# CORE Agent Instructions for Gemini

`AGENTS.md` is the canonical governance file for this repo. If this file
conflicts with `AGENTS.md`, follow `AGENTS.md`.

Gemini-specific startup: read `AGENTS.md`, read
`docs/specs/runtime_contracts.md`, inspect the working tree, then use the
smallest validation lane that proves the change.

Do not place architecture, invariants, memory rules, or alternate workflow
policy here. Update `AGENTS.md` instead.
