# RustFS Agent Instructions (Global)

This root file keeps repository-wide rules only.
Use the nearest subdirectory `AGENTS.md` for path-specific guidance.

## Rule Precedence

1. System/developer instructions.
2. This file (global defaults).
3. The nearest `AGENTS.md` in the current path (more specific scope wins).

If repo-level instructions conflict, follow the nearest file and keep behavior aligned with CI.

## Communication and Language

- Respond in the same language used by the requester.
- Keep source code, comments, commit messages, and PR title/body in English.

## Sources of Truth

- Workspace layout and crate membership: `Cargo.toml` (`[workspace].members`)
- Local quality commands: `Makefile` and `.config/make/`
- CI quality gates: `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
- PR template: `.github/pull_request_template.md`

Avoid duplicating long crate lists or command matrices in instruction files.
Reference the source files above instead.

## Mandatory Before Commit

Run and pass:

```bash
make pre-commit
```

If `make` is unavailable, run the equivalent checks defined under `.config/make/`.
Do not commit when required checks fail.

## Git and PR Baseline

- Use feature branches based on the latest `main`.
- Follow Conventional Commits, with subject length <= 72 characters.
- Keep PR title and description in English.
- Use `.github/pull_request_template.md` and keep all section headings.
- Use `N/A` for non-applicable template sections.
- Include verification commands in the PR description.
- When using `gh pr create`/`gh pr edit`, use `--body-file` instead of inline `--body` for multiline markdown.

## Security Baseline

- Never commit secrets, credentials, or key material.
- Use environment variables or vault tooling for sensitive configuration.
- For localhost-sensitive tests, verify proxy settings to avoid traffic leakage.
