Treat the nearest AGENTS.md and current-truth .context/ documents like
comments attached to what they cover: read them before changing it.
As you make a coherent change, keep those documents accurate in the same change. If a cold agent could still work correctly from them, leave them alone. If they would mislead the next agent, update them before finishing.
Write what a cold agent needs and can't read from the files themselves. When the implementation diverged from the settled plan, record the divergence and leave the intent as settled.
Load /creative-writing-skills:qi-layer when creating, moving, restructuring, or substantially
rewriting colocated knowledge.
Track deferred work separately: directory-local must-do work goes in the
nearest .context/TODO, directory-local nice-to-have work in
.context/FUTURE, and cross-cutting or externally visible work in the project
issue tracker. Load /creative-writing-skills:knowledge-layers when placement is unclear.
Cross-cutting KB synthesis belongs to @kb-lead, after the change settles.
