⚙️ [Maintenance]: New module repositories ship the Claude Code and Copilot agent routes

[Marius Storhaug (MariusStorhaug)]

New module repositories created from this template carry the agent client routes that Claude Code and the Copilot surfaces need. Claude Code finds .claude/CLAUDE.md, and the Copilot surfaces that do not read AGENTS.md natively — Copilot Chat on GitHub.com, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Eclipse, and Copilot code review outside GitHub.com — find .github/copilot-instructions.md. Both files hold a route to the AGENTS.md router and nothing else, so every runtime resolves the same guidance with no second copy of it to drift.

New: Claude Code reaches the repository router

.claude/CLAUDE.md imports the router with the relative form @../AGENTS.md, which the file's position one directory below the root requires.

New: Copilot surfaces without AGENTS.md support reach the repository router

.github/copilot-instructions.md routes to AGENTS.md in a single sentence. Copilot Chat in VS Code and the Copilot cloud agent continue to read AGENTS.md directly and need no file of their own.

Technical details

• Added .claude/CLAUDE.md: an MD041 disable comment and @../AGENTS.md.
• Added .github/copilot-instructions.md: an MD041 disable comment and Follow the instructions in [AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md).
• Both files match the reference implementation carried by MSXOrg/docs itself. The MD041 disable comment follows this repository's own convention from the removed root CLAUDE.md, since the repository's .github/linters/.markdown-lint.yml does not disable MD041 globally.
• Verified with markdownlint-cli2 --config .github/linters/.markdown-lint.yml: 0 issues.
• PSModule/Template-PSModule#48 described both route files in its body, but its diff contains one file change — the deletion of the root CLAUDE.md. Confirmed with git show --stat dad7b12 and gh pr view 48 --json files. No root CLAUDE.md is restored; its removal was correct, because the root file is not a path any runtime requires.
• Standards and framework alignment:

Changed surface	Standards checked	Framework docs checked	Result
.claude/CLAUDE.md (client route)	Agentic Development — client routes	Agentic development design — client behavior	Aligned
.github/copilot-instructions.md (client route)	Agentic Development — client routes	Agentic development design — client behavior	Aligned

• Issue convergence sweep: one open issue exists in this repository, PSModule/Template-PSModule#40, which concerns the pull request template's ending blocks. This diff does not touch it, so no additional issue is resolved.
• Separate defect found and not fixed here: five of the six psmodule.github.io/docs/... links in AGENTS.md return HTTP 404, as does the site root. The msxorg.github.io Agentic Development link also 404s, because that standard moved to Capabilities/agentic-development/. The remaining msxorg.github.io links resolve. This needs tracking on its own.
