From f260d17d3b7f4b466a6e2718cdca57d15d5b448d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Yin Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 07:52:16 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] docs(agents): refine user-edit and test-double rules Generalize the revert rule to protect any content the user changed or removed, and require confirmation before touching it. Replace the mock ban with a scope rule: checks must not be faked or weakened, and test doubles may replace only what a check does not verify. Sync the matching eval scenario. --- agents/AGENTS.md | 6 ++++-- agents/evals/global-rules.md | 23 ++++++++++++----------- 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/agents/AGENTS.md b/agents/AGENTS.md index a04b1b86..96d232d9 100644 --- a/agents/AGENTS.md +++ b/agents/AGENTS.md @@ -72,8 +72,8 @@ When remote state matters, agents SHOULD fetch `origin` when available and use t appropriate to the task.
