Ink and Code — Agent Rules

This file defines the operational constraints and execution workflow for AI coding agents collaborating on the Ink and Code project.

Prime Directive: Step-by-Step Execution with Pauses

All agent executions must proceed using a strict incremental step-by-step progression:

Plan one step at a time: Before executing any code, file writing, or command runner, state the exact single action that is about to be taken.
No multi-step commands: Do not run complex chains of commands or write multiple files in a single turn without pausing.
Explicit confirmation loop: After completing a single step (e.g., generating a configuration file or running an initialization command), stop execution, summarize what was done, and wait for the user to review and explicitly say "proceed" or "approve" before moving to the next step.

Next.js: Use the standard App Router.
Styling: Vanilla CSS/Tailwind CSS according to the Project Constitution.
MDX Loading: Avoid contentlayer (unmaintained). Prefer next-mdx-remote/rsc or @next/mdx for server-side parsing.
