Summary

  • Add AGENTS.md following the agents.md standard for universal AI agent support
  • Update CLAUDE.md to reference AGENTS.md as the foundation layer
  • Remove duplicated content from CLAUDE.md to avoid redundancy

What is in Each File

AGENTS.md (All AI Agents) CLAUDE.md (Claude-Specific)
Critical constraints Architecture deep-dives
Essential commands Build system internals
Repository layout Code patterns and examples
Commit conventions Extended troubleshooting
Common pitfalls Key principles

Why

The agents.md standard (https://agents.md) is emerging as a convention for providing AI coding agents with repository context. By adopting it:

  • Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and 20+ other AI tools can now work effectively with this repository
  • Claude Code gets enhanced context from both AGENTS.md (basics) and CLAUDE.md (deep-dives)
  • Maintainability improves by having one source of truth for universal constraints

Test plan

  • Verify AGENTS.md renders correctly on GitHub
  • Verify CLAUDE.md links to AGENTS.md work
  • Test with different AI tools (optional)

Generated with Claude Code

- Create AGENTS.md following the agents.md standard
- Update CLAUDE.md to reference AGENTS.md as foundation
- Remove duplicated content from CLAUDE.md (constraints, basic commands)
- AGENTS.md covers: critical constraints, essential commands, repo layout,
  commit conventions, and common pitfalls (~230 lines)
- CLAUDE.md now focuses on extended content: architecture deep-dives,
  build system internals, code patterns, and troubleshooting

This enables Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and other AI tools to work effectively
with this repository while Claude Code gets enhanced context from both files.

Pull request overview

This PR adopts the agents.md standard (https://agents.md) to provide universal AI agent support while maintaining Claude-specific deep-dive documentation.

  • Refactors CLAUDE.md to reference AGENTS.md as the foundation layer and focus on Claude-specific extended guidance
  • Eliminates content duplication by establishing a clear hierarchy between universal constraints and Claude-specific deep-dives
