When To Use This Example​

Use this page as a concrete starting point when the file path and convention type match your project. Treat the content as a reference shape, not as a mandatory template.

How To Adapt It​

  • Keep fields that describe real project behavior.
  • Remove placeholders that do not apply to your repository.
  • Prefer short, explicit instructions over broad policy language.
  • Link the adapted file back to the convention it supports when possible.

# Project Rules

- Follow the instructions in `AGENTS.md` before making code changes.
- Keep React components focused on rendering and delegate data fetching to services or hooks.
- Prefer existing project helpers over introducing new dependencies.
- Update or add tests when behavior changes.
- Do not edit generated files unless the task explicitly asks for regeneration.
