Deriving agent coding rules from classic software design books

Coding teams extract principles from canonical software engineering books such as Clean Code, Refactoring, Domain-Driven Design, Clean Architecture, and Designing Data-Intensive Applications, and encode them as rule or skill files that coding agents load automatically, for example AGENTS.md or Cursor rules. This gives agents a shared, book-grounded style guide instead of ad hoc or purely repo-specific conventions.
