[t3dotgg]

Agents in t3code spend most of their turns before the first edit finding code. Each new session starts cold and reads the same areas again.

This adds 1 to 3 entry points per area to "Where code lives" in AGENTS.md, so a new agent opens the right files first. It also points script lookups at "Verifying".

Deliberate exception: the Documentation section says not to keep file catalogs. This is a short list of hubs to start from, not a catalog. Please decide if you want to keep it.

Measured baseline

CLIProxyAPI capture data, Claude sessions in t3code. Last 28 days (n=456), before the first edit: p50 22.5 tool calls (19 reads or searches), 23 model requests, 4.0 minutes. p90 is 67 calls and 22 minutes. 32% of sessions read a package.json before the first edit.

Share of sessions that read each path before the first edit, last 14 days (n=270):

Directory	Sessions	File	Sessions
apps/server/src	66%	apps/server/src/ws.ts	17%
apps/web/src	52%	apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts	17%

Notes

• AGENTS.md grows by 1,460 bytes, from 21,463 to 22,923. The Codex limit is 32 KiB.
• Every path in the new text exists on main. Orchestrator.ts is not repeated, because "How it works" already names it.
• Most provider adapters live in packages/provider-*/src/server/adapter.ts, not in orchestration-v2/Adapters/, so the map names that pattern too.
• packages/shared has no hub file, so its bullet stays as it was.

Open questions

• The brief said AGENTS.md is 21,229 bytes on main. It was 21,372 at 7ffc3bb7e8 and is 21,463 after #22764. Default: I counted the 1,500 byte budget from current main.
• packages/shared and docs/internals have no single hub file. Default: no entry points for them. docs/internals/overview.md is already linked from "How it works".

Re-measure

7 days after merge, Theo runs the first-edit-weekly and read-paths saved queries from the fleet cliproxy-data skill and compares them with the baseline above.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description clearly explains the motivation, proposed change, baseline data, and planned post-merge measurement. It does not provide the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It also omits a triaged issue or maintainer approval, and it does not report focused checks with observed results.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the required section headings. Add the relevant issue or explicit maintainer approval, or explain why this focused documentation change qualifies for an exception. Describe the verification performed, including checks that confirm the referenced paths exist and any limitations. Retain the baseline and post-merge measurement plan under the appropriate sections. Include the agent model and harness as the final line if an agent was used.
