docs(agents): add a GEMINI.md pointer to the maintained instructions - #70
Conversation
Adds a GEMINI.md pointer so Gemini-family agents are not blind to the repository instructions that CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md already carries (task #50). The file is a pointer, never a duplicate of the rules. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011eQ7hibx92N7fBDtwgReWk

Adds a
GEMINI.mdpointer file to this repository.Why. An estate-wide census found a large asymmetry in agent-instruction
files:
CLAUDE.mdwas present almost everywhere,GEMINI.mdin a handful ofrepositories. Any coding agent that looks for
GEMINI.mdand does not find oneproceeds with no repository-specific instructions at all.
This file is a pointer, not a second copy of the instructions. Duplicating
guidance across per-agent files guarantees the copies drift. The pointer
redirects to whichever file this repository actually maintains —
AGENTS.mdwhere one exists, otherwise
CLAUDE.md— and says to retarget it atAGENTS.mdwhen one lands.How this commit was built. The change was made with git plumbing against
origin/<default branch>, not by staging a working tree. The branch containsexactly one commit adding exactly one file, and carries none of the unrelated
local state present in this checkout. A per-repository assertion required
git diff --name-only <base> <commit>to equal the expected path set exactly,or the branch was never created.
This PR is opened as a draft on purpose. It is part of a bulk campaign and
is not requesting a merge. Review and merge at your discretion.
