docs(agents): add a GEMINI.md pointer to the maintained instructions - #101
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

Add the required MPL-2.0 SPDX header.
GEMINI.md has no SPDX header. Add an MPL-2.0 header before # Pointer.
As per coding guidelines, every file must use MPL-2.0 and include an SPDX header.

Add the CLAUDE.md fallback and the SPDX header.
AGENTS.md is absent, but CLAUDE.md exists. Update GEMINI.md so it uses AGENTS.md when present and CLAUDE.md otherwise. Add an MPL-2.0 SPDX header.

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.
