Summary

  • Adds a root-only AGENTS.md (P2·3 step 4) — the repo-owned agent-orientation file the standards-sync design calls for.
  • Deliberately thin: cites README.md for repository shape, ownership boundaries, and validation commands rather than restating them (this repo's own cite-don't-duplicate discipline), and adds only what's genuinely agent-specific and not described elsewhere — the dogfooding expectation, the fresh-authoring-never-ported rule for review criteria, the .claude/ staging hazard, and PR mechanics.
  • States the root-only placement rationale: Codex concatenates every AGENTS.md it finds rather than nearest-wins-overriding, so a nested copy would compound instructions instead of scoping them.

Test plan

  • lefthook pre-commit (typos, gitleaks, editorconfig, markdownlint) — passed locally.
  • CI green (markdown lint, lychee, review bot).

Repo-owned agent-orientation file per the agents.md convention.
Cites README.md for shape/ownership/commands rather than restating
them, and states the root-only placement rationale (Codex
concatenates AGENTS.md files rather than nearest-wins-overriding, so
a nested copy would compound rather than scope).

## Summary

- Adds a root-only `AGENTS.md` (P2·3 step 4) — the repo-owned
agent-orientation file the standards-sync design calls for.
- Deliberately thin: cites `README.md` for repository shape, ownership
boundaries, and validation commands rather than restating them (this
repo's own cite-don't-duplicate discipline), and adds only what's
genuinely agent-specific and not described elsewhere — the dogfooding
expectation, the fresh-authoring-never-ported rule for review criteria,
the `.claude/` staging hazard, and PR mechanics.
- States the root-only placement rationale: Codex concatenates every
`AGENTS.md` it finds rather than nearest-wins-overriding, so a nested
copy would compound instructions instead of scoping them.

## Test plan

- [x] `lefthook` pre-commit (typos, gitleaks, editorconfig,
markdownlint) — passed locally.
- [ ] CI green (markdown lint, lychee, review bot).
