 "title": "Stop a coding agent from breaking your written project rules",
 "page_title": "How to stop a coding agent from breaking your written project rules with Abide",
 "summary": "Hook Abide into your agent so each edit is checked against your instruction files and violations are repaired in the same turn.",
 "who": "A developer whose team keeps rules in AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md that linters cannot check, and whose coding agent keeps ignoring them.",
 "problem": "Rules such as 'never let a raw error reach a user' are not enforced by any tool, so the agent breaks them on many turns.",
 "outcome": "The agent is told which rule an edit broke, with the rule text and file, and fixes it before moving on.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npx @coldtea/abide login`, choose the key type, and paste your key once.",
  "Run `npx @coldtea/abide init` in your repo to install hooks into every agent found on the machine.",
  "For Codex, start `codex`, type `/hooks`, and accept the four Abide entries. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Start your agent as usual, for example `claude`, and let its first turn compile your rules into `.abide/rubric.json`.",
  "Ask the agent for a change that one of your rules forbids and confirm it receives an Abide repair request."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repo <repo-path>, install Abide with `npx @coldtea/abide init` and confirm that `.abide/rubric.json` was created after the first agent turn. Then ask the agent for an edit that breaks one rule in AGENTS.md and report the rule id and file that Abide names.",

 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Each edit or turn is sent as changed lines to TypeSafe under your key, and the README says a key is required before any check runs.",

 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "A TypeSafe API key from typesafe.ai, or a Vercel AI Gateway key",
  "A terminal with npx available",
  "A git repository with project instruction files such as AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md",
  "One or more supported agents installed: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or Pi"
