 ## Overview
 This document provides step-by-step instructions for AI agents to help migrate the CongenitalOptimist machine from traditional NixOS configuration to flakes-based configuration and upgrade to NixOS 25.05. The system already has excellent modular structure that we'll preserve and enhance.
 
+## General instructions
+This document is to be treated as an iterative work and a collaberation.
+
+## Goal for this file
+Top part reusable instructions that can be transferred to other project and as away to iterativey make ai agent behave more like I prefer.
+Bottom part should have information specific to the project.
+The Plan.md file should have the project information and steps.
+
+
+## Programming Languages and styles
+- Prefer functional style
+- Guille scheme for 
+- Python for ai and when guile 
+- Bash only for short scripts
+- Typescript and javascript for web 
+- Rust for binary tools etc
+
+## Written language and style
+use Notes.md to take notes . 
+Use a casual but knowledgeable tone. This is not a corporate project there are no audits or compliance to adhere to.
+More like an open source project, more like a hobby/passion project
+
+# Bottom part 
+itreative about the project update often
