docs: trim agent instructions and bump quest to 93c9c2ef - #8539
Every agent session loads AGENTS.md, and every PR loads CONTRIBUTING.md. Both repeated rules that quest context and the quest guide already give each session, carried a release procedure needed only at a cut, and held three stale lines. The verify-* skills pointed at a /statechart skill that exists nowhere and repeated the same two paragraphs six times.
Approach
Remove what the shared rules at moq-dev/quest 93c9c2ef still state, move text instead of deleting it where it is repository-specific, and bump the quest pin so the shared rules this trim relies on are the ones the dev shell serves. Nothing is added except two files that hold moved text and one-line pointers to them.
Always-loaded bytes: AGENTS.md 4068 to 3641, CONTRIBUTING.md 13156 to 5332, REVIEW.md 8139 to 7762, .claude/rules/prompting.md 144 to 0.
Summary
Every removed line is quoted so it can be vetoed.
AGENTS.md
"Immediately disable a flaky test and plan a follow-up to investigate." Conflicts with the shared rule to fix a flaky test at its root cause.
"Propose alternatives when a name or shape feels awkward." Restates "Be adversarial ... argue for the best approach".
"Short names under a module namespace (encode::Config, not EncoderConfig), mirrored across Rust, JS, and the bindings." becomes "Mirror API names across Rust, JS, and the bindings." The short-names half is the shared Public API rule.
"(today moq-lite-06 and moq-lite-07)". Stale: lite-07 is still moq-lite-07-wip on main and on release (rs/moq-net/src/lite/version.rs).
"quest init refuses Claude Code's worktree hooks: drop them from .claude/settings.json for its run, then restore them." Stale: quest init reads and writes no hooks (quest src/core/init.ts), .claude/settings.json has had none since moq-dev/moq#7889, and quest init ran clean here.
The just check / just fix code block becomes "just check and just fix cover only what the branch changed." The rest mirrors the justfile.
"(see CONTRIBUTING.md)" on the release line becomes "(see RELEASE.md)", following the move below.
.claude/rules/prompting.md (deleted)
"Before editing this file, follow Prompting in quest context." quest context has no Prompting section; the shared rules already send instruction changes to quest guide prompting.
CONTRIBUTING.md
"AI commit attribution goes in a Co-Authored-By: trailer, not the commit body." The harness already does this.
"When pushing additional commits to an existing PR, update the title and description if needed." Shared PR rule.
"Never rebase or force-push a pushed branch; merge the base branch in instead." Shared rule, and "merge the base in" reads as a routine merge the shared rule forbids.
"Check that the PR is still open before pushing to its branch, since a push after merge recreates the deleted branch." Shared PR rule.
"Open a draft PR while working, without asking once the scope is settled." Shared PR rule.
"Keep it a draft only while its description lists a decision the maintainer still owns." Shared PR rule.
"Fix any merge conflicts and failing CI checks." Shared PR rule and /quest-iterate.
"Run just ci locally before every push;" in Landing gate. Second copy; "Run just ci before every push" stays in PRs.
"Only bench/build.slow.test.py leaves the gate: its paired Cargo builds took 211.91 s. The selector timing sweep took 3.56 s and collects performance samples; its correctness tests remain in the gate. All version, hakari, test-lint, and nightly helper tests remain in the gate, including their cheap static invariants." Measured history; the rule that slow fixtures go in *.slow.test.py stays.
"When the queue drops a PR for a failing build or a conflict, moq-dev/quest's queue watcher on the maintainer's host comments with the reason and the failing log's tail, runs a Codex fixer on it in the background, and re-enqueues the fixed head, or the unchanged head after a flaky failure, at the back of the queue. The fixer hands the PR back, with its diagnosis, when the fix needs a decision or stops making progress." becomes "A PR the queue drops for a failing build or a conflict gets a fixer, which hands the PR back, with its diagnosis, when the fix needs a decision or stops making progress." Host mechanics only; the quest status sentence stays.
Reviews: "Before marking a PR ready for review, and before each push to a ready PR, run /quest-review on the committed branch after the local checks pass. It uses quest review to have the other vendor's model review against the PR's base branch, with REVIEW.md read from that base." Shared rule and /quest-review.
Reviews: "The PR body's ## Review section records the reviewer harness, model and effort, reviewed head SHA, and each finding's disposition, or a skip and its reason when the author judges the change too trivial to review." /quest-review owns the record. The next sentence now opens "A ## Review record naming the head being merged counts as the required review ...".
Reviews: "following quest context's rules for untrusted heads and review exemptions" becomes "following quest context's rule for untrusted heads and /quest-merge's review exemptions". The exemptions live in /quest-merge.
Reviews: "Address online reviewers' findings already posted on the head when merging; never wait for or request an online review." Shared online-reviewer rule.
Reviews: "For each local or online finding: Refute findings you disagree with using evidence; reply to online findings on the PR. Fix findings you agree with, rerun checks, and review the new head locally before pushing. Update the summary if needed." Shared rule and /quest-review.
Follow-ups: "Record out-of-scope findings as follow-up quests with /quest-plan, not GitHub issues, which are for outside contributors." The guide adds a follow-up to the PR that found it; /quest-plan is for another repository's tree.
The Releases and Versions sections move verbatim to a new root RELEASE.md, leaving "Releases are cut by hand from release; see RELEASE.md. Bump versions only when asked." The # Releases heading stays, so #releases links still resolve.
REVIEW.md
"Read the root AGENTS.md and every nested AGENTS.md on the path to each changed file; most tools only load the ones above their working directory." quest review already hands the reviewer the base's root and nested instruction files for every changed directory.
"Unit tests mock time instead of depending on the real clock: a test that sleeps to let work settle, waits out a timeout to prove nothing happened, or asserts that an operation finished within a real-time budget passes on a quiet machine and flakes under load. Flag one in any language, even when ..." becomes "Flag a unit test that waits on the real clock, in any language, even when ...". The general claim is the shared rule; the moq-specific lines after it are unchanged.
Nested AGENTS.md
rs/AGENTS.md: "Newtypes and enums over untyped strings." Restates "Let the type system make misuse unrepresentable."
js/AGENTS.md: "Document every export and" is cut from "Document every export and give each entrypoint a @module block." The first half is the shared comment rule.
py/AGENTS.md: ": document public symbols" is cut from "The package ships py.typed: document public symbols." Same shared rule.
js/net/AGENTS.md: "Local and remote paths behave the same: a local close, cancel, or error reaches local readers exactly as the remote equivalent would, never as a cleaner end." A copy of rs/moq-net/AGENTS.md's rule. The file is now one line: "The wire layer, the JS counterpart of rs/moq-net: keep their behavior identical, and follow rs/moq-net/AGENTS.md's rules here."
test/smoke/AGENTS.md: ": just smoke, just full, just token, just cloudflare, just moxygen, or just relays" is cut from "Run the lane you changed". The list mirrors test/smoke/justfile.
verify-* skills
Every /statechart reference is gone; no such skill exists in this repository, its history, or the user-level skill directories. In the skills: "Read a counterexample with /statechart, passing it the spec, a config, and Handover.view.ts, which labels what the handle reports, what the policy holds, and each step as the event that happens." (reconnect); "Read a counterexample with /statechart, passing it the spec, a config, and RouteHandoff.view.ts, which labels each relay's route and each step as the message that arrives. It gives the shortest path to each broken rule in those words. The view labels any mesh and assumes equal costs." (route); "Read a counterexample with /statechart, passing it the spec, a config, and SubscribeAccounting.view.ts, which labels what each side holds for the group, which update each side is on, and each step as the event that happens. It gives the shortest path to each broken rule in those words." (subscribe); and in resume, "Chart.cfg is for /statechart only: a story ..." becomes "Chart.cfg is a story ...", dropping "Pass it the spec, Chart.cfg, and ResumeReader.view.ts, which labels which route serves, what the reader has, and each step as what happens to a route or the reader. For a counterexample, pass the config that broke instead."
The same reference is reworded out of js/publish/verify/README.md, js/room/verify/README.md, js/watch/verify/README.md ("To draw the chart, run /statechart with ..." becomes "The chart draws from ..."), the eight *.view.ts headers ("Labels for /statechart on X.tla" becomes "Statechart labels for X.tla"), and the comments in rs/moq-net/verify/resume/Chart.cfg and ResumeReader.tla. Comments only: no model or config changes.
Moved to a new rs/moq-net/verify/README.md, which each skill now names: "A counterexample is a path through the model, not yet a bug. ... If the code does not follow the path, the model is wrong: fix the model to match the code. If it does, report the path and the rule in the code's words. Do not weaken a rule, add a constraint, or shrink the bounds until the check passes." (five skills), "After a change to a covered function, mirror it in the model, rerun every config, and move the sync commit forward only once the model describes the code at the new commit." (six), and "just check fails when a function or type the table names no longer exists in its file (sh/coverage-tables.py), so each Code cell starts with a repo-relative path, then the symbols in it." (four; the script checks all six). Each skill keeps its replay helpers, and failover and resume keep their residual_* pin instruction. verify-route-key's own "Reading a failure" is different text and is unchanged.
Timings to an order of magnitude: "under 30 seconds on 24 cores" to "seconds" and "11 minutes on 8 workers" to "minutes" (failover); "under a minute on 32 cores" to "under a minute" (reconnect); "three minutes on 32 cores" and "under two minutes" to "in minutes" (resume); "20 to 30 seconds on 32 cores" to "in seconds" (subscribe); "in about ten seconds" to "in seconds" (route-key); in route, "Times are TLC 1.8.0 on Java 21 with -workers 4 at nice -n 19, on a 24-core host under load from other work." to "Times are with -workers 4.", the Run column's "39 min", "25 min", "61 min", "13 min", "61 min", "9 min" to "tens of minutes", "tens of minutes", "an hour", "ten minutes", "an hour", "ten minutes", and "15 seconds" to "seconds". State counts, depths, and every "passes" or "fails at the sync commit" fact are unchanged, as are the rules tables, open findings, and Not-covered sections.
Elsewhere
flake.nix and flake.lock: the quest input moves from 2572be9c to 93c9c2ef65f074e82094bf5272076db44ac19030; the lock diff changes only that input. That build's quest init rewrote the quest-recurring stub's description.
doc/setup/agent.md: "follow Prompting in quest context" becomes "follow quest guide prompting". The same stale pointer as the two above, which the audit missed.
test/interop/README.md, quest/m3/c/README.md, and four plans under quest/m3/release/ (README.md, cut.md, cycle-phases.md, migrate-audit.md): pointers to CONTRIBUTING.md's release and Versions text now name RELEASE.md. doc/setup/repository.md lists RELEASE.md beside CONTRIBUTING.md.
README.md: "for the attribution policy and guidance on when to open an issue" becomes "for guidance on when to open an issue". CONTRIBUTING.md no longer holds an attribution rule (review finding 1).
Decisions
All by the maintainer, 2026-11-11:
Delete .claude/rules/prompting.md, and correct REVIEW.md's pointer to quest guide prompting.
Delete CONTRIBUTING.md's copies of the shared PR rules, the online-reviewer rule, the /quest-plan follow-up line, the rebase line, and the Co-Authored-By line. Keep "Run just ci before every push" once, and the AI-assisted contributions policy.
Delete "Immediately disable a flaky test and plan a follow-up to investigate."; the shared rule wins.
Keep "The API is the most important thing to get right: a bad shape costs a breaking change in every language."
Delete the quest init hooks line and the "(today moq-lite-06 and moq-lite-07)" parenthetical once verified stale.
Move Releases and Versions verbatim out of CONTRIBUTING.md, to doc/setup/release.md unless doc/ is wrong for contributor-only text, then to a root RELEASE.md. doc/AGENTS.md says "doc/ introduces features to users" and "Touch doc/ only when a change alters what a user would do", and the docs build publishes every page under doc/, so it is RELEASE.md.
Delete the gate timing history, keeping the *.slow.test.py rule. Shorten the dropped-PR text to what an agent acts on.
In Reviews, keep the sentence that a record naming the head counts as the required review when the author has write access, and point review exemptions at /quest-merge.
In REVIEW.md, delete the nested-AGENTS.md line and trim only the general first sentence of the unit-test-time paragraph.
Collapse the just check / just fix block to one sentence.
Apply the audit's restatement trims to nested AGENTS.md files; make js/net/AGENTS.md one line; leave rs/moq-relay/AGENTS.md, rs/moq-net/AGENTS.md, drafts/, skills/moq/, and doc/AGENTS.md alone.
In the verify-* skills, delete every /statechart reference, move the repeated "Reading a failure" and coverage text into one shared file, and trim machine-specific timings to an order of magnitude, keeping the rules tables, open findings, Not-covered sections, and every "fails at the sync commit" fact.
Move the quest pin to 93c9c2ef and commit what its quest init changes.
By the maintainer, 2026-11-12, when picking this PR to merge:
Accept every quoted removal under Summary as is, including AGENTS.md's "Immediately disable a flaky test and plan a follow-up to investigate." and the "(today moq-lite-06 and moq-lite-07)" note.
Merging main brought in moq-dev/moq#8543's one-reviewer line next to the quest init hooks line this PR deletes; the merge keeps the new line and still drops the hooks line.
Impact
Public API: None. Wire: none.
Validation
nix develop --command quest gate just ci passed on 699cd37 and again on 2b21d9c: 24 modules selected, including check quest, check markdown, check coverage_tables (the six skills' Coverage tables still parse), check flake, and the Rust, JS, and Python suites, 629 s wall.
nix flake lock moved only the quest input.
nix develop --command quest init ran clean at the new pin, which is the check that the hooks line was stale.
git grep -i /statechart finds nothing.
RELEASE.md is byte for byte the two sections cut from CONTRIBUTING.md.
No behavior to exercise: instructions, comments, and a pin.
Alternatives
doc/setup/release.md for the release procedure: rejected for the reason under Decisions.
Deleting the *.view.ts files and Chart.cfg along with the /statechart references: out of scope here, see Follow-ups.
Follow-ups
No quests added. Left for the maintainer, each untouched here:
The *.view.ts files and rs/moq-net/verify/resume/Chart.cfg have no consumer without a /statechart skill. Restore the skill or delete them.
Audit items kept because they are not restatements of a shared rule or were not settled: AGENTS.md "doc/ is for end-users and advertising the available features." (repeats doc/AGENTS.md), "A breaking PR puts its migration note in its Impact section; the release cut writes it into the package's MIGRATE.md.", "Replace a callback parameter with a handle, an event, or a Producer/Consumer split." (adds the event and Producer/Consumer options), and "Keep package boundaries modular and reusable;"; rs/AGENTS.md "Derive Serialize/Deserialize ..."; py/AGENTS.md "Extend with keyword-only args with defaults (*, ...), not options objects." (adds keyword-only to rs/moq-ffi/AGENTS.md's rule); the platform list in CONTRIBUTING.md's nightly sentence, which rs/AGENTS.md repeats.
Models
Size: M
Implementer: Claude Code, claude-fable-5-2, unknown effort
Implementer: Claude Code, claude-opus-5-5, medium effort (iterate, M)
Score: 9/10, No actionable regressions were found; the documentation consolidation appears consistent, though builds, tests, and quest commands were not run as instructed.
Drop lines that restate quest's shared rules, move the release procedure
to RELEASE.md, share the verify skills' common rules in
rs/moq-net/verify/README.md, and remove references to a /statechart skill
that does not exist.

The pull request revises repository and contribution guidance, adds release and version policies to RELEASE.md, and updates references to that document. Verification skills now direct readers to shared guidance for failure review and coverage. Verification documentation and comments also update statechart descriptions. Several agent conventions, timing descriptions, and prompting references are changed or removed.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 2b21d
This is a documentation-only change with no behavior or API impact. The shared verification guidance can send a reader to edit a model when the code is at fault. Tightening that sentence before or soon after merge is advisable, but it does not block the merge.

quest land watch: the merge queue removed this pull request at 2b21d9c because it conflicts with main (merge_conflict).
The land fixer works on it in the background, and the watcher re-enqueues it at the back of the queue once it is fixed or judged flaky, or hands it back here with what it needs.

Merged base into the pinned PR head and resolved the documentation conflict in commit 28d3f6cac284d8ca0ee2355f5d92c27a169ef94f on pr-8539. The resolution preserves base's Pressure model details and newer sync commit, and the PR's wording cleanup and shared coverage reference. No behavior changes or additional protected-path edits were made.
Ran git diff --check and nix develop --command just ci base. All 12,951 executed Rust tests, 130 Python tests, JavaScript tests, and the other selected checks passed. The gate failed only at the flake check: ci: flake's NixOS VM tests need KVM, but /dev/kvm is missing; run them on a KVM host, as CI does. The fix is retained locally, but cannot be reported validated until that check passes on a KVM host.

Reviewed changes
Quest pin bump: flake.nix and flake.lock move the quest input to 93c9c2ef (only that input changes), with the quest-recurring stub description regenerated by quest init.
New root RELEASE.md: the Releases and Versions sections cut from CONTRIBUTING.md, and I confirmed the moved body is identical to the removed text, leaving CONTRIBUTING.md with a one-line # Releases pointer.
Pointer repointing: AGENTS.md, doc/setup/repository.md, test/interop/README.md, and the quest/m3 release plans now name RELEASE.md.
Instruction trims: AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, REVIEW.md, and the nested AGENTS.md files drop text that the shared quest rules state, with js/net/AGENTS.md collapsed to a pointer at rs/moq-net/AGENTS.md.
verify-* skills: every /statechart reference is gone, the shared Reading a failure and Coverage text moved to the new rs/moq-net/verify/README.md that each skill names, timings coarsened, and the shared replay text now allows the code rather than the model to be wrong.
Deleted .claude/rules/prompting.md, with no remaining .claude/rules references.
I also checked that no stale CONTRIBUTING.md#versions/#releases links remain, that the README.md#ai anchor still resolves, that sh/coverage-tables.py still finds the Coverage tables and sync-commit lines, and that bash sh/text.sh passes at this head.

Reviewed changes
Reviewed the delta since the prior review head (2b21d9c): the one-line rs/moq-net/verify/README.md correction at ea35a64, plus the origin/main merge.
Reworded the shared "Reading a failure" guidance so a replay mismatch can be the code's bug: a model that states the intended behavior is kept, with the gap reported in the code, instead of always rewriting the model to match.
Merged origin/main, carrying the subscribe skill's Pressure split, 13.1M-state count, StreamWins.cfg, and the d9a88d2e36 sync commit.
The new wording matches what the failover and resume skills already document — their open findings keep the model and pin the code's gap as residual_* tests — so the shared text no longer contradicts them, and git grep "model is wrong" finds no remaining copy of the old rule.

The first half is the shared comment rule.py/AGENTS.md: ": document public symbols" is cut from "The package shipspy.typed: document public symbols." Same shared rule.js/net/AGENTS.md: "Local and remote paths behave the same: a local close, cancel, or error reaches local readers exactly as the remote equivalent would, never as a cleaner end." A copy ofrs/moq-net/AGENTS.md's rule. The file is now one line: "The wire layer, the JS counterpart ofrs/moq-net: keep their behavior identical, and followrs/moq-net/AGENTS.md's rules here."test/smoke/AGENTS.md: ":just smoke,just full,just token,just cloudflare,just moxygen, orjust relays" is cut from "Run the lane you changed". The list mirrorstest/smoke/justfile.verify-*skills/statechartreference is gone; no such skill exists in this repository, its history, or the user-level skill directories. In the skills: "Read a counterexample with/statechart, passing it the spec, a config, andHandover.view.ts, which labels what the handle reports, what the policy holds, and each step as the event that happens." (reconnect); "Read a counterexample with/statechart, passing it the spec, a config, andRouteHandoff.view.ts, which labels each relay's route and each step as the message that arrives. It gives the shortest path to each broken rule in those words. The view labels any mesh and assumes equal costs." (route); "Read a counterexample with/statechart, passing it the spec, a config, andSubscribeAccounting.view.ts, which labels what each side holds for the group, which update each side is on, and each step as the event that happens. It gives the shortest path to each broken rule in those words." (subscribe); and in resume, "Chart.cfgis for/statechartonly: a story ..." becomes "Chart.cfgis a story ...", dropping "Pass it the spec,Chart.cfg, andResumeReader.view.ts, which labels which route serves, what the reader has, and each step as what happens to a route or the reader. For a counterexample, pass the config that broke instead."js/publish/verify/README.md,js/room/verify/README.md,js/watch/verify/README.md("To draw the chart, run/statechartwith ..." becomes "The chart draws from ..."), the eight*.view.tsheaders ("Labels for/statecharton X.tla" becomes "Statechart labels for X.tla"), and the comments inrs/moq-net/verify/resume/Chart.cfgandResumeReader.tla. Comments only: no model or config changes.rs/moq-net/verify/README.md, which each skill now names: "A counterexample is a path through the model, not yet a bug. ... If the code does not follow the path, the model is wrong: fix the model to match the code. If it does, report the path and the rule in the code's words. Do not weaken a rule, add a constraint, or shrink the bounds until the check passes." (five skills), "After a change to a covered function, mirror it in the model, rerun every config, and move the sync commit forward only once the model describes the code at the new commit." (six), and "just checkfails when a function or type the table names no longer exists in its file (sh/coverage-tables.py), so each Code cell starts with a repo-relative path, then the symbols in it." (four; the script checks all six). Each skill keeps its replay helpers, and failover and resume keep theirresidual_*pin instruction.verify-route-key's own "Reading a failure" is different text and is unchanged.-workers 4atnice -n 19, on a 24-core host under load from other work." to "Times are with-workers 4.", the Run column's "39 min", "25 min", "61 min", "13 min", "61 min", "9 min" to "tens of minutes", "tens of minutes", "an hour", "ten minutes", "an hour", "ten minutes", and "15 seconds" to "seconds". State counts, depths, and every "passes" or "fails at the sync commit" fact are unchanged, as are the rules tables, open findings, and Not-covered sections.Elsewhere
