Consolidate agent instructions into one AGENTS.md that every tool reads
AGENTS.md has become the cross-tool open standard (60,000+ repos) read natively by Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Aider, Windsurf, and Zed — a plain markdown file at the repo root with no required structure. Rather than maintaining separate .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, and CLAUDE.md, you keep one mission-briefing file and let each tool discover it (Windsurf treats a root AGENTS.md as an always-on rule, subdirectory ones as glob-scoped rules). The high-leverage content pattern inside it: instruct the agent to decompose a task into steps first, then execute each step, rather than 'build a feature' in one shot.
