How Agent Guides Fail Without Source Backing: A Field-Level Breakdown
Agent guides that lack source backing produce instructions agents cannot verify, leading to silent drift, broken CI, and unsafe automation decisions.

Keep Coding Agent Prompt Registries Consistent With Drift Checks
Coding agents read instruction files — AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, and memory files — to understand what tools, workflows, and conventions are available. When those files drift from the actual runtime environment, agents make confidently wrong decisions. This guide explains what prompt registry drift is, how it appears across popular agent runtimes, and how to detect and prevent it with CI-backed drift checks.
