# Agent Instructions
See [AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md](AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md) for full instructions.
This file exists for compatibility with tools that look for AGENTS.md.
## Key Sections
- **Issue Tracking** - How to use bd for work management
- **Development Guidelines** - Code standards and testing
- **Visual Design System** - Status icons, colors, and semantic styling for CLI output
## Visual Design Anti-Patterns
**NEVER use emoji-style icons** (🔴🟠🟡🔵⚪) in CLI output. They cause cognitive overload.
**ALWAYS use small Unicode symbols** with semantic colors:
- Status: `○ ◐ ● ✓ ❄`
- Priority: `● P0` (filled circle with color)
See [AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md](AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md) for full development guidelines.
## Agent Warning: Interactive Commands
**DO NOT use `bd edit`** - it opens an interactive editor ($EDITOR) which AI agents cannot use.
Use `bd update` with flags instead:
```bash
bd update <id> --description "new description"
bd update <id> --title "new title"
bd update <id> --design "design notes"
bd update <id> --notes "additional notes"
bd update <id> --acceptance "acceptance criteria"
# Use stdin for descriptions with special characters (backticks, !, nested quotes)
echo 'Description with `backticks` and "quotes"' | bd create "Title" --description=-
echo 'Updated text' | bd update <id> --description=-
```
## Testing Commands (No Ambiguity)
- Default local test command: `make test` (or `./scripts/test.sh`).
- Full CGO-enabled suite: `make test-full-cgo` (or `./scripts/test-cgo.sh ./...`).
- On macOS, do **not** run raw `CGO_ENABLED=1 go test ./...` unless ICU flags are set; use the script/Make target above.
- If you need package- or test-scoped CGO runs:
```bash
./scripts/test-cgo.sh ./cmd/bd/...
./scripts/test-cgo.sh -run '^TestName$' ./cmd/bd/...
```
## Non-Interactive Shell Commands
**ALWAYS use non-interactive flags** with file operations to avoid hanging on confirmation prompts.
Shell commands like `cp`, `mv`, and `rm` may be aliased to include `-i` (interactive) mode on some systems, causing the agent to hang indefinitely waiting for y/n input.
**Use these forms instead:**
```bash
# Force overwrite without prompting
cp -f source dest # NOT: cp source dest
mv -f source dest # NOT: mv source dest
rm -f file # NOT: rm file
# For recursive operations
rm -rf directory # NOT: rm -r directory
cp -rf source dest # NOT: cp -r source dest
```
**Other commands that may prompt:**
- `scp` - use `-o BatchMode=yes` for non-interactive
- `ssh` - use `-o BatchMode=yes` to fail instead of prompting
- `apt-get` - use `-y` flag
- `brew` - use `HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1` env var
## Landing the Plane (Session Completion)
**When ending a work session**, you MUST complete ALL steps below. Work is NOT complete until `git push` succeeds.
**MANDATORY WORKFLOW:**
1. **File issues for remaining work** - Create issues for anything that needs follow-up
2. **Run quality gates** (if code changed) - Tests, linters, builds
3. **Update issue status** - Close finished work, update in-progress items
4. **PUSH TO REMOTE** - This is MANDATORY:
```bash
git pull --rebase
git push
git status # MUST show "up to date with origin"
```
5. **Clean up** - Clear stashes, prune remote branches
6. **Verify** - All changes committed AND pushed
7. **Hand off** - Provide context for next session
**CRITICAL RULES:**
- Work is NOT complete until `git push` succeeds
- NEVER stop before pushing - that leaves work stranded locally
- NEVER say "ready to push when you are" - YOU must push
- If push fails, resolve and retry until it succeeds
