# Instructions for Labyricorn publishing content
These instructions apply to the entire `.labyricorn/` directory. More specific
instructions in `project/AGENTS.md` and `devlog/AGENTS.md` also apply within
those directories.
## Purpose and ownership
- This directory is the repository-owned source for Thinkloom's exhibition page
and development log on Labyricorn.
- The Thinkloom repository is authoritative for this content. The Labyricorn
site imports it as read-only content.
- Read `.labyricorn/README.md` and the nearest scoped `AGENTS.md` before editing
a publishing record.
- Keep publishing changes focused. Do not alter application code merely to
support an exhibition or devlog edit unless the user separately requests it.
## Authorization and communication
- When the user says **discussion only**, do not edit files, run mutating
commands, commit, push, request synchronization, or change external systems.
- An implementation request authorizes only its clearly stated scope. Ask
before changing project identity, content structure, schema, publication
status, or synchronization behavior.
- Do not commit or push unless the user explicitly requests it.
- Before pushing, explain that the pushed publishing content may be imported
into the public Labyricorn site.
- Preserve unrelated and uncommitted work. Never discard changes to obtain a
clean worktree.
## Content contract
- Use native Lektor records named `contents.lr`.
- Preserve `schema_version: 1` until a coordinated schema migration is approved
in both the project and Labyricorn site repositories.
- Do not add templates, models, plugins, workflows, executable files, generated
builds, or application state below `.labyricorn/`.
- Keep attachments inside the record subtree that owns them.
- Use UTF-8 text, `YYYY-MM-DD` dates, and stable lowercase hyphenated slugs.
- Do not use raw HTML, scripts, embedded credentials, or active third-party
content in Markdown fields.
- Treat published URLs as durable. Ask before renaming or removing a published
record; redirects or archival behavior may be required first.
## Security and synchronization
- Never store or print passwords, API tokens, refresh credentials, private keys,
`.netrc` contents, or other secrets in this directory.
- Never place a refresh credential in a URL, query string, tracked script, or
command example.
- Do not claim that content is public merely because a push succeeded. Report
push status and synchronization/publication status separately.
- When an authenticated refresh mechanism is implemented and documented, use
only its approved wrapper command and request at most one refresh for a pushed
commit. Until then, do not invent or bypass a trigger mechanism.
## Validation and handoff
- Parse every changed `contents.lr` file with Lektor's native record parser.
- Confirm required fields are present and referenced source commits exist.
- Run `git diff --check` and review the exact diff before committing.
- At handoff, report changed publishing records, validation performed, commit
and push status, and synchronization status if known.

# Instructions for the Thinkloom development log
These instructions supplement `.labyricorn/AGENTS.md` and apply to the
`devlog/` directory.
## Index and entry structure
- Keep the devlog index at `devlog/contents.lr` using `_model: devlog`.
- Store each published entry at `devlog/<stable-slug>/contents.lr` using
`_model: devlog-entry`.
- Use a lowercase hyphenated directory name that describes the milestone. The
directory name becomes part of the public URL and must remain stable.
- Every entry must include `schema_version`, `title`, `date`, `author`,
`summary`, `tags`, `source_commit`, and `body`.
- Set `source_commit` to the full 40-character commit ID most directly
associated with the entry. Confirm that it resolves in this repository.
- Use the commit's actual calendar date for retrospective entries. Do not use
the date on which the devlog prose was written.
## Editorial guidance
- Base retrospective entries on verifiable repository history, existing project
documents, and implemented behavior.
- Do not invent motivations, conversations, results, release status, user
feedback, or completion claims.
- A devlog should explain the milestone, why it mattered, and what changed. It
should not merely expand a commit message or enumerate every changed file.
- Distinguish a design or schema contract from a completed runtime
implementation.
- Keep one main milestone per entry. Link to the relevant canonical commit using
the Gitea HTTPS URL.
- Write summaries that work in chronological listings without requiring the
reader to open the entry.
- Use focused tags consistently; avoid creating capitalization or spelling
variants of an existing tag without a reason.
## Chronology and lifecycle
- The Labyricorn site orders entries by `date` and provides links back to the
project and to older/newer entries. Do not add manual next/previous links.
- Multiple entries may share a date; ordering ties should be resolved by the
importer from source history rather than invented timestamps in prose.
- Do not rewrite old entries merely because the implementation later changed.
Add a new entry or a clearly labelled correction when historical context is
needed.
- Do not delete or rename a published entry without explicit approval and a
redirect or archival decision for its existing URL.
## Review requirements
- Verify the entry date and `source_commit` against `git log`.
- Check that the source-commit link targets the same full commit ID.
- Check prose against the referenced commit and current documentation.
- Parse the record with Lektor and run `git diff --check` before committing.

# Instructions for the Thinkloom exhibition record
These instructions supplement `.labyricorn/AGENTS.md` and apply to the
`project/` directory.
## Record structure
- Maintain exactly one project record at `project/contents.lr` using
`_model: project`.
- Keep `project_id: thinkloom` stable. It is the durable identity used by the
Labyricorn importer and public URL.
- Keep the repository URL pointed at the canonical Thinkloom source repository.
Ask before changing the repository, default branch, project status, author,
or start date.
- Store project-owned visual attachments in this directory and reference them
by filename from `contents.lr`.
- Use descriptive, web-appropriate alternative text whenever the content schema
introduces images that require it.
## Editorial guidance
- Write the exhibition page as a concise project narrative, not as a copy of
`README.md` and not as release documentation.
- Verify technical and status claims against the current repository before
editing them.
- Distinguish completed work, formal design work, experimental work, and future
work. Do not imply implementation or conformance that the repository does not
support.
- Preserve Thinkloom's established product boundaries: native, local-first,
user-controlled, preview-first model assistance, and no hosted browser
companion unless the project itself explicitly changes those boundaries.
- Do not manually add latest-commit, README, license, language, release, issue,
or other repository-derived metadata to the body. The Labyricorn importer and
repository information card own those values.
- Keep the summary suitable for project listings and social previews. Keep the
body useful to visitors who want to understand the project rather than build
it.
## Review requirements
- Check that `logo` and other attachment references resolve within `project/`.
- Check that Markdown links are intentional and use HTTPS.
- Re-read the rendered prose for unsupported claims before committing.
