Add remote directory support via go-getter for rules and tasks

[Copilot]

Enables loading rules and tasks from remote directories using HashiCorp's go-getter library, allowing teams to share coding standards across projects without duplication.

Changes

go-getter Integration

• Integrated go-getter library for downloading remote directories
• Supports multiple protocols: Git (git::), HTTP/HTTPS, S3 (s3::), and file://
• Remote directories are downloaded to temporary locations and cleaned up after execution
• All standard directory structures supported (.agents/rules, .agents/tasks, etc.)

CLI Flags

• -d <url> - Remote directory containing rules and tasks (repeatable, supports various protocols)
• -r - Resume mode flag (original behavior maintained)

Features

• Bootstrap scripts work in downloaded remote directories
• Full feature parity with local directories
• Supports Git branches, tags, commits, and subdirectories
• Can combine multiple remote sources with local rules

Example

# Clone from Git repository
coding-context-cli \
  -d git::https://github.com/company/shared-rules.git \
  fix-bug

# Use specific branch or tag
coding-context-cli \
  -d 'git::https://github.com/company/standards.git?ref=v1.0' \
  implement-feature

# Multiple remote sources
coding-context-cli \
  -d git::https://github.com/company/standards.git \
  -d https://cdn.company.com/rules.tar.gz \
  fix-bug

Remote and local directories combine normally. Downloads happen on each invocation using go-getter's efficient protocols.

Original prompt

Currently this works on local files. What about working on a remote file system of some kind?

Let's have the remote path be -r. It should point to a remote directory of rules and tasks.

@copilot Please use the go-getter library.

Changed in commit 9947bb6. The -r flag now points to remote directories containing rules and tasks. The resume mode flag has been moved to -resume to avoid conflict.

@copilot Please use the go-getter library.

Implemented in commit 9947bb6. Now using go-getter library which supports multiple protocols (git::, http://, https://, s3::, file://, etc.). Remote directories are downloaded to temp locations and searched just like local directories.

@copilot Let's use -d and keep -r for resume.

@copilot Let's use -d and keep -r for resume.

Changed in commit 7e879b9. The -d flag is now used for remote directories and -r is restored for resume mode.
