Summary

Adds AI agent instruction files and tool configurations to improve this repository's readiness for AI-assisted development, as recommended by the Red Hat Global Engineering Agentic SDLC initiative.

Changes

  • AGENTS.md — Tailored project-specific instructions for AI coding assistants, covering build, test, lint commands, code conventions, project structure, and common task patterns
  • .aider.conf.yml — Configuration for Aider to automatically read AGENTS.md
  • .gemini/settings.json — Configuration for Gemini CLI to use AGENTS.md as context

Context

This change is part of the OADP ecosystem AI-readiness improvement effort using the standardized AgentReady assessment tool.

Claude Code users can install the agents-md mod to automatically read AGENTS.md files.


AI-generated. Review for accuracy.

The direct build command produces a binary without the self-update feature, while the Makefile build remains available. This is a bounded build-instructions issue with a straightforward workaround.

Mark the direct build as non-equivalent to make restic.

make restic runs build.go, which enables the selfupdate tag and disables CGO by default. The direct command omits both settings. The missing tag materially removes the self-update command. The repository does not show project CGO source or build constraints, so do not claim an unconditional CGO-related linking difference.
