Maintaining AGENTS.md

AGENTS.md is the canonical agent-facing documentation. Keep it minimal—agents are capable and don't need hand-holding. Target under 60 lines; never exceed 100. Instruction-following quality degrades as document length increases.

When to Use

• The user asks to create, update, or audit AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.
• The project needs concise, high-signal agent instructions derived from the actual toolchain and repo layout.
• Existing agent documentation is too long, duplicated, or drifting away from real project conventions.

File Setup

1. Create AGENTS.md at project root
2. Create symlink: ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md
