agents always ingore some major rules in agents rule file after some prompts.
1) Arbeitsmodus und Zusammenarbeit (verbindlich)
- Zuerst wird die Aufgabenstellung erfasst und praezisiert.
- Danach erfolgt die Planung im Dialog mit dem Nutzer.
- Die Umsetzung wird in Phasen unterteilt.
- Die Phasenplanung darf bei Bedarf im Dialog angepasst werden.
- Standardmaessig wird nichts umgesetzt, solange der Nutzer die Umsetzung nicht ausdruecklich anfordert.
- Ohne ausdrueckliche Umsetzungsaufforderung bleiben alle Inhalte Theorie, Analyse und Planung.
- Eine Phase wird nur auf ausdrueckliche Aufforderung des Nutzers umgesetzt.
after about 4-5 prompts, when i start a new phase in the roadmap, it instantly starts the implementation instead of the phase without discussion like in rules defined. when i ask about it it tells me, "yes i was wrong. lets discuss it...."
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019cd784-6999-7a12-bc73-95d8bbe39879
What is the expected behavior?
it keeps closer to the agent rules and wont forget it always... special the first dicsussion, working on details and starting on command not on its own...
Additional information
i want to use it as a tool not to vibe or blind code with it...
similar issue is with the rules tell when i start new phase it have to mark it as in progress... but some times it forgets to mark it as progress...

no duplicate becuase it seems to only apply to the not start instantly and the marking status in roadmap rules...
and the others are more or less active, and when asking the agent knows about it.
English translation:
1) Working Mode and Collaboration (mandatory)
First, the task definition is captured and clarified.
After that, planning takes place in dialogue with the user.
The implementation is divided into phases.
The phase plan may be adjusted in dialogue if necessary.
By default, nothing is implemented as long as the user has not explicitly requested implementation.
Without an explicit request for implementation, all content remains theoretical, analytical, and planning-related.
A phase is only implemented upon the user’s explicit request.
Thanks for the bug report. We'll share the feedback with the team responsible for training our codex models. We're tracking this feedback and similar reports so we can improve future models. And thanks for using the
/feedbackcommand. That additional information is useful.
