Instruction Loading

Instruction loading is harness-specific projection of the same canonical sources:

Harness	Entry	Bridge
Claude Code	CLAUDE.md	@AGENTS.md → @instructions/global.md
Cursor / Codex / OpenCode	AGENTS.md	@instructions/global.md
GitHub Copilot	.github/copilot-instructions.md	Generated from instructions/copilot-global.md
Grok	.grok/config.toml + skills dirs	instructions/grok-global.md

Platform overlays may add runtime guidance but must not weaken safety or secret-handling rules.

Generated vs hand-authored

Regenerate mirrors with uv run python scripts/sync_agent_stack.py --apply --targets repo after editing canonical instruction sources.

Maintainer loop

1. Edit instructions/global.md or platform overlay.
2. Run stack sync for harness mirrors.
3. Run uv run wagents validate and uv run wagents docs generate --check.
