context.fileName is set.
• Cursor glob-scoped rules → .cursor/rules/*.mdc (plain .md is ignored), not a second constitution.
• Codex MCP → .codex/config.toml, not .mcp.json.
• Copilot extra instructions → .github/copilot-instructions.md; custom agents → .github/agents/.
• Windsurf → .windsurf/rules (do not assume AGENTS.md).
• Cline → .clinerules.
• Procedures → a skill (SKILL.md). Enforcement the model must not skip → a hook. Isolated roles → subagents.
• Do not fork the same rule into three tool files.

Context

Assistant: Kilo Code Proposal: Install git-hosted Marketplace plugins in JetBrains Settings and enable Kilo Swarm Summary: JetBrains 7.1.7 adds an in-IDE Marketplace for agents, MCP servers, and skills (npm or git: URLs), Kilo Swarm with a board viewer, leftover worktree cleanup, and editor-selection grounding. Standardize on Marketplace installs and Swarm boards so tooling and collaboration stay inside the IDE. Primary source: https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode/releases/tag/jetbrains/v7.1.7

Why it matters

Kilo Code JetBrains 7.1.7 moves agent, MCP, and skill installation into Settings Marketplace, including npm packages and git-hosted plugins (git:github.com/owner/repo@v1.2.3#subdir) with fixes for ~/ paths, failed-clone leftovers, and unused clone-cache deletion. Swarm is now in JetBrains with an Agent Behavior toggle, readable board tool cards, a board viewer, wrap/copy-all, and a warning when posting to a stopped subagent, plus recovery from stale board cursors. Agent Manager adds leftover worktree cleanup with size reporting, git-checkout warnings, safe removal, and copy-path/reveal when nested deletion is blocked. Selected-code prompts now use the active editor selection; large pastes fold only after 15 lines or 4000 characters. Read-only git/gh no longer trigger sandbox escalation; sessions link to PRs without a timed gh pr view probe; new worktree sessions use normal model defaults and the worktree’s own logs and npm configs. Teams should pin Marketplace installs, run Swarm on a live board, and clean leftover worktrees so JetBrains sessions stay isolated and collaborative.

Suggested actions

1. In JetBrains, open Settings → Marketplace and install the team’s agents, MCP servers, and skills from npm or git:github.com/<owner>/<repo>@<tag>#<subdir>; uninstall unused plugins so the cloned cache is deleted when no scope still uses it.

2. Turn on the Kilo Swarm Agent Behavior toggle, open the board viewer for this session, keep the board open while navigating, use copy-all on long messages, and do not post to a stopped subagent (the UI now warns).

3. Run the Agent Manager leftover-worktree cleanup in JetBrains, read the size report and git-checkout warnings, then safely remove unused folders; if nested deletion is blocked, use copy path and reveal.

4. Select the target code in the active JetBrains editor before sending a selected-code prompt so the agent is grounded on that selection; pastes fold only after 15 lines or 4000 characters.

5. Create the next session inside the worktree so it uses that worktree’s logs, npm configs, and normal session model defaults, and link the session to its pull request without a timed gh pr view probe.

After you finish

Do not report this as applied to DevAgentRadar. You cannot write the visitor's loop.

Tell the human: open https://devagentradar.com/proposals/kilo-code-jetbrains-v7-1-7-install-git-hosted-marketplace-plugins-in-jet and mark Applied, Skipped, or Failed. Proposal id: 497980ea-b7ce-4bb2-ab19-872a43a17ad4

Instructions:

1. Read the existing context files and settings for the tools in this repo.
2. Draft an explicit Git diff. Update ONLY agent harness rules or tool configuration.
3. Call out deprecated flags, obsolete habits, or changed permission boundaries.
4. Do not touch application logic.

Start with the proposed diff and say which layer and which tool's file it belongs in.
