# Agent Rules
**This project is managed through AgilePlus.**
## AgilePlus Mandate
All work MUST be tracked in AgilePlus:
- Reference: /Users/kooshapari/CodeProjects/Phenotype/repos/AgilePlus
- CLI: cd /Users/kooshapari/CodeProjects/Phenotype/repos/AgilePlus && agileplus <command>
## Branch Discipline
- Feature branches in repos/worktrees/<project>/<category>/<branch>
- Canonical repository tracks main only
- Return to main for merge/integration checkpoints
## Work Requirements
1. Check for AgilePlus spec before implementing
2. Update work package status as work progresses
3. No code without corresponding AgilePlus spec
## UTF-8 Encoding
All markdown files must use UTF-8. Avoid smart quotes, em-dashes, and special characters.
```bash
# Validate encoding (in AgilePlus repo)
cd /Users/kooshapari/CodeProjects/Phenotype/repos/AgilePlus
agileplus validate-encoding --all --fix
```
