+# Agent Instructions
+
+## Selfimprove
+
+This repository uses the global `selfimprovemeta` MCP. While working here,
+record concrete tool friction with `record_friction` as it happens. Include
+`caller_agent`, `project_slug = "gptqueue"`, and a queue/session id when one is
+available.
+
+If the MCP is unavailable, append the same record shape to
+`~/.selfimprovemeta/friction.md`.
