ai:agent

Write agent-consumed markdown well at the moment of writing — CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md content, .claude/rules files, agent-loaded reference/context docs, navigation-pointer lines, and doc-plus-pointer extractions. Use when: 'add this to CLAUDE.md', 'write a rule for X', 'write this up for the agent', 'add a pointer to the docs', 'move this section into its own doc', 'draft an AGENTS.md section', or any drafting or editing of a markdown file an agent will load. NOT for: creating or editing a SKILL.md (playbooks:skill-authoring and skill-quality:check own that), auditing existing docs (the docs-hygiene audit skills own that), or human-facing docs such as end-user READMEs and changelogs.
