Summary

  • Route guidance, state, or evidence already worth keeping to one canonical owner and the narrowest reliable delivery boundary.
  • TRIGGER when: user asks 'where should this go', 'which file/rule/home does this belong in', 'is this in the right place', or 'should this be a pointer'; placing or re-homing kept material.

Place Fact

Primitive: PLACE — which durable owner and delivery boundary should hold this material?

Steps

  1. Name the delivery trigger — the moment a future agent must already hold the material. A topic, folder, or existing file does not choose the home; the trigger does.
  2. Map the trigger to the narrowest reliable home:
Trigger Home Admit only when
Any repository task Root AGENTS.md The instruction or route is repository-wide and non-derivable.
Reading or editing one mechanism Comment or docstring beside it The mechanism needs a constraint, assumption, or tempting-wrong-path warning.
Reading, editing, or creating files in one cohesive subtree Nearest ancestor AGENTS.md A real module boundary has one rule for every current and future file below it.
Working with files selected by path patterns rather than directory hierarchy Claude path rule in .claude/rules/ Quoted paths: globs scope the instruction to matching files.
Starting a named product, design, operations, or decision task Maintained task document Cross-cutting context has an inbound route and a workflow that keeps it current.
Running a repeatable repository-local procedure Named workflow document The procedure remains multi-step and repository-specific.
Running a repeatable cross-repository or external-platform procedure Skill The procedure has a reliable trigger; a repository-internal fact alone is not a skill.
Tracking queued or in-progress work Active-state document A workflow reads, updates, and retires it.
Preserving a scoped question, evidence, provisional findings, or open decisions Dated investigation outside ordinary auto-load Closure promotes current conclusions, routes unfinished work to active state, and retains only unique evidence.
  1. Choose the delivery boundary before considering file reuse:

- Create. Create an artifact when its trigger and scope form a distinct delivery boundary. - Reuse. Reuse an artifact only when its trigger, scope, audience, upkeep, and retirement path already match. - Split. Split an artifact when it mixes material with different triggers or scopes. - Judge bloat. Look for duplicated ownership, mixed scopes, broken routes, and unnecessary eager loading; file count alone is not bloat.

  1. Confirm the full placement contract:

- Owner and scope. Name one canonical owner and the exact paths, subtree, task, or procedure it governs. - Delivery. Keep one write path; use a relative symlink, native import, or generated view for another loader. Fall back to a copy only when derivation cannot work, and guard equality automatically. - Upkeep. Name what keeps the material current: editing it beside its source, a workflow, or an executable guard. - Retirement. Name the event that removes or re-homes the material.

  1. Prove the delivery before committing the placement:

- Prefer executable guards. Keep prose only for a decision, rationale, or required companion action that detection alone cannot convey. - Verify every agent. Confirm every supported agent discovers the material at its trigger and, when applicable, after compaction. - Cover future files. A Claude path rule may not fire on a new-file write; put a convention governing future files in the nearest AGENTS.md. - Store Claude path rules once. Keep each file-matching rule in .claude/rules/, with quoted paths: globs. - Point only when needed. Point from AGENTS.md only to a must-read target that will not already auto-load. - Point to Claude path rules only for gaps. Use one only for a cross-layer obligation or new-file gap; otherwise let the rule fire or widen its paths. - Skip redundant routing. Never point one AGENTS.md to another that already auto-loads, and never maintain a folder-to-owner map.
