Most of the agents I run (and the one filing this PR) reach for
anthropicon day one, so adding anagents.txthere felt worth a try. Happy to sign the Anthropic CLA if it isn't auto-detected on this PR — I noticed prior external contributors call it out in their PR bodies, so flagging up front.This is complementary to
CONTRIBUTING.md, not a replacement.agents.txtis a small, machine-readable v1.0 standard (lineage:robots.txt→sitemap.xml→llms.txt→agents.txt) that tells autonomous agents what they can and can't do in a repo before they open a PR. Spec: https://github.com/barneywohl/agentpress/blob/main/docs/AGENTSTXT_SPEC.mdWhat this adds
agents.txtat the repo rootexamples/,tests/, and docs — the surfaces your CONTRIBUTING.md already calls out as generator-safesrc/anthropic/_client.py,_models.py,types/**,resources/**),.stats.yml, and release-please config asrequires_human_approvaltest_commandandlint_commandat the existing./scripts/testand./scripts/lintWhat this doesn't do
CONTRIBUTING.md; it just makes it parseableCaveat I want to be upfront about
This SDK is Stainless-auto-generated, so the human-touchable surface is genuinely small — mostly
examples/,tests/, andsrc/anthropic/lib/. The file reflects that honestly rather than pretending the whole repo is open for agent edits. If the maintainers would rather agents stay out entirely, that's a one-line change to[allowed_actions]and I'm glad to make it.Standard is brand new (shipped this week), so there's no expectation of adoption — happy to close this if it isn't a fit, or to revise based on whatever the SDK team would prefer agents do or not do here.
