.copilot/, .claude/, .gemini/ # Vendor dirs — symlinks only, no duplicates

Token Targets

Target: 500 tokens per file
Maximum: 1,000 tokens per file
CLAUDE.md additions: bare minimum — link to rules/skills for details
Single-purpose: each skill/agent/rule does one thing

Two-Tier Architecture

Tier	Location	Purpose
Agents	`.claude/agents/`	Task execution — single-responsibility workers
Skills	`agentsmd/skills/`	Canonical patterns — reusable rules/decision trees

Agents reference skills for patterns. Skills define the "right way" to do something. Agents do NOT duplicate skill logic — they reference it.

Naming Convention

Skills: noun-pattern (e.g., permission-patterns)
Agents: noun-doer (e.g., permissions-analyzer)

Frontmatter Templates

Skill:

---
name: skill-name
description: Pattern description
---

Agent:

---
name: agent-name
description: Action-focused description
model: haiku  # or sonnet/opus
author: JacobPEvans
allowed-tools: [list of tools]
---

Cross-Referencing

In CLAUDE.md: Use @path/to/file to compose content inline. Use markdown links only for conditional "see X if relevant" references.
In agents/skills/rules: Reference by name (e.g., "the code-standards rule"). Rules in .claude/rules/ auto-load.

Vendor Config Standard

Vendor directories contain symlinks only. All canonical content lives in agentsmd/. DRY — never duplicate across vendors.

Rules in agentsmd/rules/ auto-load every session via .claude/rules symlink. Keep rules focused and under 1,000 tokens.
