Load Interface Instructions
When to use
When working on code in the Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface repo (TypeScript SDK + contracts) and you need repo-specific context. The agent should read the relevant instruction files to understand conventions, architecture, and project structure.
Available instruction files
All files live in Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/:
| File | Content | When to load |
|---|---|---|
interface-coding-conventions.instructions.md | TypeScript style, Zod, strict mode | When writing or reviewing code |
interface-build-and-test.instructions.md | npm scripts, vitest, tsc | When building, testing, or fixing errors |
interface-project-structure.instructions.md | Directory layout, SDK organization | When navigating the codebase or adding new files |
interface-private-architecture.instructions.md | SDK architecture, transport layer | When making architectural decisions |
interface-private-roadmap.instructions.md | Milestone plan, next tasks | When planning work or checking status |
interface-private-strategy.instructions.md | What belongs here vs Backend | When deciding where code should live |
Also available: interface-code-review.instructions.md — manual-only, load when reviewing PRs. Has excludeAgent guard to block the autonomous coding agent.
How to load
Read the files you need using read_file. Common patterns:
Starting coding work
code
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-coding-conventions.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-project-structure.instructions.md")
Build/test troubleshooting
code
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-build-and-test.instructions.md")
Architecture/planning
code
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-architecture.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-roadmap.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-strategy.instructions.md")
Load all (when full context is needed)
code
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-coding-conventions.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-build-and-test.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-project-structure.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-architecture.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-roadmap.instructions.md")
read_file("Phoenix-Agentic-Engine-Interface/.github/instructions/interface-private-strategy.instructions.md")
