I have noticed the repository lacks CONTRIBUTING.md. If you want to set some rules about contributing, I would have added them there, instead of creating a Markdown file specific for agents. I'm very much of the philosophy that you should write documentation for humans, which has the added bonus that it will also be consumed by agents.
