chore(aim): adopt the standard AGENTS.md template - #53
Conversation
Replace the hand-written AGENTS.md with AIM's AGENTS.template.md at v0.11.0,
matching the five sibling repositories that already run the standard template.
The bespoke file carried no Template Version stamp and no Instruction
Applicability Matrix, so the agent skills vendored into .agents/skills/ had no
matrix row to route from -- the Skill Dependencies section it did gain pointed
at "the Instruction Applicability Matrix above", which did not exist.
The template comment block is removed, Last sync is set to 2026-08-19, and the
skills row plus the Skill Dependencies section are copied verbatim from
ScheduledTasksManager and ReScenePS so all seven repositories match.
No hand-written content is lost. The repository-specific parts move into
instructions/repository-specific.instructions.md, which is never synced from
upstream: the conventions list, a Key Files table, Code Style, Adding a New
Function, and the Pester testing requirement, merged with what was already
there rather than duplicated. The {{ModuleName}} and {{Prefix}} placeholders
are preserved so Initialize-Template.ps1 still substitutes them.
Also correct a stale claim. Both files said "Pester 5.x" while
build.depend.psd1 pins Version = 'latest' and build.psake.ps1 was hardened for
Pester 6; the text now says Pester 6 and names the pin as the source of truth.Warning Review limit reached

Pull request overview
Adopts AIM’s standard AGENTS.md template (v0.11.0) for this repository and migrates the previously hand-written, repository-specific guidance into instructions/repository-specific.instructions.md, aligning this repo with the rest of the module fleet.
Changes:
- Replaced the custom
AGENTS.mdcontent with the standard AIM template, including the applicability matrix and skill routing. - Moved bespoke repository guidance into
instructions/repository-specific.instructions.mdand expanded it with “Key Files”, “Code Style”, and “Adding a New Function”. - Updated testing guidance to reflect the current Pester rollout and dependency pinning approach.

instructions/repository-specific.instructions.md:87
- This section says “Use Pester 6 syntax”, but the build pins Pester to
Version = 'latest', so the installed major version can change over time. Consider wording this as “Pester syntax” and defer the exact version tobuild.depend.psd1to avoid this becoming stale again.
- Use Pester 6 syntax (`BeforeAll`, `BeforeDiscovery`, and so on). `build.depend.psd1` pins
Pester to `latest`, so the build floats onto the newest released major version; the `UnitTest`
task in `build.psake.ps1` reads that same value so the installed and imported versions agree
instructions/repository-specific.instructions.md:117
- The dependency list calls out “Pester 6”, but
build.depend.psd1setsPester = @{ Version = 'latest' }(so the major version can change). To prevent future drift, avoid hardcoding the major version here.
- PowerShell 5.1 or higher (PowerShell 7+ recommended)
- No external module dependencies for runtime
- Pester 6 (for testing; `build.depend.psd1` pins `Version = 'latest'`)
- psake (for build automation)

- Around line 25-39: Update the instruction-file references in the task matrix
and available-file list in AGENTS.md to use the unambiguous instructions/ prefix
for every applicable entry, including agent-workflow.instructions.md,
shorthand.instructions.md, and the other listed instruction files; preserve the
existing filenames and leave paths that already include directories unchanged.
In `@instructions/repository-specific.instructions.md`:
- Around line 16-22: Update the testing convention statement near “Pester 6” to
match the repository’s dependency policy: either describe the supported
compatibility policy when Version = 'latest' is intentional, or constrain
dependency and build selection to Pester major version 6 when that is the
contract. Keep the module fleet conventions unchanged.

Review feedback. `Version = 'latest'` selects the newest release rather than pinning one, so it can cross a major boundary; wording that hard-codes a major version drifts the same way the "Pester 5.x" text this branch replaced did. State the resolved major once, as the current value, and point at `build.depend.psd1` everywhere else.
Review feedback. The Key Files table references it, so the tree that sits directly above should show where it lives.

Summary
Moves this repository onto AIM's standard
AGENTS.mdtemplate at v0.11.0, joining the fivesibling repositories (ReScenePS, PlexAutomationToolkit, YouTubeMusicPS, SrrDBAutomationToolkit,
ScheduledTasksManager) that already run it. Hand-written content is relocated, not deleted.
Why
The hand-written
AGENTS.mdhad noTemplate Versionstamp and no Instruction ApplicabilityMatrix. When the agent skills were vendored into
.agents/skills/in #52, the Skill Dependenciessection landed but had nowhere to route from: it says the skills "are routed from the Instruction
Applicability Matrix above", and there was no matrix above it. Agents that do not natively scan
.agents/skills/therefore never saw the psake and PowerShellBuild skills.What changed
AGENTS.mdis now AIM'sAGENTS.template.mdat v0.11.0, adapted the way the siblings did it:THIS IS THE TEMPLATE FILEcomment block is deletedTemplate Version: 0.11.0,Last sync: 2026-08-19ScheduledTasksManagerandReScenePS; the file is now identical toReScenePS/AGENTS.mdapart from the sync date
instructions/repository-specific.instructions.mdabsorbs the bespoke content. That file isnever synced from upstream, so it is the correct home for it:
## Project Overview- appended as the conventions list### Key Filestable under Module Structure (plusbuild.depend.psd1)## Build Process; not duplicated### Running Tests; not duplicated## Adding a New Function## Code Style(the prefix rule was already in Naming Conventions)### Pester Tests; only the Pester version line was newAGENTS.mdStaleness fix
Both files claimed "Testing (Pester 5.x)" and "Use Pester 5.x syntax". That is stale:
build.depend.psd1pinsPester = @{ Version = 'latest' }, and the customUnitTesttask inbuild.psake.ps1exists precisely because of the Pester 6 rollout (its comments reference Pester6.0.1 and 6.1.0 breaking CI). The text now says Pester 6 and names
build.depend.psd1as thesource of truth rather than restating a version that will drift again.
