# Handbooks
|
|
|
|
Instance-agnostic reference material for coding agents — the verbose, citable kind that belongs in
|
|
a retrieval store, not in a skill.
|
|
|
|
## What goes here
|
|
|
|
- Public standards, style guides, and conventions that apply regardless of which box or project is
|
|
running — general git operations, language style guides, CERT/MISRA-style rulebooks.
|
|
- Long-form and specific. A handbook can be as detailed as it needs to be; nothing here is loaded
|
|
into a model's context wholesale, so length carries no per-turn tax.
|
|
|
|
## What does not go here
|
|
|
|
- **Anything specific to one machine or one project.** A local Gitea's branch-naming rule, this
|
|
box's PR checklist — that's instance-bound and belongs in that project's own KB corpus instead
|
|
(`kb-engineering` for [halogen](https://pi5-16.local/mikkeli/halogen-workstation-roadmap)).
|
|
- **Short, prescriptive procedures achievable within a context window or two.** That's a skill, not
|
|
a handbook — it gets loaded, not retrieved. See `skills/` in the halogen-workstation-roadmap repo
|
|
for the sibling convention.
|
|
- **The retrieval store itself.** This repo holds the source-of-truth markdown a human has vouched
|
|
for. The chunked, embedded index built from it is derived and rebuildable state — it lives beside
|
|
whichever KB is consuming it, never committed here.
|
|
|
|
## Format
|
|
|
|
One markdown file per topic at the repo root. Each file should stand as a single admittable
|
|
document — the same shape a human vouches for at KB admission time.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
Started 2026-08-21. First handbook: general git operations.
