What

Adds the org-wide AI agent instruction baseline files (AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md) to this repository.

Why

These files provide consistent architectural guidance to AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and others) working in this codebase. They codify b.well's architecture standards, design principles, security requirements, and testing discipline so agents produce code aligned with platform conventions.

What These Files Do

  • AGENTS.md: Universal baseline read by GitHub Copilot (native since Aug 2025), Cursor, Windsurf, Aider, and other tools. Sets the floor for architecture, SOLID principles, distributed systems patterns, security, testing, and operational standards.
  • CLAUDE.md: Symlink to AGENTS.md (Claude Code compatibility).

Relationship to Existing Instructions

If this repo already has .github/copilot-instructions.md, that file is unchanged. It provides repo-specific context (service identity, commands, domain details) that extends the org-wide baseline. AGENTS.md sets the floor; repo-level files add specifics.

Governance

These files are owned by Enterprise Architecture. Changes require EA review (CODEOWNERS enforced).

Status

This is a DRAFT PR. EA is currently validating instruction files in pilot repositories. This PR will be marked ready for review after validation completes.
