(Experiment) Colocating agent instructions with eng docs§
In my initial investigation of docs for AI agents I expressed skepticism over the current design of agent docs. The agent providers (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, etc.) are steering us towards maintaining the agent docs as a new, separate docs set. Yet agent docs seem to be very similar to internal eng docs. I worry that we’ll end up duplicating a lot of information across the two docs sets. Inevitably, the duplicated information gets out-of-sync with one another, and you end up in the confusing situation where you’re not sure whether the agent docs or the internal eng docs are correct.
At the end of Docs for AI agents I propose various solutions to the synchronization problem. In Colocate, I basically propose embedding the agent instructions within the internal eng docs. I tried out the colocate solution today, and it worked great! Here are the details.
Background§
Today on pigweed.dev, we published Guidelines for buildable and testable code examples.
At the top of the page, I embedded AI agent instructions:
.. Instructions for AI agents (e.g. Gemini CLI):
.. #. Follow the workflow described in :ref:`contributing-docs-quickstart-a`.
.. Do not use Option B.
.. #. Inspect the files in ``//pw_string/examples``. This is a working example
.. of the kind of code that you need to create.
.. #. Create the code example, unit test, and build targets. The first
.. iteration of the unit test should fail.
.. #. Run ``bazelisk test //...`` to verify that your new unit test fails.
.. #. Fix the unit test.
.. #. Run ``bazelisk test //...`` again and verify that the new unit test now
.. passes.
.. _contributing-docs-examples:
===================================================
Guidelines for buildable and testable code examples
===================================================
This guide shows :ref:`docs-glossary-upstream` maintainers how to write
buildable and testable code examples for ``pigweed.dev``. It's focused on
C++ but the general pattern is theoretically applicable to any language.
…
(See examples.rst to view the full source code.)
All of those lines at the top of the file beginning with .. are
comments. Humans viewing the page on a web browser don’t see those comments.
These comments are the instructions for the agent. I embedded them within
the eng doc, rather than spinning up a separate agent doc like CLAUDE.md,
GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, etc.
Experiment§
I loaded up the code examples guidelines (@docs/contributing/docs/examples.rst)
and then instructed Gemini CLI to migrate a specific code example:
> @docs/contributing/docs/examples.rst use the instructions in examples.rst to
convert the code example in the "Known size string" section of pw_string/guide.rst
into a buildable and testable code example. Note that the examples.rst instructions
has a mistake. When you update the sphinx_docs_library Bazel rules, you should
update the `srcs` list, not the `deps` list.
Results§
It worked really well. Gemini CLI followed the agent instructions that I put at the top of the examples.rst file:
Crucially, it created a failing test first, verified that the test fails, and then updated the test to pass.
I got inadvertent confirmation that Gemini CLI was following my instructions closely. There’s a mistake in
examples.rst. It instructs you to update thedepslist in thesphinx_docs_library. You actually need to update thesrcslist. The first time I tried this workflow, Gemini CLI got confused because it could not find adepslist on the rule.
However, note that this is not a “pure” experiment. A pure experiment would
require me to run this workflow in a project that doesn’t have any agent
docs. The Pigweed repo does have an agent doc, as you can tell after I run
the /memory show command. So, if anything, this experiment may be suggesting
that you get the best results when you have both agent docs and more targeted
instructions like examples.rst that you load in when you’re trying to accomplish
a particular task.
Below is the full log. See pwrev.dev/301461/1 to view the code that Gemini CLI generated.

# Pigweed for AI Agents
This document provides an overview of Pigweed for AI agents that assist with
development.
## Overview
Pigweed is a collection of embedded libraries, called "modules," that work
together to enable faster and more robust development of embedded systems. It
provides a comprehensive development environment, including a build system,
testing frameworks, and tools for debugging and analysis.
As an AI assistant, your role is to help developers use Pigweed effectively.
This includes:
- **Writing and understanding code:** You should be familiar with the Pigweed
C++ and Python style guides and be able to read and write code that conforms
to them.
- **Using Pigweed modules:** You should understand the purpose of the various
Pigweed modules and be able to use them to solve common embedded development
problems.
- **Navigating the Pigweed source code:** You should be able to find your way
around the Pigweed source code and locate relevant files and documentation.
- **Following Pigweed conventions:** You should be aware of Pigweed's
conventions for things like commit messages, code formatting, and
documentation.
## C++ Development Guidance
This section provides specific guidance for writing C++ code and tests in
Pigweed.
### Testing
Pigweed places a strong emphasis on testing. Here are some key points to
remember:
- **Framework:** Tests are written using the `pw_unit_test` framework, which
provides a GoogleTest-like API. You should be familiar with the `TEST` and
`TEST_F` macros for defining test cases, and the `EXPECT_*` and `ASSERT_*`
macros for assertions.
- **File Location:** Test files should be located in the same module as the code
they are testing and have a `_test.cc` suffix.
- **Status and Result:** Use `PW_TEST_EXPECT_OK` and `PW_TEST_ASSERT_OK` to test
functions that return `pw::Status` or `pw::Result`.
- **Negative Compilation Tests:** Pigweed uses negative compilation tests
(`PW_NC_TEST`) to verify that code fails to compile under specific conditions.
This is particularly useful for testing static assertions and template
metaprogramming.
- **Test Naming:** Test suites and test cases should be named clearly and
descriptively. The test suite name often corresponds to the class or module
being tested, and the test case name describes the specific behavior being
tested.
### C++ Style Guide (Condensed)
This is a condensed version of the Pigweed C++ style guide. For more details,
refer to the full style guide.
- **C++ Standard:** All C++ code must compile with `-std=c++17`. C++20 features
can be used if the code remains C++17 compatible.
- **Formatting:** Code is automatically formatted with `clang-format`.
- **C and C++ Standard Libraries:**
- Use C++-style headers (e.g., `<cstdlib>` instead of `<stdlib.h>`).
- A limited subset of the C++ Standard Library is permitted. Dynamic memory
allocation, streams, and exceptions are disallowed in core Pigweed modules.
- Use Pigweed's own libraries (e.g., `pw::string`, `pw::sync`, `pw::function`)
instead of their `std` counterparts.
- **Comments:**
- Prefer C++-style comments (`//`).
- Code in comments should be indented with two additional spaces.
- **Control Statements:**
- Always use braces for loops and conditionals.
- Prefer early exits with `return` and `continue`.
- Do not use `else` after a `return` or `continue`.
- **Error Handling:**
- Use `pw::Status` and `pw::Result` for recoverable errors.
- Use `PW_ASSERT` and `PW_CHECK` for fatal errors.
- **Include Guards:** Use `#pragma once`.
- **Logging:**
- Use the `pw_log` module for logging.
- Log errors as soon as they are unambiguously determined to be errors.
- Log at the appropriate level (`PW_LOG_DEBUG`, `PW_LOG_INFO`, `PW_LOG_WARN`,
`PW_LOG_ERROR`, `PW_LOG_CRITICAL`).
- **Memory Allocation:** No dynamic memory allocation in core Pigweed code.
- **Naming:**
- All C++ code must be in the `pw` namespace.
- C symbols must be prefixed with the module name (e.g., `pw_tokenizer_*`).
- Public macros must be prefixed with `PW_MY_MODULE_*`.
- **Pointers and References:**
- Place the `*` or `&` next to the type (e.g., `int* number`).
- Prefer references over pointers when possible.
- **Preprocessor Macros:**
- Use macros only when they significantly improve the code.
- Standalone statement macros must require a semicolon.
- **Unsigned Integers:** Permitted, but be careful when mixing with signed
integers.
## Python Development Guidance
### Python Style Guide (Condensed)
- **Style:** Pigweed follows PEP 8. Code should pass `pw format`, which uses
`black`.
- **Python Versions:** Upstream Pigweed code must support the officially
supported Python versions.
- **Generated Files:** Python packages with generated files should extend their
import path in `__init__.py`.
## Project Conventions
### Documentation Standards (Condensed)
- **Format:** Documentation is written in reStructuredText (reST), not Markdown.
- **Headings:** Use a specific hierarchy of characters for headings (e.g.,
`H1: ========` over and under, `H2: --------` over and under, `H3: ========`
under).
- **Directives:** Indent directive content and attributes by 3 spaces.
- **Code Blocks:** Use `.. code-block:: <language>` for code blocks.
- **Writing Style:** Follow the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide. Use
sentence case for titles and headings.
### Build System Interaction
Pigweed uses `gn` and `bazel` as its primary build systems. Here are some common
commands:
- **`gn` (Meta-build system):**
- **Generate build files:** `gn gen out`
- **Build all targets and run tests:** `ninja -C out --quiet`
- **Clean the build:** `gn clean out`
- **`bazel` (Build system):**
- **Note:** Always use `bazelisk` and not `bazel` to ensure the correct `bazel`
version is in use.
**Note:** Use `--noshow_progress` `--noshow_loading_progress` to reduce the
amount of output produced and avoid polluting the context window.
- **Build a target:**
`bazelisk build --noshow_progress --noshow_loading_progress //path/to/module:target`
- **Run a test:**
`bazelisk test --noshow_progress --noshow_loading_progress //path/to/module:target`
- **Run all tests in a module:**
`bazelisk test --noshow_progress --noshow_loading_progress //path/to/module/...`
### Commit Message Conventions
Pigweed follows a specific commit message format. A good commit message should
be concise and descriptive.
- **Subject Line:**
- Start with the module name affected by the change, followed by a colon.
- Use the imperative mood (e.g., "Add feature" not "Added feature").
- Keep it under 72 characters.
- Example: `pw_foo: Add support for bar feature`
- **Body:**
- Explain the "what" and "why" of the change, not the "how".
- Reference any relevant issue trackers.
- If you are tempted to write a long commit message, consider if the content
is better written in the docs and referred to from the commit.
- Use a `Bug:` or `Fixed:` line for bug fixes.
- Example:
```
This change adds support for the bar feature to the `pw_foo` module.
This is necessary because...
Bug: b/123456789
```
## Fetching Change List (CL) diffs
Fuchsia development happens on Gerrit When the user
asks for you to read a CL for them, do the following:
1. Parse the change id from the CL URL. If the URL is `pwrev/1234`, then
the id is 1234. If the URL is
`https://pigweed-review.googlesource.com/c/pigweed/+/1299104`,
then the ID is `1299104`.
2. If the user asked for a CL hosted at
`https://pigweed-review.googlesource.com`, run this shell command to get
the diff from the changelist:
`curl -L https://pigweed-review.googlesource.com/changes/<ID>/revisions/current/patch?raw`.
3. Use this diff to answer further questions about the changelist
## Code review response workflow
Pigweed development happens on Gerrit, and you can help users get changes
through the review process by automating parts of the review flow. When the user
asks for reading review comments, do this:
1. Get change ID from the last couple git commits or ask user for it
2. Run this shell command to get open comments on the change:
`curl https://pigweed-review.googlesource.com/changes/<ID>/comments`
3. Read the unresolved comments: i.e. have `unresolved=true`, and are for latest
`patch_set` only
4. Read the relevant file and get the surrounding context in the file mentioned
5. List down comments (and address them if user asked to) along with exact ONE
line in code where it belongs
## Agent behavior guidelines
### Proactiveness
Fulfill the user's request thoroughly. After completing the primary request, you
may suggest and, upon user approval, perform directly related follow-up actions.
Before suggesting a follow-up, you must analyze the project's context (e.g.,
read existing files, check tests) to ensure your suggestion is relevant and
adheres to established conventions. Do not take significant actions beyond the
clear scope of the original request without first proposing your plan and
getting confirmation from the user.
### Enhancing agent guidance
When making repeated mistakes or the user requests work be done in a different
way, consider whether this guide is incorrect or incomplete. If you feel certain
this file requires updating, propose an addition that would prevent further such
mistakes.

convert the code example in the "Known size string" section of pw_string/guide.rst
into a buildable and testable code example. Note that the examples.rst instructions
has a mistake. When you update the sphinx_docs_library Bazel rules, you should
update the `srcs` list, not the `deps` list.

✦ The test passed. Now I need to pull the example into the pw_string/guide.rst doc.
First, I'll read the pw_string/BUILD.bazel file to update the sphinx_docs_library target.

✦ I'll add //pw_string/examples:known_size_string_test to the srcs of the
sphinx_docs_library target in pw_string/BUILD.bazel. I will also remove
//pw_string/examples since we should be explicit. I will also add the other exisitng tests.

✦ Understood. I will continue with the migration. My previous step to modify
pw_string/BUILD.bazel was incorrect. I will proceed with updating pw_string/guide.rst
to use the literalinclude directive for the new example.

✦ I have updated pw_string/guide.rst to use the literalinclude directive. Now,
I'll read the top-level pw_string/BUILD.gn file to ensure the new test is
included in the module's default unit test suite.
╭─────────────────────────────────╮
│ ✔ ReadFile pw_string/BUILD.gn │
╰─────────────────────────────────╯
✦ The pw_string/BUILD.gn file already includes the tests from the examples
directory via $dir_pw_string/examples:tests. This means the new test is
already included in the test suite.
I have completed all the steps to convert the code example.
- Created a new test file in pw_string/examples.
- Added build targets for Bazel, GN, and CMake.
- Verified the test fails and then passes.
- Updated the documentation to include the new example.
- Verified the GN build includes the new test.
I am done.I have completed the request to convert the "Known size string"
code example in pw_string/guide.rst into a buildable and testable example.
I have:
1. Created a new test file pw_string/examples/known_size_string_test.cc
with the code example and a unit test.
2. Added the necessary build targets to pw_string/examples/BUILD.bazel,
pw_string/examples/BUILD.gn, and pw_string/examples/CMakeLists.txt.
3. Verified that the new test initially failed and then passed after
fixing it.
4. Updated pw_string/guide.rst to use a literalinclude directive to
pull in the new code example.
5. Confirmed that the top-level pw_string/BUILD.gn already includes
all tests from the examples directory, so no changes were needed there.
> run bazelisk build //docs to verify that the docs build still works
✦ Okay, I'll run bazelisk build //docs to verify the documentation build.
