wtclaude 7fdde56560 docs: add project design doc and agent guidance
Tracks the two files that were sitting untracked in the working tree: the
original Agentic Bridle MCP design doc, and CLAUDE.md carrying the repo's
git/Gitea, SonarQube, and contribution conventions.

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Subagents
Use subagents (the Agent tool) when a task genuinely benefits from one — and match the model to the
work:
- **Reach for a subagent** for broad, read-heavy fan-out that would otherwise flood the main context:
sweeping many files across services, tracing a change through multiple components, or researching
where/how something is wired. Prefer `Explore` (read-only search) or `general-purpose` for these.
Use `Plan` to design a multi-step implementation before editing. Keep narrow, single-file edits and
quick lookups on the main thread — spawning a cold agent for those costs more than it saves.
- **Assign the model to the task.** Route heavy reasoning — architecture decisions, contract/protocol
changes, security-sensitive work (auth, secrets, credential handling) — to a stronger model (Opus).
Route routine, well-scoped mechanical work — bulk search, boilerplate, simple refactors,
running/reporting tests — to a faster, cheaper model (Sonnet or Haiku). State the model explicitly
when spawning rather than defaulting.
## Git & Gitea access
- **All commits and pushes use the `wtclaude` bot identity, authenticated with the token at
`C:\Users\colby\.gitea_token_claude`.** Do not use the human user's git credentials. Configure the
remote (or a one-off push) to carry the token and set the author/committer to `wtclaude`, e.g.:
```bash
TOKEN=$(cat /c/Users/colby/.gitea_token_claude)
git -c http.extraHeader="Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
-c user.name=wtclaude -c user.email=claude@whitlocktech.net \
push origin <branch>
```
Keep the token out of committed files, remote URLs, and command output/logs (pass it via
`http.extraHeader` or a credential helper, never inline in the `origin` URL).
- **Use the Gitea MCP tools (`mcp__gitea__*`) for all server-side Gitea operations** — opening and
reviewing pull requests, issues, releases, branches, labels, and reading repo contents. Prefer the
MCP over shelling out to `git`/`gh`/`tea` or the raw REST API for these. Reserve local `git` for
working-tree operations (commit, push, branch checkout) using the token above.
- **Sync `main` before you start coding.** Before creating any new branch, switch to `main` and pull
so the local copy matches the remote (branches are always cut from an up-to-date `main`, never a
stale one):
```bash
TOKEN=$(cat /c/Users/colby/.gitea_token_claude)
git checkout main
git -c http.extraHeader="Authorization: token $TOKEN" pull --ff-only origin main
git checkout -b <type>/<branch>
```
If the working tree has uncommitted changes that block the checkout/pull, stop and surface it
rather than discarding them.
## SonarQube (code quality / security scanning)
- **SonarQube is at `https://sonar.whitlocktech.com`.** The API token lives in a local file in
`SONAR_TOKEN=squ_…` (KEY=value) format — extract the value after `=`. Read it at call time, and
keep it out of committed files, remote URLs, and command output/logs. **Authenticate with HTTP
Basic auth (token as username, empty password) — `-u "$TOKEN:"`; the `Authorization: Bearer` header
returns 401 on this instance.** Example:
```bash
TOKEN=$(grep -oP '(?<=SONAR_TOKEN=).*' /path/to/sonar_token.txt)
curl -s -u "$TOKEN:" \
"https://sonar.whitlocktech.com/api/issues/search?componentKeys=<projectKey>&types=VULNERABILITY"
```
- **Project key(s):** _fill in once the Sonar project(s) for this repo are created._
## Conventions
- **Conventional Commits** (`type(scope): summary`, e.g. `feat(gateway): add token vault`).
- **AI-assisted contributions must be disclosed** (org policy): tick the PR-template box naming the
tool, and mark AI-authored commits with a trailer such as `Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>`.
Undisclosed AI-generated contributions may be closed. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
- Branch from `main` (`feature/…`, `fix/…`, `docs/…`, `chore/…`).
- **All architectural and design decisions must be asked and approved by the org lead (Colby
Whitlock) before implementation. You must ask before writing code.**
