docs(agents): add community and character guidance to AGENTS.md - #261
Conversation
Add a "Working with the Community" section framing the agent as a guide (not a gatekeeper or substitute author): help contributors produce changes they understand, point them to Discord/Discussions, assume good faith, and talk with people warmly and concisely. Inspired by p5.js's AGENTS.md.

Assessment: Approve Docs-only change (+19 lines) adding a "Working with the Community" section to Review notes
Nicely written addition — the "guide, not gatekeeper" framing is a good north star for agent behavior. |
Trim the community guidance and replace the duplicated "small change / authorship" sentiment with a link to the Creating a High-Quality PR section. Concise on purpose — this file is loaded into agent context, so avoid restating what lives elsewhere.

Assessment: Approve Re-reviewed after the update — the section was tightened to three focused bullets (now +8 lines) and a quality-bar link was added. Reads even better than before. No blocking concerns. Review notes
One non-blocking note — cross-PR anchor dependency: The new link |
…e anchor The #creating-a-high-quality-pr anchor only resolves once strands-agents#258 lands, and the CONTRIBUTING#using-ai-tools anchor depends on strands-agents#257. Link plain CONTRIBUTING.md, which exists on main today, so the reference never dangles regardless of merge order.

No remaining concerns — this is ready from my side. 👍 |
Summary
Parallel to the harness-sdk change, inspired by p5.js's AGENTS.md — a great example of using the agent guide to grow and sustain an OSS community.
AGENTS.mdtoday is technical (architecture, patterns, the PR quality bar). This adds the missing community and character layer: how an agent should treat the people contributing, not just the code.What it adds
A "Working with the Community" section near the top, covering:

Merge order: lands after #258 (Creating a High-Quality PR), which this section links to via the
