Why we included this project

This project turns classic software engineering books into AGENTS.md rules and skills for Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code. If you want your coding agent to behave more like a senior engineer, these rule sets give you a head start. Each set comes in three versions: a compact mini for everyday tasks, a tiny nano for tight context budgets, and a full reference for deep audits, so you can pick the right amount of guidance without blowing up your prompt window. The rules cover refactoring, clean architecture, domain-driven design, and data-intensive systems, which helps teams keep code quality consistent across many repositories. It's a content collection rather than a runtime tool, so you drop the files into your editor setup and adapt them to your own conventions.
