docs(agents): restructure AGENTS.md into a routing core#516ArangoGutierrez wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
AGENTS.md carried setup, build, test, and pull-request mechanics that DEVELOPMENT.md and CONTRIBUTING.md already own, and it linked to neither. Readers and coding agents had two copies of the same rules to keep in step, and the copies had already drifted. Route those sections to the documents that own them, and add the three things the file was missing: an explicit statement of which directories an agent may change on its own and which surfaces need maintainer agreement first, an explicit prohibition on committing credentials, secrets, API keys, tokens, and environment variable values, and preferred-versus-deprecated Go examples for the provider error type and for building the fabric path. Also correct the repository map against the tree: pkg/providers/ gained dsx and nscale, pkg/engines/ gained graph, and internal/ gained kwok, so the engine count is five rather than four. The headings CONTRIBUTING.md deep-links into are preserved, and .claude/CLAUDE.md is updated with the identical body in the same commit, as this repo's own rule requires.

Greptile SummaryThis documentation-only PR restructures the agent guidance into a concise routing core while preserving repository-specific invariants and contribution checklists.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge; the changes since the previous review fully address the provider scope, conditional testing, and nested-document link issues. No actionable new issue remains. The provider scope now includes all checklist-required documentation, tests are required only for behavioral changes, and the Markdown links in Important Files Changed

Keep the agent-scope allowlist consistent with later documentation requirements. The allowlist omits the two agent guides, although later rules require both files to change for new invariants and repository-map changes.

official gh pr create --template option manual
💡 Result:
The command gh pr create provides a --template (or -T) flag, which allows you to specify a local file to use as the starting body text for your pull request [1][2][3]. Usage: gh pr create --template Key details: 1. File Input: The --template flag expects a path to a local file (e.g., "pull_request_template.md") [1][4][2]. 2. Mutual Exclusion: You cannot use the --template flag in combination with the --body or --body-file flags [3]. 3. Purpose: This is particularly useful for automating the creation of pull requests that require a standardized structure or checklist defined in a template file [1][2]. Example: $ gh pr create --template "my_template.md"

🌐 Web query:
site:cli.github.com/manual/gh_pr_create "If the --template flag is not set" pull request template
💡 Result:
When using the GitHub CLI (gh pr create) to create a pull request, the command does not automatically detect or apply repository-based pull request templates if the --template flag is not explicitly set [1]. The --template flag, or its shorthand -T, allows you to specify a local file to use as the starting body text for the pull request [1]. If this flag is omitted, the command will not pull in the.github/pull_request_template.md or similar standard template files automatically [1]. To use a template file, you must provide it explicitly via the command: gh pr create --template "path/to/your/template.md" [1]
Citations:
Update the GitHub CLI template instruction. GitHub UI auto-populates the template, but gh pr create does not apply it automatically. Document gh pr create --template .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, or require manual checklist copying, in both files.

…paths Addresses the Greptile review on NVIDIA#516. The permitted-scope row for a provider named only pkg/providers/<name>/ and the one-line registry entry, while the provider checklist in the same file also requires docs/providers/<name>.md and the docs/overview.md provider list. A new provider page additionally needs a docs/index.yml entry, which the check in .github/workflows/fern-docs-ci.yml fails without. An agent obeying the row alone would file an incomplete contribution that CI rejects, so the row now names those docs. The blanket "ships with tests" also caught documentation and release-note changes, which the same table permits and which cannot carry a meaningful test. It now reads "ships with tests when it changes behavior", matching the pre-push checklist, which asks for coverage of new or changed public behavior. Relative links in .claude/CLAUDE.md resolved from .claude/, not from the repository root: [DEVELOPMENT.md](DEVELOPMENT.md) pointed at .claude/DEVELOPMENT.md, which does not exist. All eight links in that file now carry a ../ prefix. The review named the four in the routing table; the other four are in prose, in the architecture, coding-style, node-labels, and pull-request sections. That last fix makes the two files diverge on those eight lines, deliberately. AGENTS.md sits at the repository root and its links are already correct, so the two bodies can no longer be byte-identical. The sync rule is about content, not byte equality, and a document full of broken links is not in sync with anything, it is broken. Both marker comments now record the divergence and say not to restore it. Signed-off-by: Carlos Eduardo Arango Gutierrez <eduardoa@nvidia.com>

Description
Restructures
AGENTS.mdinto a short routing core that links to the documents which alreadyown each subject, and adds the three things it was missing: what an agent may do, that
secrets must never be committed, and worked examples of preferred versus deprecated patterns.
Part of the OSS Health Scorecard work tracked in #513.

DEVELOPMENT.md, contribution mechanics toCONTRIBUTING.md,component descriptions to
docs/architecture.md, label detail todocs/reference/node-labels.md.surfaces need maintainer discussion first, using the load-bearing surfaces this repo already
names.

returning
*httperr.Errorrather than plainerrorat the provider boundary.Four stale facts in the repository map were corrected against the tree:
pkg/providers/gained
dsxandnscale,pkg/engines/gainedgraph,internal/gainedkwok.What did not move, and why
Six headings stayed verbatim because
CONTRIBUTING.mddeep-links into them, andCONTRIBUTING.md:112namesAGENTS.mdas the source of truth for the provider checklist andthe anti-patterns table. Moving those would have broken inbound links and inverted stated
ownership.
.claude/CLAUDE.mdcarries the byte-identical body, per this repo's own rule that the twostay in sync.
Verification
No information was lost in the restructure: every removed subject was checked to be present
in the document it now points at.
