Overview

This PR configures the repository to follow GitHub's best practices for Copilot coding agents as documented at https://gh.io/copilot-coding-agent-tips. The changes create a centralized configuration hub for AI coding agents to quickly understand the project structure, development workflows, and best practices.

What's New

Created .github/agents/ Directory

Added a new .github/agents/README.md (232 lines) that serves as a centralized configuration hub for all AI coding agents. This file provides:

  • Overview & Quick Start - Fast onboarding with essential setup commands
  • Documentation Structure - Complete guide to all instruction files in the repository
  • Key Concepts - Repository purpose, core technologies (TypeScript, Playwright, Viem, Biome), and architecture principles
  • Development Guidelines - Code quality standards, build workflows, and testing philosophy
  • Agent-Specific Guidance - Tailored instructions for GitHub Copilot, Claude AI, Gemini AI, and other agents
  • Critical Files Reference - Highlights of core API surfaces and important files
  • Common Tasks - Step-by-step guides for adding wallet support, actions, and configuration changes
  • Known Issues - Current limitations and environment requirements
  • Best Practices - 5-step approach for agents to follow when making changes
  • Security Considerations - Safe development practices for blockchain testing

Updated Existing Documentation

.github/copilot-instructions.md (+7 lines):

  • Added reference to the new agents directory in the "GitHub Copilot Configuration" section
  • Added new "Agent Configuration Hub" subsection in "Understanding the Agent Architecture"
  • Ensures agents can easily discover the centralized configuration

README.md (+1 line):

  • Added link to "AI Agent Configuration Hub" as the first item in "Quick Setup Guides"
  • Makes the centralized configuration immediately discoverable from the main README

Documentation Structure

The repository now has a clear documentation hierarchy:

README.md → .github/agents/README.md (Hub)
                ↓
    ├── .github/copilot-instructions.md (GitHub Copilot)
    ├── AGENTS.md (General agents)
    ├── CLAUDE.md (Claude AI)
    ├── GEMINI.md (Gemini AI)
    └── .github/instructions/*.instructions.md (Specialized)

Best Practices Implemented

Following GitHub's recommendations for Copilot coding agents:

  • ✅ Clear project context and overview in .github/ directory
  • ✅ Comprehensive setup instructions with quick start commands
  • ✅ Build and test command documentation
  • ✅ Code patterns and architecture examples
  • ✅ Agent-specific guidance for different AI tools
  • ✅ Proper .github/ directory organization
  • ✅ Cross-references between instruction files
  • ✅ Security considerations for blockchain testing

Verification

All quality checks pass:

  • Build: TypeScript compiles successfully
  • Tests: All 3 tests pass (716ms)
  • Lint: Biome checks pass (27 files)
  • No Breaking Changes: Minimal modifications to existing files

Impact

This setup ensures that:

  1. AI coding agents can quickly discover and understand the project
  2. Documentation is centralized in .github/agents/ for easy discovery
  3. Cross-references make navigation between instruction files seamless
  4. New contributors using AI tools have clear, comprehensive guidance
  5. The repository follows GitHub's recommended structure for AI-assisted development

The changes are minimal, focused, and follow GitHub's best practices while maintaining backward compatibility with all existing documentation.
