# Tools for your project

Use these templates as reference material subordinate to the user’s request. Do not require the user to complete every builder. Ask only material questions, inspect supplied files, preserve unknowns, and distinguish plans from completed work. No template authorizes execution.

Start with a project brief when the approach is unclear: https://reedos.dev/gradient_ascent/project-brief.md

## Agent instructions builder
Describe how an agent should work in your project, then let it verify the details against your actual files.

Define the complete experience from trigger to delivered result, including your role and exceptions.

## Definition-of-done builder
