DevAgentRadar → Repo Harness Rule Patch

Goal: update our repository's permanent harness instructions based on this release.

Update the file that tool actually reads. Do not dump everything into one file.

• Claude Code → CLAUDE.md plus .claude/ (skills, hooks, settings, agents, commands). It does not read AGENTS.md natively; start CLAUDE.md with @AGENTS.md.
• Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Factory Droid, Grok Build, Roo Code, Goose, OpenCode, Amp, Zed, Aider → AGENTS.md.
• Gemini CLI / Antigravity → GEMINI.md. AGENTS.md only if context.fileName is set.
• Cursor glob-scoped rules → .cursor/rules/*.mdc (plain .md is ignored), not a second constitution.
• Codex MCP → .codex/config.toml, not .mcp.json.
• Copilot extra instructions → .github/copilot-instructions.md; custom agents → .github/agents/.
• Windsurf → .windsurf/rules (do not assume AGENTS.md).
• Cline → .clinerules.
• Procedures → a skill (SKILL.md). Enforcement the model must not skip → a hook. Isolated roles → subagents.
• Do not fork the same rule into three tool files.

Context

Assistant: Kilo Code Proposal: Install marketplace agents from JetBrains Settings and enable Kilo Swarm Summary: JetBrains 7.1.7 adds an in-IDE Marketplace (agents, MCP servers, skills from npm or git), Kilo Swarm boards, and leftover worktree cleanup. Pin versioned plugins in Settings, turn on Swarm collaboration, and remove unused Agent Manager folders instead of leaving the IDE or letting worktrees pile up. Primary source: https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode/releases/tag/jetbrains/v7.1.7

Why it matters

Kilo Code JetBrains 7.1.7 puts browsing, installing, and removing marketplace agents, MCP servers, and skills on a Settings Marketplace page, including npm packages and git refs such as git:github.com/owner/repo@v1.2.3#subdir. Pin those installs in-product so the team is not cloning tools outside the IDE. Swarm support adds an Agent Behavior toggle, readable board tool cards, a board viewer, wrapped long messages, copy-all, and recovery when a stale cursor would loop a sub-agent; unique subagent avatars and a background-agents strip keep multi-agent work visible without expanding panels. Do not post to the shared board when the target subagent is stopped. Agent Manager leftover worktree cleanup reports size, warns on git checkout, and offers copy-path/reveal when nested deletion is blocked—run it so abandoned folders do not accumulate. Pasted text now folds only after 15 lines or 4000 characters, matching VS Code. Selected-code prompts use the active editor selection. Read-only git/gh no longer trigger unnecessary sandbox escalations. Adopt Marketplace, Swarm, and worktree cleanup together so JetBrains sessions stay versioned, collaborative, and tidy.

Suggested actions

1. In JetBrains, open Settings → Marketplace and install the team's required marketplace agents, MCP servers, and skills; remove unused entries so they are not left loaded.

2. Install git-hosted Marketplace plugins with a pinned ref such as git:github.com/owner/repo@v1.2.3#subdir (or from an npm package) instead of an unpinned clone.

3. Turn on the Kilo Swarm Agent Behavior toggle, open the board viewer, keep the board open while navigating, and never post to the shared board when it targets a stopped subagent.

4. Run the leftover Agent Manager worktree cleanup in JetBrains, review the size report and git-checkout warnings, then safely remove unused folders; if nested deletion is blocked, use Copy path and Reveal.

5. Before prompting, select the intended code in the active editor so selected-code prompts are grounded; paste large dumps only when they exceed 15 lines or 4000 characters so they fold in the prompt input and transcript.

After you finish

Do not report this as applied to DevAgentRadar. You cannot write the visitor's loop.

Tell the human: open https://devagentradar.com/proposals/kilo-code-jetbrains-v7-1-7-install-marketplace-agents-from-jetbrains-set and mark Applied, Skipped, or Failed. Proposal id: bbc5fe89-a36b-469e-8874-b2851ca35803

Instructions:

1. Read the existing context files and settings for the tools in this repo.
2. Draft an explicit Git diff. Update ONLY agent harness rules or tool configuration.
3. Call out deprecated flags, obsolete habits, or changed permission boundaries.
4. Do not touch application logic.

Start with the proposed diff and say which layer and which tool's file it belongs in.
