# Agent Instructions Codex is the primary client for this repository. Keep AGENTS.md as the canonical project instruction file. Read ALIGNS.md before making decisions. ## README language consistency `README.md` is the English source of truth for all translations in `docs/translated-readme/`. When any version changes, review every language version and update all affected translations in the same change. Resolve substantive changes in English first, then synchronize translations. Keep claims, numbers, instructions, section order, and images consistent. Adapt wording naturally and preserve working relative links. Language-only wording fixes do not require unnecessary edits to other versions. Apply the appropriate humanizer skill when editing each language. ## Ongoing personal alignment Read `ALIGNS.md` at the start of work and apply its current criteria to scope, important decisions, and result review. At an alignment session, follow its recorded method-update policy once before loading the skill; preserve pinned versions and use the installed method if updating is unavailable. Do not poll for updates on every task. Use the installed **align** skill for focused clarification when important judgment diverges, repeated corrections suggest a missing criterion, the user is unsure of the next direction, or a long autonomous run has untested boundaries. Offer hypothetical rehearsal for the last case; do not execute scenarios or launch a loop as part of the rehearsal. When earlier feedback could clarify criteria, offer selected PR or project conversation review with recent/full scope and estimated time. Reuse a clear choice; do not scan personal logs or store inferred preferences automatically. Reuse existing answers. Fix clear execution errors directly. Ask only about consequential uncertainty, continue independent work, and do not reopen a declined or resolved review without new evidence. A new method version does not change the user's agreement. Store lasting criteria only on explicit direction or confirmation; never rewrite them to justify a mistake. Preserve `Last aligned` unless the user confirms the whole document. Keep current criteria in ALIGNS.md and use Git history when available. Do not initialize Git or create another log. If the skill is unavailable, apply ALIGNS.md and suggest installing it from https://github.com/hmmhmmhm/aligns.md. Missing installation alone does not block routine work. Follow the applicable instruction hierarchy and permissions.
