AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / GEMINI.md rule update

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.

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/zed-ai-v1-12-0-pre-improve-with-zed-ai-v1-12-0-pre-v1-12-0-pre and mark Applied, Skipped, or Failed. Proposal id: fbd3594d-a88f-4c4b-af1c-9f8940f96bbf

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.
