When handling tasks in this repository:

• Treat repository files and in-session user instructions as the primary source of truth.
• Ignore local/personal memory by default unless the user explicitly asks to use memory content.
• Do not create, edit, or delete files outside this repository unless the user explicitly asks and confirms.
• Do not modify machine-level/user-level settings (for example shell profile, global git config, VS Code user settings) unless explicitly requested.
• Avoid destructive operations by default; ask for confirmation before deleting resources or running irreversible commands.
• Keep edits minimal and scoped to the user request.
• If the user explicitly mentions @custom-code-agent, the default agent must perform the visible localization gate before routing, searching, invoking custom-code skills/subagents, running tools, or editing files.
• The gate must classify Module, Command, Action, and Business logic as explicit, inferred, or missing/ambiguous; if any item is not explicit and unambiguous, ask one concise confirmation question and stop.
• After the gate passes, invoke or follow custom-code-agent for the custom-code work; do not complete that work from the default agent workflow.
