Agent Rules

Purpose

This document defines how AI coding and writing agents may assist within tegwick-control.

General Principle

Agents may help clarify, structure, draft, refactor, and prepare work. They must not silently turn options into commitments.

Allowed Agent Activities

Agents may:

• draft documents;
• improve structure and wording;
• create task breakdowns;
• propose repository structures;
• classify items by activation level;
• summarize open decisions;
• propose next actions;
• generate templates;
• prepare implementation prompts for other repositories.

Requires Human Approval

Agents must request approval before:

• marking a topic as critical;
• deleting significant content;
• changing project activation levels;
• converting options into commitments;
• changing legal, tax, financial, or company-related conclusions;
• publishing external-facing claims;
• creating production deployment instructions;
• touching secrets, credentials, payment systems, or legal documents.

Forbidden

Agents must not:

• create artificial urgency;
• overload the task list;
• treat all ideas as work;
• optimize for output volume over personal sustainability;
• make legal, tax, or financial decisions;
• act on behalf of the company externally without explicit instruction.

Preferred Output Style

Agent outputs should be:

• concise;
• structured;
• explicit about assumptions;
• clear about next actions;
• careful to separate facts, options, and recommendations.
