The development shell sets ONECHAT_DIR to .devenv/onechat at the root of
the checkout, unless the variable is already set. Development data, such
as a copy of an old chat log for a replay, stays inside the checkout,
away from a running service, and Git ignores it. Each worktree has its
own .devenv, so parallel work does not share data.
Issues live in git-bug, inside the Git repository, so they work offline
and travel with the code through git bug push and pull. They are not
files in the checkout, so they stay out of diffs, formatters, and the
rule that files describe only the current state.
The development shell supplies git-bug. The issues skill tells agents
how to read and write issues, and warns that the -F option drops every
line that starts with "#". Commit messages now refer to an issue with an
Issue trailer that holds its git-bug ID, because there are no issue URLs
to link.
git-bug has no links between issues, so relations are Parent and
Depends-on trailers at the end of the body, as in a commit message. git
interpret-trailers can read them, and a search for an issue ID finds the
issues that refer to it.
OneChat is a Go program that prints its name. A Nix flake pins the Go
toolchain and every tool, builds the program with nix build, and runs
the binary in an install check. The development shell supplies the
formatters, the linters, and a pinned Vim, and it turns on the commit
message hook.
AGENTS.md holds the rules that apply to every task, such as the Nix
environment, the current-state-only rule, and the rule against revealing
infrastructure. The skills in .agents/skills hold the procedures for Go
code, documentation and comments, checks, and commits, so an agent loads
each one only for the task that needs it.
bin/format and bin/check cover every Go, Nix, RST, and Markdown file
that Git knows about. bin/reflow wraps comment paragraphs the same way
on every machine because it does not use a personal Vim configuration.
CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills are links to the same files, so Claude Code
reads one copy of the rules and skills.
