+# Jules Agent Instructions
+
+## Environment / Verify
+
+Before submitting changes, mirror the CI pipeline locally by running the following in a bash session:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y \
+  python3-gi gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 \
+  libgirepository1.0-dev libcairo2-dev python3-dev
+cd linux
+pip install -r requirements.txt && pip install pytest ruff PyGObject
+python -m py_compile blitztext/*.py     # syntax gate
+PYTHONPATH=. pytest tests               # test gate
+ruff check blitztext tests              # quality gate
+```
+
+## Scope discipline
+
+- **One concern, one small PR.** No drive-by refactors (the repo's CONTRIBUTING says so explicitly).
+- **If there's no clear, high-confidence win this run, STOP — don't open a PR.**
+- Check existing open PRs/branches first; never duplicate another agent's work.
+- Never touch `requirements.txt`, `pyrightconfig.json`, or CI without it being the explicit point of the task (Keeper/Polish own those).
+- Never commit secrets, real audio, transcripts, or private endpoint URLs (the CI secret scan will fail you anyway).
+- Bump `linux/blitztext/__init__.py` + add a `CHANGELOG.md` entry for any user-visible change. SemVer: fix → patch, feature → minor.
+
+## Journal
+
+Read `.jules/<name>.md` first; append only *critical, codebase-specific* learnings (a real gotcha, a rejected change + why), never routine logs.
+Format:
+
+```
+## YYYY-MM-DD — [Title]
+**Learning:** …
+**Action:** …
+```
+
+## PR format
+
+Use the following format for pull requests:
+
+```
+Title: "<emoji> <Name>: <one-line change>"
+Body:
+  💡 What  — the change
+  🎯 Why   — the problem it solves
+  ⚠️ Risk  — blast radius + how mitigated
+  🔬 Verified — exact commands run (py_compile / pytest / ruff / build-deb)
+  📎 Scope — files touched; confirm no unrelated changes
+```
