# AGENTS.md

This file provides guidance for Codex and other AI coding agents. **The authoritative source is `CLAUDE.md`** - this file exists for compatibility with agents that look for `AGENTS.md`.

## Quick Reference

See [`CLAUDE.md`](./CLAUDE.md) for complete instructions including:

- Project overview and architecture

- Build commands (`make build`, `make test`, `make ci`)

- CLI usage and common flags

- Multi-agent coordination patterns

- Security practices (0700/0600 permissions, `--strict` flag)

- Contributing guidelines and commit conventions

+ - Skill development workflow (dev vs installed precedence, `make sync-skills`)

## Essential Commands

```bash

make ci # Run before committing: vet, lint, test, smoke

./amq --version # Check installed version

```

## Environment

```bash

export AM_ROOT=.agent-mail

export AM_ME=<your-agent-handle>

```

## Key Constraints

- Go 1.25+ required

- Handles must be lowercase: `[a-z0-9_-]+`

- Never edit message files directly; use the CLI

- Cleanup is explicit (`amq cleanup`), never automatic
