# Out-of-date agent instructions

Prompt · Agent harness and modern stack · G01

Finds instructions that send agents to files and patterns that no longer exist.

## Prompt

```text
Compare every agent instruction and documentation file in this repository (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, SKILL.md, README.md, architecture docs) against the actual directory structure, package scripts, and code patterns. Identify stale rules that reference deleted paths, replaced libraries, or deprecated patterns that mislead coding agents.
```

**What it returns:** Each stale line with the file it lives in and the current fact it contradicts.

**Skip it when:** Right after an instruction-file cleanup.

**Tools:** Repository access.

**Changes:** Changes nothing

**Sessions:** One session
