Could we add another heading about using table test patterns? 🙏

LGTM. I'd also appreciate if agents are instructed to avoid unnecessary comments, and also add godocs to exported declrations.

This MR contains the following updates: | Package | Update | Change | |---|---|---| | [cli/cli](https://github.com/cli/cli) | minor | `v2.88.1` → `v2.89.0` | MR created with the help of [el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot](https://gitlab.com/el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot). **Proposed changes to behavior should be submitted there as MRs.** --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>cli/cli (cli/cli)</summary> ### [`v2.89.0`](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.89.0): GitHub CLI 2.89.0 [Compare Source](cli/cli@v2.88.1...v2.89.0) ####`gh agent-task` now works on ghe.com tenancies `gh agent-task` commands previously failed with `401 Unauthorized` for users on ghe.com tenancy hosts because the Copilot API URL was hardcoded. The URL is now resolved dynamically per host, so `gh agent-task` works correctly regardless of your GitHub hosting environment. #### Experimental new prompter A new TUI-based prompter powered by [charmbracelet/huh](https://github.com/charmbracelet/huh) is available behind the `GH_EXPERIMENTAL_PROMPTER` environment variable. This is an early preview — try it out and share feedback! ``` export GH_EXPERIMENTAL_PROMPTER=1 ``` #### `gh issue create` and `gh issue transfer` no longer require extra token scopes `gh issue create` and `gh issue transfer` previously fetched repository fields they didn't need, which could require additional token scopes. These commands now fetch only the minimal fields necessary for issue operations. #### What's Changed ##### ✨ Features - `gh pr create`, `gh issue create`, `gh issue edit`: search-based assignee selection and login-based mutation on github.com by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​13009](cli/cli#13009) - Add experimental huh-only prompter gated by `GH_EXPERIMENTAL_PROMPTER` by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​12859](cli/cli#12859) ##### 🐛 Fixes - fix(agent-task): resolve Copilot API URL dynamically for ghe.com tenancies by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​12956](cli/cli#12956) - fix(issue): avoid fetching unnecessary fields in `issue create` and `issue transfer` by [@​babakks](https://github.com/babakks) in [#​12884](cli/cli#12884) - fix: resolve data race in codespaces port forwarder by [@​Lslightly](https://github.com/Lslightly) in [#​13033](cli/cli#13033) ##### 📚 Docs & Chores - Record agentic invocations in User-Agent header by [@​williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#​13023](cli/cli#13023) - docs: clarify that `gh pr edit --add-reviewer` can re-request reviews by [@​joshjohanning](https://github.com/joshjohanning) in [#​13021](cli/cli#13021) - Add AGENTS.md by [@​williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#​13024](cli/cli#13024) - Fix typo: remove extra space in README.md link by [@​realMelTuc](https://github.com/realMelTuc) in [#​12725](cli/cli#12725) - Align triage.md with current triage process by [@​tidy-dev](https://github.com/tidy-dev) in [#​13030](cli/cli#13030) - Remove auto-labels from issue templates by [@​tidy-dev](https://github.com/tidy-dev) in [#​12972](cli/cli#12972) - Consolidate actor-mode signals into `ApiActorsSupported` by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​13025](cli/cli#13025) - Fix acceptance test failures: git identity, headRepository JSON, obsolete traversal test by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​13037](cli/cli#13037) #####

Description
Adds foundational
AGENTS.mdto guide agentic development in this repository. I asked GPT 5.4, Opus 4.6, and Sonnet 4.6 to review it for token optimization. I expect we will iterate on this in every PR as we discover necessary prompting changes, but felt like we should land something to begin with.
