I think you did an amazing job of converting this into something that people can easily understand and use within their codebase - so props on that. It however would be the the right thing to give the proper credit to the source of idea - at least to thank them for their work and effort given this more of less is a direct copy of what they published https://www.intent-systems.com/ (not me and it’s something I use as well, but proper thing to do is give credit where credit is due)

hey moonshot, I wrote that intent layer article, thank you for this! I'm glad you find it useful :)

hey, thank you, yup I fully agree with you. before publishing, I made sure to add a Credits section at the end of the blogpost. I will add it to GitHub too ;)

Truly curious here.

How is this different to asking the agent to add documentation?

This follows, more or less, the principle of progressive disclosure, similar to skills. I think of it as precomputing constraints, not just context. The agent always reads the subfolder’s AGENTS.md, which re-asserts scope and authority. I plan to add another skill to periodically re-assert intent, preventing intent drift and keeping the intent layer up to date. You can already rerun /intent-layer to refresh it.
