To prevent context drift in spec-kit workflows, load mandatory core agent rules from AGENTS.md before planning begins. This enforces strict workspace governance constraints over plan.md and tasks.md generation.

Agents ignore workspace governance rules during planning when AGENTS.md is not loaded beforehand. Enforcing a before_plan gate ensures core instructions are acknowledged and applied before plan.md generation starts.

If AGENTS.md is missing or unreadable from the workspace root, the planning phase stops immediately with a clear error. This before_plan gate prevents generating plan.md or tasks.md without enforced governance rules.

Loading AGENTS.md does not modify workspace files. It performs read-only context loading to establish constraints for plan.md and tasks.md, ensuring core rules are acknowledged and enforced without altering any files.

You need to load AGENTS.md before generating plan.md and tasks.md in a spec-kit workflow. Establishing these core agent rules as a mandatory before_plan gate ensures strict adherence to workspace governance throughout the planning phase.
