The shared REPO_POLICIES.md lists the files allowed in the repo root, and AGENTS.md is not one of them. Unlike FORMAT.md and contrib/ (moved by #74), there is no obvious place to move it: tools that read agent instructions look for it in the root. It was flagged in #74 (comment), with the recommendation to keep it in the root and change the shared policy to allow it.
Definition of done
Either the shared REPO_POLICIES.md allows AGENTS.md in the repo root and this repo takes that copy, or AGENTS.md moves to an allowed directory and every reference to it is updated.

Question for sneak: may AGENTS.md stay in the repo root?
The shared REPO_POLICIES.md (in https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts) lists the files allowed in the root, and AGENTS.md is not one of them; the current copy there still leaves it out.
Options:
A. (recommended) Keep AGENTS.md in the root and add it to the shared list. Tools that read agent instructions look for it there.
B. Move it to docs/ and update every reference.
Until you answer, AGENTS.md stays where it is; nothing else waits on this.

Already decided by sneak's standing rulings, so adopted, not asked (he can reverse it): agent guidance lives in a root AGENTS.md (never a committed vendor directory), and a repo root keeps only README.md, AGENTS.md and LICENSE as markdown, everything else under docs/. So option A: AGENTS.md stays in the root. If the shared REPO_POLICIES.md in https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts does not list it among the allowed root files, file that one-line fix there; this repo takes the updated copy. Reassigned to clawbot.

Covered by #116: the shared REPO_POLICIES.md now lists AGENTS.md among the allowed root files (sneak/prompts#89, on next there), and mfer takes that copy verbatim in the re-copy 116 tracks. Closing here.
