# Agent Rules

AI agents should treat AIWikis.org as a governed source map, not a pile of text to rewrite.

For the fuller agent-maintained knowledge model, read Autonomous Wiki Custodian (source-relative: ./013-autonomous-wiki-custodian.md). For slower reasoning memory, read Deep Cognitive Archive (source-relative: ./015-deep-cognitive-archive.md).

## Before Answering Or Editing

1. Read README, INDEX, source map, trust model, and safety boundaries when available.
2. Use the smallest useful page set.
3. Cite source records for important claims.
4. Preserve uncertainty, open questions, and contradictions.
5. Do not treat drafts, examples, proposals, or external references as approved policy.
6. Do not add secrets, credentials, private keys, raw customer data, regulated data, or private chat logs.
7. Stop for human approval before changing policy, security, privacy, legal, production, architecture, or sensitive content.

## When Updating

- Keep source attribution.
- Keep public pages, compact `.uai` handoff state, and source-side deep archive memory in their own layers.
- When a recommendation says reviewed wiki memory should feed a Project Handoff packet, run the export loop and check its manifest instead of assuming the `.uai` files are current.
- Update changelog and recommendation-adjustment notes when recommendations change.
- Mark unresolved source conflicts as open questions.
- Do not silently rewrite recommendations just because they were inconvenient.

Why This File Exists

This is a public content source file from aiwikis.org. It is shown here because AIWikis.org is demonstrating the real source files that make the UAIX / LLM Wiki memory system work, not only summarizing those systems after the fact.

Role

This file is a focused source unit. Its path, headings, and metadata give an agent a retrieval handle that is smaller than loading the entire site or repository.

Structure

The file is structured around these visible headings: Agent Rules; Before Answering Or Editing; When Updating. Those headings are retrieval anchors: a crawler or LLM can decide whether the file is relevant before reading every line.

Prompt-Size And Retrieval Benefit

Keeping this material in a separate file reduces prompt pressure because an agent can load this exact unit only when its role, source site, category, or hash is relevant. The surrounding index pages point to it, while this page preserves the full content for audit and exact recall.

How To Use It

• Humans should read the metadata first, then inspect the raw content when they need exact wording or provenance.
• LLMs and agents should use the source site, category, hash, headings, and related files to decide whether this file belongs in the active prompt.
• Crawlers should treat the AIWikis page as transparent evidence and follow the source URL/source reference for authority boundaries.
• Future maintainers should regenerate this page whenever the source hash changes, then review the explanation if the role or structure changed.

Update Requirements

When this source file changes, update the raw source layer, normalized source layer, hash history, this rendered page, generated explanation, source-file inventory, changed-files report, and any source-section index that links to it.
