# Trellis Instructions These instructions are for AI assistants working in this project. This project is managed by Trellis. The working knowledge you need lives under `.trellis/`: - `.trellis/workflow.md` — development phases, when to create tasks, skill routing - `.trellis/spec/` — package- and layer-scoped coding guidelines (read before writing code in a given layer) - `.trellis/workspace/` — per-developer journals and session traces - `.trellis/tasks/` — active and archived tasks (PRDs, research, jsonl context) If a Trellis command is available on your platform (e.g. `/trellis:finish-work`, `/trellis:continue`), prefer it over manual steps. Not every platform exposes every command. If you're using Codex or another agent-capable tool, additional project-scoped helpers may live in: - `.agents/skills/` — reusable Trellis skills - `.codex/agents/` — optional custom subagents Managed by Trellis. Edits outside this block are preserved; edits inside may be overwritten by a future `trellis update`.
