[Scenario 4: Developer Productivity with Claude] You are building developer productivity tooling on the Claude Agent SDK: helping engineers explore unfamiliar codebases, understand legacy systems, generate boilerplate, and automate repetitive tasks — using the built-in tools (Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob) plus MCP servers.

You must decide where two things live: (1) the team's universal coding standards that should shape every session, and (2) a multi-step release-notes workflow used a few times per month. What is the correct placement?
