- [`agent_tools.md`](agent_tools.md) — the built-in tools of Pi, Claude Code,
Codex, OpenCode and Grok Build.
- [`edit_tool.md`](edit_tool.md) — how five agent projects express a localized
edit, and what contract a first Edit tool here should commit to.
- [`read_tool.md`](read_tool.md) — how five agent projects read files, and what

- [`write_tool.md`](write_tool.md) — how five agent projects write whole files,
and why a structured write beats a heredoc.
