AgentInProduction

This repo demonstrates how to give coding agents project-specific guidelines for production-quality coding. The guidelines cover feature design, implementation, code review, testing, and repeatable feedback for production-quality mistakes.

The core artifact is developer-guidelines.md, adapted with only minor changes from my NVIDIA Model Optimizer PR #1488.

How to use this repo

This is a reference repo; there is no build or install step.

1. Read developer-guidelines.md.
2. Create a fitting developer-guidelines.md for your project repository.
3. Ask the coding agent to follow those instructions for design, implementation, review, and testing in your repository's agent instruction files, such as CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or CURSOR.md.
4. When the agent makes a repeatable production-quality mistake, add a short, general guideline that would prevent that class of mistake next time.
