-# Forge - 9-Stage TDD Workflow
+# AGENTS.md
 
-A TDD-first workflow for AI coding agents. Ship features with confidence.
+This is a [describe what this project does in one sentence].
 
-## Commands (9 Stages)
+**Package manager**: npm (or specify: pnpm/yarn/bun)
 
-| Stage | Command | Description |
-|-------|---------|-------------|
-| 1 | `/status` | Check current context, active work, recent completions |
-| 2 | `/research` | Deep research with web search, document to docs/research/ |
-| 3 | `/plan` | Create implementation plan, branch, OpenSpec if strategic |
-| 4 | `/dev` | TDD development (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycles) |
-| 5 | `/check` | Validation (type/lint/security/tests) |
-| 6 | `/ship` | Create PR with full documentation |
-| 7 | `/review` | Address ALL PR feedback |
-| 8 | `/merge` | Update docs, merge PR, cleanup |
-| 9 | `/verify` | Final documentation verification |
-
-## Workflow Flow
-
-```
-/status → /research → /plan → /dev → /check → /ship → /review → /merge → /verify
-```
-
-## Core Principles
-
-- **TDD-First**: Write tests BEFORE implementation (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR)
-- **Research-First**: Understand before building, document decisions
-- **Security Built-In**: OWASP Top 10 analysis for every feature
-- **Documentation Progressive**: Update at each stage, verify at end
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Git, GitHub CLI (`gh`)
-- Beads (recommended): `npm i -g @beads/bd && bd init`
-- OpenSpec (optional): `npm i -g @fission-ai/openspec && openspec init`
-
-## Toolchain Quick Reference
-
-### Beads (Issue Tracking)
+**Build commands**:
 ```bash
-bd ready                    # Find unblocked work (start here!)
-bd create "Title" -p 2      # Create issue with priority
-bd update <id> --status in_progress
-bd comments <id> "note"     # Add comment
-bd close <id>               # Complete
-bd sync                     # Git sync (always at session end!)
-```
-
-### OpenSpec (Specs - AI Commands)
-```bash
-/opsx:new                   # Start change
-/opsx:ff                    # Generate all planning docs
-/opsx:apply                 # Implement tasks
-/opsx:verify                # Validate
-/opsx:archive               # Complete
-```
-
-### GitHub CLI
-```bash
-gh pr create --title "..." --body "..."
-gh pr view <n>
-gh pr merge <n> --squash --delete-branch
-```
-
-## Quick Start
-
-1. `/status` - Check where you are
-2. `/research <feature-name>` - Research the feature
-3. `/plan <feature-slug>` - Create formal plan
-4. `/dev` - Implement with TDD
-5. `/check` - Validate everything
-6. `/ship` - Create PR
-
-## Stage Details
-
-### 1. Status (`/status`)
-
-Check current context before starting work:
-- Active issues (via Beads if installed)
-- Recent completions
-- Current branch state
-- OpenSpec proposals in progress
-
-### 2. Research (`/research <feature-name>`)
-
-Research before building:
-- Web search for best practices
-- Security analysis (OWASP Top 10)
-- Existing patterns in codebase
-- Document to `docs/research/<feature>.md`
-
-### 3. Plan (`/plan <feature-slug>`)
-
-Create implementation plan:
-- Create feature branch
-- Define scope and approach
-- Create tracking issue (Beads)
-- OpenSpec proposal if strategic
-
-### 4. Development (`/dev`)
-
-TDD implementation:
-- RED: Write failing test
-- GREEN: Make it pass
-- REFACTOR: Clean up
-- Commit after each GREEN cycle
-
-### 5. Check (`/check`)
-
-Validate everything:
-- Type checking
-- Linting
-- Unit tests
-- Integration tests
-- Security scan
-
-### 6. Ship (`/ship`)
-
-Create pull request:
-- Push branch
-- Create PR with documentation
-- Link to research doc
-- List test coverage
-
-### 7. Review (`/review`)
-
-Address ALL feedback:
-- GitHub Actions failures
-- Code review comments
-- Security scan issues
-- Automated tool feedback
-
-### 8. Merge (`/merge`)
-
-Complete the work:
-- Update documentation
-- Squash merge PR
-- Archive OpenSpec (if used)
-- Close tracking issues
-
-### 9. Verify (`/verify`)
-
-Final documentation check:
-- All docs updated
-- Cross-references valid
-- Examples work
-- README current

-## Skills (Universal SKILL.md Format)
+**Workflow**: See [`docs/WORKFLOW.md`](docs/WORKFLOW.md) for the 9-stage TDD workflow.
 
-The `forge-workflow` skill is installed to all supporting agents:
-- `.claude/skills/forge-workflow/SKILL.md`
-- `.agent/skills/forge-workflow/SKILL.md` (Antigravity)
-- `.cursor/skills/forge-workflow/SKILL.md`
-- `.windsurf/skills/forge-workflow/SKILL.md`
-- `.kilocode/skills/forge-workflow/SKILL.md`
-- `.cline/skills/forge-workflow/SKILL.md`
-- `.continue/skills/forge-workflow/SKILL.md`
-- `.opencode/skills/forge-workflow/SKILL.md`
+**Project-specific conventions**: Add them below as you discover patterns.
