This change moves the existing `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file to `AGENTS.md` in the repository root to follow GitHub's recommended standard for agent instruction files. ## Background GitHub has established `AGENTS.md` as the standard location for agent instructions that can be used by various AI coding assistants, not just GitHub Copilot. This provides better discoverability and compatibility across different agent platforms. ## Changes - Moved `.github/copilot-instructions.md` to `AGENTS.md` - All content preserved exactly (172 lines of comprehensive development guidelines) - No functional changes to the codebase ## Benefits - **Standards Compliance**: Follows GitHub's recommended convention for agent instructions - **Broader Compatibility**: Accessible to various AI agents beyond just GitHub Copilot - **Improved Discoverability**: Located in repository root for easier access - **Future-Proof**: Aligns with evolving standards for AI agent integration The development guide continues to provide the same comprehensive information about DPDispatcher's build system, testing procedures, project structure, and development workflows.
