Add: the hi habit, so intent gets written before the work - #10

Tells an agent working here to draft the criteria for a feature, show them to the person, capture only what they confirm, and then build. No criteria are captured here. Writing intent for a product from its own code reverse-engineers the want from the implementation and makes what is missing invisible. The first real criterion should come from a person asking for something, in their words. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Seed-only hi habit in AGENTS.md. No invented criteria; habit wiring only. Sound + CI green. Approve.

Summary
Adds a short Human intent section to this repository's agent guidance, pointing at hi.
This repo has no
hi/yet. The block tells an agent working here to draft the criteria for a feature, show them to you, capture only what you confirm, and then build — before every feature, not just the first.What this deliberately does not do
No criteria are captured here. Writing intent for a product by reading its own code reverse-engineers the want from the implementation, and makes whatever is missing invisible — which is the part worth having. The first real criterion should come from a person asking for something, in their words.
The block says so explicitly, because the tempting next step is to generate a hundred plausible sentences nobody ever said. Ids are permanent and never reused, so one spent on a wrong sentence is spent forever.
Installing
brew install corvidlabs/tap/hiorcargo install human-intent(currently 0.5.0).Once the first criterion is captured, hi writes a
hi/AGENTS.mdof its own, so this block is only needed until then.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
