Writing Instructions
# Writing Instruction Files
## Overview
Instructions are long-lived behavior rules compiled into AGENTS.md and
target-specific rules files. They are always active when files matching the
`applyTo` glob are touched.
## File Format
Files live in `.apm/instructions/` with the `.instructions.md` extension. The
basename becomes the deployed filename stem.
### Frontmatterwhen to use it
Community prompt sourced from the open-source GitHub repo pngdeity/apm-user-repository (MIT). A "Writing Instructions" style prompt — adapt the placeholders and specifics to your task. Imported as-is and not independently retested here, so check the output before relying on it.
