AI Coding Agent Rules Pack: 8 Safe CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md Files

AI coding agents are fast, and they will do whatever your project file lets them do. This pack gives you eight ready-to-paste instruction files so your agent knows what it can run, what it must ask about first, and what it must never touch.

Every template works as a CLAUDE.md or an AGENTS.md. Each one has: project facts for you to fill in, commands the agent may run freely, commands that need your OK first, a never-do list (deleting data, force-pushing, exposing secrets, deploying), a definition of done, and a clear way for the agent to report back.

Templates cover React/Next web apps, REST APIs (Node or Python), mobile apps, data/ML projects, static marketing sites, Shopify/WordPress sites, CLI tools, and monorepos.

You also get a session-start checklist, an end-of-session checklist, and 25 standing-rule one-liners you can mix into any file.

Setup takes about two minutes for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini CLI: copy a file, fill in the blanks, start working.

Honest note: these are instructions the agent is asked to follow. They are not enforcement, and an agent can still ignore them. Your tool also has free built-in controls that do block actions. The separate Claude Code Seatbelt Kit ($27) is for Claude Code only (not Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI): https://payhip.com/b/Vwnjt
