+# DeepWork - Agent Instructions
+
+This file contains critical instructions for AI agents working on this codebase.
+
+## CRITICAL: Job Type Classification
+
+When creating or modifying jobs in this repository, you MUST understand which type of job you are working with. There are exactly **three types of jobs**, each with a specific location and purpose.
+
+### 1. Standard Jobs (`src/deepwork/standard_jobs/`)
+
+**What they are**: Core jobs that are part of the DeepWork framework itself. These get automatically installed to every target repository when users run `deepwork install`.
+
+**Location**: `src/deepwork/standard_jobs/[job_name]/`
+
+**Current standard jobs**:
+- `deepwork_jobs` - Core job management (define, implement, learn)
+- `deepwork_rules` - Rules enforcement system
+
+**Editing rules**:
+- Source of truth is ALWAYS in `src/deepwork/standard_jobs/`
+- NEVER edit the installed copies in `.deepwork/jobs/` directly
+- After editing, run `deepwork install --platform claude` to sync
+
+### 2. Library Jobs (`library_jobs/`)
+
+**What they are**: Example or reusable jobs that any repository is welcome to use, but are NOT auto-installed. Users must explicitly copy or import these into their projects.
+
+**Location**: `library_jobs/[job_name]/`
+
+**Examples** (potential):
+- Competitive research workflows
+- Code review processes
+- Documentation generation
+- Release management
+
+**Editing rules**:
+- Edit directly in `library_jobs/[job_name]/`
+- These are templates/examples for users to adopt
+- Should be well-documented and self-contained
+
+### 3. Bespoke/Repo Jobs (`.deepwork/jobs/`)
+
+**What they are**: Jobs that are ONLY for this specific repository (the DeepWork repo itself). These are not distributed to users and exist only for internal development workflows.
+
+**Location**: `.deepwork/jobs/[job_name]/` (but NOT if the job also exists in `src/deepwork/standard_jobs/`)
+
+**Identifying bespoke jobs**: A job in `.deepwork/jobs/` is bespoke ONLY if it does NOT have a corresponding directory in `src/deepwork/standard_jobs/`.
+
+**Editing rules**:
+- Edit directly in `.deepwork/jobs/[job_name]/`
+- These are private to this repository
+- Run `deepwork sync` after changes to regenerate skills
+
+## IMPORTANT: When Creating New Jobs
+
+Before creating any new job, you MUST determine which type it should be. **If there is any ambiguity**, ask the user a structured question to clarify:
+
+```
+Which type of job should this be?
+1. Standard Job - Part of the DeepWork framework, auto-installed to all users
+2. Library Job - Reusable example that users can optionally adopt
+3. Bespoke Job - Only for this repository's internal workflows
+```
+
+### Decision Guide
+
+| Question | If Yes → |
+|----------|----------|
+| Should this be installed automatically when users run `deepwork install`? | Standard Job |
+| Is this a reusable pattern that other repos might want to copy? | Library Job |
+| Is this only useful for developing DeepWork itself? | Bespoke Job |

 6. **No Auto-Commit**: DO NOT automatically commit changes to git. Let the user review and commit changes themselves.
 7. **Documentation Sync**: CRITICAL - When making implementation changes, always update `doc/architecture.md` and `README.md` to reflect those changes. The architecture document must stay in sync with the actual codebase (terminology, file paths, structure, behavior, etc.).

+### How to Identify Job Types
 
-Standard jobs are defined in `src/deepwork/standard_jobs/`. Currently:
-- `deepwork_jobs` - Core job management commands (define, implement, refine)
-- `deepwork_rules` - Rules enforcement system
+- **Standard jobs**: Exist in `src/deepwork/standard_jobs/` (currently: `deepwork_jobs`, `deepwork_rules`)
+- **Library jobs**: Exist in `library_jobs/`
+- **Bespoke jobs**: Exist ONLY in `.deepwork/jobs/` with no corresponding standard_jobs entry
 
-If a job exists in `src/deepwork/standard_jobs/`, it is a standard job and MUST be edited there.
+**When creating a new job, always clarify which type it should be.** If uncertain, ask the user.
