Closes #1005

  • AGENTS.md: the former CLAUDE.md content with a tool-neutral intro, so Codex, Copilot, Cursor and CodeRabbit read the same instructions as Claude Code.
  • CLAUDE.md: now a one-line @AGENTS.md import. Keeps the instructions loading on Claude Code < 2.1.277 and for contributors with a CLAUDE.local.md (which otherwise makes Claude skip AGENTS.md). The import never loads the file twice.
  • .coderabbit.yaml and the contributing skill now point to AGENTS.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a central guide to the repository’s structure, development and testing conventions, release process, and code reviews.
    • Updated contributor and repository guidance to point to the new guide.

Warning

This pull request changes a CodeRabbit configuration file. Because it comes from a fork or its author is not a repository collaborator, reviews use only the configuration from the target branch. The proposed configuration will take effect after it is merged.

📝 Walkthrough

Repository guidance now resides in AGENTS.md. CLAUDE.md points to that file, and the contributing skill and CodeRabbit configuration now refer to AGENTS.md.

Changes: Repository guidance migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Move and update repository guidance
AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .claude/skills/contributing/SKILL.md, .coderabbit.yaml
Added repository guidance to AGENTS.md. Replaced the previous CLAUDE.md content with a reference to AGENTS.md, and updated the contributing skill and CodeRabbit configuration to name AGENTS.md.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dc056

Contributors using older Claude Code versions will miss the repository’s commands and coding and testing guidance. Resolve or explicitly accept this compatibility gap before merging.

  • observed — AGENTS.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — CLAUDE.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in AGENTS.md: Added repository guidance covering UI design references, project namespaces and structure, development commands, component patterns, build output, commit and code-style rules, testing and coverage, local-only sibling repositories, prohibited practices, release branches, and review-agent guidance.
  • observed — Modified behavior in CLAUDE.md: CLAUDE.md now points to AGENTS.md; the prior Claude Code guidance covering repository workflows, architecture, conventions, testing, releases, and review rules was removed.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .claude/skills/contributing/SKILL.md: The project-root guidance document to read changed from CLAUDE.md to AGENTS.md.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .coderabbit.yaml: The conventions list now names AGENTS.md instead of CLAUDE.md; the accompanying description is unchanged.

Explanation

Issue #1005 has coding requirements. The diff moves the former 102-line CLAUDE.md guidance into AGENTS.md, changes CLAUDE.md to the one-line @AGENTS.md import, and updates .coderabbit.yaml and .claude/skills/contributing/SKILL.md to reference AGENTS.md. The new introduction is tool-neutral, and the former Claude-specific introduction is removed. No automated tests are needed for this documentation-only migration.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed files support issue #1005. AGENTS.md contains the migrated repository guidance, CLAUDE.md preserves the compatibility import, and the two reference updates point tools and contributors to the new file. The diff shows no unrelated implementation or documentation changes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Do not use an @AGENTS.md import for pre-2.1.277 compatibility.

Claude Code added @path/to/file imports in version 2.1.277. Earlier versions do not load AGENTS.md from CLAUDE.md. Because CLAUDE.md exists, those versions also do not use the automatic AGENTS.md fallback. An applicable CLAUDE.local.md does not change this result.

Affected contributors can miss the repository commands, coding rules, and testing requirements. Replace the import with a complete copy of AGENTS.md and keep both files synchronized.
