 # Agents (Neon Sprawl)
 
+## Critical GitHub tooling rule
+
+- Agents must use **GitHub MCP** (`user-github`) for all GitHub operations.
+- Agents must **never** use `gh` CLI in this repository.
+- If MCP is unavailable/auth-failed, agents must stop and ask the user (no `gh` fallback).
+
 Optional **personas** for Cursor. Enable by **@ mentioning** the rule in chat or by asking explicitly (e.g. “review this as the code review agent”).
