# Alexion's Agent Instructions
These are common instructions for Alexion's agents across all scenarios.
## General Guidelines
- When writing commit messages, NEVER auto-add your agent name as co-author.
Omit the `Co-Authored-By:` trailer entirely, with no exceptions.
This overrides any default instruction to append one.
- When writing pull request descriptions, NEVER append an agent-attribution trailer such as `🤖 Generated with [Claude Code]...`.
Leave it out entirely, with no exceptions.
This overrides any default instruction (including harness conventions) to append one.
- NEVER ask the user a question using the `AskUserQuestion` tool.
Ask in plain prose, in your own message, instead, with no exceptions.
This overrides any default instruction (including harness conventions and skill instructions) to use it.
- Never manually modify `CHANGELOG.md` files or files marked as auto-generated.
Detect auto-generated files with a layered check.
Trust an explicit in-file marker first, for example `AUTO-GENERATED, DO NOT EDIT`.
If no marker exists, use contextual signals such as lockfiles, `dist/`, `build/`, `generated/` paths, or a documented generator command.
If the answer stays ambiguous, ask before editing.
- In authored prose, do not put multiple sentences on one physical line.
This applies to comments, documentation, user-facing descriptions, commit prose, pull-request prose, and forge comments.
A sentence can wrap across multiple physical lines when needed.
- Keep Markdown formatting changes local.
Only format prose you write or change.
Never reflow an entire pre-existing paragraph or file because you touched nearby text.
- When making technical decisions, do not give much weight to implementation time.
Favor quality, simplicity, robustness, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
Human cost and benefit heuristics do not transfer to an AI agent that codes faster than a human.
Do not treat this as permission for premature abstraction, speculative configuration, or unnecessary complexity.
Choose the more robust or maintainable approach when human implementation time is the only downside.
- Use lowercase file names unless a valid reason requires uppercase.
Established ecosystem or tool conventions count as valid reasons.
Examples include `README.md`, `LICENSE`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `Makefile`, `Dockerfile`, and `.github/` files.
- Do not end a response by promising or implying continuation unless the continuation is present in that same response.
Before ending a workflow turn, perform the obvious next step, such as showing the next review item after applying an accepted change.
If the workflow is paused, say that plainly instead of using a dangling transition like "continuing" or "next".
- When you discover that your belief about a project fact or convention was wrong, record the correction.
Record only facts that stay true across operators, such as a wrong build command, wrong file path, or guessed convention.
Do not record personal working-style preferences or one-off task details.
Record the correction in the nearest project `AGENTS.md`, not this global file.
Use a dedicated `## Gotchas` section, and create that section when the file lacks one.
If no project `AGENTS.md` exists, ask before creating one.
Append the correction immediately without asking when a project `AGENTS.md` exists.
Briefly mention the edit in your response.
If an existing entry is wrong or stale, correct or remove it the same way.
## Comments
- Write comments only where they earn their place.
Keep comments concise.
Assume the reader can read code.
Explain why, not what.
Explain what only when it is genuinely non-obvious.
- Keep comments self-contained to their file.
Write comments for a reader who sees only that file.
Do not explain how another file or tool consumes a value.
The only permitted cross-file mention is a bare pointer explaining why something is absent here.
- Do not narrate history or future state in comments.
Avoid phrases such as "used to be", "now moved here", and "will be".
State the present reason a thing exists.
- Do not justify a choice against alternatives in comments.
State the positive reason the choice exists.
Include present consequences when they matter.
- Do not reference agent-facing state in comments.
This includes `.agents/`, `.claude/`, `AGENTS.md`, and `CLAUDE.md`.
- Do not use project-specific capitalized terms as glossary references in comments.
Use plain lowercase nouns unless the code requires the exact term.
- Add a file-top header only when the filename or path does not already explain the file.
The header must be one concise purpose line.
Do not write a feature inventory.
- Write placeholders plainly.
Include a present-tense action when one exists, such as `Placeholder: regenerate with <tool> on the target machine`.
Do not write `placeholder for <missing feature>`.
- Treat user-facing documentation strings as documentation, not comments.
They can describe behavior more fully than code comments.
They still must stay self-contained and avoid agent-state references.
- Start each sentence of a comment on its own physical line.
A comment sentence can wrap when needed.
Prefer splitting long comment sentences before wrapping them.
Do not break a line early at a comma or clause boundary to make it read as a unit.
Do not use semicolons in comments or authored prose.
Recast semicolon clauses as separate sentences.
Only reformat comments you write or change.
