This PR introduces files to give instructions to LLM-based coding agents,
and in particular Claude Code. The aim of this file, in addition to getting
started to write code, is to instruct LLMs to do self-reviews when they
have completed as task.
The rationale for this is to experiment with this self-review approach,
hoping to increase the quality of "AI assisted" patches. This is more of
an experiment, and that will only impact users of coding agents.
We can discuss the content of the
AGENTS.mdfile, but it's inspiredby (1) the mozilla-central file, (2) the Claude "insights" based on my
usage, and (3) some more tinkering I did during the Mozilla AI hackathon.
