 This ticket proposes the inclusion of an `AGENTS.md` file for WordPress
 Core, to centrally provide the context for AI assisted coding tools and
 agentic solutions.

 [https://agents.md/ AGENTS.md] is an emerging standard for a central LLM
 assistance file supported by many tools. It addresses the problem of
 having to favor specific tools, and the problem of having to include many
 different files with similar contents just to satisfy different popular
 tools.

 `AGENTS.md` is already widely supported, as seen on the linked website.
 For tools without out-of-the-box support, it should be possible to
 configure the file manually as an additional context file, or to symlink
 it under another file name mandated by the respective tool.

 As for the contents of the file, I think we should approach this
 pragmatically. We will not be able to (nor should we) holistically cover
 everything, and we will need to come up with something that works well
 enough to start with, rather than being perfect. Only actual usage with
 the different AI coding assistants that individual contributors prefer
 will identify room for improvements, whether missing crucial context or
 existing content that confuses LLMs.
