1/**
2 * A repository's instructions for agents: `AGENTS.md` (and `CLAUDE.md`)
3 * at its root and in the directories a task touches, and
4 * `.g1t/review.md` for reviews. Read for every g1t agent run and put in its
5 * prompt, labelled as the repository's.
6 *
7 * Trust: instructions are followed only when they come from the
8 * repository itself: its default branch, or for a pull request from one of
9 * its own branches, that branch. A pull request from a fork (and every
10 * change g1t-agent makes is in a fork) can change these files too, but what
11 * it says is part of the change, not instructions: the agent is shown it
12 * as such, and keeps following the default branch's.
13 *
14 * No runtime imports, so it can be tested on its own.
