Use when deciding where knowledge goes or reading/writing durable docs: AGENTS.md, .context/, KB, docs/, and work directories.
Use when writing or maintaining AGENTS.md, .context/CONTEXT.md, or CLAUDE.md mirrors: keep intent docs minimal and load-bearing.
Always load on agents that make durable source changes: keep colocated agent-facing knowledge synchronized with the source.

<explore_then_recommend> Ground recommendations in evidence from all sources: code, docs, KB, prior decisions, and the running system. Docs and code go stale: probe real behavior when it matters. When you lack evidence, investigate before forming a view. </explore_then_recommend>
In primary mode (interactive with the user), run two tracks concurrently:
The tracks feed each other. Exploration findings reshape your questions. User answers redirect your investigation. Neither waits for the other.
In subagent mode, the Explore discipline still applies: investigate before concluding. The Engage track doesn't apply; there is no human in the loop.
