SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Streamlines updating a single instruction rule across three global AI-instruction files by delegating to a specialized subagent, preventing direct edits in the main chat and ensuring consistent behavior across Claude, Codex, and Gemini platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Delegates edits to the instruction-engineer subagent to execute multi-step validation and cross-platform synchronization.
  • Prepares and applies a standing-global preamble to enforce consistent policy changes across all targets.
  • Keeps full auditability by avoiding bulk replacement of entire instruction files and focusing on surgical rule edits.

Quick Start

Ask me to update a rule and I will route it through the instruction-engineer with standing defaults to sync across all three platforms.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync AI instruction rules across Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI?

To sync AI instruction rules across platforms, this skill delegates targeted rule updates to an instruction-engineer subagent, applying a standing-default preamble to ensure consistent policy behavior across Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.

What is the safest way to update a single rule in global AI instruction files?

The safest way to update global AI instruction files is through surgical rule edits. This approach avoids bulk replacement or scanning entire files, ensuring full auditability by only applying targeted changes via a specialized subagent.

How do I apply a policy edit to multiple AI platforms without rewriting the whole instruction file?

You can apply a policy edit across multiple AI platforms by prepending a standing-global preamble and executing surgical updates. This prevents full file rewrites by routing changes through an instruction-engineer subagent for multi-step validation.

Can I update Claude Code and Gemini CLI instruction files at the same time?

Yes, you can update Claude Code and Gemini CLI instruction files simultaneously. The skill synchronizes cross-platform changes by delegating the edits to an instruction-engineer subagent while enforcing standing defaults across all targets.

Why should I use a subagent to edit AI instruction rules instead of the main chat?

Using a subagent to edit AI instruction rules prevents direct edits in the main chat, ensuring prompt safety and full auditability. This delegation enforces multi-step validation and consistent cross-platform synchronization.

Does updating AI instruction rules with this approach work for partial rule changes?

Yes, updating AI instruction rules with this approach is designed specifically for partial rule changes. It focuses on surgical edits rather than drafting or scanning entire instruction files, ensuring precise and auditable policy updates.
