AGENTS.md — Mosaic Stack

Guidelines for AI agents working on this codebase.

Quick Start

1. Read CLAUDE.md for project-specific patterns
2. Check this file for workflow and context management
3. Use TOOLS.md patterns (if present) before fumbling with CLIs

Context Management

Context = tokens = cost. Be smart.

Strategy	When
Spawn sub-agents	Isolated coding tasks, research, anything that can report back
Batch operations	Group related API calls, don't do one-at-a-time
Check existing patterns	Before writing new code, see how similar features were built
Minimize re-reading	Don't re-read files you just wrote
Summarize before clearing	Extract learnings to memory before context reset

Workflow (Non-Negotiable)

Code Changes

1. Branch    → git checkout -b feature/XX-description
2. Code      → TDD: write test (RED), implement (GREEN), refactor
3. Test      → pnpm test (must pass)
4. Push      → git push origin feature/XX-description
5. PR        → Create PR to develop (not main)
6. Review    → Wait for approval or self-merge if authorized
7. Close     → Close related issues via API

Never merge directly to develop without a PR.

Issue Management

# Get Gitea token
TOKEN="$(jq -r '.gitea.mosaicstack.token' ~/src/jarvis-brain/credentials.json)"

# Create issue
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/v1/repos/mosaic/stack/issues" \
  -d '{"title":"Title","body":"Description","milestone":54}'

# Close issue (REQUIRED after merge)
curl -s -X PATCH -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/v1/repos/mosaic/stack/issues/XX" \
  -d '{"state":"closed"}'

# Create PR (tea CLI works for this)
tea pulls create --repo mosaic/stack --base develop --head feature/XX-name \
  --title "feat(#XX): Title" --description "Description"

Commit Messages

<type>(#issue): Brief description

Detailed explanation if needed.

Closes #XX, #YY

Types: feat, fix, docs, test, refactor, chore

TDD Requirements

All code must follow TDD. This is non-negotiable.

1. RED — Write failing test first
2. GREEN — Minimal code to pass
3. REFACTOR — Clean up while tests stay green

Minimum 85% coverage for new code.

Token-Saving Tips

• Sub-agents die after task — their context doesn't pollute main session
• API over CLI when CLI needs TTY or confirmation prompts
• One commit with all issue numbers, not separate commits per issue
• Don't re-read files you just wrote
• Batch similar operations — create all issues at once, close all at once

Key Files

File	Purpose
