What

Add a self-contained AGENTS.md (and CLAUDE.md pointer) at the repository root, serving as the single source of truth for AI coding agents working in this submodule.

Why

Cross-tool agent guidance (Codex, Copilot CLI, Cursor, Claude, Antigravity) needs a single canonical entry point. AGENTS.md is the cross-vendor convention — natively recognized by Codex/Copilot CLI; other tools point to it via thin pointer files.

Self-contained

The file does not reference any path outside this submodule. All cardinal rules (wire-format fidelity, key-handling, commit conventions, agent attribution, language policy) are inlined.

Language

English-only, except for one literal Chinese template string in code formatting that AI agents are required to emit verbatim in PR/Issue bodies.

The file is fully self-contained (no references to files outside this

Cross-vendor: AGENTS.md is the native format for Codex, Copilot CLI;
CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/main.mdc, and .github/copilot-instructions.md
all point to AGENTS.md.

Copilot AI review requested due to automatic review settings May 12, 2026 20:59
Add a standard ignore block for AI/agent local caches, configs, and
scratch files (.claude/, .codex/, .cursor/, .antigravity/, .aider*,
.continue/, .roo/, .windsurf/, .copilot/, AGENTS.local.md, etc.).

The committed SSoT files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/agents/) remain
tracked — only ad-hoc local agent state is ignored.

Pull request overview

Adds a repository-root, self-contained guidance document for AI coding agents (AGENTS.md) and a thin pointer file for Claude (CLAUDE.md) to centralize cross-tool agent instructions for this SDK.

Changes:

  • Add AGENTS.md as the intended single source of truth for agent conventions, quality gates, and safety rules.
  • Add CLAUDE.md to redirect to AGENTS.md.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 3 changed files in this pull request and generated 3 comments.

File Description
CLAUDE.md Adds a pointer directing Claude to read AGENTS.md.
AGENTS.md Adds centralized agent guidance, repo description, workflow commands, and conventions.

AGENTS.md:56

  • Quality gates reference npm run lint (eslint) and npm test (vitest), but the repo currently has no lint script and tests are executed via node --test (see package.json scripts). Consider updating these bullets to reflect the actual gates enforced in this repo.
- `npm run lint` passes (eslint clean)
- `npm run typecheck` passes (no `any` regressions in public types)
- `npm test` passes (vitest)
- `npm run build` produces a clean `dist/` with type declarations
- New public API has unit tests + a README usage example

* spec: align address format to 0x 64-char hex 32-byte

- Rewrite address.ts: BLAKE3(algo_id||pk) → 32 bytes, 0x hex display
- Remove bech32m/pq1 encoding; no version byte
- Rename: bytesToShellAddress, shellAddressToBytes, deriveShellAddressFromPublicKey, isShellAddress, normalizeShellAddress
- Keep legacy pq* aliases (deprecated) for callers during transition
- system-contracts.ts: system addresses now 32-byte big-endian (matching shell-chain)
- Update all src/*.ts: imports, comments, pq1 examples → 0x
- index.ts: export new Shell* names + legacy aliases

* docs: fix system-contracts table, address exports, and error messages

Address three Copilot review comments on PR ShellDAO#17:

1. Fix malformed system-contracts table (3-column header with 2-column
   rows) — collapse to a clean 2-column Name/Address table with full
   32-byte literal addresses.

2. Fix normalizeShellAddress error example (lines 206, 737) to match
   the actual thrown message: 'expected 0x + 64-char hex address, got: …'

3. Fix system-contracts module reference: remove the non-existent
   validatorRegistryHexAddress / accountManagerHexAddress entries;
   document only the actual exports (validatorRegistryAddress /
   accountManagerAddress) with their full 32-byte canonical values;
   update the isSystemContractAddress example to use a 32-byte address.

Also fix stale error message in the error-handling table:
'expected 20 address bytes' → 'expected 32 address bytes' to match
address.ts:37.

* test: update fixtures and assertions for v0.23.0 0x address format

Replace all pq1/Bech32m address references in test fixtures and
assertions with valid 0x + 64-char hex Shell addresses. Update
keystore fixture address fields to match BLAKE3-derived canonical
addresses. Fix tampered-address test to produce a valid 64-char
hex address before mutation so the keystore address-mismatch guard
is exercised (not the format validator). Update rust-compat fixture
pq_address and transaction hash vectors for 32-byte address encoding.

* docs: align README and PQTx comments with PQVM-native design (ShellDAO#18)

* docs: replace EVM-compatible headline; clarify PQTx fee-field comments

- README: PQVM-native chain description
- src/transactions.ts: EIP-1559-style fee fields (not claiming ECDSA-based signing),
  Shell chain ID label instead of EIP-155, removed bare EIP-1559 and EIP-155 labels

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* docs(transactions): address review comments — standardize chainId/fee-field JSDoc

- Standardize chainId description to 'EIP-155 chain ID (Shell Chain)' in
  BuildTransactionOptions (was 'Shell chain ID'), matching all other helpers
- Remove '-style' suffix from EIP-1559 fee field docs in BuildTransactionOptions
  for consistency with DEFAULT_MAX_FEE_PER_GAS / DEFAULT_MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_PER_GAS
- Add '(scaffolded; not enforced by the chain)' note to maxFeePerGas and
  maxPriorityFeePerGas fields to clarify gas fields are present in encoding
  but not yet active on-chain
- Update DEFAULT_TX_TYPE comment to explain fee-field scaffolding intent

* docs(sdk): scrub stale pq1 bech32m mentions from README/examples

Remove stale documentation and example references that implied pq1 bech32m was a valid current render.

Current v0.23.0-compatible APIs use BLAKE3-derived 32-byte Shell addresses rendered as 0x + 64 lowercase hex; deprecated Pq* aliases remain for API compatibility.
