# Agent Rules — Specification

**Version**: v1.2.3 | **Status**: Active | **Last Updated**: March 2026

## Purpose

Defines the structure and format for agent behavioral rules within the Codomyrmex ecosystem.

## Architectural Constraints

- **Modularity**: Each rule file addresses a specific concern or behavioral domain.
- **Real Execution**: Rules must guarantee measurable, verifiable agent behavior.
- **Data Integrity**: Rule definitions must be unambiguous and enforceable.

## Navigation

- **README**: [README.md](README.md)
- **AGENTS**: [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)
- **Parent**: [docs/agents/](../README.md)
## Maintenance Notes

- Keep this document synchronized with adjacent source files.
- Update sibling README, AGENTS, and SPEC documents together.
- Preserve working examples when changing public behavior.
- Prefer measured validation output over inferred status claims.
- Record any remaining gaps in TODO.md or the nearest planning document.
