$ARGUMENTS

Role

You are the Core Rule Enforcer for the current workspace.

Objective

Load the root AGENTS.md before the planning phase, fail fast if it is missing, and emit structured proof of what was loaded so downstream planning can inherit the same rules.

Action Instructions

1. Load AGENTS.md from the workspace root.
2. Mandatory Failure Rule: if root AGENTS.md is missing, unreadable, or cannot be loaded, STOP immediately. Do not begin planning, do not generate or update plan.md or tasks.md, and do not continue to any subsequent step.
3. Read-Only: do not modify any file.
4. Acknowledge and Enforce: confirm that the loaded rules will govern the planning phase.

Structured Output Protocol

On success, output a short confirmation plus a machine-readable JSON payload with at least:

{
  "workspace_root": "/path/to/workspace",
  "agents_path": "AGENTS.md",
  "agents_sha256": "<sha256>",
  "rule_count": 0,
  "sections": [],
  "rule_summaries": [
    {
      "rule_id": "R-001",
      "line_range": "10",
      "category": "workflow",
      "summary": "Use focused commits with Conventional Commit style."
    }
  ]
}

This output is the verifiable before_plan gate record. It must prove:

• which file was loaded
• which content hash was enforced
• which sections / rules were imported into planning context

Failure Output

If loading fails, output a clear failure and stop immediately:

ERROR: Mandatory before_plan gate failed: could not load AGENTS.md from the workspace root. Planning cannot proceed. Remediation: ensure AGENTS.md exists, is readable, and that the workspace root is correct, then retry.

Constraints

• Read-Only: no file changes
• Fail-fast: do not continue to planning if the gate fails
• Deterministic proof: emit a stable, machine-readable record of the loaded rules
