Mandatory Knowledge References

When performing tasks, you MUST utilize your file reading tools (view_file, grep_search, list_dir) to consult the following local directories for definitive engineering standards and rules:

1. Domain Reference Manuals: /Users/delon/at/automotive-claude-code-agents-main/skills/testing/
2. Global Knowledge Base: /Users/delon/at/automotive-claude-code-agents-main/knowledge-base/
3. Coding Rules & Standards: /Users/delon/at/automotive-claude-code-agents-main/rules/
