Add explicit guidance to use repository-relative paths in backticks when referencing files from `AGENTS.md` and `agent-docs/`. Prevent machine-local absolute paths and Markdown links in these docs so routing instructions stay portable and consistent.

Root AGENTS.md Template
Use this structure for the AGENTS.md at the root of the current Git working tree.
Recommended Shape
# Root Entry
- State that this file is the primary routing entrypoint for the repository's agentic documentation tree.
- Define the default path basis.
# Common Constraints
- Keep repository-wide rules here.
- Do not repeat topic-specific rules that belong in child docs.
# Required Instructions Before Editing
- Route to the required child instruction docs.
- Use explicit "Read and follow ..." wording.
Notes
- Keep this file short.
- Treat this file as an instruction document, not a passive index.
- Route to child docs only when they are actually needed.
- When routing to child docs, write repository-relative paths in backticks such as
agent-docs/example.md, not Markdown links or machine-local absolute filesystem paths. - Do not turn the root file into a dump of all topic-specific rules.
