🐰 Out with the old rules, in with the new,
Dotagents hop along the path we pursue,
Git submodules shift like carrots in rows,
One simple swap and the magic just flows! 🥕

Summary of Changes

Hello @shunkakinoki, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on a refactoring effort to enhance clarity within the project structure. A key submodule, previously named 'rules', has been renamed to 'dotagents' to better describe its function. This change involved updating the Git submodule configuration and adjusting the project's build system to correctly integrate with the newly named component.

Highlights

  • Submodule Renaming: The 'rules' submodule has been renamed to 'dotagents' to provide a clearer indication of its purpose.
  • Configuration Updates: The '.gitmodules' file has been updated to reflect the new submodule name and path, ensuring Git correctly tracks the renamed submodule.
  • Build System Integration: The 'Makefile' has been modified to reference the new 'dotagents/Makefile' path and update related variables, maintaining build system functionality.

Code Review

This pull request refactors the rules submodule by renaming it to dotagents for better clarity. The changes include updating the submodule configuration in .gitmodules with the new name, path, and URL. Correspondingly, the Makefile has been modified to include the Makefile from the new dotagents path and to rename the RULES_SKIP_HELP variable to DOTAGENTS_SKIP_HELP for consistency. The changes are straightforward, well-contained, and accurately reflect the goal of the refactoring. The code quality is good and I have no further suggestions.

Makefile (1)

3-5: Submodule migration verified: all old references removed, new references are correct.

The Makefile changes are accurate—no remaining references to the old rules submodule, and the variable and include path correctly reference dotagents. The use of -include (with the dash prefix) means the Makefile handles the missing dotagents/Makefile gracefully and won't fail if the submodule hasn't been initialized yet.

Submodule .gitmodules declaration is correct, but dotagents is not yet properly initialized.

The .gitmodules file is correct and the rules submodule has been successfully removed. However, the dotagents directory exists but is not yet initialized as a Git submodule (missing .git). The submodule entries are also absent from .git/config.

To complete the submodule setup, run:

git submodule init
git submodule update
