+# AGENTS.md
+
+## Project goals
+
+1. **Unify and systematize issue workflow** for the development team with minimal context usage. Issue operations (create, fetch, format) are wrapped in scripts so agents spend tokens on the task, not on re-deriving commands and formats.
+2. **Route all Gitea interaction through the `tea` CLI via scripts** instead of direct ad-hoc calls wherever possible. Scripts give deterministic, reviewable behavior; the `tea-guard` hook enforces that every `tea` invocation runs under the operator-pinned login.
+
+## Repo layout
+
+- `skills/auth` — pin the Gitea login used by `tea` (`/tea:auth`)
+- `skills/use` — `tea` CLI reference, loaded on demand (`/tea:use`); `scripts/` holds helper scripts (e.g. `fetch_issue.py`), `references/` holds command docs and the canonical issue format
+- `skills/issue` — create issues in the canonical format (`/tea:issue`)
+- `hooks/` — PreToolUse hooks: `tea-guard` blocks or rewrites `tea` invocations that don't use the pinned login; `agents-sync` keeps every directory canonical (`AGENTS.md` real file, `CLAUDE.md` symlink to it)

+agents-sync — PreToolUse(Bash) hook.
+
+Before any Bash command runs, walks the project tree and enforces one
+filesystem invariant in every directory:
+
+  AGENTS.md is the real file; CLAUDE.md is a symlink pointing at it.
+
+Per directory:
+  - AGENTS.md real, no CLAUDE.md ........ create symlink CLAUDE.md -> AGENTS.md
+  - CLAUDE.md real, no AGENTS.md ........ rename to AGENTS.md, symlink back
+  - CLAUDE.md symlink -> AGENTS.md ...... already canonical, nothing to do
+  - CLAUDE.md symlink elsewhere ......... re-point at AGENTS.md
+  - AGENTS.md symlink -> real CLAUDE.md . reversed layout: swap to canonical
+  - both real, identical content ........ replace CLAUDE.md with the symlink
+  - both real, different content ........ DON'T touch; report the conflict
+
+The hook never blocks the tool call and never deletes content: every branch
+either performs a lossless fix or reports. Fixes/conflicts are surfaced via
+hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext; silence means the tree was already
+canonical. Any unexpected error fails open (exit 0).
