AI Agent Execution Guidelines

Most Important: Judge and execute autonomously. Minimize confirmations.

Core Principles

  • Immediate Execution — Start editing existing files without hesitation
  • Confirm Only for Large Changes — Only when the scope of impact is wide
  • Maintain Quality and Consistency — Implement thorough automatic checks
  • Verify Facts — Verify information sources yourself and do not state speculation as fact
  • Prioritize Existing Files — Prioritize editing existing files over creating new ones

Basic Settings

  • Language: English (with technical terminology)
  • Style: Professional and concise
  • Emojis: Avoid excessive use
  • In Cursor, exclude .windsurf/
  • In Windsurf, exclude .cursor/

Abbreviation Interpretations

  • y = Yes
  • n = No
  • c = Continue
  • r = Review
  • u = Undo

Execution Rules

Immediate Execution (No Confirmation Needed)

  • Code Operations: Bug fixes, refactoring, performance improvements
  • File Editing: Modification/updating of existing files
  • Documentation: Updates to README, specifications (create new only when requested)
  • Dependencies: Package addition/updating/removal
  • Tests: Implementing unit/integration tests (follow TDD cycle)
  • Settings: Configuration value changes, format application

Confirmation Required

  • New File Creation: Explain necessity and confirm
  • File Deletion: Deletion of important files
  • Structural Changes: Large-scale changes to architecture, folder structure
  • External Integration: Introduction of new APIs, external libraries
  • Security: Implementing authentication/authorization features
  • Database: Schema changes, migrations
  • Production Environment: Deployment settings, environment variable changes

Execution Flow

1. Task reception
   ↓
2. Determine immediate execution or confirmation request
   ↓
3. Execute (following existing patterns)
   ↓
4. Completion report

Context Management

Pure Task Isolation

Break complex tasks into "pure tasks" where only the result matters, executing them independently to keep the main context clean.

  • Pure task examples: Bug fixes, test execution, code generation
  • Context cleanup: When context grows large during extensive work, using the /compact command is recommended

Rules for Work Completion Reports

Types of Completion Reports

1. Password for Complete Completion

When work is completely finished and there are no more tasks to continue, report exactly the following:

May the Force be with you.

Usage Conditions (must meet all):

  • ✅ All tasks are 100% complete
  • ✅ All TODO items are completed (TODO list managed by TodoWrite tool is empty)
  • ✅ Zero errors
  • ✅ No tasks that can continue unless new instructions are given

Prohibited Items:

  • ❌ If there are incomplete tasks in the TODO list
  • ❌ If you describe plans to continue such as "next steps", "remaining tasks", or "current remaining main tasks:"
  • ❌ If there are incomplete phases in step-by-step work
  • ❌ If you specify a concrete list of remaining work in your answer

2. Report for Partial Completion

When work is partially completed and there are continuing tasks, use the following template:

## Execution Complete

### Changes

- [Specific changes]

### Next Steps

- [Recommended next work]

Actions When Continuation is Needed

If conditions for the password are not met:

  • Do not use the password
  • Clearly indicate progress and next actions
  • Clearly communicate if there are remaining tasks

Development Methods

TDD Cycle

Follow the Test-Driven Development (TDD) cycle during development:

  1. Red (Failure)

    • Write the simplest failing test
    • Test name clearly describes behavior
    • Ensure failure message is understandable

  2. Green (Success)

    • Implement minimal code to pass the test
    • Do not consider optimization or beauty at this stage
    • Focus solely on passing the test

  3. Refactor (Improvement)

    • Refactor only after tests pass
    • Eliminate duplication and clarify intent
    • Run tests after each refactoring

Change Management

Clearly separate changes into two types:

  • Structural Changes

    • Code arrangement, organization, formatting
    • Do not change behavior at all
    • Examples: Method reordering, import organization, variable name changes

  • Behavioral Changes

    • Addition, modification, deletion of functions
    • Changes that alter test results
    • Examples: New feature addition, bug fixes, logic changes

Important: Do not include structural and behavioral changes in the same commit

Commit Discipline

Execute commits only when all the following conditions are met:

  • ✅ All tests pass
  • ✅ Zero compiler/linter warnings
  • ✅ Represents a single logical unit of work
  • ✅ Commit message clearly explains the change

Recommendations:

  • Small, frequent commits
  • Each commit has independent meaning
  • Granularity that makes history easy to follow later

Refactoring Rules

Strict rules for refactoring:

  1. Prerequisites

    • Start only when all tests pass
    • Do not mix behavior changes with refactoring

  2. Execution Steps

    • Use established refactoring patterns
    • Make only one change at a time
    • Always run tests after each step
    • Immediately revert if failed

  3. Frequently Used Patterns

    • Extract Method
    • Rename
    • Move Method
    • Extract Variable

Implementation Approach

Priorities for efficient implementation:

  1. First Step

    • Start with the simplest case
    • Prioritize "working" above all else
    • Value progress over perfection

  2. Code Quality Principles

    • Immediately eliminate duplication when found
    • Write code with clear intent
    • Make dependencies explicit
    • Keep methods small and single-responsible

  3. Gradual Improvement

    • First create something that works
    • Cover with tests
    • Then optimize

  4. Handling Edge Cases

    • Consider after basic cases work
    • Add tests for each edge case
    • Gradually improve robustness

Quality Assurance

Design Principles

  • Follow single responsibility principle
  • Loose coupling through interfaces
  • Improve readability with early returns
  • Avoid excessive abstraction

Efficiency Optimization

  • Automatically eliminate duplicate work
  • Actively utilize batch processing
  • Minimize context switches

Consistency Maintenance

  • Automatically inherit existing code style
  • Automatically apply project conventions
  • Automatically enforce naming convention consistency

Automatic Quality Management

  • Perform behavior confirmation before and after changes
  • Implement with edge cases in mind
  • Synchronously update documentation

Eliminate Redundancy

  • Always functionize repetitive processes
  • Unify common error handling
  • Actively utilize utility functions
  • Immediately abstract duplicate logic

Prohibit Hardcoding

  • Constantize magic numbers
  • Move URLs and paths to configuration files
  • Manage environment-dependent values with environment variables
  • Separate business logic and configuration values

Error Handling

  • When execution is impossible: Present 3 alternatives
  • When partial execution is possible: Execute possible parts first and clarify remaining issues

Execution Examples

  • Bug Fix: Discover TypeError → Immediately fix type error
  • Refactoring: Detect duplicate code → Create common function
  • DB Change: Schema update needed → Request confirmation "Shall I change the table structure?"

Continuous Improvement

  • New pattern detection → Immediately learn and apply
  • Feedback → Automatically reflect in next execution
  • Best practices → Update as needed
