+# AGENTS.md - Code Rush
+
+Guidance for AI agents and humans working in this repository.
+
+## Read order (every session)
+
+1. [docs/state.md](docs/state.md) - operating position (Archive)
+2. [docs/index.md](docs/index.md) - what docs exist
+3. [FLAGS.md](FLAGS.md) - known gaps / accepted limitations
+4. Task docs linked from INDEX (onboarding, deploy, architecture) only as needed
+5. [README.md](README.md) - how to run and contribute
+
+Do not auto-load `docs/archive/`. Do not invent a business FMD suite (no BRD / UES / GTM).
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Challenge/event tool posture: Archive unless preparing a new rush.
+- Do not invent GTM or product-suite docs.
+- Docs-only improvements land as FLAGS unless maintainers explicitly ask for code changes.
+- No em-dashes in new docs.
+
+## Ownership
+
+Owner: GDG PUP Technology (incoming CTO). Handover 2026-09-02. Outgoing CTO: Carlos Jerico Dela Torre.
+## FMD
+
+**Built on FMD philosophy (v1.31.0)** - INDEX / STATE / FLAGS control plane for humans and AI; no FMD engine install.
+
+Read order stays: docs/state.md then docs/index.md then FLAGS.md then task docs.

+
+Improvement register for this repository. Documentation handover only - do not treat Open rows as bugs fixed in the docs PR.
+
+Status: **Open** (actionable later) or **Accepted** (known limitation).

+| ID | Severity | Finding | Evidence | Suggested next step | Status |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| F1 | Medium | Firebase env vars are required; README lists a partial set. | README Environment Setup | Publish a complete env name list (no secrets) before the next event. | Open |
+| F2 | Low | Package name is ``css-rush`` while repo/title is Code Rush. | ``package.json`` | Harmless naming drift; align only if republishing. | Accepted |
