+# systemd AI Coding Agent Instructions
+
+## Project Overview
+
+systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, written in C (GNU17 with extensions). The project is built with Meson and consists of ~140 components including PID 1, journald, udevd, networkd, and many other system daemons.
+
+## Key Files & Directories
+
+Always include the following files in the context:
+
+- [code organization details](../docs/ARCHITECTURE.md)
+- [development workflow deep dive](../docs/HACKING.md)
+- [full style guide](../docs/CODING_STYLE.md)
+
+Include any other files from the [documentation](../docs) in the context as needed based on whether you think it might be helpful to solve your current task or help to review the current PR.
+
+## Pull Request review instructions
+
+- Focus on making sure the coding style is followed as documented in `docs/CODING_STYLE.md`
+- Only leave comments for logic issues if you are very confident in your deduction
+- Frame comments as questions
+- Always consider you may be wrong
+- Do not argue with contributors, assume they are right unless you are very confident in your deduction
+
+## Testing Expectations
+
+- Unit tests for self contained functions with few dependencies
+- Integration tests for system-level functionality
+- CI must pass (build + unit + integration tests)
+- Code coverage tracked via Coveralls
+
+## Integration with Development Tools
+
+- **clangd**: Use `mkosi.clangd` script to start a C/C++ LSP server for navigating C source and header files. Run `mkosi -f box -- meson setup build && mkosi -f box -- meson compile -C build gensources` first to prepare the environment.
+
+## AI Contribution Disclosure
+
+Per project policy: If you use AI code generation tools, you **must disclose** this in commit messages and PR descriptions. All AI-generated output requires thorough human review before submission.
