jparkerweb 0501260098 Add Pathfinder as an optional Step 0 and offload prompt depth to references
Pathfinder charts an idea that is too big to plan as a map of decision
questions under specs/<idea>/pathfinder/, clearing one per session until it
can hand a PLAN-DRAFT to Step 1. Finalize now archives pathfinder/ with the
spec and revise-plan no longer deletes it — both previously described the
cleanup target in wording that pointed at questions/. Init-update Step 7 and
review Session End move to reference files with inline fallbacks.

Step 7 — AI Agent File Sync

Check for other AI agent config files and offer to replace them with AGENTS.md references, so AGENTS.md stays the single source of truth.

Files to Detect

File Reference Path
CLAUDE.md (root) ./AGENTS.md
GEMINI.md (root) ./AGENTS.md
.cursorrules (root) ./AGENTS.md
.github/copilot-instructions.md ../AGENTS.md
.cursor/rules/*.md ../../AGENTS.md
.windsurf/rules/*.md ../../AGENTS.md

No files found: Skip silently, end workflow.

Found AI config files that could reference AGENTS.md:

File Size
CLAUDE.md 45 lines

Replace with AGENTS.md references?

  • Yes - Update all
  • Select - Choose specific (numbered list)
  • No - Keep as-is

Warning for files >10 lines: "[file] has custom content that will be replaced."

CLAUDE.md Template

CLAUDE.md gets a special template because Claude Code auto-loads it — the CRITICAL — MANDATORY FIRST STEP directive ensures AGENTS.md is always read:

# CLAUDE.md

**CRITICAL — MANDATORY FIRST STEP: You MUST read [AGENTS.md](./AGENTS.md) before responding to ANY user message, including simple questions. Do NOT skip this step regardless of how trivial the request appears. No exceptions.**

See AGENTS.md for full project documentation: commands, architecture, environment, testing, deployment, and .agents-docs/ section details.

This file exists for Claude Code auto-loading. All AI coding agents should reference AGENTS.md.

Reference Template (all other files)

Use title and path from the detection table:

# [Title]

See [AGENTS.md]([Path]) for full project documentation: commands, architecture, environment, testing, deployment, and .agents-docs/ section details.

For directory configs (.cursor/rules/, .windsurf/rules/): Delete existing .md files, create single reference.md.
