# AGENTS.md > Read by Codex CLI (OpenAI spec), Copilot, Aider (when referenced), Windsurf, Warp, Zed, Antigravity (since v1.20.3, 2026-03-05), JetBrains Junie. See also: CLAUDE.md / .cursor/rules/ / GEMINI.md / .junie/guidelines.md / replit.md. ## {{PROJECT_NAME}} {{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}} ## Before You Start 1. Read `DECISIONS.md` — architectural choices already made 2. Read `TODO.md` (if exists) — current priorities 3. Read `CLAUDE.md` (if exists) — project-specific rules ## Rules - **Constructor Pattern**: 1 file = 1 class. File <200 lines. Function <30 lines. - **Root cause**: fix causes, not symptoms - **SSOT**: types, routes, enums defined in ONE place - **Tests**: write WITH code, never defer ## Do NOT - Rewrite working code without reason - Add abstractions for one-time operations - Skip reading DECISIONS.md before architectural changes - Commit .env, credentials, API keys
