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)

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.
