## Summary
* As many of us have experienced, the use of AI coding agents (Claude,
Cursor, Copilot) in our daily workflows is no longer a hypothetical—it
is a reality. While these tools can significantly accelerate
development, they also pose a unique risk to a project like CrossPoint
Reader, where our hardware constraints (ESP32-C3 with ~380KB RAM) are
extremely tight.
* AI models often "hallucinate" APIs or suggest high-level C++ patterns
(like std::string or heavy heap usage) that are detrimental to our
memory-constrained environment.
* To address this, I am proposing the introduction of an AI Agent
Guidance File (.skills/SKILL.md recognized by many AI systems). This
file acts as a "Constitutional Document" for AI agents, forcing them to
adhere to our specific engineering rigors before they generate a single
line of code.
