Surface Durable Rules

After producing a plan, review the investigation findings for systemic patterns that should be codified as ongoing conventions or anti-patterns — guidance that applies beyond the specific task. Scope is coding conventions and anti-patterns only; project operating instructions (build/test/lint commands, gotchas) belong to agents-md.

1. If the investigation surfaced no durable lessons, skip entirely. Do not force it.
2. For each candidate rule, classify its scope:
   • Project-specific (a rule true only of this repo) → target the repo's own conventions dir or convention skills if it has one; otherwise its .agents/AGENTS.md via agents-md.
   • Cross-project (a universal rule) → target the global convention source.
3. Within the chosen target, update an existing file that covers the topic, or propose a new conventions file if none does.
4. Never edit a generated file. If the target carries a "generated" banner or a generator produces it, edit the source and regenerate — the artifact is not the source of truth.
5. Present the proposed rule(s) to the user for confirmation before writing.
6. Only write after the user confirms.
