Source review
License
Confirm MIT terms fit your project and retain notices when required.
Install behavior
Read commands before running them and start with a low-risk local workspace.
Verification
Check outputs, safety notes, and policy fit before exposing the resource to agent workflows.
Why use it
Use it when a project needs ready-made coding-agent rulebooks for project conventions and the team wants inspectable provenance before adoption.
When to use
- You need ready-made coding-agent rulebooks for project conventions.
- The upstream README and license fit the target project.
- You can test the integration on non-production data first.
When not to use
- The rule conflicts with project instructions.
- The repository cannot show how the rule is maintained.
