This document outlines the coding policy that any human or AI Coding Agent (hereafter "AI Agent") must strictly adhere to when making changes to a codebase. It covers scoping features via Product Backlog Items (PBIs) and managing the tasks required to implement those features. This policy ensures a disciplined, transparent, and human-controlled approach to software development.
This document should typically be stored in a project's documentation directory, for example, in subfolders like docs/delivery/
or docs/planning/
, separate from user-facing documentation.
