 # Checks the CLAUDE.md card against the card spec (documentation/claude-card.md in cosyte/config:
-# Gate, Hazard and Rules, within its line, width and byte limits) and every pointer into agent notes.
-# Both checkers are commands of `@cosyte/script-utils`, run through npx at the exact version below,

 Run these from the repository root, in this order, before you push:
 
 1. The shared gates, at the version the workflows pin:
-   `npx -y @cosyte/script-utils@0.1.4 no-emdash`, then the same with `claude-card` and
-   `agent-notes` in place of `no-emdash`.
+   `npx -y @cosyte/script-utils@0.1.4 no-emdash`, then the same with `claude-card` in place of
+   `no-emdash`.
 2. In every starter, `npm ci`, then `npm test`. CI lists the starters this way:
    `git ls-files -- '*/package.json' | awk -F/ 'NF == 2 { print $1 }'`
 3. Step 2 again on Node 22, the floor, for each starter the change touches:
