MedAssist-ng - Copilot Entry Point

VERY IMPORTANT - Prioritized Constraints

First: Update Memory and Reports

• Always keep agent work memory updated in doku/memory_notes.md so progress and decisions remain recoverable across context loss.
  • If doku/memory_notes.md is missing, create it immediately.
• Always keep a user-facing work report updated in doku/report.md so completed work is easy to review.
  • If doku/report.md is missing, create it immediately.
• This memory/report rule replaces the previous doku/APP_BEHAVIOR.md persistence requirement.

Second: Follow Governance Rules

• Consult AGENTS.md for governance, workflow, and skill rules when that file exists in the workspace.

When AGENTS.md exists in the workspace, use it as the single source of truth for governance, workflow, and skill rules.

Required Startup Steps

1. Read AGENTS.md first when it exists in the workspace.
2. If AGENTS.md exists, identify triggered skills from it and read each referenced SKILL.md before making changes.
3. Follow delegation boundaries exactly (@testing-manager for testing, @release-manager for release orchestration).
4. When work moves into a different thematic area, create or switch to a dedicated local branch or worktree before editing code, and reuse the same branch/worktree for follow-up work inside that same theme.
