This template should stay neutral about agent tooling. Instead of shipping opinionated AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md files, the README now briefly notes that downstream projects can add them later if they want project-specific guidance. Constraint: Template repos should avoid baking in one team's AI workflow preferences Rejected: Ship placeholder AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md files | still adds default agent surface area to every generated project Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Reversibility: clean Directive: Keep AI-tooling guidance optional unless the template itself depends on it Tested: make check Not-tested: PR rendering on GitHub

Pull request overview
Updates the template documentation to keep AI/agent tooling guidance optional and non-prescriptive, aligning the template with a neutral default stance while still explaining how downstream projects can add such guidance later.
Changes:
- Add an “Optional AI guidance files” section to clarify that
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.mdare not shipped by default. - Document that downstream projects can introduce these files later with project-specific instructions.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
