Summary

moq-dev/quest#457 added quest context, which prints the shared engineering rules and a Prompting section. This repo now relies on it instead of carrying its own copy.

• AGENTS.md keeps only the moq.dev-specific rules (deploy permission, upstream fixes in moq-dev/moq, just fix/dev-server verification, traced SVG art) and tells agents to run quest context and quest guide.
• Removes PROMPTING.md; .claude/rules/prompting.md now points at Prompting in quest context.
• Removes the CLAUDE.md symlink. While it existed Claude Code read it instead of AGENTS.md; v2.1.277+ reads AGENTS.md directly when there's no CLAUDE.md (docs).
• Moves the quest flake input from kixelated/quest to moq-dev/quest, pinned at 9277dc3413c9297ba12326e5ae4abeff7f2ff6be (the moq-dev/quest#457 merge, currently quest's main).
• Syncs the skill stubs with quest init from the new pin. That binary has no ready skill, so the old quest-ready stub broke after the bump. quest-ready becomes quest-review, quest-grill and quest-unblock are added, and the setup links now point at moq-dev/quest. I left out the Claude Code worktree hooks that quest init also writes to .claude/settings.json, since they change behavior and are outside this PR.

Dropped AGENTS.md rules: everything removed is covered by quest context or quest guide, or is a generic rule rather than one specific to this repo. I checked origin/main and it has no new repo-specific rules since the draft. Three dropped rules are generic and have no exact counterpart in either place: "Match the existing conventions", "git stash is one stack shared by every worktree", and "Land each fix with a regression test". quest context now says "Tests cover edge cases, not old bugs".

Impact

Docs and tooling only: agent instructions, skill stubs, and the dev-shell quest pin. The sites, public API, and wire format don't change.

Validation

• nix develop --command quest context prints the context, identical to assets/CONTEXT.md at quest main.
• nix develop --command quest gate just check passes (biome, tsc, quest check: 7 documents ok) on both commits.
• quest skill review resolves with the new pin, and quest skill ready errors with no skill named ready, which is why the stubs were synced.
• git grep -i finds no remaining references to PROMPTING.md or CLAUDE.md.

Review

• 2ba48614e577258cec1e33212a6eb9ac3cb1bd35: review skipped by the author as trivial (the reference line, reference wording, and the quest pin since the reviewed head).

• Reviewer: Codex, gpt-6.1-sol, effort medium (quest review --base origin/main)

• Reviewed head: ccb4e5f (round 2: 0 findings)

• Round 1 findings:

  • CLAUDE.md, "preserve Claude Code's automatic project instructions": refuted. Claude Code reads AGENTS.md when no CLAUDE.md exists (memory docs, AGENTS.md table, v2.1.277+), and removing the symlink was the maintainer's decision for this rollout.
  • flake.nix:11, "migrate the readiness skill alongside the quest upgrade": fixed in ccb4e5f by syncing the stubs with quest init.

Update for moq-dev/quest#460

moq-dev/quest#460 made quest context the command agents run before any work, and quest guide quest-only (the context says when to run it). This push changes the AGENTS.md reference line to Quests: before any work, run `quest context` and follow it., repoints CONTRIBUTING.md references to the moved Reviews rules, and bumps quest to 4be350816f2a5c1157f799773ee1594f199fd9a7. The repository's checks pass on the new head.

Walkthrough

The Quest flake input and skill setup links now point to moq-dev/quest. The skill set adds quest-grill, quest-review, and quest-unblock, and removes quest-ready. Instructions for completing and merging PRs now describe queuing them. AGENTS.md is shortened and updated. The prompting rule refers to “Prompting” in quest context. CLAUDE.md and PROMPTING.md are deleted.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2d366

The changes are mergeable with bounded awareness of instruction-discovery and setup gaps. Some Claude sessions may miss repository rules, fresh checkouts need clearer Quest startup instructions, and shared guidance no longer requires an easy regression test for each fix. No application-runtime failure is established.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "docs(agents): rely on quest context for shared rules" matches the main change. AGENTS.md drops its local copy of the shared rules and points agents to quest context, and PROMPTING.md is removed. The title is specific and clear. The title does not mention the flake pin move, the skill stub sync, or the CLAUDE.md symlink removal, but it does not need to cover every detail.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description relates directly to the changeset. It explains that AGENTS.md keeps only moq.dev-specific rules and points to quest context, that PROMPTING.md is removed, that the CLAUDE.md symlink is removed, that the quest flake input moves to moq-dev/quest, and that the skill stubs are synced. It also lists validation steps and a reviewer round. The description is detailed and on-topic.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.

Use the pinned Quest binary; the fallback can install a release without these skills.

7-7: Minor · Functional Correctness · Poor tradeoff

Use the pinned Quest binary; the fallback can install a release without these skills.

Agents without Quest follow SETUP.md, which says to pin the latest release. Release v0.1.0 lacks the afk, grill, recurring, review, and unblock skills, so quest skill <name> finds nothing for those five stubs. The flake pin provides them. Enter nix develop before using these skills. The stub text comes from the Quest CLI, so a durable fix belongs upstream.

Review comment at @.claude/skills/quest-afk/SKILL.md at line 7:
The missing-Quest setup instruction can lead to a release without the required
skills. Update the Quest setup guidance in the `quest-afk` skill to have agents
use the flake-pinned Quest binary by entering `nix develop` before invoking the
skills, rather than following the SETUP.md latest-release fallback.

The root-cause guidance is covered; the regression-test requirement is not.

14-14: Minor · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

The root-cause guidance is covered; the regression-test requirement is not.

The pinned quest context covers the root-cause and reproduction rules. It does not include the rule to land each fix with a regression test. Its test guidance says "Tests cover edge cases, not old bugs or trivial values," which argues against regression tests for bug fixes. Agents that follow this guidance may skip regression tests for bug fixes.

Restore the removed requirement in AGENTS.md, since the repository's own instructions can override the shared guidance:

Suggested fix

 Quests: before starting work, run `quest context` and `quest guide`, and follow both.
+Land each bug fix with a regression test that fails without it, when one is easy.

Review comment at @AGENTS.md at line 14:
The AGENTS.md quest guidance may discourage regression coverage for bug fixes;
update it to make clear that bug fixes should include a regression test when
practical. Keep the change limited to resolving this conflict in the test
guidance.

@coderabbitai Re the quest-afk SETUP.md fallback finding: not changing it here. The stubs are generated verbatim by the pinned quest and synced, and this repo's direnv/nix develop shell already puts the flake-pinned binary (with every skill) on PATH; AGENTS.md tells agents to use that shell. Pointing the fallback at a release that has the skills is an upstream fix in moq-dev/quest.

Merged main (nixpkgs bump from moq-dev/moq.dev#212) conflict-free; flake.lock keeps main's nixpkgs and this PR's quest pin. just fix and just check pass.

@kixelated Thanks for the context. The dev shell includes the pinned quest binary, and I understand the generated stub should be fixed upstream.

Thanks for reporting that just fix and just check pass. Would you like to open a follow-up issue in moq-dev/quest for the fallback?

Landing summary for 2d3667756eac98b5cffda5982c776992aab569f6:

• Merged main conflict-free (including the nixpkgs bump from moq-dev/moq.dev#212). flake.lock keeps main's nixpkgs 5c9de89 and this PR's quest pin 4be3508. just fix (no changes) and just check pass in the Nix shell, and quest check --base origin/main passes.
• CodeRabbit reviewed this head, which covers the previously unreviewed 2ba4861. Both findings were declined with replies: the CLAUDE.md symlink removal is the maintainer's decision, and the Nix shell setup is already in README.md, which line 1 points to. The earlier quest-afk stub finding is an upstream moq-dev/quest fix.
• Squash merge.
