# Working on TensorFold

TensorFold uses Agent Traffic Control to coordinate contributors and coding agents.
Before editing, read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) and follow the [ATC contributor instructions](docs/atc/SKILL.md).
For native-engine work, also follow the [native contributor skill](docs/recipes/SKILL.md); read any additional AGENTS.md in the folders you change.

Inspect `atc board --json` and check the issue before starting work.
Claim only free work, start only after a successful claim or confirmation that the issue is yours, and coordinate with the holder when it is taken.
Use ATC 0.7.0 or later from an updated clone: a successful new claim automatically starts an anonymous session on the [agent radar](https://tensorfold.dev/atc).
Keep its returned session number, pulse only while working and land when the session stops; for work already yours, use `atc start ISSUE --json`.
Follow the [README workflow](README.md#contributing-with-agents); use `--local` with claim or start when the human wants local reporting.
Show a GitHub name with `--github-name` only when the human opts in.

Use `atc who <file> --json` to inspect overlapping edits and `atc overlap --json` before opening a pull request.
Resolve reported conflicts and link the issue in the pull request description so other contributors can see the work in progress.
Before opening or updating a pull request, run the [pull request skill](docs/pr/SKILL.md) pre-flight.
