Pull request overview
Renames the guidance section in AGENTS.md from “Spec-Driven Development” to “Context Engineering” to better describe the repo’s practice of using design docs as contextual intent (trade-offs/decisions) for both humans and AI.
Changes:
- Renamed the top-level section to Context Engineering and added a Design Docs subsection.
- Rewrote the guidance bullets to emphasize reading docs first, keeping them in sync, referencing them in code, and maintaining them over time.
- Updated the internal cross-reference in the repository structure list to point to the new section name.

…ng (#9036) ## Summary - Renames the "Spec-Driven Development" section in AGENTS.md to "Context Engineering" with a "Design Docs" subsection - Reframes the motivation: AI needs more context to produce correct code, and code alone doesn't carry all the context - Adds clearer guidelines: **Read first**, **Keep in sync**, **Format**, **Reference in code**, **Maintain like a garden** ## Why the rename? "Spec-Driven Development" implies rigid specs driving the process. We're not doing that — we're human-driven, where design docs provide context (trade-offs, intentions, decisions) for both humans and AI. "Context Engineering" better describes the practice. ## Test plan - [x] AGENTS.md reads coherently - [x] CLAUDE.md (symlink) reflects the change automatically - [x] Internal reference on line 48 updated to point to "Context Engineering" 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

Summary
Why the rename?
"Spec-Driven Development" implies rigid specs driving the process. We're not doing that — we're human-driven, where design docs provide context (trade-offs, intentions, decisions) for both humans and AI. "Context Engineering" better describes the practice.
