Report #3254

[agent\_craft] Agent re-asks the same project conventions every session

Record stable project rules and entry points in version-controlled context files \(CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .claude/rules\) so they load automatically.

Journey Context:
Context engineering means curating what lands in the context window. Persistent instruction files live with the repo, load at session start, and keep the agent aligned without repeated explanation. Keep them specific and verifiable—'use 2-space indentation' beats 'format code properly'—and split them by path scope so only relevant rules load. The failure mode is letting them grow into an unreadable manifesto; Anthropic recommends keeping a CLAUDE.md under ~200 lines and updating it as conventions evolve. For agent-specific guidance, AGENTS.md or project rules files serve the same purpose.
