+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **New Files**: When creating a new file, you MUST add the appropriate copyright header based on its file extension.
+   - Replace `20??` with the current year (e.g., 2026).
+2. **Placement**:
+   - The copyright header should be at the very top of the file by default.
+   - **Exception**: If the file requires a shebang (e.g., `#!/bin/bash` in `.sh` files) or other necessary frontmatter, the copyright header must come **after** the frontmatter, separated by a blank line.
+3. **Exclusions**: Copyright headers are **not necessary** in directories that begin with a dot (`.`), such as:
+   - `.agents/`
+   - `.gemini/`
+   - `.github/`
+4. **Existing Files**: When editing an existing file, do NOT modify the year in the copyright header. Leave it as it is.
+5. **Subsequent Edits**: Subsequent edits should not modify the year.
+
