Fixes #340 Created AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md to house detailed operational instructions, reducing AGENTS.md from 963 to 626 lines (~35% reduction). Changes: - New AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md with development, testing, and release procedures - AGENTS.md now serves as quick overview with references to detailed docs - Updated README.md link to "Landing the Plane" section - Fixed broken team-workflow README links Benefits: - Prevents context pollution when multiple tools add instructions - Better separation: quick reference vs detailed operations - Enables tool-specific instruction files - Maintains all content, just reorganized 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Creating Your Own Agent
The basic agent workflow:
- Find ready work:
bd ready --json --limit 1 - Claim the task:
bd update <id> --status in_progress --json - Do the work: Execute the task
- Discover new issues:
bd create "Found bug" --json - Link discoveries:
bd dep add <new-id> <parent-id> --type discovered-from - Complete the task:
bd close <id> --reason "Done" --json
All commands support --json for easy parsing.
