Sibling store to halogen-workstation-roadmap's skills/ — instance-agnostic reference material meant for KB admission, not for loading into context. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YKviBjJejufEUmryJ42tLT

Handbooks
Instance-agnostic reference material for coding agents — the verbose, citable kind that belongs in a retrieval store, not in a skill.
What goes here
- Public standards, style guides, and conventions that apply regardless of which box or project is running — general git operations, language style guides, CERT/MISRA-style rulebooks.
- Long-form and specific. A handbook can be as detailed as it needs to be; nothing here is loaded into a model's context wholesale, so length carries no per-turn tax.
What does not go here
- Anything specific to one machine or one project. A local Gitea's branch-naming rule, this
box's PR checklist — that's instance-bound and belongs in that project's own KB corpus instead
(
kb-engineeringfor halogen). - Short, prescriptive procedures achievable within a context window or two. That's a skill, not
a handbook — it gets loaded, not retrieved. See
skills/in the halogen-workstation-roadmap repo for the sibling convention. - The retrieval store itself. This repo holds the source-of-truth markdown a human has vouched for. The chunked, embedded index built from it is derived and rebuildable state — it lives beside whichever KB is consuming it, never committed here.
Format
One markdown file per topic at the repo root. Each file should stand as a single admittable document — the same shape a human vouches for at KB admission time.
Status
Started 2026-08-21. First handbook: general git operations.
