docs: add AGENTS.md for coding agents - #5491
Merged

Conversation
AI coding agents keep rediscovering the same basics: where bundled plugins live, how to run a single test file, and that commits need a DCO sign-off. They also guess at plugin parameters instead of reading the docs, and open pull requests that ignore the template because `gh pr create --body` never applies it. Record that context once so agents start from facts. Signed-off-by: Shizuo Fujita <fujita@clear-code.com>

Fluentd is tested on Linux, macOS and Windows, but agents tend to assume a POSIX-only environment. Record the CI platform matrix so Windows is considered up front. Signed-off-by: Shizuo Fujita <fujita@clear-code.com>

What this PR does / why we need it:
AI coding agents working on this repository keep rediscovering the same basics, and they guess at plugin parameters instead of reading the documentation.
This adds
AGENTS.md, the cross-tool convention read by Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Copilot. It points agents at docs.fluentd.org (including thellms.txtindex and the.mdsuffix that serves any page as Markdown), sketches the repository layout, and restates the contributor rules that matter most: DCO sign-off, tests undertest/, and no new runtime dependencies without discussion. Humans are still directed to CONTRIBUTING.md.Docs Changes:
