Clarify Repo Turn Documentation Rules
Updated the repository instructions so Islandflow turn documents are clearly repo-local and styled through impeccable, without inheriting global non-repo computer-task styling.
Summary
The repo AGENTS.md now removes a stray non-repo location rule and explicitly states that impeccable is the styling and layout authority for Islandflow turn documents when available.
Changes Made
- Removed the confusing instruction to save non-repo documentation under
~/dev/docs/turns/. - Clarified that repository turn documents stay in
docs/turns/. - Updated the format rule to say
impeccablehandles both structure and styling. - Added an explicit guard against applying global non-repo computer-task house styling to this repository's turn documents.
- Clarified that the fallback standalone HTML path only applies when
impeccableis unavailable or blocked by an actual error.
Context
The global agent instructions now distinguish repository implementation documentation from non-repo computer-task documentation. This repo file needed a small cleanup so it would not reintroduce ambiguity about location or styling.
Important Implementation Details
This was a documentation-only change in AGENTS.md. It changes future agent behavior but does not alter runtime code, tests, deployment scripts, or application behavior.

Expected Impact for End-Users
Future Islandflow turns should produce documentation in the repo's docs/turns/ folder and let impeccable drive the visual treatment, making repo documentation less likely to inherit global computer-task styling.
Validation
- Reviewed the
AGENTS.mddiff after patching. - Ran
git diff --checkwith no whitespace errors. - No application test suite was run because this change only updates repository instructions.
Issues, Limitations, and Mitigations
This clarification depends on future agents reading both global and repo instructions. The new wording is intentionally direct about repo scope, location, and styling to reduce that risk.
