docs: add AGENTS.md for universal AI agent support#30
Merged
Conversation
- 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. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Jared Scott <jared.scott@variable.team>

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.
- Adds AGENTS.md with essential repository context for all AI coding agents
- 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
