Defame1297 e42c055294 refactor(core): retrofit agentsmd-author to the ADR-0020 context contract
Description 960 -> 244 chars, body 470 -> 452 words, Gotchas 36% -> 22%.
Both composition notes move to README.md, which already carried them.

Four of five Gotchas were paraphrases of the step below them and were
deleted with their force folded back into that step. A clean-context
audit overturned the fifth deletion: the provider-file prohibition was
strictly broader than Step 4, so it was never a paraphrase, and Step 4's
'don't rewrite it yourself' is attached to the if-duplicates branch. With
Write and Edit granted, a provider file that was merely stale had nothing
forbidding an edit. Restored as an unconditional Gotcha, read before any
step writes.

Also restores a concrete indirect trigger. The retrofit had replaced two
with the meta-statement 'even when they don't name the file', which
claims an indirect trigger exists rather than being one -- and users
asking to document a repo for AI tools have no reason to know the
filename.

agentsmd-author

Create or update a target repo's AGENTS.md file(s) by exploring the repo for real conventions.

What it does

Explores a target repo (package manager scripts, Makefile/task runner, CI config, linter config, existing docs) and writes or updates AGENTS.md with only verified commands and conventions — never invented ones. Supports nested monorepo placement, following the agents.md standard's nearest-file-wins precedence. Closes every run by invoking agentsmd-audit inline, and hands off to provider-adapter-author when an existing provider-specific file (CLAUDE.md, etc.) now duplicates content AGENTS.md owns.

Before you start

The agentsmd-audit skill must be available (co-installed in the core plugin) — this skill invokes it as a mandatory closeout step.

Usage

/agentsmd-author

Provide the target repo root (defaults to the current directory) and, if relevant, which subdirectory should get a nested AGENTS.md.
