This repository stores a reusable snapshot of the working style and project-harness rules that shaped a productive Codex session on a research codebase.
AGENTS.md- a short root policy file for a research repository
docs/agent_behavior_rules.md- the practical behavior rules that drove the agent's actions
docs/research_harness_summary.md- the research workflow, experiment lifecycle, and evaluation contract summary
Use this as a starting point when setting up a new research repository where you want:
- plan-first experimental work
- durable documentation under
docs/ - matched-comparison discipline
- explicit validation and reporting rules
- concise but rigorous agent behavior
This snapshot was created on 2026-04-03 from a live project session focused on semantic, split, and federated learning research under communication constraints.
